Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

  The present invention relates to a tape cutting interlock mechanism that is provided in a tape cutting device and that can automatically perform operations other than tape cutting in conjunction with a series of operations for cutting various tapes such as adhesive tapes.

Background of the Invention

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tape cutting device for cutting various tapes such as an adhesive tape (for example, cello tape (registered trademark)) used for bonding various members into a length suitable for bonding is known. In general, in a tape cutting device, a main body portion that rotatably holds a tape reel (a multi-layer winding of an adhesive tape around a winding frame) and a tape end portion pulled out from the tape reel are temporarily fixed. A fixing unit; and a tape cutting blade disposed adjacent to the fixing unit. With such a configuration, the user of the tape cutting device grasps the tape end portion fixed to the fixing portion, pulls it away from the fixing portion, and then pulls it in the direction away from the tape reel, thereby holding the tape cutting device in the holding portion. Rotate the tape reel and pull out the tape from the tape reel. In this way, when the tape is pulled out by a desired length, the tape is cut by the tape cutting blade at that point, and the tape having the required length is cut out. On the other hand, the tape end portion after being cut out is automatically arranged on the fixing portion adjacent to the tape cutting blade, and is bonded to the fixing portion to be fixed.

  Incidentally, there is a case where it is desired to perform work other than tape cutting along with the tape cutting work by such a tape cutting device. However, in the conventional tape cutting apparatus, work related to such tape cutting has to be performed as a separate work for each tape cutting, and the efficiency of the work is poor. For example, in some tape cutting devices, a tape cutting blade is covered with a protective cover so that the tape cutting blade is not exposed when not in use. Such a protective cover is not used for the tape cutting device. It must be attached to and detached from the tape cutting blade every time. In addition, when packaging products using adhesive tape, you may want to keep information such as when, where, and by whom packaging using this adhesive tape was performed. ) Also needs to be done as a separate task from tape cutting.

Summary of the Invention

  A restriction member for restricting an operation range of the second actuating member, and when the second actuating member is operated to a point restricted by the restricting member, the stamping on the adhesive tape by the stamp member is performed It may be made.

  The stamp member may be retracted to a position separated from the position in contact with the adhesive tape by a predetermined return gap after the stamping on the adhesive tape.

  A fixing unit to which the adhesive tape is temporarily fixed may be provided, and the stamp member may be disposed at a position adjacent to the fixing unit.

  As the stamp member, a lower stamp member disposed below the tape may be provided.

  An elevating member is provided below the tape and moves up and down relative to the tape in conjunction with the operation of the first and second actuating members, and the lower stamp member is fixed to the elevating member. You may do it.

  An upper pressing member may be provided above the tape, and the tape may be sandwiched between the lower stamp member and the upper pressing member when the lower stamp member is engraved on the tape.

  The stamp member may further include an upper stamp member disposed above the tape, and the upper stamp member may be the upper pressing member.

  As the stamp member, an upper stamp member disposed above the tape may be provided.

  An opening / closing member that operates in conjunction with the operation of the first and second actuating members between a closed position arranged close to the upper surface of the tape and an open position arranged separated from the upper surface of the tape. The upper stamp member may be provided on the opening / closing member.

  A lower pressing member may be provided below the tape, and the tape may be sandwiched between the upper stamp member and the lower pressing member when the upper stamp member is engraved on the tape.

  The stamp member may further include a lower stamp member disposed below the tape, and the lower stamp member may be the lower pressing member.

  The protective member may be moved to an operating position in conjunction with an operation of the first operating member, and may be moved to a non-operating position in conjunction with an operation of the second operating member.

  The protective member may be a plate-like member disposed adjacent to the tape cutting means.

  The tape cutting interlocking mechanism may be configured as a cartridge that is detachably attached to the tape cutting device.

  The tape may be an adhesive tape.

