Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable Braille paper making machine. It is common practice to print desired characters on the front side of a tape with an adhesive backing, make a post, and attach it to a desired location or object to make a heading or sign. Equipment for making Nahari paper is already on the market, but many of them are made primarily for opening the eyes, and there are very few that are made for blind people, and even when they are, they are only made as a temporary measure. For example, under each letter of the dial where the selected letters A, B, C, etc. or A, B, C, etc. are listed, a heading representing that letter in Braille is attached, so it is difficult for blind people to It takes time to select letters and is difficult to use, and blind people can use Braille, which is a combination of 6 dots (3 dots and 2 lines) (see Figure 1 A), which is the basic layout of Braille. As shown in Figure 1 B, C, and D, it can be typed in Japanese, English, and Chinese, so you can type in the 26 alphanumeric characters or the alphabet.
This is a much simpler device than a device that has the corresponding Braille characters attached to the bottom of the 48 letters. In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable Braille paper making machine that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and particularly convenient for blind people.

The configuration of the portable Braille paper making machine according to the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiment.
(See C)) Inside, there is a storage chamber for paper tape with an adhesive back side, and a mold base part 3 that has female mold holes 2 of three points and two rows, which is the basic arrangement in Braille composition.
((See Figure 3 A, B, C, D)) on the cover plate 4 of the room.
A Braille embossing chamber is provided with the female mold hole 2 facing downward from the back side of the Braille embossing chamber, and a Braille embossing chamber is provided with the female mold hole 2 facing downward;
is provided with a guide part ((see FIG. 3 A)) for guiding the pull-out tape' ((see FIG. 2 E)), and the cover plate 4 of the Braille printing chamber has at least the three points. Braille forming push button in two rows, ,,,
, and a push button for operating the tape feeding device 5 ((see FIG. 3 B)) provided in the guide section are provided in a protruding manner, and one end 6 of the push button for forming braille is provided in the braille forming chamber. For example, as shown in FIG.
six ramrods 9 each having a male part 8 that can penetrate into the
Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, one end 10 projects outward from the Braille embossing chamber, the projecting part 11 has a tape cutting push button, and the other end 12 has the mold base part 3.
A lever 14 having a cutting blade 13 which can cut the draw-out tape' in cooperation with the lever 14 is pivotally supported.
Each of the levers 9... and the lever 14 elastically pushes up the push button side with a coil spring 15 provided in the Braille setting chamber, and the flange 16 protruding from the lower end of the push button is connected to the cover plate. 4, or as in the case of the tape cutting push button shown in FIG.
so that it is pressed against the edge 16' of the

Various types of tape feeding device 5 are conceivable, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. The feed dog 17
A ratchet tooth 19 is provided on the shaft of the rotary wheel 18, and a click 2 for feeding the ratchet tooth 19 is provided from the push button 7 for operating the tape feeding device.
0 is provided vertically, and the ratchet tooth 19 is provided with a pole 21 for preventing reverse rotation. In addition,
Reference numeral 22 indicates a coil spring for pushing up the push button 7, and reference numeral 2 in FIG. 3 A, B and FIG. 2 C
3 indicates the tape exit.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the tape cutting push button is provided protruding from the side of the flat case 1, but it may also be provided on the cover plate 4 as in the embodiment shown in FIG. shall be.

Since this embodiment has the configuration as described above,
Remove the cover plate 4' of the paper tape storage chamber and the cover plate 4 of the Braille embossing chamber, take out the drawer tape' from the tape as shown in FIG. 2E, and insert it into the guide section shown in FIG. and each cover plate 4, 4'
When the operating push button of the tape feeding device 5 is pressed down, the ratchet teeth 19 are rotated by the click 20 and the rotary wheel 18 is rotated, so that the tape is fed on the guide portion of the tape 1 and the flat case 1 is
One end of the tape can be seen through the tape outlet 23 on the side of the tape, as shown in FIG.

Next, if you want to type the letter A in Alphabet, for example, as shown in Figure 1C, for the Braille A, you only need to make one dot at the top of the first row stand out, so type in Figure 4 (B). If you press the push button as shown and then press the operation push button of the tape feeding device 5 several times,
That is, when the hatched push button shown in FIG. 4(a) is pressed, an A is stamped in braille on the drawer tape' and comes out as shown in FIG. 4(b).

If you want to type AB, just press the push button ,, as shown in Figure 4 (2), and if you want to obtain the desired length of the pull-out tape, press the operating push button several times. Finally, when the tape cutting push button is pressed, the cutting blade 13 cuts the draw-out tape' from the back side.

This invention has the structure described above, and the entire Braille tape making machine consists of two rows of three push buttons known to blind people, a push button for operating the tape feeder, and a push button for cutting the tape. Since there are only 8 push buttons in total, the configuration is simple and compact, the push buttons are all protruded from the case, making it easy for blind people to handle, and the case is flat, making it convenient to carry and inexpensive. This is a very good portable Braille paper making machine that we can offer.
