Abstract

Abstract A thermal price tag printer, in which price tags are fed between a platen (35) and thermal head (34) and printing of the price tags is carried out, is provided with a thermal head support structure for thermal price tag printers characterized by having: a support member (62) for the thermal head comprising a thermal head attachment member (63) to which the thermal head is attached and a thermal head press member (64) used to press the thermal head in the direction of the platen (35); a fixed spindle (65) for rotation which rotatably supports the support member (62) of the thermal head; and an oscillating support pivot member which supports the thermal head attachment member in such a way that it is able to oscillate in a plane parallel to the axial direction of the platen.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2

Claim 1

Independent Claim 131 words

(1) In a thermal price tag printer in which price tags are fed between a platen and thermal head and printing of said price tags is carried out, the improvement of a thermal head support structure for thermal price tag printers characterized by having: a support member for said thermal head comprising a thermal head attachment member to which said thermal head is attached and a thermal head press member used to press said thermal head in the direction of said platen; a fixed spindle for rotation which rotatably supports said support member of said thermal head; and an oscillating support pivot member which supports said thermal head attachment member in such a way that it is able to oscillate in a plane parallel to the axial direction of said platen.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 160 words

(2) In a thermal price tag printer in which price tags are fed between a platen and thermal head and printing of said price tags is carried out, the improvement of a thermal head support structure for thermal price tag printers characterized by having: a support member for said thermal head comprising a thermal head attachment member to which said thermal head is attached and a thermal head press member used to press said thermal head in the direction of said platen; a fixed spindle for rotation which rotatably supports said support member of said thermal head; an oscillating support pivot member which supports said thermal head attachment member in such a way that it is able to oscillate in a plane parallel to the axial direction of said platen, and a pressing member which presses said thermal head pressing member in such a way that the amount of pressing force on said thermal head pressing member can be changed.
