Abstract

A tachograph has a cubic housing and a printing device having a thermal print head, a feed roller driven by a drive mechanism and a carrier movable out of the housing to reload a ribbon which forms a stock of printing material. Locking means lock and unlock the carrier in a closed position in the housing. A latch element is mounted rotatably on the carrier and subjected to an action of a tension spring. A snap-in hook of the latch element is associated with a snap-in member in a fixed position. An actuating arm is formed with the latch element, and a pushbutton is configured to be in operative connection with the actuating arm and mounted displaceably on the carrier. A fixed stop associated with the actuating arm disengages the latch element from the snap-in member when the pushbutton is actuated, and displaces the carrier in a direction of an insertion position when the actuating arm is supported on the stop.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fahrtschreiber mit einem quaderförmigen Gehäuse und einer Druckvorrichtung, welche einen Thermodruckkopf, eine von einem Laufwerk angetriebene Transportwalze und einen aus dem Gehäuse herausbewegbaren, dem Nachladen eines den Druckmaterialvorrat bildenden Bandwickels dienenden Träger umfasst, sowie mit Mitteln zum Verriegeln und Entriegeln des Trägers in dessen Schließstellung im Gehäuse des Fahrtschreibers.The invention relates to a tachograph with a cuboid housing and a printing device, which a thermal print head, one driven by a drive Transport roller and a herausbewegbaren from the housing, reloading a supply of printing material Bandwickels serving carrier includes, as well as means for Lock and unlock the carrier in its Closed position in the tachograph housing.

Fahrtschreiber, welche nicht für die Verwendung von Diagrammscheiben als Aufzeichnungsträger ausgerüstet sind, sondern bei welchen die ermittelten Fahrt- und Arbeitszeitdaten in entsprechend ausgebildeten Massenspeichern abgelegt werden, machen für die Dokumentation in Form eines visuell lesbaren Beleges geeignete Druckvorrichtungen erforderlich, die innerhalb der Fahrtschreiber angeordnet werden müssen, da in einem Fahrerhaus eines Nutzfahrzeuges Freiraum für den Einbau eines selbständigen, mit dem Fahrtschreiber korrespondierenden Druckers im Allgemeinen nicht gegeben ist. Wird ein solcher Fahrtschreiber mit einer Druckvorrichtung ausgerüstet, die im Gegensatz zur Verwendung von vorsteckbaren, kartenförmigen Druckträgern ein Druckprinzip mit streifen- bzw. bandförmigem Druckmaterial vorsieht, ist es erforderlich, dass die betreffende Druckvorrichtung mit dem Druckmaterialvorrat geladen und der Anfangsabschnitt des Druckmaterials in Druckposition gebracht wird. Problematisch ist jedoch, dass Fahrtschreiber in der Regel als Einbaugeräte konzipiert und somit frontwandbündig eingebaut sind, d.h., dass lediglich ein frontseitiger Zugang zum Nachladen des Druckmaterialvorrats unter Verwendung eines schubladenartig verschiebbaren oder frontseitig aufschwenk- /aufklappbaren Trägers möglich ist. Dabei kommt im Einsatzmilieu eines Fahrtschreibers, wo erhebliche Schwingungs- und Schockbelastungen auftreten, den dem Träger zugeordneten Ver- und Entriegelungsmitteln eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu.Tachograph, which is not for the use of Chart discs are equipped as record carriers, but in which the determined journey and Working time data in appropriately trained Mass storage will be filed for documentation in the form of a visually readable document suitable Printing devices required within the Tachographs need to be arranged, as in one Cab of a commercial vehicle free space for the installation of a independent, corresponding to the tachograph Printer is generally not given. Will one Tachograph equipped with a printing device in the Contrary to the use of vorsteckbaren, card-shaped Print media a printing principle with strip or band-shaped Printing material, it is necessary that the pertinent printing device with the print material supply loaded and the beginning section of the printing material in Printing position is brought. The problem is, however, that Tachographs are usually designed as built-in appliances and are thus installed front wall flush, that is, that only a front-side access to reload the Media stock using a drawer style sliding or front swiveling / hinged Carrier is possible. Here comes in the Einsatzmilieu one Tachograph where significant vibration and Shock loads occur, the carrier assigned to the carrier and unlocking means of crucial importance.

