  • the present invention relates generally to printing tools and pertains, more specifically, to a hand' tool for printing a series of consecutive characters upon an elongate strip of material for producing labels and the like.
  • One such alternate technique is that of printing an elongate strip of material with a series of consecutive characters utilizing ink as the printing medium. While ink printing is quite common in the fabrication of such displays, the printing of consecutive selected characters upon an elongate strip of material requires a combination of ease of selection of each character, accuracy of registration of consecutive characters, and print quality in all characters heretofore unavailable in a simple, easy-to-use hand-held tool.
  • It is therefore an object of the invention to provide Another object of the invention is to provide such a hand tool which is easy to use and which attains accurate registration of consecutive printed characters with good print quality.
  • Still another object of the invention is to'provide such a tool in which good print quality is maintained over long periods of use without requiring replenishment of the ink supply.
  • A,further object of the invention is to provide such a hand tool which enables rapid selection of each character to be printed and which provides a wide choice of printing characters with minimal complexity.
  • a still further object of the invention is to' provide a hand tool as described above which enables the printed strip to be severed into discrete displays, or labels, or to remain in a strip of individual labels, joined by a common backing.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a hand tool of the type described which utilizes a strip supply contained in a magazine and wherein the structural relationship between the magazine and the feed means of the tool assures advancement of the strip from the supply in accurate increments of advancement for accurate registration of the'printed characters.

All of the fingers 54 of the print wheel 52 normally lie within the same plane P; however, upon rotation of the selector wheel 40, and concomitant rotation of the print wheel 52, the print element 36A which is brought into the printing station 34 engages deflector means shown in the form of a deflector roller 60 journaled within the sub-frame 24 at the printing station. Such engagement of the print element 36A with the deflector roller 60 deflects the print element 36A downwardly, as seen in FIGS. and 7 through 10.
  • the indicia 44 are carried by the sub-frame 24 and the selector wheel 40 is transparent so that upon rotation of the selector wheel the pointer 42 may be aligned with a selected indicia 44 to locate the corresponding print element 36 at the printing station 34 wherein that print element will de displaced downwardly out of the plane P of the adjacent print elements 363 and 36C.

The path of travel 50 is juxtaposed with and passes beneath the selected print element 36A at the printing station 34.

  • the amount of ink picked up by the ink rollers 83 and 84 and transferred to the selected print element 36A just prior to the printing of each character is governed by the extent of the content between ink roller 83 and the ink supply member 80 when the carriage 74 is at the first position 74F. In order to compensate for the eventual depletion of the ink from the ink supply member 80, the amount of contact between the ink roller 83 and the ink supply member 80 may be increased selectively from time to time.
