Description

Mountless label cutting apparatus and label-less label cutting method of portable mountless label sticking machine

The present invention relates to a mountless label cutting apparatus and a mountless label cutting method of a portable mountless label sticking machine, and in particular, a belt-like mountless label is loaded and transported to perform a sticking operation on a desired adherend. The present invention relates to a boardless label cutting device and a boardless label cutting method of a portable boardless label sticking machine.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a label is attached to various products and other objects to be attached using a portable label applicator, and the price of the product and other necessary information are displayed. When using this portable label applicator, in a state where the label is rolled up, it is loaded and held in a holder such as a paper holder in the portable label applicator, and the label is fed out from the paper holder into a belt shape. Insert into a portable label applicator and transfer or print. *

As a label to be loaded into the portable label applicator, it has a strip-shaped label base material, an adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the label base material, and a release agent layer provided on the surface of the label base material, There is a non-mounting label without a mount, and the non-mounting label can contribute to resource saving because it does not have a mount. However, since a label without a mount is not backed by a mount, it is necessary to cut it at a predetermined pitch to make a single-leaf label piece. That is, in the portable boardless label sticking machine that is used by loading the label without mount, a mechanism for cutting the strip-like mountless label to be transferred into the machine at a predetermined pitch is required. *

However, the conventional portable baseless label pasting machine employs, for example, a pair of tempered cutter blades as the cutting mechanism, and sandwiches the baseless label from the front and back surfaces. In such a cutting structure, the cutter blade itself is expensive, requires a large force for pinching, requires a strong body frame that supports the cutter blade, and is therefore heavy and expensive. Further, there are various problems such as that the cutter blade itself is not safe. *

In addition, when pasting a label on which sales promotion information or advertisement information is printed in advance, the label can be pasted only by operating the operation lever without providing a printing unit. Even in the case of a labeling machine without a mount, there is a similar problem with the cutting mechanism for the label without a mount.

FIG. 5 is a side view of the cutting piece 51 and the interlocking mechanism 52 and a horizontal sectional view of the bottom surface of the lateral rail member 57 in a state where the cutting piece 51 returns to the original position. *

In particular, as shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. 10, the attitude control window 70 is formed between the brake window 70A formed on both ends of the lateral rail member 57 in the width direction of the transfer endless belt 23 and the brake window 70A. And a non-brake window 70B formed continuously. The cutting piece 51 and the elastic protrusion 67 positioned below the Burster bracket 56 reciprocate toward the attitude control window 70 (the brake window 70A and the non-brake window 70B), and the elastic protrusion 67 is a brake in the attitude control window 70. The window 70A and the non-brake window 70B are brought into sliding contact with and separated from each other. However, the width H of the free state facing the non-brake window 70B in the state where the left and right elastic protrusions 67 are not assembled to the attitude control window 70 is equal to the width W1 of the brake window 70A and the non-brake window 70B. Between the width W2 (W1 <H <W2). *

In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, a label pressing member 71 is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal rail member 57, and a label pressing plate 72 is attached to the bottom of the label pressing member 71. The transported endless label 3 can be pressed against the upper surface of the transport endless belt 23 by the bottom surface of the label pressing plate 72 to prevent the baseless label 3 from being lifted, and the baseless label 3 by the baseless label cutting device 9 can be prevented. This ensures the cutting action. *

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 8 (2) and 9 (2), the transfer endless belt 23 has a transverse recess 23A in which the circumferential tip 51A of the cutting piece 51 can be pushed so as to cut the label 3 without the mount. The cross-sectional uneven shape formed on the upper surface is exhibited. Further, the taper shape of the circumferential tip 51A is equivalent to the taper shape of the transverse recess 23A in the endless belt 23 for transfer. *

In the portable mountless label sticking machine 1 and the mountless label cutting device 9 having such a configuration, the opening / closing knob 26 is operated to engage the engagement / disengagement recess 28 A and the engagement / disengagement roller 25. When the platen unit 6 is opened with respect to the side plate 2 by releasing the engagement, the torsion coil spring 40 receives the reaction force from the lever shaft 11 or the side plate 2 via the plate spring 41 and the torsion coil spring 40 is moved from the pressing element 19 to the transfer roller 18. The portions are separated from each other, and the gap 42 is formed with the maximum opening between the transfer roller 18 and the pressing element 19. Accordingly, a portion of the gap 42 formed between the central circumferential groove 34, the transfer claw 35 and the outer circumferential groove 36 in the circumferential portion of the transfer roller 18, and the backup roller 38 and backup ring 39 of the pressing element 19. The leading portion of the label 3 without the mount can be inserted. Next, the platen unit 6 is closed to the state shown in FIG. 1, the engagement / disengagement recess 28 A of the opening / closing engagement / disengagement piece 28 is engaged with the engagement / disengagement roller 25, and the operation lever 5 and the grip 10 are gripped several times. Then, if the transfer claw 35 is engaged with the transfer slit 3A of the label 3 without mount, the transfer of the label 3 without mount is enabled and the loading is completed. *

