A first mount pressing member 40 is provided at the bottom 2 of the label cassette l, and a second mount pressing member 60 is provided at the bottom of the label pasting machine 50, facing the bottom 2 of the label cassette l. ing.

Next, the first and second mount pressing members 40, 60, which are the essence of the present invention, will be explained in detail.

First, the first mount pressing member 40 on the label cassette l side is
As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, and especially shown in detail in FIG.
1 is integrally formed, and a spring 43 that comes into contact with the bottom 2x of the label cassette 1, which is recessed from the bottom 2 of the label cassette 1, is housed in the bored accommodation hole 42. Further, a holder 44 is fixed to the main body of the mount pressing member 40 with a set screw 46,
On the bottom surface of this holder 44, a slip prevention body 45 made of a rubber material and having a large number of stripes is adhered.

Thus, the elastic bias of the spring 43 presses the entire first mount pressing member 40 downwardly of the label cassette l.

In detail, the tape-shaped mount 93 set in the label cassette l is attached to the holder 44 of the mount pressing member 40, and a rotating mount pressing member 20 (whole outline is shown in FIG. (see FIG. 5).

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, this rotating mount holding member 20 is used to pull out the tape-shaped label 91 wound into a roll from the label cassette 1 (see FIG. 2), and a turning pin at the tip of the cassette. 4 (see FIG. 1) to press and hold the tape-shaped mount 93 after the 2 labels 92 have been peeled off. To briefly explain this mechanism and the action of pressing the mount, the rotating mount pressing member 20 is rotatable about the pivot 21 with respect to the label cassette l, and is engaged with the locking protrusion 26 of the hook 25 at its tip. The engagement recesses 22 that engage, the plurality of engagement holes 23 that engage with the locking tongues 31 of the mount width regulating member 30, and the locking of the first mount pressing member 40 that is a part of the mechanism of the present invention. A side engagement hole 23a (see FIG. 4) that engages with the tongue piece 41, a cutter 24 for cutting the tape-shaped mount 93, and the like are provided.

The mount width regulating member 30 provided at the bottom 2x of the label cassette 1 is movable by being guided by a guide rod 27 as shown in FIG. Regulate the side. Further, inside this member 30, there is a spring 32 that elastically biases the locking member 33 toward the cassette bottom 2X, and the locking member 1F member 33 is attached to the cassette bottom 2X.
The width of one mount is regulated by matching the engagement recesses 2a provided at prescribed intervals.

Next, a second mount pressing member 60 which is a part of the mechanism of the present invention
In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the labeling machine 50 is provided with the labeling machine 50.

In detail, this second mount pressing member 60 is attached to the label pasting machine 5.
A spring 62 is interposed on a support shaft 61 provided in the width direction at the bottom of the tape-shaped mount 93, and the tape-shaped mount 93 is elastically biased with a weak force in the opposite direction of transport.

The second mount holding member 60 is configured to have the function of an escape means that, when the mount 93 is towed, it overcomes the frictional force with the mount 93 being transferred and falls down in the pulling direction. Furthermore, the first mount pressing member 4 is provided on the contact surface with the tape-shaped mount 93 located above the mount pressing member 60.
Similarly to No. 0, a slip prevention body 63 made of a rubber material is adhered.

The second mount pressing member 60 is elastically biased against the bottom 2 of the label cassette l, and this tape-shaped mount 9
Press and hold 3. Specifically, this elastic biasing force acts in the direction opposite to the direction in which the tape-shaped mount 93 is being transported (clockwise in FIG. 1).

Next, the functions of these two mount pressing members 40 and 60 will be explained.

This is the pressure holding member No. 3.

That is, before this label cassette l is set in the label pasting machine 50, the holder 44 portion is pressed by the spring 43, and the first mount presser member 40 and the rotary mount presser member 20 are held together. A tape-shaped mount 93 is pressed and held in between.

