Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for selective wetting of printed labels, making it possible to deliver wet or dry printed labels at will.
  • a device for selective wetting of printed labels is intended to equip a machine for franking labels so that the latter, after printing, are delivered moistened and thus directly ready to be affixed and glued to the folds and packages concerned or delivered dry for their subsequent use.
  • the flaps are applied under pressure against a moistening member, during the movement of the successive envelopes entrained by means acting essentially on the body of the envelopes.
  • the wetting member can be constituted by an endless belt, a wick or a rotary drum for transferring wetting liquid from a reservoir, in which the wetting member is partly quenched. For this transfer, the flap is kept applied under pressure against the moistening member.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for selectively wetting printed labels by a franking machine, easily adaptable to the machine and presenting no risk of alteration of the prints which have just been produced.
  • a machine for labels with selective output of printed labels delivered dry or wet comprising a printing drum, a pressure roller associated with the drum, a means for ejecting said printed labels and a moistening element for the printed and desired wet labels, characterized in that it further comprises a switch flap associated with said ejection means and controlled between a first stable position, called high, for which it has no action on said labels then delivered on a first outlet for dry labels and a second stable, so-called low position, for which it deflects the labels towards a second outlet for wet labels, and in that said moistening roller is mounted fixed between said ejection means and said second outlet, with the direction of said flap in the low position interfering with said damping roller, and is driven to develop a speed greater than that given by said ejection means.
  • a separation plate mounted at a distance from said ejection means less than the length of the labels, delimits on either side of it said dry and wet label outlets.
  • said flap is mounted integral with a shaft carrying crazy counter-rollers of the ejection means, with which it is made pivoting by control of a motor coupled to said shaft by a rod-crank system.
  • said flap has a bend substantially in line with the separation plate, defining on the flap an end tab for supporting the flap on the separation plate for the low position of the flap.
  • a chute 3 guides and presents the successive labels, which are to be printed, between the printing drum 1 and its counter-roller 2.
  • Such labels to be printed are taken, advantageously from a length of so-called short label or from so-called long label, on a continuous ribbon and driven to the printing drum 1 and its counter roller 2 in the chute 3.
  • the means of label removal and those ensuring the drive of the ribbon and the labels being as such outside the scope of the present invention, are not described. It is simply pointed out that they may comply with those described in patent application FR-85 06266 or patent application FR-8707912 in the name of the applicant or be in conformity with other known provisions.
  • the chute 3 leaves the labels free for printing.
  • the end of the chute 3 extends slightly downstream of the printing drum and the counter-roller. It ensures, just downstream of the latter, a pre-guiding of the printed labels between an ejection motor roller 5, coupled to a motor 6, and two associated crazy pressure counter-rollers 7, from which the labels are delivered. dry on a first outlet 8 or wet on a second outlet 9.
  • This plate 10 is substantially horizontal and mounted at a distance less than the length of the short labels, relative to the area for taking up the labels between the ejection roller 5 and its counter-rollers 7.
  • the labels printed and guided in the end of the chute receive a slight inflection between the ejection roller and the counter rollers to have a natural ejection trajectory towards the outlet 8.
  • a switch flap 12 is mounted above the ejection roller 5 and the separation plate 10, it extends substantially between them. It is carried by the shaft 13 carrying the two counter rollers 7. These two counter rollers are mounted idly and at a distance from one another to hold the successive labels against the ejection roller by pressure on the longitudinal edges of these labels, avoiding any contact with the printed part.
  • the referral flap 12 is on the other hand made solid of the shaft 13. It has two tabs 14 coming between the two counter rollers 7 and ensuring its connection on the shaft 13.
  • the shaft 13 is advantageously of section for this purpose triangular.
  • the switch flap 12 is thus pivoted about the axis of the counter rollers 7, by rotation of small amplitude of the shaft 13, alternately in one direction and in the other between two possible limit positions.
