ABSTRACT:
A labeling device which includes a pair of spaced printing element carrying, rotatable wheels for imprinting characters on a tape. A path of travel for the tape is defined between the wheels and a mechanism is provided for feeding the tape along the path of travel. A mechanism is provided for applying pressure to the deformable arms for causing the desired imprinting of characters. A lever is pivotally mounted for operating the tape feeding mechanism and the pressure applying mechanism. An arm is mounted on and extends from the lever and the arm includes an end portion which is remote from the mounting position thereof on the lever. A guide element is carried on the end portion. A closed track, having an initial portion and a later portion, is provided in the body of the labeling device and is constructed and arranged to receive and guide the guide element therein. The tape feeding mechanism includes a sprocket wheel which drivably engages the tape. Teeth are carried on the end portion of the arm for drivably moving the sprocket wheel as the guide element is moved in the initial portion only of the track, in response to the pivoting movement of the lever. A member is carried on the lever for operatively engaging the pressure applying mechanism for imprinting a desired character on the tape as the guide element is moved in the later section only of the track, in response to continued pivoting movement of the lever.
