DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a cartridge 10 for label according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The cartridge 10 includes side plates 12a and 12b. The side plates 12a and 12b are connected at regular intervals with connecting members (not shown) of a square pole configuration, which number is four made by two at the front end and two at the rear end.
A circular opening (not shown) is formed through each 204078~

of the side plates 12a and 12b. As shown in Fig. 2, a cylindrical holding member 14a is inserted through the opening of the side plate 12a and a cylindrical holding member 14b is inserted through the opening of of the side plate 12b. The holding member 14a is supported by a supporting plate 16a. The holding member 14b is supported by a supporting plate 16b. The supporting plates 16a and 16b are made of a metal plate having a spring tension. A
supporting portion 18a is formed in the lower portion of the supporting plate 16a. A supporting portion 18b is formed in the lower portion of the supporting plate 16b.
The supporting plates 16a and 16b can be opened outward. The supporting plates 16a and 16b are closed due to its spring tension except when a label-continued sheet 38 is mounted on the cartridge 10. The supporting portion 18a supports the supporting plate 16a and the supporting portion 18b suppoxts the supporting plate 16b when the supporting plates 16a and 16b are opened outward.
Moreover, a roller 20, a folding shaft 22, and a guide shaft 24 are provided between the side plates 12a and 12b such that they are in the vicinity of one end portion thereof. The roller 20, the folding shaft 22, and the guide shaft 24 are adjacent to each other. The folding shaft 22 i8 at a projecting position compared with the roller 20 and the guide shaft 24.
2~07~

An elastic portion 26 consisting of a plate bent perpendicularly is spaced at a short distance from the roller 20, the folding shaft 22, and the guide shaft 24.
The elastic portion 26 is pressed against the roller 20.
As shown in Figs. 3, a projection 28 consisting of a plate bent perpendicularly is formed below the cartridge 10 on the side of the roller 20 and a projection 30 consisting of a plate bent perpendicularly is formed on the other side of the cartridge 10.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the cartridge 10 during use. The cartridge 10 is mounted on the upper portion of a dispenser 32.
As shown in Fig. 5, cylindrical engaging portions 34a and 34b of a small diameter are formed on the upper portion of the dispenser 32. As shown in Fig. 6, a slip preventing portion 36 consisting of synthetic rubber is formed on the back surface of the dispenser 32.
As shown in Fig. 1, the rolled label-continued sheet 38 is held by the holding members 14a and 14b. The label-continued sheet 38 includes a release base paper 40. Labels 42 are releasably adhered to the release base paper 40.
When one end of the label-continued sheet 38 held by the holding members 14a and 14b is pulled, the label-continued sheet 38 is unrolled from one end thereof and fed from the roller 20 to the folding shaft 22. The label-continued sheet 38 is folded by the folding shaft 22 and asa result, the label 42 is released from the release base paper 40. The release base paper 40 is then fed to the guide shaft 24. The release base paper 40 is held by the guide shaft 24.
The cartridge 10 can be mounted on the dispenser 32 very easily by engaging the projection 28 of the cartridge 10 on the engaging portion 34a of the dispenser 32 and the projection 30 of the former on the engaging portion 34b of the latter.
When one end of the label-continued sheet 38 is pulled, the dispenser 32 does not move because the slip preventing portion 36 prevents the dispenser 32 from moving.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the cartridge 10 mounted on the dispenser 32 in accordance with another embodiment.
The dispenser 32 includes two engaging portions 34c and 34d for fixing the cartridge 1~ thereto and a supporting base 4g. The supporting base 44 includes a rectangular frame-shaped base 46. Supporting bars 48a and 48b are formed upward on the base 46. A connecting bar 50 is formed so that the connecting bar connects the supporting bars 48a and 48b with each other. The end portions of each long cylindrical engaging portion 34c and 34d are supported by the supporting bars 48a and 48b.

-` 2~7~8 Two cartridges 10 are mounted on the dispenser 32 as shown in Fig. 7. One or more than two cartridges 10 may be mounted on the dispenser 32. Many cartridges 10 may be mounted on the dispenser 32 by using the long engaging portions 34c and 34d.
Moreover, the dispenser 32 may be used as a means for reserving a plurality of cartridges 10 so that they may be used on a different dispenser.
Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the cartridge 10 mounted on still another embodiment of the dispenser 32.
Cylindrical engaging portions 34e and 34f of a small diameter are formed on an upper portion of the dispenser 32.
A light reflecting type sensor 52 is provided in the vicinity of the folding shaft 22 of the cartridge 10.
Feeding rollers 54a and 54b are provided below the guide shaft 24 of the cartridge 10. A control circuit 56 and a motor 58 are formed inside the dispenser 32. The motor 58 drives the feeding roller 54a. Thus, the release base paper 40 which sandwiched by the feeding rollers 54a and 54b is fed with the rotation of the feeding rollers S4a and 54b.
The sensor 52 detects whether or not the label 42 is positioned above the sensor 52. That is, the sensor 52 detects whether or not the dispenser 32 can be used. When the sensor 52 detects that the label 42 is not positioned above it, the sensor 52 outputs a signal indicating the 20~0788 non-presence of the label 42 to the control circuit 56.
Then, the motor 58 is driven accordlng to the instruction of the control circuit 56. Vpon actuation of the motor 58, the feeding rollers 54a and 54b rotate in the direction in wnich the release base paper 40 is pulled downward.
When the label 42 is positioned above the sensor 52 and can be rsed, the sensor 52 outputs a signal indicating the presence of the dispenser 32 to the control circuit 56.
Upon receipt of the signal, the control circuit 56 issues an instruction for stopping the motor 58. As a result, the feeding rollers 54a and 54b stop rotation.
As described previously, the supporting plates 16a and 16b for supporting the holding members 14a and 14b can be opened outward. The label-continued sheet 38 can be inserted into the cartridge 10 or taken out therefrom by opening the supporting plates 16a and 16b outward. When the supporting plates 16a and 16b are closed by its spring tension, the label-continued sheet 38 can be held by the holding members 14a and 14b. Thus, the label-continued sheet 38 can be easily mounted on the cartridge 10 and taken out therefrom.
As described above, even when different kinds of the label 42 are used, only mounting of the cartridge 10 on the dispenser 32 or dismounting therefrom is required.
Therefore, the label releasing operation can be efficiently --` 20407~8 carried out.
Although the present invention has been fully described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