Mit der DE-U 29720521 und DE-U 20101836 sind Fahrtschreiber bekannt geworden, bei denen für die Aufnahme der gesamten Druckvorrichtung ein schubladenartiger Träger vorgesehen ist, welchem ein bistabiles Rastgetriebe zugeordnet ist. Im Falle, dass Druckmaterial nachgefüllt werden muss, wird durch Betätigen der als Taste dienenden Frontplatte des Trägers der Träger entriegelt und beim Loslassen der Frontplatte in die Einlegeposition verschoben. Das bistabile Rastgetriebe setzt eine, abgesehen vom Aufwand und einer bedingt durch die nicht unerhebliche Masse des Trägers unsicheren Funktion hinsichtlich Schocksicherheit, Bewegbarkeit des Trägers im verriegeltem Zustand in Richtung der Rückwand des Gehäuses des Fahrtschreibers voraus, was eine Abdichtung der Frontplatte gegenüber der Frontwand des Fahrtschreibers im verriegelten Zustand des Trägers erheblich erschwert. Gleiches gilt auch für die in der DE-U 29920901 beschriebene Druckvorrichtung, bei der der Thermodruckkopf ortsfest im Gehäuse des Fahrtschreibers angeordnet ist und die im Träger gelagerte Transportwalze nach jedem Einsetzten eines Bandwickels beim Schließen des Trägers wieder in Wirkverbindung mit dem Thermodruckkopf gebracht werden muss. Bei diesem Konzept einer Druckvorrichtung behindert die relativ hohe Andruckkraft des Thermodruckkopfes die Bewegungsfähigkeit des Trägers, so dass das Rastgetriebe mit einer extrem starken Auswerffeder ausgerüstet werden oder der Träger nach dem Entriegeln von Hand herausgezogen werden muss, was von einer unvorteilhaften Handhabung abgesehen, an der Frontplatte des Trägers vorzusehende, ästhetisch ungünstige Greifmittel erforderlich macht.Tachographs are known from DE-U 29720521 and DE-U 20101836 have become responsible for taking up the entire Printing device is provided a drawer-like support, which is associated with a bistable latching gear. In the event of, that printing material must be refilled is through Actuating the front panel of the wearer as the button Carrier unlocked and when releasing the front panel in the Loading position shifted. The bistable detent gear sets one, apart from the effort and one due to not insignificant mass of the carrier unsafe function in terms of shock safety, mobility of the vehicle in the Locked state towards the rear wall of the housing ahead of the tacho what a seal of the Front panel opposite the front wall of the tachograph Locked condition of the carrier considerably more difficult. The same applies to those described in DE-U 29920901 Printing device in which the thermal print head stationary in Housing of the tachograph is arranged and in the carrier mounted transport roller after each insertion of a Tape wraps when closing the carrier back in Active connection with the thermal print head must be brought. In this concept of a printing device hinders the relatively high pressure force of the thermal printhead the Movement of the carrier, so that the locking gear with an extremely strong Auswerffeder be equipped or the Carrier to be pulled out after unlocking by hand must, apart from a disadvantageous handling, on the front panel of the wearer, aesthetically pleasing unfavorable gripping means required.