Second mount pressing member 60 provided in the label pasting machine 50
is the label holding after the label cassette l is set in the label pasting machine 50, and the member 60 is held as described above.
This elastically biases the bottom 2 of the label cassette 1, and has the effect of preventing the backflow of the tape-shaped mount 93 after being transported.

Incidentally, when the label cassette l with the tape-shaped label 91 set therein is loaded into the label pasting machine 50.

The locking tongue piece 41 of the first mount pressing member 40 provided on the cassette 1 comes into contact with the release member 59 provided at the bottom of the label pasting machine 50, and the state of suppressing and holding the tape-shaped mount 93 is released. A mount passage 70 is formed between the rotating mount pressing member 20 and the rotating mount pressing member 20 .

Therefore, the tape-like mount 93 after the label cassette l is loaded onto the label pasting a50 becomes free from the first mount pressing member 40, so that the means for releasing the pressure required when pulling one mount becomes unnecessary. ing.

The means for transporting the tape-like mount 93 is a transport claw 54 provided at the bottom of the labeling machine 50 shown in FIG. The transfer claw 54 reciprocates horizontally within the machine in conjunction with the gripping and releasing operations of the hunt lever 53. This reciprocating transfer claw 54 engages with a transfer notch provided in the tape-shaped mount 93 only during forward movement, and pulls the mount 93. Therefore, the label 92 is peeled off from the turning bin 4 portion of the label cassette 1, and the label is applied to a desired product using the application roller 57.

Incidentally, there are multiple transfer claws 5 in an independent state in the labeling machine 50.
4 is fitted onto the mounting shaft 55, and a spring 56 is interposed therebetween, and this bias is in the direction opposite to the direction in which the tape-shaped mount 93 is transported. The plurality of independent transfer claws 54 engage with each transfer notch in the tape-shaped mount 93 and pull this mount, but each of the transfer notches has an incomplete cut in a part. The structure is such that the purpose of pulling the mount can be achieved even if a portion of the transfer claw 54 does not engage with this incomplete cut.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the label cassette l is equipped with a label width regulating member lO with a knob 11 for regulating the width size of the rolled label 90, and the plate-shaped regulating part 12
This is to guide the regulation of the roll part of the label.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 1O and FIG. 1, the bottom portion 51 of the label pasting machine 50 is provided with a third mount holding member 64 having a grid-like slit 65. The third mount pressing member 64 is attached to the bottom 51 of the label pasting machine 50, and the third mount pressing member 64 is attached to the bottom 51 of the label pasting machine 50, and the third mount pressing member 64 is attached to the bottom 51 of the label pasting machine 50, and the third mount pressing member 64 is attached to the bottom 51 of the label pasting machine 50, and the third mount pressing member 64 is attached to the bottom 51 of the label pasting machine 50.
This is to hold a tape-shaped mount 93 located between.

Specifically, this third liner pressing member 64 has a front locking portion 66 that is connected to a locking groove 68 formed in the bottom portion 51 of the label pasting machine 50, and a rear locking portion 67 that is horizontally mounted to the bottom portion 51 of the label pasting machine 50. The support shafts 69 are respectively fitted onto the support shafts 69 and secured to the bottom portion 51 . In the plurality of lattice-like slits 65 of this third mount holding member 64, there are a plurality of transfer claws 5.
4 is housed therein, and the transfer claw 54 reciprocates within this grid in conjunction with grasping and release of the hand lever 53.

In other words, the drive gear 71 that is synchronized with the hand lever 53 meshes with the driven gear 72, and the rotation of the driven gear 72 is transmitted through the link members 73 and 74 to reciprocate the mounting shaft 55 on which each independent transfer claw 54 is attached. This is the configuration that converts it to .

(Effects of the Invention) (1) As described above, the tape-shaped mount holding mechanism of the present invention holds the tape-shaped mount after label peeling on the detachable label cassette 1 side of the label pasting machine 50.
