Title:
PRINTING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1986/001774
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A printing apparatus which automatically prints characters representing manufacturing date, weight, price and so forth on, for example, a wrapping resin film which is continuously conveyed. More particularly, the invention pertains to a hot-roll printer which includes: a printing roll; an ink roll which is impregnated with a hot-melt ink and which is disposed such as to oppose and contact the printing roll and is adapted to make the ink adhere to the printing type face of the printing roll; a clutch and brake unit which rotates and stops both the printing and ink rolls in synchronism with a printing timing interval at which printing is effected on a member to be printed; and an encoder which converts a feed amount of the member to be printed into a unit length of pulse. Thus, the need for a feeder device, such as a slip ring, is eliminated, whereby the size of the printing section is reduced and the maintenance thereof is facilitated. Further, the life of the heater is prolonged, and the control of temperature of the printing section is facilitated. Moreover, the clutch and brake unit and the encoder mechanism section are made relatively more compact, thereby reducing the size of the apparatus as a whole. In addition, it is possible to effect an accurate fine adjustment of the spacing between the ink roll and the printing types on the printing roll.
