Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cassette with a slide-in device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a franking device with such a cassette according to the preamble of claim 8.
- Thermal printers are used to print special characters, in particular stamps on objects, such as letters, parcels and the like, which can vary in a wide range with regard to their geometry, surface properties and other characteristic sizes.
- the transfer belts used are usually stored in cassettes.
- the cartridges are brought into a predefined position with respect to the print head, so that the tape runs close to the surface of the print head.
- the wafer-thin transfer ribbon is often partially damaged or torn.
- the present invention has set itself the goal of proposing means that overcome these disadvantages. At the same time, the time required to install a new cassette should be reduced. Furthermore, a franking machine with such a cassette is to be proposed, which is easy to maintain on the one hand with regard to the tape change and on the other hand can be economically manufactured or retrofitted. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of independent claims 1 and 8.
- the advantage of the invention is seen primarily in the simplicity of the solution.
- the tape guide lever Before opening the cassette, the tape guide lever must be in the pick-up position.
- the ribbon feed lever which is coupled to the ribbon guide lever, forcibly pushes the ribbon away from the print head area.
- the ribbon guide lever After the cassette has been completely assembled, the ribbon guide lever is moved into its second position, the ribbon application lever simultaneously releasing the ribbon so that it can rest against the print head.
- Embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims, which include " both the structural embodiment and the degree of automation / level of protection of the device.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of the cartridge during the cartridge insertion phase
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the cartridge after the cartridge insertion phase
- a tape application lever 23 in the form of a wire which is bent in a U-shape at least in the tape area is rotatably mounted at a pivot point 24.
- the apply lever 23 contacts the ribbon and pushes it away from the print head position.
- the ribbon guide lever is released from position 26 and transferred to the second latching position above it. This transfer can be done by hand using convenient tabs that are molded onto the wire. In this second position, the lever is completely released from the belt. This can now attach itself to the printhead, be it through its own pretensioning or through a specifically initiated clamping process by the device receiving the cassette or by clamping means arranged in the cassette itself.
- the tape application lever can also be formed from a structural part not made of wire. The only important thing is that he can run the tape across its entire width.
- the latching elements can be designed differently than the simplest receptacle spaces that are open on one side and molded onto the cassette housing.
- the position of the cassette with respect to its end position can be determined by a means, e.g. via a stylus that can be pushed into the cassette.
- This can be connected via a coupling directly to the tape application lever or directly to the tape guide lever and in this way automatically control the movement of the tape application lever.
- Suitable end position locking means e.g. instead of the already shown receiving spaces, resilient sensors or magnets guarantee the respective lever lock in one of the movement end points.
- the lever position can be controlled.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the figures. Rather, it encompasses all cassettes in which the teaching of the claims is realized, ie the safe assembly of the cassette and enable damage-free application of the ribbon to the printhead. It is immaterial whether individual elements shown are replaced by means that work or act in the same or a similar way.
