摘要:
A sleeve applicator machine is used to remove and open a sleeve from a carrier for application of the sleeve around an elongated object such as a wire. A mandrel is inserted into an opening of an unopened sleeve while the sleeve is still supported by the carrier. Once the mandrel is inserted into the sleeve, the mandrel is lifted to separate the unopened sleeve from the carrier. While still on the mandrel, the sleeve (which is now in a semi-opened state) is positioned between a separable pair of sleeve-opening dies in which the dies are in an opened position. The dies are closed or brought together around the sleeve and mandrel to compress the sleeve to a fully open state. At this point and with the dies holding the sleeve open, the mandrel may be withdrawn from the sleeve and a wire or other elongated object inserted into the opening of the sleeve.

Label media for use in a label media printer to form wide labels is disclosed. The label media includes a releasable liner (12) that has a first side (16) and a second side (18) joined by a longitudinal edge (20). A first side (24) of a substrate (14) adheres to the first and the second sides of the releasable liner. At least a portion of the substrate is ink-receiving.

A printer cartridge (12) suitable for use in a cartridge-based printer (10) houses and dispenses a roll of label media (14). The cartridge includes housing (28)having a top wall (30) and a bottom wall (32). A yoke (42) pivotally mounted between the top and bottom walls for pivotable movement about a pivot axis (103) includes a label media supply shaft for holding a roll of label media. The label media supply shaft has a longitudinal axis spaced from, and parallel, to the pivot axis. A label media drive roller (46) is rotatably mounted between the top and bottom walls, and a biasing means (44) biases the yoke (42) toward the label media drive roller to maintain the roll of label media in contact with the label media drive roller (46) and defines beginning of a media path. In one embodiment, the yoke is adjustable to accommodate different label media widths.
