Definitions
- the feed stroke of a hand lever withdraws a print carriage from a platen, swings an ink pad against type on the carriage, and drives a pawl feeding element over a ratchet to feed the strip through a full stroke and discharge a previously-printed label. Printing out of register by an incomplete stroke and release of the lever is prevented by the pawl and ratchet. Release of the hand lever Withdraws the ink pad, prints a label on the platen, and returns the feeding element to a starting position.
- the improved label printer is intended primarily for use with a two-ply label stock strip, having a gummed label ply and a backing ply for covering the gumrned sur face until the individual label is printed and ready for dispensing. It is a further object of the invention to provide a label printer with a compact mechanism for printing labels serially while simultaneously breaking away the backing ply from previously-printed labels. Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following detailed description proceeds.
- the improved apparatus includes a housing having a pivotal hand lever and containing a print carriage bearing a type font; the print carriage is pivotally connected to the hand lever for reciprocation by the stroke of the latter, for printing successive labels on a platen surface.
- Intermittent forward feeding of the label stock strip is performed by means of a pawl or feeding element which is pivotally mounted in the lever for sliding movement on a ratchet or cam element mounted in the housing.
- the printing platen surface and the guide surface are formed on opposite sides of a jaw which has a sharply rounded edge joining these surfaces.
- the backing strip is given a reverse band about this edge, so that the printed label strip breaks away and feeds forwardly to a discharge station, from which it can be directly applied to a desired article without manual handling.
- the backing strip passes from the tip over the guide surface in a reverse direction, and is there engaged by the pawl or feeding element, to draw the stock forwardly over the printing platen surface on the feed stroke of the lever.
- an ink pad is mounted in the hand lever in a position to strike the type font at the conclusion of the feed stroke, while the font is withdrawn from the platen surface. Movement of the lever through the printing stroke clears the path of the print carriage to the platen. Self-inking action is thus secured without the addition of any further moving parts.
- FIG. 1 is a view in side elevation of the improved apparatus
- FIG. 2 is a view in front elevation
- FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectiona1 view in side elevation, showing the positions of the parts at the conclusion of a printing stroke
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but showing the positions of the parts at the conclusion of a feed stroke
- FIG. 6 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view on an enlarged scale, showing a feeding element at the commencement of a feed stroke
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line 7-7 in FIG. 6, looking in the direction of the arrows;
- FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 6, but showing the feeding element as it approaches the end of the feed stroke.
- FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line 9-9 in FIG. 8, looking in the direction of the arrows.
- the apparatus includes a housing 10, having a shell 12 hinged thereon by a pin 14 near the top, and having a hand grip surface 16 near the bottom.
- a hand lever 18 is pivotally mounted in the shell by means of a pin 20. All of the operations of the apparatus are performed by squeezing this lever from a rest position, shown in dotted lines at 18', to a depressed position 18, and then releasing the lever, which is returned to the rest position by a hair-pin spring 22 (FIGS. 4 and 5). Feeding of the label stock is performed by the squeezing action, and printing occurs at the conclusion of the return stroke.
- a roll 24 of label stock strip is carried in the upper portion of the housing by a spool 26, which is rotatably mounted in mating cut-outs 28 in the shell and housing.
- the stock strip has two plies, including a backing strip 30 which emerges as Waste material at one end of the bottom surface, and a gummed label strip 32 which is dispensed near the opposite corner.
- the backing strip serves to protect, the gum during the printing operation; and after separation from the label strip, is also used to feed the composite stock strip forwardly.
- the assembly is normally held in a closed position by a cover 34 which is hinged on a roller axle 38 in upstanding ears 36 (FIGS. 4 and formed in the shell 12.
- a dispensing roller 40 is mounted on the axle by means of a bushing 42, to position the printed labels for direct attachment to a desired article without handling.
- the cover 34 is formed with keyhole openings 44 to permit opening of the housing, and is normally retained in position by a detent ball 46.
- the housing is formed at its lower end with a transversely extending jaw 48, having an upper platen surface 49 formed by a cushion 50 of resilient plastic e.g. Teflon or other material, and a lower guide surface 52. These surfaces are joined by a sharply rounded edge 54.
- the twoply stock strip is guided from the spool 2.6 onto the platen surface by a transverse member 56. After the label strip is printed, the two plies are separated by bending the backing strip 30 in a reverse direction about the edge 54, causing the label strip to break away.
- the backing strip passes outwardly through a discharge slot 58, formed between the cover 34 and a transverse bar 60 aifixed therein.
- the label strip continues in its forward path and passes out of the apparatus between the cars 36 and over the dispensing roller 40. Pressing the dispensing roller against an article would aifix the leading edge of the protruding label, after which a movement of the apparatus to the right would separate an individual label from the strip and roll it into position on the article.
- the label strip is preferably severed into individual labels.