Die der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe bestand somit darin, für eine in einem Fahrtschreiber verwendete Druckvorrichtung gattungsgemäßer Art funktionssichere und bezüglich der Entriegelung auf einfache Weise handhabbare Verriegelungsmittel zu schaffen, welche mit einfachen und auf einfache Weise montierbaren Bauteilen den Anforderungen der Serienfertigung gerecht werden.The object underlying the present invention So it was for a tachograph used printing device of the generic type functionally reliable and with respect to the unlocking on simple Way to create manageable locking means which with simple and easy to install components Meet the requirements of series production.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass beiderseits des Trägers Riegelelemente vorgesehen sind und dass die Riegelelemente auf einer in dem Träger gelagerten Welle befestigt sind, dass an dem Betätigungsarm ein Stift befestigt ist und dass die Taste mit einer dem Stift zugeordneten schiefen Ebene versehen ist, dass wenigstens einem Riegelelement ein die Schließstellung des Trägers meldender Schalter zugeordnet ist und dass auf dem Träger ein vorzugsweise mit der Rückwand des Fahrtschreibers zusammenwirkendes, gefedert gelagertes Schubglied angeordnet ist.An advantageous development of the invention is characterized characterized in that on both sides of the carrier locking elements are provided and that the locking elements on one in the Carrier mounted shaft are attached to that Actuating arm is a pin attached and that the button with an oblique plane associated with the pin is provided, that at least one locking element a the closed position is assigned to the carrier signaling switch and that on the support a preferably with the rear wall of the Tachograph cooperating, spring-mounted Thrust member is arranged.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht in Verbindung mit einer Druckvorrichtung, bei der der unter der Wirkung einer Feder stehenden Thermodruckkopf in einer an der Deckelplatte des Gehäuses des Fahrtschreibers befestigten Lagerbrücke schwenkbar gelagert ist und die Transportwalze und das Laufwerk dem Träger zugeordnet sind, wobei in der Schließstellung des Trägers die Transportwalze sich unter dem federnd auf ihr aufliegenden Thermodruckkopf an der Lagerbrücke ausgebildeten Haltearmen abstützt, vor, dass die den Riegelelementen zugeordneten Rastglieder und Anschläge an den Schenkeln der Lagerbrücke angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet sind.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides in Connection with a printing device in which the under Effect of a spring-standing thermal print head in one at the Attached cover plate of the housing of the tachograph Bearing bridge is pivotally mounted and the transport roller and the drive associated with the carrier, wherein in the Closed position of the carrier, the transport roller under the springy on her resting thermal print head on the Bearing bridge trained holding arms is supported, before, that the the locking elements associated latching members and stops on arranged or formed the legs of the bearing bridge are.

Das bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel kann ferner dadurch weitergebildet sein, dass den im Gestell des Laufwerkes angeordneten Lagerbuchsen der Transportwalze an den Haltearmen ausgebildete Keilflächen und Rastnasen zugeordnet sind und dass die Führung des Trägers ein dem Hub der Rastnasen entsprechendes Spiel aufweist.The preferred embodiment may further characterized be further developed that in the frame of the drive arranged bearing bushes of the transport roller to the Holding arms trained wedge surfaces and locking lugs assigned and that the leadership of the carrier is a hub of the Has locking lugs corresponding game.

Denkbar ist außerdem, dass bei einer Druckvorrichtung gemäß dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel für die Lagerbuchsen der Transportwalze in der Lagerbrücke Fassungen ausgebildet werden derart, dass im Zusammenwirken mit dem federnd auf der Transportwalze aufliegenden Thermodruckkopf für die Transportwalze und somit für den Träger eine spielfreie Rastverbindung gegeben ist und die Riegelelemente nicht zwingend erforderlich sind. D.h., es sind lediglich die Entriegelungsmittel vorzusehen, um beim Betätigen der Taste ein Herausheben der Lagerbuchsen aus den Fassungen und ein Verschieben des Trägers in Richtung Einlegeposition zu erzielen, wobei eine im Rückraum des Trägers vorgesehene Schubeinrichtung den Träger nach dem Loslassen der Taste in eine Greifposition verschiebt. Ist eine Schubeinrichtung nicht vorgesehen, so kann der entriegelte Träger mittels in geeigneter Weise an der Frontplatte ausgebildeter Greifmittel in die Einlegeposition aus dem Fahrtschreiber herausgezogen werden.It is also conceivable that in a printing device according to the preferred embodiment of the bushings of Transport roller formed in the bearing bridge sockets be such that in cooperation with the spring on the Transport roller overlying thermal print head for the Transport roller and thus a play-free for the wearer Locking connection is given and the locking elements are not are mandatory. That is, they are only the Provide unlocking means to when pressing the button a lifting out the bushings from the versions and a Move the carrier in the direction of insertion position achieve, with one provided in the rear space of the wearer Push device the carrier after releasing the button in moves a gripping position. Is a pushing device not provided, the unlocked carrier by means of in suitably formed on the front panel gripping means pulled out in the insertion position from the tachograph become.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gehen aus der Beschreibung der beigefügten Zeichnungen und aus den vorstehend nicht zitierten Ansprüchen hervor.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are intended the description of the attached drawings and from the claims not cited above.