In the portable mountless label pasting machine 1 with the platen unit 6 closed, the printer 7 prints on the mountless label 3 on the transfer endless belt 23 by grasping the operation lever 5 and the grip 10. At the same time, the transfer rotation claw 32 moves from the transfer protrusion 33 of the roller gear 24 in the transfer roller 18 to the adjacent transfer protrusion 33 side (on the left side in FIG. 3). The moving claw 32 rotates the transfer protrusion 33 forward (in the right direction in FIG. 3), and the transfer roller 18 is rotated at a predetermined pitch to transfer the mountless label 3. Further, when the drive gear 21 engaged with the transfer roller 18 is rotated, the transfer endless belt 23 is rotated so that the non-mounting label 3 on the upper surface thereof can be fed out of the side plate 2. The label piece 3B of the non-mounting label 3 fed out of the side plate 2 at the leading end (downstream side) of the endless belt 23 for transfer can be stuck to a predetermined adherend by the sticking roller 8. *

With the printing and transfer of the label 3 without the mount as described above, the label 3 without the mount is cut by the label cutting device 9 without the mount by holding the operating lever 5 and the grip 10. The cutting process of the non-mounting label 3 by the non-mounting label cutting device 9 will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 10, in a state where the operation lever 5 is released, the connecting plate 54 of the interlocking mechanism 52 of the vertical rail member 53 is pulled by the pulling force from the yoke portion 5 A of the operation lever 5 by the coil spring 12 (FIG. 3). It is located at the top in the vertical guide groove 58. Therefore, the burster bracket 56 is slightly rotated counterclockwise around the fulcrum pin 65 from the connecting plate 54 via the link bar 55, and the attitude regulating pin 66 is located above the guide window 69 of the lateral rail member 57. As a result of the contact with the wall surface 69A, as shown in FIG. 9, the bracket body 64 is in a state in which the cutting piece 51 is slightly separated from the surface of the non-mounting label 3. Further, as shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. 10, in the attitude control window 70 of the lateral rail member 57, the elastic protrusion 67 of the burster bracket 56 is in contact with the brake window 70A with a predetermined frictional force and is cut. The top 51 faces the part of the non-brake window 70B. *

As shown in FIG. 11, the operating lever 5 and the grip 10 are gripped, the driving force (arrow A1) from the yoke portion 5A is transmitted from the connecting plate 54 to the link bar 55, and the attitude regulating pin 66 is the fulcrum pin 65. Is slightly rotated clockwise (arrow A2), abuts on the lower inner wall surface 69B, and the cutting piece 51 enters the transverse recess 23A below the mountless label 3 on the endless belt 23 for transfer. When the operating lever 5 and the grip 10 are further gripped, the cutting piece 51 is moved against the frictional force between the elastic projection 67 and the brake window 70A by the gripping of the control lever 5 and the grip 10.
The figure shows a state in which the label 3 without mount is started to be cut in the area 0. That is, as shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. 11, the cutting piece 51 is located slightly to the left of the left edge in the figure of the label 3 without mount, and further grips the operation lever 5 and the grip 10. As a result, the cutting piece 51 moves to the right from this state, and as a result, the cutting piece 51 cuts from the side surface of the non-mounting label 3.

As shown in FIG. 12, the connection plate 54 is further lowered by transmission of the driving force from the operation lever 5 by further gripping the operation lever 5 and the grip 10 (arrow A 3), and the Burster bracket 56 is connected via the link bar 55. Moves to the end of the guide window 69 of the lateral rail member 57, the cutting piece 51 moves along the transverse recess 23A of the endless belt 23 for transfer (arrow A4), and the transfer slit 3A and the sewing machine for the label 3 without mount The perforation 3C is positioned so that the circumferential tip 51A enters the transverse recess 23A of the transfer endless belt 23 with a predetermined pressing force at the portion of the mesh 3C (FIG. 3), and in particular, the cuts face both ends. As a result of breaking in order from the end of the sheet, the non-mounting label 3 is cut into the single-leaf label piece 3B with a relatively small force. Since the transverse recess 23A of the transfer endless belt 23 is formed relatively thin in accordance with the circumferential tip 51A of the cutting piece 51, the circumferential tip 51A, the transfer slit 3A and the perforation 3C are formed. Even if the relative position is slightly deviated, the transfer slit 3A and the perforation 3C or the vicinity thereof can enter the transverse recess 23A, and the above-described cutting action can be performed accurately. As shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. 12, the elastic protrusion 67 faces the non-brake window 70B of the attitude control window 70 during the above-described cutting action, so that the cutting action itself is not resistant. When the cutting is completed, one of the attitude control windows 70 (located on the right brake window 70A side in FIG. 12 and enters with a predetermined frictional force.

