Definitions
- the tape 35 passes a first guide 36 in the handle 23 which is integral with the tool body 10, and then a second guide 43 in the pivotal handle 24,
- the second guide has a spring biased feeding knife 50 resting at an oblique angle against the tape.
- T his invention relates to manual tooks for embossing characters such as letters, numerals and other symbols on a plastic tape.
- Such tools have an embossing wheel formed by two interconnected die discs, which are provided with a circular row of pairs of female and male die elements. The embossing wheel is rotated to position any selected pair of die elements on opposite sides of the tape at an embossing station. By means of a pair of handles, the selected pair of dies is then pressed together against the tape so as to emboss on the tape the desired letter or number.
- the tape After each embossing operation the tape is fed forwardly a predetermined step by means of a feeding mechanism in response to the release of the handles after they have been actuated for effecting the embossing.
- the feeding mechanism includes cog-wheels, lock members such as pawls and feeding rolls of rubber.
- the tape is fed between a pair of feeding rolls.
- the tape has a smooth and relatively hard surface which may result in that the rolls slip on the tape so that the space between the letters embossed on the tape may vary.
- the feeding step is intended to be constant and, accordingly, if an embossing wheel having letters of a smaller size is replaced by a wheel having letters of a greater size, results in that the larger letters will come closer or too close to each other on the tape.
- the general object of the invention is, therefore, to provide an embossing tool having a considerably simplified feeding mechanism which still will give a more accurate feeding step and which enables in a simple manner an adjustment of the feeding step to any desired value within a predetermined range for various embossing wheels having characters of different sizes.
- Another object is to provide an embossing tool which will permit in a simple manner the disengagement of the feeding mechanism to permit retraction of the tape.
- Another object is to provide an embossing tool enabling so called proportional writing, that is writing with substantially equal space between all letters and numerals including the letter I.
- a further object is to provide means for enabling an inspection of the character most recently embossed.
- a still further object is to provide means for enabling a simple replacement of a cutting die.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section on line 11 of the embossing tool shown in FIG. 2 with the two handles in their fully released position.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the embossing tool.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-section on line 33 in FIG. 1, the die discs being omitted.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 1 with the handles in their fully squeezed position.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 4 with with the die discs in a position to permit the pivotal handle to pass its fully squeezed position in order to release the feeding mechanism from its engagement with the tape.
- FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the upper die disc illustrating mounting and removal, respectively, of a cutting die provided with a cutting knife;
- FIG. 7 is a section on line 77 in FIG. 6.
- FIG. 8 is a detail view of the to die discs and the radial fingers of the lower die disc, the radial finger provided with the die element for the letter I having a greater axial thickness than the other fingers.
- numeral 10 generally indicates a hollow tool body of metal or plastic, having two spaced side walls 11, 12 and a front wall .13. Integral with the side wall 12 is a bracket plate 14. Integral with the side wall 12 is a bracket plate 14. A cover plate 15 secured by screws 16 on top of the tool body forms with the bracket plate a space 17 (FIG. 3) for receiving two interconnected die discs 18, 19 rotatably mounted on a bolt 20 extending through the cover plate and screwed to the bracket plate, The discs 18, 19 fit closely between the plates.
- the cover plate 15 leaves a circumferential portion of the upper disc 18 uncovered to expose a circular row 21 of characters provided on the upper face of the disc 18 and passing an indexing recess 22 in the outer end of the plate 15.
- a lower handle 23 is rigidly secured to or, as shown, is formed integral with the tool body.
- An upper handle 24 extends into the tool body between its side walls 11, 12 and is pivotally mounted on a pin 25 secured in the walls 11, 12.
- the handle 24 is formed with a jaw 26 provided with a projection or tooth 27 which when the handles 23, 24 are squeezed will engage the lower disc 19 at an embossing station 28 located just ahead of a rectangular viewing window 29 formed in the cover plate 15.
- the lower disc 19 is provided with a plurality of radial slits 30 to form radial fingers 31 supporting each a male die element.
- the male die elements are located along a circle, and a corresponding circular row of female die elements is formed in the underside of the upper disc 18 in a manner known per se.
- a tape roll magazine is formed between the side walls 11, 12 and a flexible arm 33. This arm supports the tape roll 34 and is secured to the front wall 13.
- the plastic tape 35 is passed through a first guide 36 in the form of a small block 37 secured to the tool body and provided with two parallel channels 38, 39, one for a narrow tape and one for a wider tape.
- the tape shown is passed through the narrow channel 38 and is pressed by a brake member against a slide surface 39 formed at the upper end of the block.
- the brake member may simply be a leaf spring 40 secured to the block and having its free end 41 located to press the tape against the sliding surface in order to effect a predetermined braking action against movement in either direction.
- the tape passes freely at a certain length 42 of its path up to a second guide 43 formed in the pivotal handle 24.
- the second guide 43 is a groove having a parabolic extension with a lower end portion or inlet portion 44 formed substantially by a circular are having its centre at the pivot pin 25.
- the curved path of the groove will thereafter have an increasing radius of curvature and the upper end portion or outlet portion 45 of the groove will be directed towards the embossing station 28 and pass between the discs 18, 19 in a tangential direction relative to the discs.
