Abstract
Abstract A hand labeller comprising a label sheet roll for supplying a label sheet consisting of a carrier paper and label blanks laminated on the carrier paper, typing means for pressing the labels sheet onto an anvil plate thereby to effect a typing on each one of the label one by one, and labelling means for adhering the label carrying the typed letter onto the object to be labelled. The labelling means have a cut out or partially removed back adapted to be reciprocatingly moved within an angular range which does not interrupt the passing of an ink roller. The typing means include a roller for supporting a type wheel and having a plurality of projections projecting toward a supporting shaft, and an engaging piece disposed in a bore of said shaft and resiliently biased to project out of the surface of the shaft. The arrangement is such that the projections of the roller are brought into engagement with the engaging piece, in accordance with the rotation of the shaft. The label sheet roll is supported by a supporting member having a slit extending from one toward the other axial ends and a retaining portion provided in the vicinity of the starting end of the slit. The supporting member is adapted to be received by a bore formed in the labeller body, and is prevented from being dropped off from the bore by a projection formed in the bore. The hand labeller further has a guide plate for guiding the label sheet to the anvil plate, having at its intermediate portion a winding section. A feed roller is provided confronting the winding section to press the label sheet onto the winding section.