Die Erfindung bietet, abgesehen davon, dass sie die gestellte Aufgabe zufriedenstellend löst, den Vorteil der Anwendbarkeit sowohl bei einem baulichen Konzept, bei dem die gesamte Druckvorrichtung dem Träger zugeordnet ist, wobei im Gehäuse des betreffenden Fahrtschreibers geeignete Vorkehrungen zum Ausbilden der Anschläge und Rastglieder getroffen werden müssen als auch bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel, welches im Falle des Nachladens eines Bandwickels eine Trennung von Thermodruckkopf und Transportwalze vorsieht. Ferner dienen bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel die Riegelelemente dem exakten Ausrichten der Transportwalze auf die Thermoelementeleiste.The invention offers, apart from the fact that they asked Task solves satisfactorily, the advantage of the applicability both in a building concept in which the entire Printing device is associated with the carrier, wherein in the housing appropriate tuition for the tachograph concerned Forming the attacks and locking members are taken as well as in the preferred embodiment, which in the case of reloading a tape roll a Separation of thermal print head and transport roller provides. Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the Bar elements on the exact alignment of the transport roller the thermocouple strip.

Einen besonderen Effekt bietet die Erfindung dadurch, dass beim Entriegeln des Trägers mittels der in der Frontplatte gelagerten Taste zunächst die Riegelelemente verschwenkt werden und nachfolgend, indem sich die Betätigungsarme an den Anschlägen abstützen, durch Kraftumlenkung ein Verschieben des Trägers in Richtung Einlegeposition erfolgt, so dass einerseits beim Loslassen der Taste ein erneutes Verriegeln ausgeschlossen ist andererseits, d.h. bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel, ein Lösen der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen dem Thermodruckkopf und der Transportwalze, gegebenenfalls unter Überwindung eines durch Rastnasen verursachten Druckpunktes, erfolgt. Dabei ermöglicht die Betätigung der Taste von Hand und das Verschwenken der Riegelelemente über eine schiefe Ebene eine an den Riegelelementen angreifende, relativ starke Zugfeder und somit eine ausreichend hohe Schocksicherheit.The invention offers a special effect in that when unlocking the carrier by means of the front panel stored key first pivots the locking elements and subsequently, by the actuating arms to the Support stops, a displacement by force deflection the carrier is in the direction of insertion position, so that on the one hand, when releasing the key, re-locking on the other hand, is excluded, i. at the preferred Embodiment, a release of the non-positive Connection between the thermal print head and the Transport roller, optionally overcoming a through Latches caused pressure point, takes place. there allows the operation of the button by hand and the Swiveling the locking elements over an inclined plane on the locking elements attacking, relatively strong tension spring and thus a sufficiently high shock safety.