  According to the present invention, the first actuating member (for example, the first operation lever 41) of the tape cutting interlocking mechanism (for example, the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10, 50) is connected to the tape cutting means (for example, the tape cutting blade 12). It is arranged on the tape reel (for example, tape reel 2) side with respect to the blade portion 12A). Desirably, the first actuating member is disposed immediately below the tape from the tape reel to the tape cutting means. Accordingly, when the user tries to pull out the tape (for example, the adhesive tape 5) from the tape reel when using the tape cutting apparatus (for example, the tape cutting apparatus 1), the user's hand performs the first operation. Since the first operating member is operated unintentionally contacting the member, the interlocking member (for example, the protective cover 22, the stamp members 23, 53) is operated by the user consciously before cutting the tape. Otherwise, it moves from the non-actuated position to the actuated position or from the actuated position to the non-actuated position.

  On the other hand, the 2nd operation member (for example, 2nd operation lever 43) of a tape cutting | disconnection interlocking mechanism is arrange | positioned on the opposite side to a tape reel with respect to a tape cutting means. Desirably, the second actuating member is disposed obliquely below the tape cutting means. As a result, when the user moves the hand to pull the tape down below the tape cutting means in order to cut the tape using the tape cutting means, the user's hand after the tape cutting is unconsciously Since the second actuating member is operated in contact with the second actuating member, the interlocking member can be moved from the actuated position to the non-actuated position or not after the tape is cut, even if the user does not perform a conscious operation. Move from operating position to operating position.

  As described above, according to the tape cutting interlocking mechanism of the present invention, the interlocking member is moved to the non-operating position in conjunction with a series of operations in which the user of the tape cutting device pulls out the tape from the tape reel and cuts it with the tape cutting means. It moves between the operating positions, and by this interlocking member, another work associated with the tape cutting (for example, stamp stamping on the adhesive tape 5 by the stamp members 23, 53 and opening / closing of the protective cover 22 covering the tape cutting means) is executed. Therefore, another work associated with the tape cutting can be automatically performed in parallel with the tape cutting work without the user being particularly conscious, and the efficiency of the whole work is remarkably improved.

  As the interlocking member, a stamp member (for example, stamp members 23 and 53) for imprinting on the tape is provided, and this stamp member is interlocked with the operation of the first operating member (for example, the elevating member 20 is at the lower position). At the position where the stamp members 23 and 53 are disposed) and in conjunction with the operation of the second actuating member, the actuating positions (for example, the printing portion 23A of the stamp member 23 and the printing portion of the stamp member 53). If 53A is moved to the position pressed against the adhesive tape 5, the stamping operation on the tape by the stamp member is performed in accordance with the tape cutting operation.

  In this case, a restriction member (for example, a buffer member 46) that restricts the operation range of the second operation member is provided, and the tape by the stamp member when the second operation member is operated to a point restricted by the restriction member. If stamping is made on the stamp member, the stamp member is pressed to an appropriate position with respect to the tape, and an appropriate stamping operation can be performed.

  In addition, if the stamp member is moved back to a position separated from the position in contact with the tape by a predetermined return gap after marking on the tape, the stamp member will continue to be pressed against the tape more than necessary after the stamping operation is completed. It is no longer necessary to carry out appropriate stamping work.

  Further, if a fixing unit (for example, the fixing units 11H and 11I) to which the tape is temporarily fixed is provided and the stamp member is disposed at a position adjacent to the fixing unit, the tape is near the point where the stamp member is marked. Thus, the stamping operation can be performed appropriately because the image is appropriately held by fixing to the fixing unit.

  If a lower stamp member (for example, stamp 23) disposed below the tape is provided as the stamp member, appropriate printing can be performed on the lower surface of the tape. Further, when an upper pressing member (for example, a stamp 53) that holds the tape between the lower stamp member and the lower stamp member is engraved on the tape by the lower stamp member, the upper pressing member is moved to the lower side during the engraving operation. It functions as a pedestal for stamping the stamp member, and the portion to be stamped with the tape is firmly fixed between the lower stamp member and the upper pressing member and does not move. It can be performed.

