Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel disc-shaped dial face of a manual tape printing device, which can produce tapes with characters, symbols, etc. stamped thereon.

This type of dial has a structure in which, for example, each printed body is formed into a single piece, or the printed letters are arranged in rows on the surface of a ring-shaped body and these are fitted into the grooves of the dial. In 1973, the printed body was constructed into a straight bead shape, wound into a ring shape, connected at both ends with a locking member, and then fitted onto a dial. -69446, etc., but those with a single-piece printing body require time and effort to fit into the concave groove of the dial, and those with a ring-shaped printing body The molding method is essential for production, which tends to increase the cost in small-scale production, and furthermore, the molding method is essential for the production of products with printed characters in the shape of straight beads. Not only that, but also a process of interlocking both ends was required, which led to problems such as higher costs.

The present invention is aimed at solving these problems, and includes a circular groove on the lower surface and a partition wall facing centripetally on the inner surface of the outer circumferential wall of the groove. A disc is provided with a large number of stamp body fitting chambers formed in an annular bead arrangement, and a large number of stamps are protruded from the bottom surface, for example, and a small uncut portion is left on the inner side between each stamp. It consists of a rectangular string-like stamp body made of open-cell sponge with deep cuts, and each piece of this stamp body is placed in the above-mentioned stamp fitting chamber, and the uncut part is inserted into the inner circumferential wall of the concave groove. The gist of this is that it is fitted into the space between the tip of the partition wall and the end of the partition wall.

For example, as shown in the example, the back side of a sheet-like type plate having many rows of printing of various types is made of open-cell sponge and has open-cell sponge with slightly large eyes. are laminated to form a flat print collection board, and this print collection board is cut between the rows of prints to subdivide it into square string-like print bodies each having a row of print groups, and then the A simple method of making a deep cut perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between the printed characters on one side of the string-like stamp body, leaving an uncut part on a part of the other side, can be done efficiently and at low cost. It has the advantage that it can be manufactured at a low cost, and in addition, the disk has a circular groove on its lower surface, and a dividing wall facing in the centripetal direction on the inner surface of the outer peripheral wall of the groove, making it possible to manufacture a large number of printing bodies. The fitting chamber is formed in an annular bead arrangement, and each stamp body is inserted into the stamp body fitting chamber, and the uncut portion of the stamp body is press-fitted between the inner circumferential wall of the concave groove and the tip of the partitioning wall. Once the stamp body is attached, the installation to the disc is completed, so the fitting of the stamp body to the disc is more efficient compared to the above-mentioned method in which individual stamp bodies are picked one by one and fitted into the groove. Unlike the above-mentioned known method, which not only has a ring-like shape and simply fits into a groove, the method of the present invention has a cutting section on the stamp body.
By joining this cut part with a partitioning protrusion provided in the groove of the disc, the joint pressure of the same part can be applied to further securely hold the stamp body in the groove. These have the effect of fully achieving the stated purpose.