  • the switch flap 12 is shown in solid lines in one of its two limit positions, known as the high position, for which it extends generally parallel to the separation plate, being horizontal and largely distant. of the plate. It is shown in dotted lines in the other of its limit positions, called the bottom position, for which it extends from the shaft 13 and comes to bear on the end of the separation plate 10.
  • This switch flap has in its end portion an elbow 15.
  • This elbow 15 is at a distance from the shaft 13 substantially equal to that between the shaft 13 and the separation plate 10. It modifies the general direction of the flap in correspondence with the angle between its high and low positions.
  • the end portion downstream of the elbow, designated by the reference 16, constitutes a lug for supporting the flap on the separation plate 10, in the lower position of the flap; this terminal part extends towards the top of the machine, in the upper position of the flap.
  • This same flap 12 also has, at least in its part between the shaft 13 and the elbow 15, two ribs 17 on its underside. These two ribs 17 are substantially in the extension of the two counter-rollers 7. Like the counter-rollers, they are designed to avoid any contact with the part printed on the upper face of the labels, this in particular for the low position of the switching flap, the flap in the high position being practically without action on the labels.
  • a water reserve tank 20 is placed between the ejection roller 5 and the separation plate 10, beneath them. This tank is kept at a constant water level, identified at 21, by any suitable means not shown.
  • a label moistening roller 23 with a horizontal axis partially soaks in the water of the tank 20.
  • the roller 23 has its axis substantially perpendicular to the end, the innermost in the machine thus equipped, of the separation plate 10. It is mounted so that its periphery remains offset from the separation plate 10, delimiting between it and the separation plate an interval very much greater than the thickness of the labels, as shown.
  • the roller 23 is rotated to develop a linear speed greater than that given by the ejection roller 5 and advantageously at least twice this speed.
  • the damping roller 23 is shown driven by the motor 6 coupled to the ejection roller 5 and has a large diameter relative to that of this roller 5.
  • a system of the connecting rod 25 - crank 26 type, controlled by a micro-motor 27, ensures the positioning of the switching flap 12 in one or other of its two positions, depending on whether the printed labels are desired dry or moistened .
  • the connecting rod 25 extends laterally along the switching flap 12; it has one of its ends coupled to the end of the shaft 13 for driving the shaft and has an oblong slot 28 extending towards its other end.
  • the crank 26 is driven by the micro-motor 27 and has its crank 29 kept housed in the lumen 28 of the connecting rod.
  • the connecting rod is thus made pivoting and transmits a rotation movement of small amplitude to the shaft 13 which rotates in correspondence the switching flap 12 between its high and low positions.
  • the micro-motor 27 is controlled by a button, not shown, which is easily accessible to the operator. It ensures by rotation a half-turn of the micro-motor shaft, the passage of the switch flap from the position in which it is located to the other position.
  • the switch flap 12 When the switch flap 12 is in its high position, the successively printed labels are ejected to exit straight and be delivered to the outlet 8, the switch flap 12 is then without action on them.
  • the switch flap 12 When the switch flap 12 is in its low position, it deflects the labels towards the damping roller 23.
  • This roller being arranged so that the direction of the switch flap in the low position interferes with it, the labels deflected by the flap come interfere with the moistening roller, slightly downstream from the highest point of its periphery.
  • the labels thus apply against the roller without any external pressure being exerted on their printed face and receive a curvature directing them on the outlet 9, possibly being further guided on the edge of the tray.
  • the speed of this roller significantly higher than that of the ejection roller, causes the latter to lick the adhesive coated side of the label delivered.
  • the motor 6 is stopped as soon as a wet or dry label is issued. It is restarted after starting the printing cycle of any new label by the printing drum 1, the latter ensuring the printing and advancement of the label to the ejection roller.
  • a logic circuit not shown including the appropriate timers provides these commands for starting and stopping the motor 6.
  • the printed faces of these remain without contact with any pressure maintenance part which does not exist in the machine.
  • the printed faces therefore remain perfectly clear. Consequently also, the franking machine thus equipped does not require any cleaning or change of the parts of its moistening device.