  Further, if the lower stamp member is fixed to an elevating member (for example, the elevating member 20) that moves up and down with respect to the tape in conjunction with the operation of the first and second actuating members, the lower stamp member becomes the first stamp member. And it can operate | move appropriately interlock | cooperating with operation of a 2nd action | operation member.

  Further, if an upper stamp member (for example, stamp 53) disposed above the tape is provided as the stamp member, appropriate printing on the upper surface of the tape can be performed. Further, when a lower pressing member (for example, a stamp 23) is sandwiched between the upper stamp member and the upper stamp member at the time of marking on the tape by the upper stamp member, the lower pressing member is used as the upper stamp during the marking operation. It functions as a pedestal for the stamping of the member, and the part to be stamped with the tape is firmly fixed between the upper stamp member and the lower pressing member and will not move. It can be carried out.

  An opening / closing member that operates in conjunction with the operation of the first and second actuating members between a closed position arranged close to the upper surface of the tape and an open position arranged separated from the upper surface of the tape. If the upper stamp member is provided on the opening / closing member 51 (for example, the opening / closing member 51), the upper stamp member can be operated in conjunction with the operation of the first and second actuating members appropriately.

  Further, the interlocking member includes a protective member (for example, a protective cover 22) that hides the tape cutting means when not in use, and the protective member is operated in conjunction with the operation of the first operating member (for example, the protective cover 22). The upper end of the tape cutting blade 12 is moved to a position below the blade portion 12A of the tape cutting blade 12, and the non-operating position (for example, the upper end of the protective cover 22 is the tape cutting blade in conjunction with the operation of the second operating member). The position where the tape cutting means is hidden by the protective member is released only for a period necessary for the tape cutting operation, and the tape cutting is performed. After the work is completed, the protective member can hide the tape cutting means again.

  Also, if the tape cutting interlock mechanism is a cartridge that can be attached to and detached from the tape cutting device, the user can use the work cartridge by attaching it to the tape cutting device in accordance with the work to be interlocked with the tape cutting. Therefore, various operations can be performed with one tape cutting device, and the range of operations can be widened and costs can be saved.

On both side surfaces 11A and 11B of the housing 11, guide grooves 11C and 11D extending in the vertical direction are formed. When the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 is mounted on the main body 3 of the tape cutting device 1, guide protrusions (not shown) formed on the interlocking mechanism attaching portion 4 of the main body 3 are used as guide grooves 11 </ b> C and 11 </ b> D of the housing 11. To fit. As a result, the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 can be mounted straight at the correct position of the interlocking mechanism mounting portion 4 and can be easily removed along the guide protrusion.

  A tape cutting blade 12 is fixed to the upper portion of the front surface 11F of the housing 11 with its blade portion 12A facing upward. An opening 11G is formed on the upper surface of the housing 11, and front and rear of the opening 11G are fixing portions 11H and 11I on which the end of the adhesive tape 5 is temporarily attached and placed. ing. In FIGS. 2 and 3, for convenience of illustration, the adhesive tape 5 is located at a position away from the fixing units 11H and 11I, but actually contacts the fixing units 11H and 11I.

  A substantially rectangular parallelepiped lifting member 20 is disposed inside the housing 11. The elevating member 20 is disposed immediately below the opening 11 </ b> G of the housing 11 and penetrates the guide cylinders 13 and 14 fixed inside the housing 11. The elevating member 20 can slide up and down within a predetermined range with respect to the guide cylinders 13 and 14, and the upper surface of the elevating member 20 reaches substantially the same level as the upper surface of the housing 11 at the upper limit of sliding. .

  A protective cover 22, which is a plate-like member, is fixed near the upper portion of the elevating member 20 via support legs 21. The base end of the support leg 21 is fixed near the upper end of the elevating member 20, and extends outside the housing 11 through the guide tube 13 in the housing 11 and the opening formed in the front surface 11 </ b> F of the housing 11. I'm out. The protective cover 22 is fixed to the front end of the support leg 21, and is disposed outside the housing 11 and immediately in front of the tape cutting blade 12. The upper end of the protective cover 22 rises to above the blade part 12A of the tape cutting blade 12 when the elevating member 20 is in the raised position (upper position described later), and the front of the blade part 12A is completely covered by the protective cover 22 It will be covered. Thereby, it can prevent that an operator touches the blade part 12A of the tape cutting blade 12 accidentally. On the other hand, when the elevating member 20 is in a lowered position (a lower position to be described later), the upper end of the protective cover 22 is lowered to below the blade portion 12A of the tape cutting blade 12. Thus, the tape cutting operation can be performed by the blade portion 12A of the exposed tape cutting blade 12.

