Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A hand-held labeler adapted to print and apply pressure sensitive labels releasably secured to a carrier web, comprising a housing having a handle, means on the housing for supporting a label roll of pressure sensitive labels, means for printing on labels, means for delaminating printed labels, means for applying printed labels, means for advancing the carrier web, means defining a path for guiding the web from the label roll, to the printing means, to the delaminating means, and to the web advancing means, wherein the web advancing means includes a rotatably mounted feed wheel and an electric motor for driving the feed wheel, wherein the feed wheel includes an annular portion having an outer periphery, three peripherally spaced rolling-contact members in supported contact with the annular portion, two of the rolling contact members being firmly mounted in force opposition to the force exerted by the feed wheel during advance of the carrier web, and the third rolling-contact member being yieldably mounted to exert force against the annular portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A hand-held labeler adapted to print and apply pressure sensitive labels releasably secured to a carrier web, comprising a housing having a handle, means on the housing for supporting a label roll of pressure sensitive labels, means for printing on labels, means for delaminating printed labels, means for applying printed labels, means for advancing the carrier web, means defining a path for guiding the web from the label roll, to the printing means, to the delaminating means, and to the web advancing means, wherein the web advancing means includes a rotatably mounted feed wheel and an electric motor for driving the feed wheel, wherein the feed wheel includes an annular portion having an outer periphery, three peripherally spaced rolling-contact members in supported contact with the annular portion, two of the rolling contact members being firmly mounted in force opposition to the force exerted by the feed wheel during advance of the carrier web, and the third rolling-contact member being yieldably mounted to exert force against the annular portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A hand-held labeler as defined in claim 1, wherein the rolling-contact members are mounted on a holder, wherein the holder includes a flexible resilient section for mounting the third rolling contact member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
153 words
A hand-held labeler adapted to print and apply pressure sensitive labels releasably secured to a carrier web, comprising: a housing having a handle, means on the housing for supporting a label roll of pressure sensitive labels, means for printing on labels, means for delaminating printed labels, means for applying printed labels, means for advancing the carrier web, means defining a path for guiding the web from the label roll, to the printing means, to the delaminating means, and to the web advancing means, wherein the web advancing means includes a rotatably mounted feed wheel and an electric motor for driving the feed wheel, wherein the feed wheel includes an annular portion having an outer periphery, a pair of peripherally spaced rolling-contact members in supported contact with the annular portion, the rolling contact members being firmly mounted in force opposition to the force exerted by the feed wheel during advance of the carrier web.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
153 words
A hand-held labeler adapted to print and apply pressure sensitive labels releasably secured to a carrier web, comprising: a housing having a handle, means on the housing for supporting a label roll of pressure sensitive labels, means for printing on labels, means for delaminating printed labels, means for applying printed labels, means for advancing the carrier web, means defining a path for guiding the web from the label roll, to the printing means, to the delaminating means, and to the web advancing means, wherein the web advancing means includes a rotatably mounted feed wheel and an electric motor for driving the feed wheel, wherein the feed wheel includes an annular portion having an outer periphery, a pair of peripherally spaced rolling-contact members in supported contact with the annular portion, the rolling contact members being firmly mounted in force opposition to the force exerted by the feed wheel during advance of the carrier web.
