Abstract: A tag mounter (21) is provided for mounting a tag to an object by passing and tying a thread (23) through the object. A pipe unit (25) is configured to insert the thread (23) through it. A movement mechanism (29) is configured to move the pipe unit (25) toward a front direction and a rear direction. A gripper unit (27) is configured to grip the thread (23) inserted through the pipe unit (25) and exposed from a tip of the pipe unit (25). A driver unit (6) is configured to move the gripper unit (27) along a predetermined course. A thread tying mechanism (16) is configured to tie the thread (23) gripped by the gripper unit (27).

Abstract: A label peeling machine is configured to one by one peel adhesive labels of a non-liner label having a number of adhesive labels stuck continuously so as to be overlapped while being shifted by a predetermined width. The non-liner label wound and held on a reel is placed on a carrier belt entrained about a first driven shaft, a second driven shaft, and a third driven shaft and is moved forward or backward. The label peeling machine includes a first sensor for causing the carrier belt to move backward, a second sensor for stopping the carrier belt, a peeling claw for engaging the non-liner label moving upward along the drive belt and peel the adhesive labels one by one, and a control apparatus configured to control a switch, the first sensor and the second sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a label printing-and-applying device including a label feeding mechanism and an impression unit so operatively connected that a roll of blank label bearing tape is unrolled intermittently every time the opposite grips of the device are squeezed to allow the impression unit to print a desired letter or pattern on blank labels one after another subsequent to peeling-off of such blank labels from the tape, and that the so printed labels are applied to objects. It further includes a printing pressure controlling mechanism for controlling the impression pressure in printing a selected letter or pattern on blank labels.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved hand instrument for driving staples in the form of small bits of string into sheets of soft material comprising a handgun-like body composed of a grip having a hand-operated lever fixed therein and a string ejection barrel having a hollow needle fixed at its outlet end and a slidable push rod fixed therein. The hand-operated lever is so operatively connected to the push rod that the push rod is driven and inserted in the hollow needle to eject small bits of string one after another from the hollow needle every time the hand-operated lever is pressed. The hand instrument uses a composite resilient mechanism to permit application to the hand-operated lever a fixed value of return force, thereby assuring that the hand-operated lever is used by applying a fixed value of pressing force thereto, and that one does not get much tired after using the stapler many hundred times without intermission.