Vorteilhaft ist ferner, dass mit der dem Träger zugeordneten Schubeinrichtung nach dem Entriegeln des Trägers und nach dem Freigeben der Taste ein Verschieben des Trägers in eine Greifposition erfolgt. Dabei ist die der Schubeinrichtung zugeordnete Druckfeder derart dimensioniert, dass mit ihr wenigstens die Reibung des Trägers in dessen Führung überwunden wird und somit zu dem beim Schließen des Trägers für das Verschwenken der Riegelelemente und das Anheben des Thermodruckkopfes beim Indruckpositionbringen der Transportwalze notwendigen Kraftaufwand ein nur unwesentlicher zusätzlicher Kraftbedarf erforderlich ist. Erwähnenswert ist außerdem, dass die Schließstellung des Trägers durch unmittelbar den Riegelelementen zugeordnete Schalter signalisiert wird.It is also advantageous that associated with the carrier Push device after unlocking the carrier and after the Release the button to move the carrier into one Gripping position takes place. It is the thrust device associated compression spring dimensioned such that with her at least the friction of the carrier in its leadership is overcome and thus to the closing of the carrier for pivoting the locking elements and lifting the Thermal print head Indruckpositionbringen the Transport roller necessary force only insignificant additional power requirement is required. It is also worth noting that the closed position of the Carrier by directly assigned to the locking elements Switch is signaled.

Dabei ist ersichtlich, dass die Riegel 58 mittels der Rasthaken 59 unter der Wirkung der Zugfeder 55 die als Rastglieder vorgesehenen Bolzen 75 hintergreifen und gleichzeitig mit den Schaltern 74 in Wirkverbindung stehen. Außerdem wirkt auf die Rasthaken 59 eine Druckfeder 81 der Schubeinrichtung 80 ein. Ferner zeigt die Figur 3, dass in der Schließstellung des Trägers 28 zwischen den Gleitflächen 61 der Betätigungsarme 60 und den als Anschläge dienenden Lappen 76 ein Abstand a besteht. Mit 82 ist ein an der Rückwand 8 angebrachter Gewindezapfen bezeichnet, der dem Ausrichten des Fahrtschreibers 1 bei dessen Einbau dient.The shortened side view, Figure 3, shows in the Closed position of the carrier 28, in which the transport roller 41st or the bearing bushes 45 of the shaft 40 of the transport roller 41st are received on the support arms 79 of the bearing bridge 63, wherein the support arms 79 between the legs 43, 44 of the Frames 42 and formed on the bearing bushes 45 Straightening discs 46, 47 intervene, on the one hand with cutouts D of side wall 6 and component 13 and E of the front panel. 3 the assignment of the components located in the carrier 28 the stationary in the installation housing part 2 arranged components in the closed position of the carrier 28, on the other hand with a Free cut F of the lid part 4 is a section of the carrier 28th and the pusher 80 associated therewith in accordance with Section line G in Figure 4. It can be seen that the Latch 58 by means of the latch hook 59 under the effect of Tension spring 55 provided as locking members pin 75th engage behind and at the same time with the switches 74 in Active compound stand. In addition, acts on the latch hook 59th a compression spring 81 of the thruster 80 a. Further shows 3, that in the closed position of the carrier 28th between the sliding surfaces 61 of the actuating arms 60 and the serving as stops flap 76 is a distance a. With 82 is attached to the rear wall 8 threaded pin designated, the alignment of the tachograph 1 at its installation serves.

