Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A han d labeler in which self-adhesive labels are dispensed, one at a time, from a carrier strip.
  • a removable cassette stores the carrier strip and labels, the cassette including means for guiding the strip from the roll over a printing platen, around a label peeling and dispensing lip, and back along a guide surface.
  • the 1abeler includes a housing and an actuating lever, the cassette being mounted on the actuating lever, the actuating lever being pivotally mounted in the housing.
  • a reciprocating slide member carried by the actuating lever engages the carrier along the guide surface of the cassette.
  • the slide member is reciprocally actuated by relative movement between the actuating member and the housing. Manually squeezing the actuating lever toward the housing causes the slide mem ber to advance the carrier strip and to bring a printing device in the housing into engagement with a label opposite the platen on the cassette.
  • a stop on the cas sette limits the travel of the reciprocating member to control the incremental advance of the carrier strip with each operation of the actuating lever.
  • This invention relates to hand labelers, and more particularly to hand-operated labelers which print and dispense self-adhesive labels.
  • Hand-labeling devices which print and dispense one label at a timefSuch labelers are used, for example, for applying price labels to packaged goods sold in supermarkets and retail stores.
  • the labeler is arranged to be gripped in one hand, and by squeezing a pair of handles in a scissors-type action, the mechanism is actuated to print a number on the label and to cause a label to bepeeled from a carrier strip and moved into position where it can be applied to an external surface by the hand-labeler tool.
  • Known prior art labelers of this type have not been entirely satisfactory, both from the standpoint of design and manufacture, and also from the standpoint of the user.
  • One problem in the design and manufacture is to provide an inexpensive fool-proof mechanism for precisely indexing the advance of the carrier strip with each label dispensing operation. Unless this indexing operation is very precisely controlled, the position of the labels in going from the beginning of a roll to the end of a roll may be subject to an accumulating error.
  • the indexing mechanism is further complicated where it is desired to use the labeler on lables of difierent size.
  • the present invention provides an improved shuttletype indexing mechanism which is simple in its design and easily controlled to vary the incremental advance of the carrier strip according to the size of the label.
  • a further difficulty in the use of known prior art hand labelers has been in the insertion of new rolls of labels.
  • the roll is placed on a mandrel or inserted in a confined space which allows the carrier strip to be withdrawn from the roll while rotatably retaining the roll in position in the tool.
  • the carrier strip must be threaded through the printing station, the label peeling and dispensing station, and the carrier advancing mechanism.
  • the labeler of the present invention greatly simplifies the reloading problem by utilizing a replaceable cassette in which the label strip is stored.
  • the cassette can be disposed after use or reloaded for further use.
  • the cassette is pre-threaded so that the cassette is merely snapped into place in the hand labeler mechanism, and
  • the cassette provides all the guiding surfaces for advancing the carrier strip through the labeler-during the label dispensing operation.
  • One advantage of the cassette arrangement is that the need to clean and remove adhesive build-up on the guide surfaces, that has always been a problem with conventional labelers, is eliminated by the replaceable cassette.
  • the cassette also includes a stop which controls the advance mechanism for the carrier strip so that if a cassette storing a different size label is inserted in the labeler tool, the tool is automatically set to advance the carrier strip the correct distance to accommodate the different size label.
  • Additional features of the present invention include an improved arrangement for setting the print characters by a single control knob. Also there is provided a simplified mechanism for utilizing a replaceable ink roller for applying ink to the printing characters with each actuation of the labeler tool.
  • a hand label dispenser which comprises a housing having one end formed to provide a hand-gripping surface.
  • An actuating lever is pivotally attached at one end to the hand-gripping end of the housing.
  • a removable cassette member is detachably secured to the actuating lever, the cassette including a roll of self-adhesive labels on a carrier strip.
  • the cassette includes a platen, a dispensing lip, and an elongated guide surface, together with guide means for directing the carrier strip from the roll across the platen, around the dispensing lip, and along the length of the guide surface of the cassette.
  • An advancing mechanism includes a shuttle plate which moves reciprocally opposite the guide surface of the cassette and includes fingers which engage the carrier to advance the carrier with each reciprocal stroke of the shuttle plate.
  • the shuttle plate engages a stop on the cassette which limits the distance through which the shuttle plate advances with each stroke.
  • the shuttle plate is actuated by linkage extending from the housing member to the shuttle plate such that relative movement between the actuating lever and the housing imparts a reciprocating movement to the shuttle plate.
  • the print mechanism is mounted in the housing with print wheels positioned to move into engagement with the label where the label crosses the platen.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 8 is similar to FIG. 7 but with the upper plate of the shuttle shifted in one direction.
