Definitions

the invention relates to a labeller for linerless labels according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
a semi-automatic dispenser for linerless labels in which the printed adhesive tape is conveyed through the nip of a first pair of rollers and downstream of this conveying direction, a cutting device is arranged. In order to avoid accidental falling out of a cut-off label down from the downwardly open device, this device provides a holding device for the cut-off label. While it is apparent from the text of this document on page 9, it is preferred that for holding the labels during cutting and thereafter it is preferred that biasing means be provided for biasing the adhesive surface of a label in contact with a fastener.
said device does not cut at a standstill, but during the advancement of the label tape.
the invention is therefore based on the DE 696 17 386 T2 the task of keeping a tape to be cut off in the cutting device under tension.
the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.
An essential feature of the invention is that upstream and downstream of a pair of rollers is arranged so that the cutting blade is arranged in the space between a first and a second pair of rollers, and that a tensile stress on the cut off tape in the region of the cutting device between the first and the second nip of the first and second roller pair is generated.
the transfer speed of the transfer device is slightly greater than or equal to the delivery speed of the second outlet side of the cutting device arranged nip.
the cutting device is arranged between the first and the second roller pair and is cut in the state. This ensures that the label is not tilted and distorted during cutting, because it is held and fixed by the outlet side second nip.
this second pair of rollers is driven and the drive speed of this second pair of rollers is slightly larger than the drive speed of the first pair of rollers.
the single drive motor does not synchronously drive all four rollers of the two roller pairs, but only for example the respective upper roller or respective lower roller of the respective roller pair.
the synchronous drive of all four rolls is preferred because it prevents the glue, which passes over a roll, in each case one roll pair runs, does not lead to an unacceptable and unwanted slip on the tape.
an adhesive tape 1 which consists of a multi-layer composite, which consists in the embodiment shown of a film side 30, which may consist of paper or plastic, wherein the pressure takes place either in the space between the bottom of the film side and the glue side 8 or on the top of the film side 30 is present.
This adhesive tape 1 is guided in the direction of arrow 3 over a first guide roller 2, and the large wrap angle, a good transport of the adhesive tape 1 is achieved.
the guide roller 2 can be driven or not driven.
deflection roller 2 is vertically offset and arranged above the upper roller of a first pair of rollers 4, results in a very large wrap angle for the uppermost role of the first pair of rollers 4. This undesirable slippage is substantially reduced.
the first pair of rollers 4 thus forms the first nip 5, through which the adhesive tape 1 is transported therethrough.
a second pair of rollers 14 is arranged, which in turn forms a second nip 13.
the cutting device is now arranged according to the invention, which consists in the embodiment shown of a linear cutter, wherein a displaceable in the direction of arrows 31 driven cutting blade 7 is linearly movable and is guided against a fixed counter blade 6, which is arranged below the adhesive tape 1.
the invention is not limited to the fact that the cutting blade 7 cuts on the paper side 30. It may be provided in another embodiment that counter blade and cutting blade are interchanged with each other, so that the cutting blade 7 intersects on the glue side 8 and the counter blade is arranged opposite to the paper side 30.
all rolls of all pairs of rolls 4, 14 are driven synchronously with a single drive motor, but that the diameter of the rolls of the second roll pair 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rolls of the first roll pair 4.
the diameter difference between the diameter of the rollers of the first pair of rollers 4 and the rollers of the second pair of rollers 14 is in the range of 0.1 to 5%.
the cut label 18 is further promoted in the direction of arrow 3 against a transfer device 15, which consists in the embodiment shown of a suction belt 32, which in Arrow direction 16 is driven and which is guided over the pulleys 17, 33, 34.
suction belt operating with vacuum
transfer belt operating with electrostatic attractive forces and the like.
the drive speed at the deflection rollers 17, 33, 34 (in the direction of arrow 16) is selected to be slightly greater than the speed with which the cut-off label 18 leaves the second nip 14. This ensures that the cut-off label 18 is always pulled lightly during transfer to the transfer device and never pushed.
the now cut label 20 is applied to a product 22, which is guided in the direction of arrow 23 on a conveyor belt 21.
the sensor 35 detects the presence of the product 22 on the conveyor belt 21. It thus triggers the labeling process and the start of the drive of the transfer device 15.
the leading edge of the foremost label 20 in FIG. 2 meets the top of the product 22 when the speed of the transfer device in the direction of arrow 16 is synchronous with the speed in the direction of arrow 23 on the conveyor belt 21.
the drive of the transfer device 15 stops when the leading edge of the subsequent label 19 comes into the region of the sensor 28.
the control of the drive for the transmission device 15 has incorporated a certain delay time.
the sensor 25 detects a print mark on the adhesive tape 1 and upon detection of this print mark, the entire drive of the roller pairs 4, 14 is stopped. Immediately after stopping is cut, the cutting operation (movement of the cutting blade 7) is detected by the sensor 26.
the sensor 26 has the task of recognizing the lowered cutting blade and starts the further feed drive of the roller pairs 4, 14, when the cutting blade 7 has been released from the adhesive tape 1 again.
the sensor 25 does not only have to recognize a print mark, but other recognition features can also be provided on the adhesive tape 1, to which the sensor 25 reacts.
a guide track 24 is provided for supporting storage of the cut-off label 18.
Such guideways 24 may also be arranged at other locations of the transport process of the adhesive tape 1.
such a guideway can also be provided upstream of the first pair of rollers 4.
Such a guideway may also be arranged between the roller pairs in the region of the cutting device.
the speed of the transmission device 15 is synchronized with the speed of the conveyor belt 21. If, for example, the speed of the conveyor belt 21 is reduced and thus the flow of the products 22 past the labeling device, then the speed of a transfer device 15 is also reduced in order to always achieve a synchronous movement when gluing a label 20 onto the product 22. This will prevent a label from being creased onto the product.