- a label resting on the platen surface 49 is impressed by type faces 74, borne by two or more flexible belts 66 for printing selected price information, and by a type slug 68 for printing a standard legend, such as the store name.
- type faces 74 borne by two or more flexible belts 66 for printing selected price information
- type slug 68 for printing a standard legend, such as the store name.
- These elements are supported in a print carriage 72, the slug being mounted in a clip 70.
- Each type band has a series of faces 74 separated by indentations 76.
- the required number of bands are mounted in laterally-spaced relation, each on an individual pair of square tubular bushings including a lower bushing 78 and an upper bushing 79.
- the square form of the bushings serves to advance each type face through a complete step as the bushings are turned, thereby to bring the faces into parallel registration with the platen surface; a corresponding face also comes to rest in parallel relation on the upper bushings. It is preferred that these opposed parallel faces bear duplicate characters, so that the particular type set at the lower bushings will be visibly indicated at the upper bushings 79, through window openings 80 in the side of the shell 12.
- the lower bushings are freely rotatable upon shafts 82, while the upper bushings are rotatable upon hollow shafts 84.
- Each of the latter shafts has a longitudinal slot into which a bit 86 of a price-set key 88 is longitudinally slidable, and engageable in any of four corresponding recesses in any one of the upper bushings, which recesses may comprise the interior corners of said bushings, for resetting an associated type band.
- the corresponding price-set key is simply pushed or pulled until its bit engages in the appropriate upper bushing, after which a rotation of the key alters the type setting.
- the print carriage 72 is reciprocated by the stroke of the hand lever 18 between the printing position shown in FIG. 4, and a withdrawn position shown in FIG. 5; the carriage is guided in this motion by a pin 90 carried by the hand lever in slots 92, and a guide pin 94 fixed in the carriage.
- the guide pin is slidable in a pair of opposed slots 95 (FIG. 4, one only is shown) formed in a pair of parallel carriage guide arms 96, which comprise trans verse extensions supporting the channel member 56, and lie against the sidewalls of the shell 12.
- the withdrawn position is defined by the abutment of the guide pin 94 with a pair of upstanding flanges 98 formed in the portion 16 of the housing.
- Resilient driving connection between the hand lever 18 and the print carriage 72 is provided by extending a pin into a pair of elongated slots 100 in the walls of the print carriage, and through transverse slots 92 in the lever.
- a pin into a pair of elongated slots 100 in the walls of the print carriage, and through transverse slots 92 in the lever.
- Inking of the type faces in performed automatically through operation of the hand lever, by means of an ink pad 104, which is carried in an ink pad holder 106 at the lower end of the lever, and positioned to strike the pre-set type faces at the conclusion of the feed stroke, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the print carriage is spaced sufficiently far from the jaw 48 in its withdrawn position to permit interpositioning of the ink pad. Terminal motion of the hand lever closes the clearance between pad 104 and the type face.
- a label-feeding or pawl element 110 is pivoted on a pin 112 in a pair of.
- the pawl element is formed with a slide 119, which is extended into a pair of flexible inclined guide fingers 116.
- the slide has a plurality of struck-up tangs 118. These tangs are slidable in grooves recessed into the guide surface 52 of the jaw, being received through perforations 122 which are pre-punched in the backing strip 30 as shown in FIG. 3.
- the pawl element thus grips the backing strip to carry it forwardly during the feeding stroke of the hand lever.
- Pivotal displacement of the pawl element into the strip-engaging position is obtained during the feed stroke by means of a cam track or ratchet element 124, which cooperate with the guide fingers 116.
- the ratchet element is formed in the cover 34 and has a generally H-shaped cross-section, of which one leg comprises a series of inclined ratchet teeth 126.
- a web portion 128 and the remaining leg 130 provide a channelfor a return movement of the fingers, out of engagement with the guide surface and the strip, to secure a one-way feeding action.
- the leg 130 is planar throughout the channel, but terminates at the end shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 in up-turned cam flanges 132. In the rest position of the hand lever, the flanges 132 pivotally displace the pawl element to align the flexible fingers 116 with the ratchet teeth 126.
- the ratchet teeth engage and deflect the fingers as shown in FIG. 9, biasing the slide 119 against the guide surface, and forcing the tangs 118 to enter the grooves 120 through the backing strip. This engagement continues to the end of the feed stroke. If the hand lever is released before the feed stroke is completed, the ratchet teeth lock the lever against a return movement, and so prevent the printing of a label which is not yet registered with the platen surface.
- pawl element 110 is withdrawn through the channel between the ratchet teeth and the leg 130, to the starting position shown in FIG. 6.
- an antireverse pin 134 (FIGS. 4 and 9), is mounted in the jaw 48 to engage in perforations 122. This pin has an inclined tip to allow the strip to pass only in a forward direction.
