Description

Index label bonding machine

This creation relates to a processing machine for stationery, and more particularly to an index label bonding machine for joining an index label to the edge of a document sleeve or divider.

According to the index label currently used to help the user quickly identify the required data location, the index label is adhered to the inner page, and the index label is not sticky. Exposed to the outside of the edge of the page. However, the material of the index label is thin, so that the exposed portion outside the edge of the inner page is often deformed or curled, which affects the user's quick recognition effect. Moreover, the index label is only attached to the inner page instead of being fixed on the inner page, so the accidental collision or pulling often causes the index label to fall off, resulting in inconvenience in use.

To this end, please refer to FIG. 1 , a conventional file sleeve 9 which extends a flap 92 at an appropriate position on the edge of a set of bodies 91 and folds the flap 92 so that the flap 92 is originally The free end can be placed against the sleeve 91 and heat-pressed to form an index sleeve 93 for inserting a label card C. Accordingly, the conventional file sleeve 9 can be interpolated by the index sleeve 93 of the double-layer structure, so that the index sleeve 93 protruding at the edge of the sleeve body 91 has better structural strength, thereby It is not easy to deform or curl. In addition, the index sleeve 93 is integrally bonded to the sleeve body 91 by thermocompression bonding, and is less likely to fall off and separate.

However, since the fin 92 of the conventional document sleeve 9 is formed by extending an edge of the sleeve 91, the material, color, transmittance and the like of the flap 92 are the same as the sleeve 91, so that The sleeve 91 of the sleeve 91 and the index sleeve 93 are made of an automatic device; Moreover, it is not possible to make a plurality of document sleeves 9 of different colors in the index sleeve 93 by using an automated device.

According to the foregoing structure, please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 , the mold base 22 is located at an initial position, and the strip sleeve S2 is controlled by the plurality of second rollers 13 and input into the cutting module 2 to make the strip shape The sleeve S2 extends through the gap 221 of the die holder 22. The open end of the strip sleeve S2 faces in a direction away from the rotating carrier 33.

Referring to Figures 4 and 6, the mold base 22 is continuously controlled to slide relative to the slide rail 21, so that the cutter 23 can be moved to a cutting position, and then the cutter 23 is controlled to be positioned on the belt sleeve S2. The portion of the gap 221 is cut to cut one index label T from the strip sleeve S2.

Referring to Figures 4 and 7, the index label T separated from the strip sleeve S2 will be attracted by the plurality of air holes 332 of the rotating carrier 33 and moved into the corresponding elongated slots 331. At the same time, the die holder 22 is translated back to its initial position so as not to interfere with the smoothness of the index tag T when it is subsequently rotated by the rotating carrier 33.

Referring to Figures 4, 8, and 9, the rotary carrier 33 is actuated in a stepwise rotation to move the index label T to a position coplanar with the strip substrate S1 (as shown in Fig. 8). The support base 32 is controlled to slide relative to the slide rail 31, and the rotary carrier 33 is brought closer to the strip-shaped substrate S1 (as shown in FIG. 9). The index tabs T located in the elongated slots 331 can be opened by the plurality of air holes 332 by opening, respectively, on the opposite surfaces of the elongated slots 331. V-shaped. According to this, the index label T is oriented to the strip When the substrate S1 is adjacent, the edge of the strip substrate S1 can be relatively extended into the index tag T, and the bonding module 4 is actuated, and the index tag T is fixed to the band by the adapter 42. Substrate S1.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 10, after the index label T is fixed to the strip substrate S1, the strip substrate S1 is guided toward the output end 1b, and processed by a subsequent step such as cutting. A product identical or similar to that shown in Fig. 10 is formed. The product may be a file sleeve or a separator sheet, and the edge of the substrate B is attached with an index label T, and the material, color or transmittance of the index label T may be different from the substrate B, and the index label T can also be inserted into a tag card.

In addition, please refer to Figures 3 and 10, in order to improve the convenience of inserting or withdrawing the label card, or to design the index label T to be printed with numerals, characters or patterns, etc., this embodiment can also be used in the machine 1 A punching module 5 and a marking printing module 6 are additionally provided.