  • the housing 10 includes a handle portion 28 which cooperates with a gripping portion 38 of the actuating lever 22 to permit the labeler to be gripped in a persons hand and the actuating lever 22 squeezed into the interior of the housing 10.
  • This squeezing action is resisted by a flat spring 32 in the form of an open loop, one end of the spring 32 being anchored within the housing 10 by a boss 34 and the other end of the spring 32 being anchored to the actuating lever 22 by a bracket 36.
  • Relative movement between the housing 10 and the actuating lever 22 is limited by a pair of stops 40 which engage slots 42 on either side of the housing 10.
  • the stops 40 project outwardly through the slots 42 and are supported by integrally molded side members 44 of the actuating lever 22. By pressing the side members 44 together, the stops 40 can be withdrawn inwardly of the slots 42, permitting the actuating lever to be rotated away from the housing 110 about the pivot pin 24 during the reloading of the labeling tool.
  • the cassette 46 is a single piece of molded plastic and includes a pair of side walls 48 joined along the lower margins thereof by a bottom wall 50. The outer end of the bottom wall 50 terminates in a platen 52 stiffened by ribs 54. The platen terminates in a dispensing lip 56 which operates to separate the carrier strip from the labels. Side members 48 are also joined by a bridging section 58.
  • the cassette holds a roll 60 of self-adhesive labels, the labels being secured by the pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side of the label to a carrier strip 62.
  • the roll 60 is supported between the two side members 48 of the cassette 46 by a cylindrical knob 64 which project toward each other and extend into the central opening of the roll 60.
  • the carrier strip is pre-threaded through the cassette, bypassing it over the platen 52, around the peeling edge 56, and along the length of the bottom wall 50 across a bridging guide section 66 that forms a slot with the end of the wall 50 through which the strip extends in passing outside of the labeling tool.
  • the cassette is snapped in place in the actuating lever 22 by means of notches on either side of a ledge 70 that receive the side walls of the cassette.
  • the cassette has lugs 68 which engage the side walls of the lever on either side of the ledge 70 to allow the cassette to pivot into position with the platen end of the cassette fitting against a bridging section 72 of the actuating lever 22.
  • Spring-like retaining fingers 74 on either side of the platen 52 releasably lock the platen end of the cassette in position.
  • a printing assembly indicated generally at 76.
  • the printing assembly includes a pair of molded frame plates 78 and 80. Extending between the two side plates is a shaft 82 on which is joumaled a plurality of print wheels 84, five of such print wheels being shown by way of example. Around the outer periphery of each print wheel are positioned the raised print characters 86. See FIG. 4.
  • Each of the print wheels is held in a particular angular position by a detent means which includes a metal ball 88 and spring 90 located in a transverse bore extending through the shaft 82. The ball 88 is urged by the spring 90 into one of a plurality of detent notches 92 located around the inner periphery of each of the print wheels 84.
  • Each of the print wheels 84 can be rotated individuy to a n f h deten p tions to bring a lected character into printing position.
  • Rotation of the print wheels is provided by a plurality of indicia wheels 94 molded of a transparent plastic.
  • Theindicia wheels 94 are joumaled on a hollow transparent shaft 96 which is in turn joumaled in axially aligned openings in the frame plates 78 and 80.
  • the outer ends of the shaft 96 extend through aligned openings in the outer shells 12 and 14 in the housing 10.
  • the shaft 96 has a plurality of teeth 104 projecting radially outwardly from the surface of the shaft 96, the teeth corresponding in width to the thickness of one indicia wheel.
  • Each indicia wheel is provided with a plurality of notches 106 around the inner periphery which are engagable by the teeth 104.
  • the entire print assembly 76 is rigidly secured to the housing shell 12 by suitable projecting lugs which engage the two halves of the housing shell.
  • the assembly is positioned such that as the actuating lever 22 moves toward the housing 10, the print wheels 84 move toward the platen 52.
  • the platen 52 is provided with a resilient facing 126 over which the carrier strip and the associated labels pass. As each label moves into position over the platen, squeezing of the actuating lever causes the print wheels to come into contact with the label, pressing the print wheels against the label and against the platen facing, thereby imprinting on the surface of the label from the print wheels.
  • the labeler With each actuation of the lever 22, the labeler is arranged to imprint one label and to advance the carrier strip by a distance corresponding to the center-tocenter distance between adjacent labels on the strip. Also with each actuation of the lever 22, ink is applied to the print wheels and a label is peeled from the carrier strip and dispensed, all in a manner hereinafter described in more detail.
  • the carrier strip advancing mechanism includes a shuttle assembly 128 which is slidably supported within a channel formed by a bottom wall ll3 and side walls 132 integrally formed as part of the actuating lever 22.