As shown in FIG. 13, in a state where the operation lever 5 and the grip 10 are completely gripped, the cutting piece 51 cuts the mountless label 3 and waits for the next operation lever 5 to be released. *

As shown in FIG. 14, when the operation lever 5 is released, the cutting piece 51 is separated from the mountless label 3 via the interlocking mechanism 52 by the pulling force (arrow A5) acting on the connecting plate 54 by the coil spring 12. Begin to. Specifically, when the link bar 55 is pulled up via the connecting plate 54, as shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. 14, the elastic protrusion 67 is in a stopped state with a predetermined friction force on the brake window 70A. The Burster bracket 56 (bracket body 64) itself rotates counterclockwise around the fulcrum pin 65 (arrow A6), and is pulled up slightly from the bar connecting hole 68 (bracket connecting pin 63). The posture regulation pin 66 comes into contact with the upper inner wall surface 69A of the guide window 69, and the cutting piece 51 is lifted from the surface of the non-mounting label 3 (see also FIG. 9). Therefore, when the operation lever 5 is released, as described above, the non-mounting label 3 is transferred by the transfer roller 18 at a predetermined pitch, and the non-mounting label 3 is transferred on the transfer endless belt 23 by the same pitch. In the middle, that is, the label 3 itself without the mount is moving on the transfer endless belt 23, and during this movement, the cutting piece 51 does not contact or interfere with the label 3 without the mount, and the mount The transfer of the none label 3 on the transfer endless belt 23 is prevented from being hindered. However, due to a slight timing difference between the cutting action and the transfer action of the mountless label 3 due to the gripping and releasing of the operation lever 5, the cutting piece 51 is engaged with the mountless label 3 or the transverse recess 23A of the transfer endless belt 23. Even if the non-mounting label 3 is transported in the state where it is left, the tapered shape of the circumferential tip 51A of the cutting piece 51 and the tapered shape of the transverse recess 23A of the transporting endless belt 23 are substantially the same. Therefore, the cutting piece 51 can be separated upward from the transverse recess 23A without stopping the transfer of the non-mounting label 3 (see FIG. 9 (2)). *

As shown in FIG. 15, with the release of the operation lever 5, the connecting plate 54 and the link bar 55 return upward (arrow A7), and the burster bracket 56 returns to the original position (arrow A8). In the transition from the state shown in FIG. 14 to the state shown in FIG. 15, the elastic protrusion 67 engaged with the brake window 70A with a predetermined frictional force is formed as shown in the horizontal sectional view of FIG. Due to the urging force of the coil spring 12 much larger than the frictional force, the coil spring 12 can easily move to the non-brake window 70B and further to the brake window 70B on the opposite side (left side in the figure). That is, by the pulling force by the coil spring 12, the posture restriction pin 66 of the burster bracket 56 is slightly lifted upward via the link bar 55, and the posture restriction pin 66 contacts the upper inner wall surface 69 A of the guide window 69. Then, the Burster bracket 56 returns to the original position while being slightly inclined upward, and the next operation lever 5 and grip 10 are held. *

Thus, the interlocking mechanism 52 can cut the mountless label 3 when the operation lever 5 is gripped, and can transfer the mountless label 3 on the transfer endless belt 23 when the operation lever 5 is released. Further, the interlocking mechanism 52 can press the cutting piece 51 against the label 3 without backing paper with a predetermined pressing force during the forward cutting operation of the cutting piece 51, and the cutting piece 51 when the cutting piece 51 does not move backward. Can be separated from the label 3 without mount. In other words, it is possible to cut the mountless label 3 by moving the cutting piece 51 in the width direction of the mountless label 3 via the interlocking mechanism 52 by gripping the operation lever 5, and the Burster bracket 56 is When the interlocking mechanism 52 reciprocates along the width direction of the transfer endless belt 23, the first posture (FIGS. 8, 11, and 12) that presses the cutting piece 51 against the surface of the non-mounting label 3 is set. take. Further, when the operation lever 5 is released and the cutting piece 51 is moved back in the width direction of the non-mounting label 3 via the interlocking mechanism 52 and returned to the original position, the burster bracket 56 is attached to the non-mounting label by the cutting piece 51. The posture is changed to the second posture (FIGS. 9, 14, and 15) for releasing the pressure on the third. *

As described above, according to the label cutting device 9 without mount, the cutting piece 51 is moved in the width direction of the label 3 without mount and is inserted into the transverse recess 23A on the endless belt 23 for transfer. Since the transfer slit 3A and the perforation 3C are torn, without using a cutter blade as in the prior art, it is possible to safely and easily cut the label 3 without the mount with a relatively small force, The burden on the entire body frame can also be reduced.