Wie der Figur 4, insbesondere dem Freischnitt H in der Deckelplatte 17 entnommen werden kann, ist die Schubeinrichtung 80 in einem Rahmen 83 des zur Versteifung verstrebten und gekammerten Trägers 28 angeordnet. D.h., an einem als Schubglied dienenden Stößel 84 mit einem Stößelkopf 85 und einem die Druckfeder 81 lagernden Schaft 86 sind Fangarme 87 und 88 unmittelbar angeformt. Die Fangarme 87, 88 sind in dem Rahmen 83 geführt und dienen in Verbindung mit einer nicht näher bezeichneten Wand des Rahmens 83, durch die sie hindurchgeführt sind, der Hubbegrenzung des Stößels 84. Die Montage der Schubeinrichtung 80, die indem sich der Stößelkopf 85 unter der Wirkung der Druckfeder 81 an der Rückwand 8 des Fahrtschreibers 1 abstützt, nach dem Entriegeln ein Verschieben des Trägers 28 in eine Greifposition bewirkt, erfolgt in einfacher Weise dadurch, dass nach dem Aufstecken der Druckfeder 81 auf den Schaft 86, die Schubeinrichtung 80 in den Rahmen 83 eingeschoben und mittels der Fangarme 87, 88 auf dem Träger 28 gehaltert wird. Am Träger 28 ausgebildete Klinkenelemente dienen der Sicherung der Fangarme 87, 88, wenn diese beim Verschieben des Trägers 28 in die Halteposition kommen.As the figure 4, in particular the cut H in the Cover plate 17 can be removed, is the Pusher 80 in a frame 83 of the stiffening braced and chambered beam 28 arranged. That is, on a serving as a pusher ram 84 with a plunger head 85 and a compression spring 81 superimposed shaft 86 are Tentacles 87 and 88 formed directly. The tentacles 87, 88 are guided in the frame 83 and are used in conjunction with an unspecified wall of the frame 83 through which they are passed, the stroke limit of the plunger 84th The assembly of the thrust device 80, which by the Plunger head 85 under the action of the compression spring 81 at the Rear wall 8 of the tachograph 1 is supported, after the Unlock a displacement of the carrier 28 in one Gripping position effected in a simple manner, that after attaching the compression spring 81 to the shaft 86, pushed the pusher 80 in the frame 83 and is held by means of the tentacles 87, 88 on the carrier 28. On the carrier 28 trained latch members are used Securing the tentacles 87, 88 when they move of the carrier 28 come into the holding position.

