Abstract:
In a label affixing device, a printing unit prints on a portion of a tape. The tape includes a label and a release material affixed to an adhesive surface of the label. A peeling part is disposed downstream relative to the printing unit in a conveying direction of the tape, and peels the label off the release material. A support part supports the label entirely peeled off the release material. An affixing part is disposed downstream relative to the peeling part in a conveying direction of the label, and affixes the label supported by the support part to an adherend. A housing has a prescribed installation surface via which the housing is placed. The support part is configured to support an opposite surface of the label from a side on which the installation surface is disposed. The opposite surface is a surface of the label opposite the adhesive surface.
Abstract:
An image reading device includes a tray unit, a recording unit disposed above the tray unit, an outer guide defining a curved path extending from the tray unit to the recording unit, a sheet feeder configured to feed a sheet from the tray unit to the curved path, and a return guide disposed between the recording unit and the tray unit. The return guide pivots about a shaft and guides the sheet having an image recorded thereon back to the curved path. The tray unit includes at least one supporting portion. The return guide includes at least one supported portion. The at least one supporting portion of the tray unit engages the at least one supported portion of the return guide such that the return guide takes a guiding position in which the return guide defines a return path extending to the curved path.
Abstract:
A slider moving in a sliding direction between first and second positions shifts a second path-defining member, relative to a first path-defining member, between first and second states. A pair of movable members each disposed on a corresponding side of a slider in a width direction is movable individually in the sliding direction to shift between third and fourth states. The movable members, when both in the third state, position the slider to the first position and, when both in the fourth state, position the slider to the second position. Each movable member supports a corresponding widthwise end of the slider immovably in the sliding direction and movably in the width direction. A support frame supporting the second path-defining member supports a widthwise central portion of the slider movably in the sliding direction and rotatably on a plane parallel to the sliding direction and the width direction.
Abstract:
An image recording device is provided, having a recording unit configured to record an image on a sheet, and a tray disposed below the recording unit. The tray includes a sheet holding surface configured to hold the sheet. Additionally, the image recording device includes a sheet feeder disposed between the recording unit and the tray. The sheet feeder includes a roller for feeding the sheet from the tray. The roller is configured to move between a first roller position in which the roller contacts the sheet holding surface of the tray and a second roller position in which the roller is separated from the sheet holding surface. A return guide, disposed between the recording unit and the sheet feeder, defines a second conveying path to guide the sheet having an image recorded on one side thereof back to the feed guide. The return guide has a first opening configured to accommodate the roller of the sheet feeder when the roller is in the second roller position.

Abstract:
A label wrapping device includes a conveying part, a support part, an insertion part, a wrapping part, and a pressing member. The conveying part is configured to convey a label in a conveying direction. The label has one surface and an opposite surface opposite the one surface. The one surface is an adhesive surface. The support part is configured to support the opposite surface of the label guided by the conveying part. An adherend is insertable into the insertion part together with the label. The wrapping part is configured to wrap the label around the adherend inserted into the insertion part. The pressing member is configured to press the label against the adherend by contacting the opposite surface from at least one of an upstream side and a downstream side in the conveying direction during a course of the adherend being inserted into the insertion part together with the label.
Abstract:
In a label affixing device, a printer performs printing on a tape. The tape includes: a base material; and a release material. The base material has an adhesive surface and a printing surface. The release material covers the adhesive surface. A cutter is disposed downstream relative to the printer in a conveying direction of the tape, and cuts a prescribed portion of the tape while leaving the release material intact to produce a label having the printing surface on which printing has been performed by the printer. A peeling part is disposed downstream relative to the cutter in the conveying direction of the tape, and peels the label off the release material. An affixing part is disposed downstream relative to the peeling part in a conveying direction of the label, and affixes the label peeled off the release material by the peeling part to an adherend.

Abstract:
An image recording apparatus, including: a main body; an image recorder; a sheet supporter movable between an opposed position and a retracted position; a cap movable between a contact position and a distant position; a distance-defining member movable between a first position and a second position and configured to define a distance between an upper surface of a sheet and a lower surface of the recorder, the first position being a position where the member partially overlaps a region of the cap at the contact position, the second position being a position where at least a part of the member does not overlap the region; and a controller to control the cap to move from the distant position to the contact position after the supporter has been moved from the opposed position to the retracted position and the member has been moved from the first position to the second position.
Abstract:
A slider moving in a sliding direction between first and second positions shifts a second path-defining member, relative to a first path-defining member, between first and second states. A pair of movable members each disposed on a corresponding side of a slider in a width direction is movable individually in the sliding direction to shift between third and fourth states. The movable members, when both in the third state, position the slider to the first position and, when both in the fourth state, position the slider to the second position. Each movable member supports a corresponding widthwise end of the slider immovably in the sliding direction and movably in the width direction. A support frame supporting the second path-defining member supports a widthwise central portion of the slider movably in the sliding direction and rotatably on a plane parallel to the sliding direction and the width direction.