  A stamp 23 is housed inside the elevating member 20. The upper end of the elevating member 20 is an opening, and the stamp 23 is fixed to the elevating member 20 so that the printing portion 23A is disposed slightly above the opening at the upper end of the elevating member 20.

  A positioning mechanism 30 for holding the position of the elevating member 20 at the upper position or the lower position is provided at a position adjacent to the back surface 11E side of the housing 11 with respect to the elevating member 20. The positioning mechanism 30 includes a rotation plate 31, an engagement member 32, and a tension spring 33.

  The rotating plate 31 is a plate-like member that is rotatably supported with respect to the lower guide cylinder 14 via the rotating shaft 34, and is provided at the upper half portion 31 </ b> A above the rotating shaft 34 and below. And a lower half 31B. Here, the rotation shaft 34 is arranged at a point away from the guide tube 14 to some extent, and the rotating plate 31 can take an inclined position with respect to the guide tube 14 and the elevating member 20. .

  The engaging member 32 is a plate-like member fixed to the side surface of the elevating member 20 so as to be positioned between the upper guide tube 13 and the lower guide tube 14, and a step portion 32A is formed near the upper end. Has been. When the upper end of the rotating plate 31 comes into contact with the engaging member 32, the elevating member 20 is supported by the rotating plate 31 at the upper position or the lower position. Specifically, when the elevating member 20 is in the upper position, the upper end of the rotating plate 31 is in contact with the lower end surface 32C of the engaging member 32 as shown in FIG. When the elevating member 20 is in the lower position, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper end of the rotating plate 31 comes into contact with the downward surface 32B formed by the step portion 32A.

  The tension spring 33 is stretched between the hook 35 fixed to the rotating plate 31 and the hook 36 of the engaging member 33 to urge the elevating member 20 downward. Here, the hook 35 of the rotating plate 31 has a direction in which the tension spring 33 tilts the upper half portion 31A of the rotating plate 31 (a portion above the rotating shaft 34) toward the lifting member 20 (FIG. 2, FIG. 2). 3 (clockwise direction 3) is fixed at a position (for example, below the rotating shaft 34) to be urged. The hook 36 of the engagement member 33 is fixed above the downward stepped portion 32B.

  On the back surface 11 </ b> E side of the housing 11, a base end of the first operation lever 41 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the housing 11 via a rotation shaft 42. The front end (free end) of the first operation lever 41 extends upward from the opening formed in the back surface 11E of the housing 11 to the outside of the housing 11, and the first operation lever 41 is connected to the housing 11. It is arranged along the back surface 11E while having a slight angle with respect to the back surface 11E. Thereby, the tip of the first operation lever 31 is arranged immediately below the adhesive tape 5 from the tape reel 2 to the tape cutting blade 12.

  The first operation lever 41 is formed with a protrusion 41A facing the lifting member 20 side. As a result, when the first operating lever 41 is rotated in the direction in which the tip approaches the housing 11 (clockwise direction in FIGS. 2 and 3), the protrusion 41 </ b> A becomes the lower half of the rotating plate 31. By contacting 31B (the part below the rotation shaft 34), the rotation plate 31 moves in a direction in which the lower half portion 31 approaches the lifting member 20 (counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 2 and 3). It is designed to turn toward.