- the tape 35 Before reaching the embossing station 28 the tape 35 will be guided by a flexible guide plate 46 secured to the handle 24 and by two flexible guide plates 47, 48 secured to the tool body. At the embossing station 28 the tape is guided to form a bend 49 upwardly to be placed close to the respective female die element of the upper die disc 18, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the profile of the second guide groove 43 has along the inlet portion 44 a smooth bottom surface for tapes of various widths, and about at the middle between the ends of the groove 43 it will start to have a stepped cross-section as indicated in FIG. 3, to provide for two dilferent guides, one for narrow tapes 35 as shown in FIG. 3, and the other for wider tapes.
- a spring biased member having a metal member with a sharp knife edge provided to resiliently rest against the tape at an oblique angle.
- this member is a leaf spring 50 secured with one end 51 in a block 52 which by means of two pins 52a, 52b (FIG. 3) is secured to the pivotal handle 24.
- the leaf spring or feeding knife 50 extends obliquely upwardly in FIG. 1, and its free end has a sharp knife edge 53 and forms an acute angle with the inlet portion 44 of the guide groove 43. This angle may be preferably of the order of 45
- the block 52 is formed with a small nose 54 to protect the tape from the knife edge 53 in the position shown in FIG. 5.
- the jaw tooth 27 may move into direct contact with the tape as shown in FIG. 4, when the gap 55 is placed at the embossing station.
- the knife spring 50 will then abut against a stop member 56 and be resiliently bent towards the block so that the knife edge 53 will be located under the nose 54 and thus prevented from engaging the tape 35. In this position the tape 35 is free to be retracted, for instance for replacement of the tape.
- the stop member 56 in the drawing is in the form of a U-member secured to the block 37 (FIG. 3).
- the die discs 18, 19 shown are replaced by another pair of discs having die elements of the desired greater size.
- the radial fingers of the lower die disc will have a smaller axial thickness than the radial fingers 31 having the smaller die elements. Accordingly, the thinner radial fingers will permit a longer stroke of the pivotal handle 24 when squeezed for embossing, and the feeding step will thus be correspondingly longer to provide a proper space between the larger characters embossed on the tape.
- This feature of the invention accordingly permits an esthetically satisfactory embossing of characters of two or more different sizes with one and the same tool.
- the principles of the feeding mechanism according to the invention may also be utilized for obtaining a proper space between the letter I and adjacent letters.
- the space between the letter I and adjacent letters will be unesthetically greater than the space between the other letters embossed on the tape.
- the radial finger 31 supporting the die for the letter I should have a somewhat greater thickness than the other radial fingers, as indicated in FIG. 8. The letter I on the radical finger is then displaced to a position somewhat nearer one of the side edges of the finger 31 then to the other as indicated in FIG. 8.
- the upper die disc 18 is provided with a rectangular viewing window 57 of the same size and radial position as the window 29 in the cover plate 15.
- the window 57 may be positioned below the window 29, and thus the registering windows 29, 57 will permit inspection of the most recently embossed character on the tape appearing in the windows as illustrated in FIG. 6, where the letter A is the most recently embossed character which is seen in the windows, whereas the next character to be embossed is H indicated by dotted lines on the tape and positioned at the embossing station.
- An index 58 at the window 29 will facilitate the selection of proper free end portions of a label.
- One of the female dies of the upper disc 18 may be replaced by a cutting-die, cooperating with a radial finger having a smooth surface.
- This cutting-die is in the form of a channel member 59 formed at least one sharp cutting edge 59 and/or 60, as shown in FIG. 6.
- a corresponding aperture 61 is provided in the disc for receiving the channel member.
- a rib 62 divides this aperture into two slots as shown in FIG. 7.
- the side walls of the channel members are clamped in the slots as indicated in FIG. 7 by dotted lines, and the upper portion of the channel member will be flush with the upper surface of the die disc 18, so that the cutting-die may pass freely under the cover plate 15.
- the cover plate 15 will form a, back member against which the radial arms with their embossing dies or the cuttingdie, respectively, will press the tape against the upper disc 18 resting against the cover plate.
- the two die discs 18, 19 may be arrested in any desired position by means of a resilient pawl 63 (FIG. 2) secured to the tool body 10 and engaging the adjacent groove of a plurality of equally spaced grooves 64 in the periphery of the disc 18.
- a resilient pawl 63 (FIG. 2) secured to the tool body 10 and engaging the adjacent groove of a plurality of equally spaced grooves 64 in the periphery of the disc 18.
- the tool shown enables further an easy control of the two positions indicated in FIG. 4 by the outer end 65 of the jaw 26, shown in solid lines 65 in the embossing position and in dotted lines '65 in an intermediate position, respectively.
- the intermediate position the respective pair of die-elements have been brought into contact with the tape and is just about to start the embossing upon further squeezing of the handles.
- a portion of the tool body in the form of a transverse wall 66 is provided with two recesses 67, 68 facing the free end 65 of the jaw.
- the handles are released from this position, no embossing will have taken place and the tape is moved a step forwards corresponding substantially to a normal feeding step when embossing consecutive characters. Accordingly, a separating space between Words embossed on the tape will be obtained in this manner.
- the handles are squeezed beyond the intermediate position, the embossing starts and when it is completed, the free end 65 of the jaw will snap into the second recess 68 creating a second click sound indicating that no further squeeze of the handles is needed for obtaining proper embossment.
- the jaw 26 or handle 24 may have the two recesses 66, 67 cooperating with a projection on the body 10.
