Computing scale with label issuing scheme

A computing scale with a label issuing system including a weighing portion for weighing the weight of a commodity and a label issuing portion for issuing a label to be stuck to said commodity based on weighed data obtained from said weighing portion;

• said label issuing portion comprising a base portion, printer means provided above said base portion and spaced apart from said base portion by a small gap, rolled-up sheet supporting means disposed above and in the rear of said printer means for supporting a coil of a label retaining backing sheet and so as to be capable of yielding said backing sheet, first guide means for guiding said backing sheet from said rolled-up sheet supporting means to a print position of said printer means for printing predetermined information on said label based on the weighed data obtained from said weighing portion, said computing scale further comprising:
• stripping means located forward of said printer means for substantially stripping a label from said backing sheet on which said predetermined information has been printed, strip operation enabling means associated with said stripping means for manually completely stripping said substantially stripped label, backing sheet winding means located below and in the rear of said printer means for winding said backing sheet from which labels have been stripped through said strip operation enabling means, second guiding means for guiding said backing sheet through said strip operation enabling means into said backing sheet winding means, stamping means located between said printer means and said stripping means for stamping an information item of said commodity on the label on which predetermined informations have been printed by said printer means, said stamping means comprising a stamping table positioned below a label on said backing sheet, a stamping plate located above said stamping table for stamping the items on said label on said stamping table, and driving means for causing a stamping operation on said label on said stamping table by said stamping plate, said driving means for causing a stamping operation comprising a solenoid and a plunger driven by said solenoid for said stamping plate on the label on said stamping table, wherein said solenoid is located below said stamping table and said plunger extends upwardly from said stamping table through said stamping table, and wherein said computing scale further comprises a bar mounted in the upper portion of said plunger and a stamping plate mounted means located on the side at one end of said bar for mounting said stamping plate at the position corresponding to that of said stamping table.