  On the front surface 11 </ b> F side of the housing 11, a second operation lever 43 is rotatably supported with respect to the housing 11 via a rotation shaft 44. The second operation lever 43 includes a distal end side half 43A and a proximal end side half 43B on both sides of the rotation shaft 44, respectively. The front end side half 43A is disposed below the elevating member 20 in the housing 11, and a push-up portion 45 for pushing up the elevating member 20 is provided on the upper surface thereof. On the other hand, the base end side half portion 43 </ b> B extends toward the side of the housing 11 from an opening formed in the front surface 11 </ b> F of the housing 11. Thereby, the base end side half portion 43B of the second operation lever 43 is disposed obliquely below the blade portion 12A of the cutting blade 12, and the tape cutting operator is directed downward of the blade portion 12A of the cutting blade 12. When the adhesive tape 5 is pulled down, the operator's hand pushes the proximal end side half 43B from above, so that the operation lever 43 pushes up the lifting member 20 (clockwise direction in FIGS. 2 and 3). It is designed to rotate.

  In the vicinity of the lower end of the housing 11, a buffer member 45 fixed to the front surface 11 </ b> F is disposed so as to be positioned below the proximal end side half 43 </ b> B of the operation lever 43. Accordingly, the rotation of the second operation lever 43 is limited to a range in which the proximal end side half 43B is in contact with the buffer member 45. In this case, the highest reaching point where the elevating member 20 is pushed up is determined by the maximum rotation angle of the second operation lever 43. The highest reaching point of the elevating member 20 is the rotation plate 31 of the positioning mechanism 30 described above. The printing portion 23A of the stamp 23 fixed to the elevating member 20 is pressed against the adhesive tape 5 slightly higher than the point where the elevating member 20 is supported by the contact between the upper end of the engaging member 32 and the downward surface 32A of the engaging member 32. It is set to the point where That is, the holding point at the upper position by the positioning mechanism 30 is set at a position lower than the highest reaching point of the elevating member 20 by a slight return gap (backlash).

  With such a configuration, when the operator's hand pushes down and rotates the second operation lever 43 during the tape cutting operation, the operation lever 43 is rotated until it comes into contact with the buffer member 46, and the elevating member 20. Once rises to the highest point and printing on the adhesive tape 5 by the stamp 23 is performed. Thereafter, when the operator's hand is released from the operation lever 43, the elevating member 20 is slightly lowered to the support point by the positioning mechanism 30 by the spring force of the tension spring 33. As a result, the stamp 23 is arranged at a position away from the tape after printing.

  Next, the operation of the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 of this embodiment will be described.

  In the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 in the initial state, as shown in FIG. 2, the elevating member 20 is at an upper position and is supported by a rotating plate 31 that is in contact with the lower end portion 32 </ b> C of the engaging member 32. Further, the first operation lever 41 is inclined in a direction away from the housing 11 of the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 2), and the second operation lever 43 is a proximal-end-side half portion. 43B has been rotated to a position where it comes into contact with the buffer member 45. In addition, the edge part of the adhesive tape 5 is being fixed to the fixing parts 11H and 11I of the tape cutting | disconnection interlocking mechanism 10, and the part of the adhesive tape 5 arrange | positioned between the fixing parts 11H and 11I is the last tape cutting | disconnection. Printing is performed by the stamp member 23 made during the work.

  When cutting the tape, the operator holds the adhesive tape 5 disposed between the tape reel 2 and the tape cutting interlock mechanism 10 and moves the hand holding the adhesive tape 5 forward (tape cutting interlock mechanism 10 side). Then, the adhesive tape 5 is pulled out from the tape reel 2. When the operator moves his / her hand in this way, the operator's finger naturally comes into contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the first operation lever 41 of the tape cutting interlock mechanism 10 (in the flow of the cutting operation) ( (See FIG. 2). Thereby, the operation lever 41 is rotated in the standing direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 2), and the protrusion 41 </ b> A of the operation lever 41 presses the lower half 31 </ b> B of the rotation plate 31. As a result, the rotating plate 31 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2, and the upper end of the rotating plate 31 moves from below the lower end surface 32 </ b> C of the engaging member 32 to engage with the rotating plate 31. The engagement with the joint member 32 is released.

