TAPE STORAGE AND DISPENSING MAGAZINE Filed Sept. 11 1961 INVENTOR. J 4 9 I RALPH E. IVORVELLE BY WWW United States Patent 3,129,813 TAPE STORAGE AND DISPENSING MAGAZINE Ralph E. Norvelle, Pleasant Hill, Califi, assignor to Dashew Business Machines, Inc., Los Angeles, Calif., a corporation of Delaware Filed Sept. 11, 1961, Ser. No. 137,172 Claims. (Cl. 20652) My invention relates to storage and dispensing magazines and more particularly to a storage and dispensing magazine for the handling of tape such as plastic or metal tape for use in tape embossing machines.
Among the objects of my invention are:
(1) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine;
(2) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine in which resistance to withdrawl of tape is minimized; v V
(3) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine to preclude jamming of a roll of tape during dispensing thereof from the magazine;
(4) To provide a novel and improved tape storage anddispensing magazine which provides means for removably anchoring the externally exposed end of an enclosed roll of tape during shipment and storage;
(5) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine which may be readily fabricated of plastic or like material;
(6) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine in which a roll of tape may be sealed with one end exposed and removably anchored until put into use;
(7) To provide a novel and improved tape storage and dispensing magazine which occupies a minimum of space and has features to facilitate efiicient packagin and shipment of the same;
(8) To provide a novel and improved loaded tape storage and dispensing magazine; and
(9) To provide a novel and improved method of fabricating a tape storage and dispensing magazine.
Additional objects of my invention will be brought out in the following description of a preferred embodiment of the same, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein FIGURE 1 is a generalized view of a manual operated embossing machine and depicting the relationship of the magazine of the present invention thereto;
FIGURE 2 is a view in side elevation of the magazine, loaded and ready for shipment or use;
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary view in section through the dispensing portion of the loaded magazine, and depicting the provisions for attachment thereto of a feeding guide, which might be desirable, although not essential with certain embossing machines;

of the body for relative swinging movement toward and away from the elongated body. A coil spring 5 interposed betWeen the body and the lever, serves to resiliently bias the lever to its normal position away from the body of the machine.
In offset relationship to the plane of the body and lever are rotatably mountedcomplementary die rings 7, 9 containing the letters of the alphabet and any other desired symbols, the radius of the die rings being such as to cause such letters to intersect the plane of the body and lever in response to rotational movement of FIGURE 4 is an edge view in elevation of the magasuch die rings.
At the remote or tail end of the body is a tape magazine 11 from which tape may be dispensed to the machine and fed between the die rings by finger manipulated feeder means 13 located in the body between the tape magazine and the die rings. By squeezing the lever toward the body of the machine, that portion of the tape between the die rings will be embossed with that letter which at that moment lies in the plane of the body and lever. By manually adjusting the die rings, any desired letters may be brought into embossing position to emboss Whatever information one may desire upon the tape.
Such, in general, is the type of machine to which the present invention specifically relates, although the invention has broader applications and is not limited in its use to such machine.
The magazine 11 comprises a pair of substantially planar side walls, 17, 19 maintained in spaced substantially parallel relationship by edge wall'connecting means in the form of a series of joining Walls 21, 23 33, each angularly related to proximate Walls of the series and forming an incompletely closed polygon, leaving edges 35, 37 of the end walls of the series exposed to define an opening 39 through which tape may be dis pensed from within the magazine.
A roll of tape 41, whether it be of plastic or metal, if allowed full freedom, will act in the nature of a coiled spring and tend to expand radially. If such a roll of tape be freely disposed within the magazine, it will accordingly expand into contact with the series of joining walls, and in this state, it will be noted, that due to the polygonal contour of the magazine, the contacts between the roll of tape and the joining walls will be essentially line contacts. Such limited contacts reduce the frictional resistance to the withdrawal of tape from the magazine to a minimal, and thereby facilitate the feeding of such tape through a machine when applied thereto,
As the quantity of tape in the magazine is gradually reduced through use of the machine, and the resistance of the roll to distortion likewise is decreased, continued consumption of tape from the roll is apt to cause the roll to be lifted toward the dispensing opening in the magazine and jam between converging walls, and thereby considerably resist further withdrawal of tape. This may be avoided in the magazine of the present invention by providing a tongue 45 extending inwardly into the magazine from the free edge 37 of the end Wall 33 of the series of joining Walls, and directed toward the other end wall 21 of the series. Such tongue is preferably arched, terminating with an intermediate point of the arch in close proximity to the-end wall 21, to provide the additional function of a guide for the tape being dispensed from the magazine.
