In addition, in front of the click member 46, a ground pressing piece 74 made of a leaf spring is attached to the base 33.

The operation of the present invention will be described. First, the winding cassette 1 is set in the printer 3 as shown in FIG. 9 to print. Although this printer 3 does not select a model especially, a thermal printer etc. are suitable, for example. The printer 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 75 which is connected to a drive source and rotates in synchronism with the feeding of the printed label continuum 4, and the gear 76 of one end thereof has a gear 11 of the cassette 1. It is configured to interlock with. Thus, for printing, the rotating body 8 of the cassette 1 stands up like the dashed line in FIG. 9, and then the front end of the label continuous body 4 is pulled out of the printer 3, and the slit 9 of the winding core 8 is printed. After inserting and sandwiching the film, the print is star art and printed on the predetermined number of labels 6. At that time, the winding core 8 is rotated through the rotating shaft 75 and the gears 76 and 11 in synchronism with the feeding of the label continuous body 4 to wind the label continuous body 4.

After printing, the label continuous body 4 is cut and the cassette 1 is removed from the printer 3. Subsequently, the tip of the cut label continuous body 4 is pulled out, the label 6 of the purchase is peeled off, and as shown in FIG. 3, only the earth 5 is reversed from all of the turning pins 16, and the tip of the label continuous body 4 is pressed. ) And the water plate 21. That is, by pushing the handle piece 24 with the fingertips, while moving the entire pressing member 20 upward, the earth 5 is inserted between the pressing portion 22 and the water plate 21, and then the fingertips are released. Is lowered by the action force of the spring 26, the pressing portion 22 presses the earth (5) with the water plate 21, and the needle (23) sticks the earth (5) to the earth (5) To be fixed. Thus, the upright rotating body 12 is rotated to its original position as shown in FIG. 3 so that the label pressing portion 13 is brought into contact with the label continuous body 4.

Next, the fitting portion 31 of the cassette 1 is stored in the storage portion 34 while engaging the engaging convex portion 30 at the tip of the cassette 1 with the engaging recess 37 of the sticking machine 2. In that case, the step portion 77 formed below the display label storage portion 32 of the cassette 1 is placed on the mounting portion 35 of the sticking machine 2 and is automatically locked by the locking mechanism 67. . That is, when the cassette 1 is inserted, the engagement portion 73 descends while rotating the lock member 69 counterclockwise while supporting the action force of the spring 68, but the engagement portion 73 is locked by the lock member 69. When riding over the lower end 71 of the c), the lock member 69 returns to its original position by the action of the spring 68, and the lower end 71 is locked to the engaging portion 73 (Fig. 10). , B).

Thus, when the hand lever 41 is gripped, the holding frame 47 moves horizontally to the rear along the guide groove 57 through the first, second, and third links 48, 49, and 50 (Fig. 11A). ). At the time of the movement, the transfer click 45 of the click member 46 engages with the cutout portion 78 (FIG. 8) which is laid at regular intervals on the ground 5 to convey the ground 5 and at the same time push up the lifting plate. (60) is also moved to push up the engagement tongue (25) of the pressing member (20), and as a result, the earth pressing by the pressing portion (22) and the needle (23) of the pressing member (20) is released. ) Is smoothly transported to the rear and released to the outside. Further, when the hand lever 41 is gripped, the lifting plate 60 retreats as shown in the twelfth (a) and the twelfth (b), so that the engagement between the lower surface of the lifting plate 60 and the support member 62 is released. Therefore, the pressing member 20 descends while pushing down the lifting plate 60 counterclockwise by the action force of the spring 26 and returns to its original position, and the pressing member 22 and the needle 23 are supported again by the pressing member 22 and the needle 23. Fix (5).

On the other hand, since the label continuum 4 is horizontally restricted by the label presser 13 in the turning pin 16 of the whole body during the land transfer, only the land 5 is reversed at a sharp angle and the label 6 Is advanced while being separated from the board 5, and is discharged from the label outlet 32 to the lower side of the sticking roller 39.

The sticking of the label 6 to the article is carried out by rubbing the lower surface (adhesive surface) of the label 6 below the sticking roller 39 like the normal hand labeler against the article. It is attached by action. Subsequently, when the hand lever 41 is released, the hand lever 41 returns to its original position by the action of the return spring 43, and at the same time, the holding frame 47 is also advanced through the first to third links 48 to 50. 10 (a) also returns to the state of FIG. 10 (b). At this advance, the lower surface portion 79 (Fig. 12A) of the pushing up plate 60 comes into contact with the support member 62, but the action force side of the spring 26 pushing down the pushing up plate 60 is reduced. Since the supporting force of the spring 64 and 65 is greater than the acting force between the springs 64 and 65, the support member 62 is rotated counterclockwise, so that the lifting plate 60 does not push up the engagement tongue 25. The lower surface of the tongue piece 25 is slid to move forward. As a result, since the earth 5 remains fixed by the pressing member 20, it is not returned to the front by the advancement of the click member 46. As shown in FIG. Accordingly, the click member 46 rotates in the clockwise direction while the conveying click 45 is pulled out of the cutout portion 78 of the earth 5 and is supported by the spring 59 to slide the bottom surface of the earth 5 while the tenth clicks. It returns to the original position of (a) degree, and engages again with the cutout part 78 of an earth there.

Next, to remove the take-up cassette 1 from the sticking machine 2, push the button 70, which is attached and detached as shown in FIG. 13, and the lock portion 69 rotates counterclockwise, and the lower corner portion thereof is rotated. ) 71 is removed from the engaging portion 73 of the cassette 1 and at the same time to the spring action of the earth pressing piece 74, which is pressing the lower surface of the earth (5) in the whole land guide groove (15) As a result, the rear part of the cassette 1 slightly floats and can be easily removed with one touch.

As described above, the present invention comprises a winding cassette for winding a label continuous body printed in a printer and a two winding cassette, which are freely attached and detached, and are attached to the article by peeling the label from the earth by manual operation.

(1) The printing is performed with a desk printer, which is more accurate and clear than the printing of the hand labeler. Especially, the check digit can be automatically calculated and printed in the bar code.