  In this way, the elevating member 20 that has been unsupported by the rotating plate 31 is lowered by the spring force of the tension spring 33, and is moved to a lower position (the upper end of the rotating plate 31 and the engagement member 30) as shown in FIG. (Position supported by the contact of the downward surface 32B). Along with this, the upper end of the protective cover 22 moves below the blade part 12A of the tape cutting blade 12, and the protection state of the tape cutting blade 12 by the protective cover 22 (the state where the blade part 12A is hidden) is released. Thus, the tape can be cut with the tape cutting blade 12. Further, in the second operation lever 43, when the distal end side half 43A (push-up portion 45) is pushed downward by the elevating member 20, the base end side half 43B is separated from the buffer member 46 (reverse to FIG. 3). It rotates in the clockwise direction) and is largely inclined upward.

  Subsequently, the operator pulls the adhesive tape 5 to the front of the tape cutting blade 12 and cuts it with the blade portion 12 </ b> A of the tape cutting blade 12. In this case, the operator moves his / her hand holding the adhesive tape 5 downward, so that the operator's hand naturally (within the flow of the cutting operation) moves the base of the operation lever 43. It hits the end half 43B. As a result, the operating lever 43 rotates in the clockwise direction of FIG. 3 until the proximal end half 43 contacts the buffer member 46. In addition, the adhesive tape 5 behind the tape cutting blade 12 is pressed against the fixing units 11H and 11I and is fixed on the fixing units 11H and 11I.

  As described above, when the operation lever 43 is rotated, the push-up portion 45 provided in the distal half portion 43A pushes the lifting member 20 upward. When the operation lever 43 rotates until it hits the buffer member 46, the elevating member 20 once reaches the highest point. Thereby, the printing part 23A of the stamp 23 fixed to the elevating member 20 is pressed against the adhesive tape 5 arranged between the fixing parts 11H and 11I, and printing on the adhesive tape 5 is performed. Since the adhesive tape 5 is fixed to the fixing portions 11H and 11I before and after the portion where printing is performed, the stamp 23 pressed for printing can be properly received, and appropriate printing is performed. be able to.

  After the cutting operation is performed in this way, when the operator's hand leaves the operation lever 43, the lifting member 20 is slightly lowered to the support point at the upper position by the positioning mechanism 30 by the spring force of the tension spring 33. Then, the initial state as shown in FIG. 2 is restored. In this case, the rotating plate 31 is urged by the tension spring 33 in the direction in which the upper half portion 31A approaches the lifting member 20 (clockwise direction in FIG. 3), so that the lifting member 20 reaches the highest reaching point. When the upper end of the rotating plate 31 turns around the lower end surface 32C of the engaging member 30 and the elevating member 20 is lowered by the return gap, the upper end of the rotating plate 31 is Abutting on the lower end surface 32C, the elevating member 20 can be supported at the upper position.

  Thus, when the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 returns to the initial state, the upper end of the protective cover 22 is again disposed above the blade portion 12A of the tape cutting blade 12. Thereby, until the next tape cutting operation, the front of the tape cutting blade 12 is covered with the protective cover 22, and the operator is prevented from touching the blade portion 12A of the tape cutting blade 12 by mistake. The

  As described above, according to the tape cutting interlock mechanism 10 of the present embodiment, the first and second operation levers 41 and 43 for operating the tape cutting interlock mechanism 10 are provided, and the first operation lever 41 is Adjacent to the tape reel 2 side with respect to the tape cutting blade 12 (on the front side of the tape cutting blade 12 as viewed from the direction of the operator's hand in the cutting operation), it is disposed immediately below the adhesive tape 5, The second operating lever 43 is adjacent to the side opposite to the tape reel 2 with respect to the tape cutting blade 12 (on the rear side of the tape cutting blade 12 as viewed from the direction of movement of the operator's hand in the cutting operation). Since the blade 12 is arranged obliquely below the blade portion 12A, when the operator performs the tape cutting operation, the operator's hand naturally becomes the first in the flow of a series of cutting operations. Operation lever 41 and second operation Against bar 43, respectively in contact with the front and rear of the tape cutting. Therefore, the operation of the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 linked to the movement of the operation levers 41 and 43 (marking and protection by the stamp member 23) can be performed only by performing the cutting operation of the adhesive tape 5 normally without the operator being particularly conscious. The cover 22 is automatically opened and closed at an appropriate timing. Therefore, the work related to the tape cutting can be efficiently performed simultaneously with the tape cutting, and the work efficiency of the tape cutting and the related work is remarkably improved.