In preparing a loaded magazine for shipment and for use, I prefer to package the same with the lead end 47 of the roll withdrawn from the magazine and removably anchored, so as to be readily accessible without the necessity of first gaining access to the interior of the magazine.
For this purpose, I provide a slot 49 in the series of joining walls, and of suflioient width to receive the free end of the tape which is threaded through the slot to the interior of the magazine, where it will be frictionally gripped between the roll of tape and the interior surface of the joining walls. Preferably, the slot should be at the junction of two of the joining walls, as this will facilitate the threading of the tape therethrough due to the spacing of such junction from the roll of tape within.
The tape when thus anchored, forms an external are 51 which facilitates the grasping of the exposed end of the roll when it is desired to utilize the tape in an embossing machine.
Further, such arcuate section of tape acts as a resilient buifer, in the packaging of a number of magazines in a container or carton for shipping purposes, thereby offering protection against damage, which might otherwise occur to such magazines from the time they are packaged to the time they are removed for use.
The magazine is preferably molded of plastic, in two component parts, one of which involves the one side wall 17, the series of joining walls 21 33, and the tongue 45 as an integral unit, with integrally formed plastic pins 55 extending from the free edge of the series of joining Walls, at spaced points therealong, preferably at the junctions of such Walls. The reentry slot 49, when provided for, may be formed by omitting one of the junctions between adjacent walls of the series.
The remaining side wall 19 which performs the function of a cover wall, is separately molded with pin openings 57 correspondingly distributed thereabouts, to match up with the plastic pins when the cover wall is assembled against the free edge of the series of joining walls, thus permitting the plastic pins to protrude through these pin holes, following which the application of a heat and pressure plate to the protruding pins will reduce the same and cause them to spread out and lock the cover wall'to the joining walls in a permanent assembly.
This last step of applying the cover Wall follows the free disposal of a roll of tape 41 into the first component, with the free end 47 of the roll Withdrawn therefrom between the tongue 45 and the adjacent joining wall 21. Ihe end of the tape thus withdrawn, may then be inserted through the slot 49 or await the final application of the cover wall to complete the magazine.
When the magazine is to be utilized with an embossing machine of the type illustrated in FIGURE 1, the magazine will be removably secured to the end of the body 1 of the machine by a bolt 61 and damping nut 63, and for this purpose, a side wall extension or ear 65 will be molded as an integral part of the cover Wall 19 and formed with a reinforced bolt notch 67.
With some of the embossing machines of the type depicted in FIGURE 1, threading of the tape to the feeding mechanism may be facilitated were the magazine provided with a snout 69 adapted to fit within the portion of the body of the machine leading to the feed mechanism 13. To accommodate the magazine of the present invention to the use of such a snout, the end wall 21 of the series of joining walls, is preferably made somewhat longer than the other joining walls, and inwardly directed from each side Wall 17 and 19, adjacent the mouth of the exit opening 39 of the magazine, is a short rib T1, 73 respectively, located in parallel spaced relationshipto such end wall, and in conjunction with such end Wall, providing means for receiving one end of such snout 69 and supporting the same in alignment With tape emerging from the magazine.
To stabilize the extended end wall 21 of the series for use in supporting such a snout 69, such end wall is provided with a heat-pressure fusable plastic pin 75 or equivalent along the edge thereof adjacent the free end of the wall, while the cover wall 19 is formed with a corresponding pin opening 77, such latter pin 75 being fused in the same manner as the others, in the application of the cover wall to complete the magazine.
While -I have disclosed the cover wall as being irremovably sealed to the joining walls, this is my preferred arrangement, in that it precludes tampering with the contents of the magazine, once the contents have been freely disposed therein and sealed in the magazine. However, it will be apparent that the cover wall may be removably secured to the main portion of the magazine in any suitable manner as by a hinge and clasp arrangement or the like.
The plastic from which the magazine is fabricated may be clear plastic to visually present prevailing conditions within the magazine. However, oqaque plastic or other suitable materials may be utilized, in which case, the exposed anchored end of the tape will serve to indicate the color of the tape within.
From the foregoing description of my invention in its preferred form, it will be apparent that the same has fulfilled all the objects attributed to my invention, and while I have illustrated and described the same in considerable detail, I do not desire to be limited in my protection to the specific details illustrated and described, except as may be necessitated by the appended claims.
