Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a label sticking device, and in particular, a device for printing, etc., on labels temporarily attached at intervals in the longitudinal direction of a strip-shaped release sheet material. The present invention relates to a label sticking device that can peel a printed label from a release sheet material and stick it to an article.

(Prior Art) FIG. 6 is an illustrative view showing an example of a conventional label sticking device which is the background of the present invention. This labeling device 1 includes a holding reel 2, and the holding reel 2 includes a continuous label body 3.
is held in a roll.

Characters, figures, etc. are printed on the labels 4 of the label continuum 3 by printing 115. The printed label 4 is peeled off from the release mount 7 by a release plate 6 and supplied to an article (not shown). The peeling paper 7 from which the label 4 has been peeled off is then wound up by a winding reel 8.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in such conventional labeling devices,
If the label is misaligned with respect to the printing press, in order to position the label in the correct position relative to the printing press,
It takes a lot of effort. This means that in order to position the label at the printing press, the entire label series must be rewound or rewound;
Since the movement in the longitudinal direction of the label continuum is large,
Adjustments for positioning the labels are complicated and time consuming.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a label sticking device that can easily and accurately position a label at the proper printing position of the printing means.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention provides a strip-shaped release sheet material to which labels are temporarily and releasably attached at intervals in the longitudinal direction;
A holding means for holding the release sheet material so as to be transportable in its longitudinal direction; a transport means for transporting the release sheet material in its longitudinal direction; and a transport means provided on the transport path of the release sheet material for printing on a label. a peeling means provided on the downstream side of the printing means on the transfer path of the release sheet material for peeling the label from the release sheet material; and a winding means for winding up the release sheet material. A labeling device comprising: an arm rotatably supported at one end near the transfer path of the release sheet material; and an arm rotatably supported at the other end of the arm and provided on the transfer path of the release sheet material. This label sticking device includes a roller connected to an arm and a displacement means for displacing the other end of the arm in a direction intersecting a transfer path of a release sheet material.

(Function) The other end of the arm is displaced together with the roller in a direction intersecting the direction of transport of the release sheet material by the displacement means. When the roller is displaced in a direction transverse to the transport direction of the release sheet material, the release sheet material is displaced in its longitudinal direction in the vicinity of the printing means. Therefore, the position of the release sheet material in the transport direction is finely adjusted near the printing means.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the position of the release sheet material in the transport direction can be finely adjusted, the label can be easily positioned at an accurate position relative to the printing means.

The above objects, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is an illustrative diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. This label pasting device IO includes a holding reel 1 as a holding means.
2, and a holding reel 12 holds a continuous label body 14 in the form of a roll.

The label continuous body 14 includes a release mount 16 as a strip-shaped release sheet material, and labels 18, for example, heat-sensitive coloring labels provided with a heat-sensitive coloring layer, are pasted to the release mount 16 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction. has been done. In addition, release mount 1
6 is paper, for example.

It includes a band-shaped sheet base material such as a synthetic resin, and a release agent layer is formed on the surface of the sheet base material by applying a release agent such as silicone. Therefore, the label 18 is temporarily and releasably attached to the release mount 16.

The label continuous body 14 pulled out from the holding reel 12 is
Printing machine 2 as printing means via guide roller 20
For example, it is sent to a printer equipped with a thermal head. The label 18 is stopped at this position of the printing press 22. Then, the printing machine 22 prints lines containing character information such as the product name and quantity on the label 18 . At this time, the continuous label body 14 is urged in the unwinding direction by the holding reel 12 so that the continuous label body 14 does not loosen.

After the printing machine 22 prints the image on the label 18 , the label series 14 is pulled out by a feeder roller 24 and a nip roller 26 .

The label continuous body 14 drawn out by the feeder roller 24 and the nip roller 26 is guided to the roller 28.

This roller 28 is provided so as to be displaceable on the transport path of the release sheet material 16 in a direction intersecting the transport direction of the release sheet material 16 .

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the roller 2
8 is rotatably supported by a shaft 30 at the lower end of an arm 32. Further, the upper end of the arm 32 is rotatably supported by a base 35 (FIG. 2) via a shaft 34 so that the lower end thereof can swing in the thickness direction of the release mount 16 on the transfer path.

Further, in the central portion of the arm 32 in the longitudinal direction, a cross section “
A U-shaped bearing member 36 is fixed. This bearing member 3
6, a shaft 38 is rotatably supported. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a hole 38a is formed in the shaft 38 and extends through the shaft in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. One end side of another shaft 40 is inserted into the hole 38a of this shaft 38. Furthermore, this shaft 40 is fixed by a split pin 41.41 so that it does not come out of the hole 38a of the shaft 38. This shaft 40 is therefore rotatably mounted relative to the shaft 38. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a male threaded portion 40a is formed on the other end side of the shaft 40, and this male threaded portion 40a is
It is screwed into a female thread of a female thread member 42 fixed to the base 35 (FIG. 2). Furthermore, a knob 44 for rotating the shaft 40 is fixed to the other end of the shaft 40. Therefore, by rotating the knob 44 in the direction shown by arrow A in FIG. 1, the roller 28 can be displaced in the direction shown by arrow A' in FIG. Conversely, by rotating knob 44 in the direction shown by arrow B in FIG. 1, roller 28 can be displaced in the direction shown by arrow B' in FIG.

By displacing the roller 28 in a direction that intersects the transport direction of the release sheet material 16 in this manner, the release mount 16 is displaced in the longitudinal direction near the printing press 22, so that the position of the label 18 with respect to the printing press 22 can be adjusted. Can be adjusted.

For example, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4A, the label 18
is on the downstream side of the printing machine 22 in the transport direction, the knob 44 is rotated in the direction shown by arrow A in FIG. 1, and the roller 28 is moved in the direction shown by arrow A' as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4A. Contrary to this, as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. If there is, rotate the knob 44 in the direction shown by arrow B in Figure 1.
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 4B, the roller 28 may be displaced in the direction indicated by the arrow B', and the label 18 may be displaced downstream in the transport direction.

Therefore, in this labeling device 10, the knob 44
By adjusting the label 18, the label 18 can be easily positioned in the correct position relative to the printing press 22.

The release liner 16 that has passed through the rollers 28 is guided to the release plate 46 and is sharply bent there, whereby the label 18 is peeled off from the release liner 16. The peeled label 18 is then attached to an article (not shown). Moreover, the peeling mount 16 from which the label 18 has been peeled off
is transported by the feeder roller 48 and the nif roller 50, and is further wound up into a roll onto the take-up reel 54 via the guide roller 52.

In addition, in the displacement means of the above-described embodiment, when the roller 28 is displaced, the knob 44 is also displaced accordingly, but instead of such a displacement means, a displacement means shown in FIG. 5 may be used. . The displacement means shown in FIG. 5 includes a male screw 60, and one end of the male screw 60 is pivoted to the intermediate portion of the arm 32 via a support member 62. Further, the male threaded portion 60a of the male thread 60 is the female threaded portion 60 of the cylindrical female threaded member 64.
4a. A shaft 66 is fixed to one end of this female threaded member 64, and the shaft 66 is rotatably supported by a bearing 68. Therefore, this female threaded member 64 is rotatably supported. Furthermore, a knob 44 for rotating the female screw member 64 is fixed to the shaft 66. Therefore, by rotating the knob 44, the roller 28 can be displaced in a direction intersecting the direction in which the release liner 16 is transported. In this case, even if the roller 28 is displaced, the knob 44 is not displaced. Therefore, with the displacement means shown in FIG. 5, the knob 44 exists at a constant position, and therefore it is easy to adjust the knob 44.