  6 to 12 show a tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the following description and drawings, elements having the same configuration and function as the elements of the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 of the first embodiment have the same numbers. The description is omitted and the description is omitted.

  The tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 is detachably attached to the interlocking mechanism attaching portion 4 of the tape cutting device 1 as shown in FIG. 6, and as shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 of the first embodiment is used. In addition to the same configuration as the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10, an opening / closing member 51 disposed adjacent to the opening 11 </ b> G of the housing 11 is provided.

  The opening / closing member 51 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped plate member, and is pivotally supported by a lower edge portion of one side surface with respect to an upper end edge portion of the housing 11 via a rotation shaft 52. Thereby, the opening / closing member 51 can operate between the closed position shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 10 and the open position shown in FIGS. 8, 11, and 12. In the closed position, the opening / closing member 51 is disposed substantially horizontally so as to cover the opening 11G of the housing 11, and the lower surface thereof is located at a position close to the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5 disposed between the fixing portions 11H and 11I. is there. On the other hand, in the open position, the opening / closing member 51 is disposed substantially vertically so as to open the opening 11G of the housing 11, and its lower surface is separated from the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5 disposed between the fixing portions 11H and 11I. In the position.

  A thin stamp 53 is attached to the lower surface of the opening / closing member 51 with the printing portion 53A exposed downward. Here, when the opening / closing member 51 is in the closed position, the printing portion 53A of the stamp 53 is positioned slightly above the adhesive tape 5, and contact with the adhesive tape 5 is cut off. On the other hand, as will be described in detail later, when the opening / closing member 51 rotates to the adhesive tape 5 side beyond the closed position during the tape cutting operation, the printing portion 53A comes into contact with the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5. The printing is performed on the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5.

  When the opening / closing member 51 is in the closed position, the stamp 53 is arranged at a position aligned with the stamp 23 provided in the elevating member 20. Thereby, at the time of printing, the printing part of the adhesive tape 5 is sandwiched from above and below by the stamp 53 and the stamp 23, and printing is performed in a properly fixed state. That is, in the present embodiment, the lower stamp 23 functions as a lower pressing member that supports the upper stamp 53 from the lower side, and the upper stamp 53 presses the lower stamp 23 from the upper side. It functions as a pressing member.

  In the present embodiment, the stamp 53 and the stamp 23 are arranged both above and below the adhesive tape 5 so that printing is performed on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the adhesive tape 4. It is not restricted to such a form. For example, one of the stamp 53 and the stamp 23 may be a simple pressing member that does not have a printing function.

  The opening / closing member 51 is connected to the elevating member 20 via a link member 54. Specifically, the link member 54 is a plate-like member disposed along the longitudinal direction of the elevating member 20, and includes an upper connection portion 54A and a lower connection portion 54B at the upper and lower ends thereof. 54 A of upper connection parts are connected with the upper-end edge part of the side surface to which the rotating shaft 52 of the opening-and-closing member 51 was connected so that rotation was possible via the rotating shaft 55. As shown in FIG. Further, the lower connecting portion 54 </ b> B is fixed near the lower end of the elevating member 20.

  Next, the operation of the tape cutting interlock mechanism 50 will be described.

  When the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 is in the initial state and the elevating member 20 is in the upper position, the link portion 54 is disposed at a position pushed upward together with the elevating member 20. In this case, since the upper connecting portion 54A pushes up the upper end edge of the opening / closing member 51, the closing member 51 is in the closed position as shown in FIGS. In this initial state, the portion of the adhesive tape 5 disposed between the fixing portions 11H and 11I (the portion disposed below the closing member 51) includes the stamp 23 and the stamp that were formed in the previous tape cutting operation. 53 is printed.

