PRINTING CASSETTE AND PRINTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18599056 titled 'PRINTING CASSETTE AND PRINTER
The abstract describes a printing cassette that consists of a case with three portions, a tape, and a gear that allows for rotation about an axis parallel to a specific direction.
- The printing cassette includes a case with three portions: a first, second, and third case portion.
- A tape is accommodated in the third case portion, with a portion of it being discharged through an outlet in the first case portion.
- A gear is located in the second case portion, with a portion inside the case and the other portion outside, allowing for rotation about a specific axis.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various printing devices to facilitate the smooth operation of tape discharge. - It can be applied in label printers, barcode printers, and other similar devices that require precise tape handling.
Problems Solved: - The printing cassette addresses the need for a compact and efficient mechanism for tape discharge in printing devices. - It solves the problem of ensuring proper alignment and rotation of the gear for smooth operation.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in tape handling and discharge. - Compact design for easy integration into various printing devices. - Enhanced reliability and durability of the cassette components.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Printing Cassette Technology for Enhanced Tape Handling This technology can be commercially utilized in the manufacturing of label printers, barcode printers, and other printing devices to improve tape handling efficiency and overall performance in the market.
Questions about Printing Cassette Technology: 1. How does the gear mechanism in the printing cassette contribute to its functionality?
- The gear mechanism allows for precise rotation about a specific axis, enabling smooth tape discharge in printing devices.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this printing cassette technology in label printers and barcode printers?
- The technology offers improved efficiency, reliability, and durability in tape handling, leading to enhanced performance of the printing devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A printing cassette includes: a case including a first case portion, a second case portion, and a third case portion; a first tape, at least a portion of which is accommodated in the third case portion; and a gear, a portion of which is accommodated in the second case portion and the other portion of which is located outside of the case, the gear being rotatable about a rotation axis parallel to a first direction. The first case portion has an outlet through which the first tape is discharged. The first case portion, the second case portion, and the third case portion are disposed in an order of the first case portion, the second case portion, and the third case portion in the first direction.
