A manufacturing device of a laminated label body. The manufacturing device of a laminated label body includes a paper feeding portion, a peeling device, a winding portion, and a lamination device. The release paper to which a label is stuck is conveyed by the paper feeding portion, and the release paper is wound by the winding portion and is conveyed while being folded back around a tip end portion of a peeling plate of the peeling device, whereby the label is peeled off from the release paper. The peeled-off label is conveyed to the lamination device having two rolls provided on a downstream side of the peeling plate. The lamination device manufactures the laminated label body by overlapping a rear end portion of the preceding label and a tip end portion of the subsequent label and by sticking them each other.

A separation unit (10) of a label printer includes a metal nip roller shaft (11), a resin nip roller (12) disposed at a center part of the nip roller shaft and is supported so as to be rotatable around the nip roller shaft, and resin supporters (13) that support both ends of the nip roller shaft. The separation unit (10) is attached to the body case (2) to be relatively movable between the normal ejection position and the separation ejection position. Each of the pair of supporters has a part protruding toward the nip roller, and this part is a roller holder (13d) to insert an end of the nip roller shaft. The roller holder and the supporter are integrally formed for enhanced strength of the supporter.

A printer includes a conveyance unit, a print head, and a braking member. The conveyance unit includes first and second rollers arranged in a state of being in pressure contact with each other with a conveyance path for conveying a long printing medium interposed therebetween, and applies a conveyance force to the printing medium by rotating the first and second rollers. The print head is disposed upstream of a position where the conveyance unit applies the conveyance force in a forward direction along the conveyance path, and performs printing on the printing medium conveyed in the forward direction through the conveyance path. The braking member is disposed in contact with the second roller, is moved, by a frictional force generated by rotation of the second roller in the forward direction, to a first position where a first braking force is applied to the printing medium, and is moved, by a frictional force generated by reverse rotation of the second roller, to a second position where a second braking force larger than the first braking force is applied to the printing medium.

A system and method for user friendly replacement of printer platen rolls includes a roll assembly having a support shaft with a bearing seated in a flange at one end. A crescent notch in a printer chassis receives the shaft into an interior of the notch. The assembly is moved axially so that a flange neck nests in the notch with a flange lip contacting a surface of the chassis. A lock contacts the lip to prevent axial motion of the assembly when installed. An opposed side of the shaft is placed in a bearing on an opposite side of the chassis.

A cutter unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to cut recording paper that is conveyed. The cutter unit includes a movable blade that can advance toward or retract from the recording paper and is configured to cut the recording paper when the movable blade advances. The cutter unit also includes a peeling mechanism including a contacting portion configured to move in a direction opposite to a direction of advancement or retraction of the movable blade and contact the recording paper.

A joining apparatus for supporting strips of adhesive labels comprises two modules each of which in turn comprises a conveying element of the respective supporting strip; a cutting element configured to cut a respective supporting strip; a joining element that can be configured in a first operating position, in which it keeps in position a respective supporting strip and/or a fixing element, and in a second operating position in which it abuts against the joining element of the other module so as to join the supporting strips; a locking element that can be configured between an active position and a passive position. In particular, at least one joining element can be removed from the respective module to allow the introduction of the fixing element even when the two modules are in the neared configuration to one another. The subject matter of the present patent application is also a joining process for supporting strips of adhesive labels.

The plant includes at least one support (3) for the reels (B1, B2 . . . . Bn) to be labeled, a label dispenser, a first labeling robot (11) adapted to take labels from the label dispenser and to insert them into the central openings of the reels arranged on the support, and a second handling robot (31) adapted to take the reels and to move them away from the support (3).

A printing apparatus includes a print head, a peeling unit that peels a label from backing paper, a transport roller disposed upstream of the peeling unit on a transport path of label paper, a peeling roller disposed downstream of the peeling unit on a transport path of the backing paper, a detection unit that detects an end position of the label paper, and a control unit, the peeling unit includes a peeling plate that can rotate on the same plane as a surface of the label paper with a rotation shaft as a fulcrum, and a third motor that rotates the peeling plate with a support shaft as a fulcrum, and the control unit performs feedback control on the third motor based on a detection result of the detection unit so that a variation in the end position of the label paper is reduced.

The invention relates to a labelling device for attaching labels to containers, comprising: at least one unrolling device for a label strip; at least one cutting tool for cutting the label strip into individual labels; a vacuum transfer cylinder for transferring the labels onto the containers, wherein the vacuum transfer cylinder has a plurality of movable vacuum suction for suctioning, conveying and transferring the labels, wherein at least one vacuum suction bar is assigned to each label to be transported; at least one bar controller for controlling the movement of the vacuum suction bars, wherein the bar controller comprises at least one control cam which, in cooperation with at least one control roller of a vacuum suction bar, controls the movement of the respective vacuum suction bar.