  • the shuttle mechanism 128 includes a channel-shaped lower plate 134 and upper plate 136.
  • the upper plate 136 slides in grooves 138 along the side walls of the channel-shaped lower plate 134.
  • the upper plate is held in the grooves by fingers 137 that snap under a lip 139 on the inside walls of the lower plate 134.
  • Two springs 140 are connected between the lower and upper plates so as to bias the upper plate against a stop 141 at one end of the lower plate.
  • FIG. 7 shows the upper plate in normal position against the stop 141 while FIG.
  • the upper plate 136 shows the upper plate 136 shifted away from the stop 141.
  • the upper plate carries two sets of springloaded fingers.
  • Each finger includes a cantilever spring 146 secured at one end to the underside of the upper plate 136 and having a pair of lugs or teeth 148 at the other end projecting upwardly through an opening in the plate 136.
  • the shuttle assembly 128 is positioned to move immediately below the wall 50 of the cassette such that the lugs 148 are pressed upwardly by the springs ll46 against the carrier strip as it passes along the lower surface of the cassette wall 50.
  • the carrier strip is preferably provided with notches between the labels which are engagable by the lugs 148. Thus sliding movement of the shuttle assembly 128 imparts movement through the projecting lugs to the carrier strip along the lower surface of the cassette wall 50.
  • Movement is imparted to the shuttle assembly 128 by a pair of advance arms 150 located within the housing oneither side of the print assembly 76.
  • One end of each of the arms 150 is pivotally secured to the print assembly 76 by a pin 152.
  • the other end of each of the arms 150 pivotably engages a notch 153 in the lower plate 134 on either side of the shuttle assembly 128.
  • the arms are withdrawn from the notches when actuating lever 22 is moved away from the housing 10 during reloading or replacing the cassette 46.
  • the actuating lever 22 is moved toward the print assembly .76 within the housing 10, the anns 150 force the shuttle assembly 128 to move to the right, as viewed in FIG. 3.
  • each cassette controls the distance the carrier strip is advanced by the upper plate 136 and associated strip engaging fingers with each cycle of operation of the labeling tool. This permits the length of the carrier strip advance with each cycle of operation to be varied to shift the imprinting position on the label and to accommodate different sizes of labels being dispensed from a particular cassette.
  • a return spring 157 is connected to post 159 on the lever 22 and a post 161 on the lower plate 134 for returning the shuttle mechanism to its initial position when the actuating lever 22 is released.
  • the carrier strip 62 is clamped by a pivoted brake arm which is supported from the frame of the actuating lever 22 and is urged by suitable spring means (not shown) against the surface of the carrier strip 62.
  • the brake arm 160 presses against the carrier strip 62 locking it against movement in a direction back toward the roll.
  • Adjacent the pivot 168 of the arms 164 is a pin 176 which engages a slot 178 in the overlying shuttle actuating arms 150.
  • rotation of the arms 150 causes the inking assembly to rotate about its pivot supports 168 and in so doing causes the ink roller 170 to come into rolling contact with the characters on the print wheels 84.
  • ink is applied to the print characters before the label is brought up into contact with the print characters by operation of the actuating lever 22.
  • a semi-circular shaped spring 180 is anchored at one end to the shuttle control arms 150, as indicated at 182, while the other end hooks over the pins 176.
  • the spring 180 is compressed by moving the ends of the spring loop together as the actuating lever 22 is moved toward the housing 10.
  • the spring H80 acts to return the shuttle mechanism and the inking mechanism back to their original positions when the actuating lever 22 is released.
  • an improved hand-operatedlabeling tool which is basically simple in its design and very easy to use.
  • the tool is loaded by squeezing the sides of the actuating lever frame to disengage the stops 40 from the slots 42, thereby permitting the actuating lever to be swung away from the housing 10.
  • the cassette with a pre loaded and threaded label carrier strip is then inserted in the tool by first inserting the lugs 68 of the cassette into position on either side of the ledge 7t]; and then pressing the platen end of the cassette into place in which the fingers 74 lock the cassette in position.
  • the tool is now ready to use by bringing the actuating lever toward the housing.
  • the operation can be accomplished in various ways, either by gripping the tool with the hand encircling the handle 28 of the housing and the fingers squeezingagainst the gripping portion 30 of the actuating lever 22, or by resting the actuating lever 22 against the surface on which the label is to be applied and pressing the housing 10 toward the actuating lever.
  • the latter arrangement avoids the need to rely on the grip alone to operate the tool, which can be fatiguing to the hand if repeated many times.
  • the next operation of the tool again advances the carrier
