A label dispenser coupled to product-transporting carts at retail facilities includes a label roll support arm supporting multiple label rolls thereon, a label guide arm including openings that permit a leading portion of the backing substrate of a label roll to pass therethrough, and a side wall interconnecting the label roll support arm and the label guide arm. The label guide arm also includes an upper portion located above the openings and configured to support the backing substrates of the label rolls thereon. The label guide arm further includes an edge configured to facilitate separation of a leading peelable label from the backing substrate in response to a force applied by the user when pulling the leading portion of the backing substrate of the label roll through the opening of the label guide arm.

A self-strip media module in a printer is provided. The self-strip media module includes a peel bar having a length at least as great as the length of a platen roller and being rotatably engaged at the ends of the platen roller. The media includes a series of labels adhered to a liner. The media is fed over the peel bar and between the platen roller and a mid-chassis. The peel bar may be rotated towards the discharge side of the platen roller, pulling the media over the platen roller and over itself. A thermal print head is lowered onto the media over the platen roller and to print on the labels. The printer advances the media over the peel bar. The labels are stripped from the liner when the media advances around the peel bar.

A dispenser dispenses a material that is adhesive on at least one side, wherein at least one adhesive side of the material is covered with a liner, which has at least one slit running in a longitudinal direction, with the material placed on the liner being wound into a roll in the form of an Archimedean spiral and at least one slit being located beneath the material covered with the liner. The dispenser comprises a (i) frame, one end of which has a receptacle for the material, so that the material roll is rotatably mounted, (ii) a first guiding device, by means of which the material is guided together with the liner to a first dispensing edge, at which at least a first liner strip is pulled off, with the liner being separated at the slit located under the material, while the material with the remaining second liner strip is guided to a second dispensing edge, and (iii) a second guiding device, by means of which the material, together with the remaining liner strips, is guided to a second dispensing edge, at which the remaining second liner strip can be pulled off.

The peeling device has a pressing roller that comes into contact with a label attaching surface (a first surface) of the backing paper and a driving roller that comes into contact with a back surface of the backing paper. The peeling device includes a peeling plate that is provided on the upstream side of an interposing roller pair in a transport direction of the backing paper when the label is peeled off from the backing paper and that bends a transport path of the backing paper. The pressing roller is a split roller including a roller shaft and a plurality of rollers. The peeling device includes support frames that support the pressing roller, and coil springs that come into contact with the roller shaft in an area on the pressing roller between the support frames and that bias the pressing roller toward the driving roller.

According to one embodiment, a label peeling device includes a tray, a pressing unit, and a control unit. The tray is configured to support a label sheet thereon. The pressing unit is configured to be driven in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the label sheet. The control unit is configured to drive the pressing unit toward a central portion of the label sheet supported on the tray. The control unit performs peeling control to peel a liner sheet and a label body of the label sheet from each other by pressing an edge of the label sheet and thereby curving the label sheet.

A sticker machine, for peeling a sticker from a liner paper during a conveying process of the sticker. The sticker machine includes a turning peeling portion, configured to cause the sticker to be peeled from the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from a travel direction of the sticker; and a sticker guiding portion, configured to guide the sticker to be conveyed in a prescribed direction to the turning peeling portion, for causing the sticker after being peeled to enter an output port. In a conveying direction of the sticker, the sticker guiding portion is disposed at a position further upstream than the turning peeling portion.

A sticker output box, a sticker dispensing device, and an attention training method for children. The sticker output box is detachably mounted to a box mounting structure of a sticker dispensing device. A sticker is peelably affixed to a liner paper. The sticker output box includes: a box body, including a sticker compartment for positioning the sticker roll; and a winding shaft, configured to be rotatable when in contact with the liner paper to wind the liner paper. The box body further includes a liner conveying path, a sticker output port, and a turning peeling portion; the turning peeling portion is arranged on the liner conveying path and is disposed at the sticker output port, and the turning peeling portion is configured to cause the sticker to be peeled off of the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from a travel direction of the sticker.

A self-strip media module in a printer is provided. The self-strip media module includes a peel bar having a length at least as great as the length of a platen roller and being rotatably engaged at the ends of the platen roller. The media includes a series of labels adhered to a liner. The media is fed over the peel bar and between the platen roller and a mid-chassis. The peel bar may be rotated towards the discharge side of the platen roller, pulling the media over the platen roller and over itself. A thermal print head is lowered onto the media over the platen roller and to print on the labels. The printer advances the media over the peel bar. The labels are stripped from the liner when the media advances around the peel bar.
