Definitions

  • the present invention is intended and attempts to overcome the disadvantages and difiiculties inherent in devices of the above-stated character, it being among the objects of the present invention to provide a label feeding and attaching device which is comparatively simple in construction and efficient in operation.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof
  • FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view thereof with the cover removed to show the mechanical feature of the apparatus
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view, partly in crosssection of the miniature clutch and its mounting on the base with its relation to the finger or pistol grip;
  • FIG. 8 is a top plan view of a modified form of the invention wherein a printing head is incorporated therein;
  • FIG. 10 is a fragmentary front elevational view thereof with the printing head in inoperative position.
  • the device has a flat base 1 having an extension 2 depending therefrom and con- Stituting the hand grip.
  • Tape 4 has on its surf-ace a series of labels 5, the ends of which have a line of contrasting color.
  • Feed roll 3 mounted on base 1 carries the roll of tape which is fed under indicator pin 6 which is visible from above.
  • the line of color on the ends of the labels registers with pin 6 showing that the feed of labels is correct.
  • Guide 7 cooperates with pin 6 to place the tape under tension.
  • Tape 4 passes under stud 8 and over stud 9 and sharply reverses its direction as shown at 4'.
  • Bar 9' insures that the labels separate from the tape and continue in the line of movement as shown at 5'.
  • Block 10 cooperates with bar 9' so that the label is guided past roller 12.
  • a pivot 11 carrying a rubber or other soft elastic roller 12 which serves as a tool for pressing the labels onto the desired surfaces.
  • the tape passes into contact with covering then between said covering and pressure roll 16 mounted on pivot 17.
  • the pressure roll is knurled so as to press into the smooth or slick face of the tape and prevent slippage thereof. After passing the pressure roll, the tape then proceeds between members 18 and 19 through channel formed between them and then out of the apparatus and is discarded.
  • the diamond knurl on pressure roll 16 has the important function of puncturing the tape 4 because of the diamond points of the knurl. This eliminates the necessity of undue pressure of the pressure roll against the rubber coated feed roll 15. Excessive pressure at this point is capable of causing slip clutch 14 to backlash, thereby disrupting the uniform feed of the labels.
  • the combination of the sharp knurls and the soft surface of the feed roll is essential for proper feed.
  • a finger piece or grip 21 extends downwardly from the base to a point close to hand grip 2.
  • Finger piece 21 is integral with plate 22 and a spring 23 has one end 24 attached to base 1 and the other end to plate 22 at 25, whereby the finger grip is automatically retracted to the left into operative position.
  • a threaded block 26 Within hand grip 2 is a threaded block 26 through which passes a screw having a head 27 which is turned to advance or retract the screw.
  • the free end 28 thereof is adapted to be contacted by finger grip 21 when it is in its most advanced position shown at 21.
  • the stroke of the finger piece is readily adjusted to coincide with the length of the label by noting indicator pin 6 and its position relative to the line at the end of the label.
  • Threaded socket 31 in the center of feed roll 3 receives the threaded portion of thumb nut 32 to hold the cover in place.
  • a hole 32' in cover 30 receives the end of pivot 11.
  • tape 4 carrying labels 5 passes under guide pin 32 and over arcuate plate 33 having a fiat face 33'.
  • Guard 34 on extension 35 of actuator disk 36 integral with finger grip 21 has inking pad or roller 37 adjacent thereto and mounted on extension 35. The guard prevents accidental smearing of ink onto other elements.
  • Printing head 38 is mounted on arm 39 which is pivoted at 40 to base 1.
  • Coil spring 41 has one end fixed on pin 32 and the other end 42 secured on arm 39 to bias the printing head towards the labels.
  • Cam 43 contacts follower 44 on arm 39.
  • Head 38 fits into notch 38 in cover 30.
  • the device is quite simple, there are a minimum of moving parts, the several elements are readily accessible, and it is highly reliable without the difficulty of going out of order.
  • the stroke of the finger grip In case the labels on the tape should go out of register, it is a simple matter to adjust the stroke of the finger grip to realign the labels.
