A stamp-making apparatus is provided in which a transparent presser plate is arranged such that the presser plate is parallel with a stamp-making object material, an ink ribbon having a stamp image formed thereon is urged against the stamp-making object material via the presser plate, and exposure of the stamp-making object material to light is carried out via the ink ribbon as a mask. A ribbon feeder rolls out an ink ribbon wound around one end portion thereof to a position facing the stamp-making object material, and then rolls up the ink ribbon around another end portion thereof. A relative translation of the presser plate and the stamp-making object material is made toward each other by moving at least one of the presser plate and the stamp-making object material to thereby urge the ink ribbon against the stamp-making object material. A guide guides the ink ribbon when the ink ribbon is fed, to space between the presser plate and the stamp-making object material. Tension of the ink ribbon is regulated in a manner linked to operation of the relative translation of the presser plate and the stamp-making object material made toward each other.

The present invention relates to a character information processor having a function by which the user can obtain a character to be inputted by inputting a code corresponding to the character.The character information processor of the present invention includes: code input means through which the code is inputted; and a plurality of code-character conversion tables which are associated with different code systems and each of which contains relationships between codes and their corresponding characters under the code system. Also, the processor includes eligible character retrieving means for retrieving each of the plurality of code-character conversion tables to find out a character corresponding to the code inputted through said code input means so as to output the character thus found as an eligible character with respect to each of the plurality of code-character conversion tables; display means for displaying, on a display screen, one or more eligible characters supplied from the eligible character retrieving means; and selecting means for selecting one character as a desired character out of the one or more eligible characters thus displayed.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for driving and controlling a thermal head used in a printing device, such as a tape printer, in response to the temperature variations of the printing device environment and the thermal head. According to the present invention, in the printing operation of the tape printer, measurements are made of the initial temperature T1 immediately after the power is switched on, the temperature prior to printing T2, and the ambient temperature of the thermal head each time the thermal head prints T3(i). If the temperature difference between the initial temperature T1 and the temperature prior to printing T2 is small, the duration of the current signals provided to the thermal head is controlled in accordance with the temperature prior to printing T2, which is the most recently measured thermal head ambient temperature best reflecting the printing device environmental temperature. If the difference is large, the duration is controlled in accordance with the initial temperature T1, which then best reflects the environmental temperature. If the rate of the increase in temperature during printing T3(i) is large, the duration is controlled in accordance with the initial temperature T2 to reduce the duration. If the temperature during printing T3(i) exceeds a temperature which indicates overheating, the printing operation is aborted. Thus, the present invention allows for controlling the thermal head drive by means of the measured thermal head ambient temperature excluding the effect of the heat generation of the thermal head and in accordance with the thermal state of the thermal head.

An electronic apparatus has a body formed with a pocket for mounting a plurality of types of access objects each having an end surface for being accessed, therein from above. The body has an access block arranged therein for accessing the end surface of each of the plurality of types of access objects. Main support bosses are provided in the pocket in a manner extending upward for having each of the access objects being fitted thereon. The access object is comprised of a receiving member having an access surface (the end surface) for being accessed by the access block, a receiving member-attaching portion to which the receiving member is attached, and a receiving member-holding part for holding the receiving member-attaching portion. A cap is removably fitted on the access object in a manner such that the receiving member thereof is covered by the cap. The electronic apparatus is provided with an inhibiting mechanism for inhibiting a lid for closing the pocket from being closed when the access object with the cap fitted thereon is mounted in the pocket.

The present invention relates to a character printing apparatus in which an input character string is printed on a plurality of print mediums loaded in the apparatus and having a transversal dimension, on which limitation is imposed, and different longitudinal dimensions. The character printing apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that the apparatus includes line-gap dot-number determining means for determining a line-gap dot number representing the number of dots to be allocated to a line gap and an external-line-gap dot number representing the number of dots to be allocated to an external line gap, the line gap being formed between consecutive two lines of the character string, the external line gap being formed between an upper edge of the print medium and a first line of the character string and between a lower edge of the print medium and a last line of the character string, and that the determination of the line-gap dot number and the external-line-gap dot number by the line-gap determining means is conducted through an arithmetic operation on the basis of the transversal dimension of the print mediums thus loaded, the number of lines of the input character string, and the character sizes of the respective lines of the character string.

The invention provides a structure in which an adhesion means that rotates, rocks, or reciprocates is pressed onto at least one side of an adhesive tape. The peel-off backing is subsequently removed from a base material of the adhesive tape by applying force on the adhesion means in the direction that separates the peel-off backing from the base material. The relative magnitudes of adhesive strengths are important, and the use of means such as end adhesion, end creasing, and slight delamination increase the effectiveness of the structure. After delamination, separation hooks separate the elements from the adhesion means.

In a tape printing device of the present invention, there is established an enlargement printing mode in which a large pseudo label, whose width is wider than the width of tape, can be obtained when the tape is divided into division portions in the longitudinal direction of the tape and when the division portions are arranged in the direction of the width of the tape. When printing in this mode, the tape printing device prints not only a character string but a marker which indicates the dividing positions in the longitudinal direction of the tape, with the intention of improving the quality of the pseudo label.