Im Folgenden sei die Funktion des Entriegelns des Trägers 28 nochmals kurz zusammengefasst. Wird sichtbar, dass Druckmaterial in Form eines neuen Bandwickels 29 nachgefüllt werden muss, so wird durch Betätigen der Taste 38 der Träger 28 zunächst entriegelt. Beim Loslassen der Taste 38 verschiebt die Schubeinrichtung 80 den Träger in eine Greifposition. Danach lässt sich der Träger 28 - die Frontplatte 35 dient als Griffelement- in die Einlegeposition, die durch einen geeigneten, nicht dargestellten Anschlag bestimmt ist, aus dem Gerät herausziehen. Nach dem Einsetzen eines neuen Bandwickels 29 kann der Träger 28 durch Druck auf die Frontplatte 35 wieder in das Gerät zurückgeschoben werden, wobei das freie Ende des Druckträgers 73 so weit vom Bandwickel 29 abgezogen wird, dass es vor dem Einrasten der Riegelelemente 50, 51 und dem Indruckpositionkommen der Transportwalze 41 wenigstens die Transportwalze 41 überlappt. Im einzelnen besteht beim Betätigen der Taste 38 zum Entriegeln des Trägers 28 folgender Funktionsablauf. Zunächst werden, indem der Stift 53 auf der schiefen Ebene 54 der Taste 38 entlanggleitet, die auf der gemeinsamen Welle 52 befestigten Riegelelemente 50, 51 entgegen der Wirkung der Zugfeder 55 in Pfeilrichtung P verschwenkt und dadurch die Verriegelung zwischen den Bolzen 75 und den Rasthaken 59 gelöst. Nach dem Durchlaufen des Abstandes a treffen die Betätigungsarme 60 auf die Lappen 76 auf. Dabei entsteht aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Abstandes zwischen der Welle 52 und den Auftreffpunkten der Betätigungsarme 60 auf den Lappen 76 einerseits und zwischen der Welle 52 und dem Stift 53 andererseits ein zweiarmiger Hebel. Letzterer bewirkt, indem sich beim weiteren Betätigen der Taste 38 die Gleitflächen 61 der Betätigungsarme 60 auf denn ortsfesten Lappen 76 abstützen, dass der Träger 28 durch Kraftumlenkung in Richtung Einlegeposition verschoben wird. Gleichzeitig werden, was ein gewisses Spiel zwischen den Führungsschienen 33, 34 und den Wangen 31, 32 des Trägers 28 oder eine gewisse Schwenkbarkeit der Transportwalze 41 um das sich treibende Zahnrad des Laufwerkes voraussetzt, die Lagerbuchsen 45 der Welle 40 der Transportwalze 41 über die Rastnasen 78 geschoben und damit die Transportwalze 41 außer Kraftschluss mit dem Thermodruckkopf 48 gebracht. In dieser Situation wirkt die Schubeinrichtung 80, deren Gesamthub in Figur 4 mit b bezeichnet ist, derart, dass der nicht dargestellte Boden einer an der Frontwand 35 ausgebildeten, der Führung der Taste 38 dienenden Kammer, durch die ein Schaft 91 der Taste 38 durchgreift, an der noch festgehaltenen Taste 38 anschlägt und beim Loslassen der Taste 38 der Träger 28 in die Greifposition, bei der die Fangarme 87, 88 an dem Rahmen 83 anliegen, verschoben wird. Im Gegensatz zu der im Figur 2 gewählten Ausbildung der Taste 38 kann die Taste 38 auch eindeutig ausgebildet sein, d.h. mit einem flachprofilierten Schaft 91, an dem stirnseitig die schiefe Ebene 54 ausgebildet ist, versehen sein.In the following, the function of unlocking the carrier 28 briefly summarized. Will visible that Refilled printing material in the form of a new tape roll 29 must be, so by pressing the key 38 of the carrier 28 unlocked first. When you release the button 38 the pusher 80 moves the carrier into a Gripping position. Thereafter, the carrier 28 - the Front plate 35 serves as Griffelement- in the Loading position by a suitable, not stop is determined from the device pull out. After inserting a new tape roll 29 can the carrier 28 by pressing the front panel 35 again pushed back into the unit, with the free end of the Print carrier 73 is withdrawn so far from the tape winding 29, that it is prior to the latching of the locking elements 50, 51 and the Indruckpositionkommen the transport roller 41 at least the Transport roller 41 overlaps. In detail, there is Press the button 38 to unlock the carrier 28th following functional sequence. First, be by the pin 53 slides on the inclined plane 54 of the key 38, the on the common shaft 52 fastened locking elements 50, 51 against the action of the tension spring 55 in the direction of arrow P. pivots and thereby the lock between the bolts 75 and the latch hook 59 solved. After going through the Distance a hit the actuator arms 60 on the tabs 76th on. This arises because of the different distance between the shaft 52 and the impact points of the Actuation arms 60 on the lobes 76 on the one hand and between the shaft 52 and the pin 53 on the other hand, a two-armed Lever. The latter causes by pressing on further the key 38, the sliding surfaces 61 of the actuating arms 60 on because fixed tabs 76 support that the carrier 28 by Force deflection is shifted in the direction of insertion position. At the same time, what a certain game between the Guide rails 33, 34 and the cheeks 31, 32 of the carrier 28th or a certain pivoting of the transport roller 41 to the presuming driving gear of the drive, the Bushings 45 of the shaft 40 of the transport roller 41 on the Latch 78 pushed and thus the feed roller 41 except Force fit with the thermal print head 48 brought. In this Situation affects the thruster 80 whose total stroke in Figure 4 is denoted by b, such that the not illustrated bottom of a formed on the front wall 35, the leadership of the button 38 serving chamber through which a Shank 91 of the key 38 passes through, at the still fixed key 38 stops and when you release the Button 38 of the carrier 28 in the gripping position, in which the Catch arms 87, 88 abut the frame 83, is moved. In contrast to the design of the key selected in FIG 38, key 38 may also be unique, i. with a flat profiled shaft 91, on the front side of the inclined plane 54 is formed, be provided.

    in that unlocking elements which are fastened on a shaft (52) mounted rotatably in the carrier (28) and are subjected to the action of a tension spring (55) are provided,
    in that a pushbutton (38) which is actively connected to one of the unlocking elements is mounted displaceably on the carrier (28), and
    in that stops (76) which are assigned to the unlocking elements are formed on the limbs (62) of the bearing bridge (63) in such a manner that, when the pushbutton (38) is actuated, a deflection of force causes the bearing bushings to be lifted out of the holders and the carrier (28) to be displaced in the direction of the insertion position.