  When cutting the tape from this initial state, when the operator's finger holding the adhesive tape 5 contacts the first operation lever 41 of the tape cutting interlock mechanism 50 (see FIG. 7), the tape cutting interlock mechanism 50 The operation is exactly the same as that described for the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. As a result, the elevating member 20 is lowered to a lower position as shown in FIG. 8, and the protection state of the tape cutting blade 12 by the protective cover 22 (the state where the blade portion 12A is hidden) is released accordingly.

  Further, in the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 of the present embodiment, the link member 54 fixed to the elevating member 20 is also lowered as the elevating member 20 is lowered, so that it is connected to the upper connecting portion 54A of the link member 54. The upper edge of the open / close member 51 is pulled downward. As a result, the opening / closing member 51 rotates around the rotation shaft 52 in an upright direction (a direction away from the adhesive tape 5 and the opening 11G), and is in an open position as shown in FIGS. It reaches. As a result, the operator can pull up the portion of the adhesive tape 5 that was below the opening member 51 in the closed position and pull it out toward the tape cutting blade 12, and fully pull out the adhesive tape 5. The cutting operation by the tape cutting blade 12 is performed.

  When the tape cutting operation is performed in this way, the operator's hand hits the proximal half 43B of the operation lever 43 and the operation lever 43 is rotated in the clockwise direction of FIG. When the operation lever 43 is pushed upward by the push-up portion 45 provided at the tip half portion 43A of the operation lever 43 and rotates until the operation lever 43 hits the buffer member 46, the highest reach point is reached once. When the elevating member 20 reaches the highest point in this way, the closing member 21 rotates slightly beyond the closed position shown in FIG. 7 toward the adhesive tape 5, and the stamp 53 fixed to the closing member 21. The printing portion 53 </ b> A is pressed against the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5. In this case, the printing portion 23A of the stamp 23 fixed to the elevating member 20 is also pressed against the lower surface of the adhesive tape 5 disposed between the fixing portions 11H and 11I at a position aligned below the stamp 53. Eventually, the adhesive tape 5 is sandwiched between the stamp 53 and the stamp 23 from above and below. As a result, the stamp 53 and the stamp 23 each support the other from the side opposite to the printing direction, and thus function as a pedestal for the other. Further, the printing portion of the adhesive tape 5 is firmly fixed from above and below by the stamp 53 and the stamp 23, and the adhesive tape 5 is prevented from moving during printing. Therefore, printing with the stamp 53 and the stamp 23 can be performed appropriately.

  When the cutting operation is finished and the operator's hand is separated from the operation lever 43, the lifting member 20 is slightly lowered to the support point at the upper position by the positioning mechanism 30 by the spring force of the tension spring 33, as shown in FIG. Return to the initial state as shown. Accordingly, the rotation of the closing member 51 is pulled back from the position when the stamp 53 is engraved on the adhesive tape 5 to the closed position which is the initial state, so that the stamp 53 is pressed against the upper surface of the adhesive tape 5. To the position appropriately retracted upward. Therefore, the stamp 53 is appropriately prevented from being pressed against the adhesive tape 5.

  As described above, according to the tape cutting interlocking mechanism 50 of the present embodiment, the opening / closing member 51 is disposed above the contact tape 5, and the opening / closing member 51 is provided with the stamp 53. Printing can be performed from Further, by providing the lower stamp 23 (or the lower pressing member) at the same time, the contact tape 5 can be clamped from the upper and lower sides during printing, so that the stamp 23 and the stamp 53 are mutually connected with the other printing. Therefore, it can function as a pedestal and can perform appropriate printing.

  In the above embodiments, the tape cutting interlocking mechanisms 10 and 50 used in the tape cutting device 1 for cutting the adhesive tape 5 have been described as examples. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, a tape cutting interlocking mechanism used in a tape cutting device for cutting a tape (for example, a ribbon) other than an adhesive tape naturally belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.
