Patent number: 9041752Abstract: The disclosure discloses a printer performing printing processing that forms desired print on a print-receiving medium. The printer includes a cartridge holder, a drive device, a thermal head, an energization device, an attribute detecting device, a first determination portion, and a processing portion. The cartridge holder removably mounts a cartridge. The drive device drives a feeding roller to feed the print-receiving medium. The thermal head performs printing on the print-receiving medium fed. The energization device controls energization of the thermal head. The attribute detecting device detects an attribute of the print-receiving medium. The first determination portion determines whether or not a tube cartridge capable of supplying a tubular print-receiving medium is mounted.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Susumu Murata, Kiyoichi Ohta, Hisako Tonishi

Patent number: 8192099Abstract: An object of the disclosure is to provide a print cassette for producing a print tape comprising a structure which can avoid a bad effect on a feeding performance of a film tape in the print cassette and handling of a print tape when stuck to an adherend even when an adopted to-be-printed medium is a thin-film. A print tape 5 produced in a print cassette is composed of a first tape 11 and a second tape 13. In the first tape 11, a first base material 31 and a to-be-printed medium 33 are stacked via a first adhesive layer 32. In the second tape 13, a second adhesive layer 51 is stacked to a second base material 52. Then, a printing surface 11A of the first tape 11 on which ink 41 is put and the second adhesive layer 51 are overlapped with each other, so that the second tape 13 adhered to the first tape 11 to compose the print tape 5.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2007Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mariko Yamada, Tsutomu Kato, Tsuyoshi Nagae, Kiyoichi Ohta, Takashi Horiuchi, Akira Ito, Koshiro Yamaguchi
