Abstract
A label affixing machine having a core holding mechanism in which the core holding mechanism is provided in a label-protecting cover body provided openably about a main body housing of the label affixing machine. By rotating the label-protecting cover body, a label roll held by the core holding mechanism can be accommodated within the main body housing of the label affixing machine, a label core support shaft is operable to emerge from and descending into the main body housing in accordance with opening and closing operations of the label-protecting cover body. A fall preventing member slidably supports a side face of the label roll on the core holding mechanism.
Claims14
A label affixing machine having
- a label roll core holding mechanism, operable to hold a continuous label strip forming a label roll and having a plurality of labels temporarily adhered to a strip-form backing sheet
- a main body housing having an interior and wherein the backing sheet is conveyed through the interior of the main body housing where labels are peeled from the backing sheet so that the labels can be affixed to an article,
- the machine comprising:
- said main body housing;
- an operating lever provided rockably in said main body housing, said lever having a label holding space in which said label roll can be accommodated in said main body housing;
- and
- a label-protecting cover having a label core support shaft for supporting said label roll and provided openably in said main body housing,
- wherein said label roll can be positioned in said label holding space when said label-protecting cover is closed, and said label roll can be disposed in a position outward of said main body housing when said label-protecting cover is open.
A label affixing machine having a label roll core holding mechanism, in which a continuous label strip forming a label roll and having a plurality of labels temporarily adhered to a strip-form backing sheet is conveyed through the interior of a main body housing where said labels are peeled from said backing sheet so that said labels can be affixed to an article, comprising:
- said main body housing;
- a label-protecting cover provided openably in said main body housing;
- and
- a label core support shaft which is capable of emerging from and descending into said main body housing in accordance with opening and closing operations of said label-protecting cover, and of supporting said label roll,
- wherein said label core support shaft is capable of holding said label roll within said label-protecting cover body, and
- a fall preventing member which slides with respect to said shaft in accordance with said opening and closing operations of said label-protecting cover body, and said member is operable selectively to support an end face of said label roll.
A method for loading a label roll in a label roll core holding mechanism, wherein the holding mechanism comprises an operating lever rockable with respect to a main body,
- the main body having a housing having an interior in which the label roll is to be disposed during feeding of a label strip on the label roll;
- a label roll support including a label roll core holder supported to the housing;
- a label core fall preventing member at the support;
- the method comprising:
- positioning the support outside the housing interior to expose the core holder to enable mounting a roll core thereon,
- positioning the fall preventing member at the support in a passing condition at which the roll core may pass over the fall preventing member and onto the core holder;
- and
- then positioning the support with the label roll thereon inside the housing interior.
