ABSTRACT:
A feed mechanism for feeding an elongated strip of labels in a portable labeling machine. The label feed mechanism intermittently advances the label strip with an indexed movement in response to the manual gripping and releasing of a grip lever which acts through an actuating member that is pivotally connected to the grip lever. The label feed mechanism includes a rotatable feed wheel, and it includes a drive member which is connected to the actuating member at a position far from the pivot of the actuating member. The drive member may be a combination of a ratchet lever on the actuating member and a ratchet wheel connected to the feed wheel or it may be a combination of a rack on the actuating member and a pinion on the feed wheel. Between the ratchet wheel or the pinion and the feed wheel is a gear assembly that amplifies motion of the ratchet wheel or pinion. Thus, the manual actions of the grip lever are amplified in the motion of the feed wheel to ensure an elongated advancing motion of the label strip.
