PORTABLE LABELING MACHINE

摘要

The machine intended for printing two lines of characters of different color (8, 9) on self-adhesive labels comprises two printheads mounted in a rocking housing (7). This housing comprises two holding elements (14, 16) engaged in two guide slots (17, 19), and a drive finger (15) engaged in a fork (18) of a drive lever (13) actuated by a trigger (3). The slots have shapes which are so adapted that upon the printing impact of the two lines of characters on a print platen (12) the rocking of the housing is transformed into a translation which is not affected by the play and movements of the drive lever and is oriented towards the print platen. Two inking rollers of different color (22, 23) are mounted in a common retractable support (24) by means of a mechanism (26, 29, 30) intended to assure the selective inking of the two lines of characters.
