Abstract: A printer for printing plate-like media made of plastic and/or metal such as printing marker cards with markers for marking electrical appliances has various functional devices and an apparatus for handling the printable plate-like media. The marker cards are conveyed in the printer between the functional devices. The handling apparatus has several stations which are formed as receiving and fixing devices for a marker card to be printed. One or more of the stations is configured so as to be pivotable, such that it can be pivoted out of a first pivot position into a second pivot position against a resilient stop.

Abstract: A printer for printing plate-like media, in particular for printing marker cards with markers for marking electrical appliances includes a housing and at least one input station for the marker cards to be printed The printer further includes a printing station with a printing device and an output station for printed marker cards. The output station has a magazining device which has one or more guide devices so that the output station, with the magazining device, can be drawn from a position pushed into the housing into a position outside the housing and can be pushed back into the housing of the printer, Each guide device also has its own stacking unit which is pivotably mounted.

Abstract: A printer for printing plate-like print media includes a printing unit having at least one print head for printing print media according to the inkjet printing. The printing unit is movable in and against a conveying direction. A cleaning unit is provided for cleaning the print unit and includes a cleaning device for suctioning ink out of the print head in a suctioning direction. The cleaning unit further includes a drive device for moving the cleaning device in different operating positions. A cleaning device for such a printer and a method for maintaining the printer are also provided.

Abstract: Printing apparatus is provided for printing information on a vertical stack of horizontal vertically-spaced planar objects arranged in a housing, including a separating arrangement for removing the lowermost object from the stack, and a printing device for printing information on the removed object. The stack is supported by a plurality of support arrangements each including a support member mounted for reciprocatory horizontal displacement by an electromagnetic drive device between positions that are adjacent and remote from the stack, respectively. Each support member is guided during this displacement by a guide arrangement including at least one guide lever having a first end pivotally connected with the housing, and a second end connected with a guide follower roller that is in engagement with a guide cam surface carried by the support member. The generation of noise is avoided as a consequence of the accurate guidance of the components.

Abstract: The invention relates to pliers having a first operating jaw (1) and a first plier handle (2) fixed thereto, having a second operating jaw (3) which is mounted pivotably by means of a pivot pin (30) and forms a plier mouth with the first operating jaw (1), having a second plier handle (4) which is mounted pivotably on a section (23) of the second operating jaw (3), said section being oriented towards the rear plier end, and having a resilient connecting element (7), of which one end is provided on the second plier handle (4), just behind the second operating jaw (3), and the other end is provided on the first plier handle (2). The pivot pin (30) is fastened on one of the operating jaws (3), and located in the other operating jaw (1) is a slot (33) for accommodating the pivot pin (30), the longitudinal direction of said slot running in the plier plane, at least more or less perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the pliers.

Abstract: Pliers with a first operating jaw and a first plier handle fixed thereto, have a second operating jaw mounted pivotably on the first operating jaw, and have a second plier handle which is articulated on a section of the second operating jaw. The section is oriented towards the rear plier end, having a connecting element between the first and second plier handles for the purpose of forming a toggle lever, and has a catch which is arranged at the front end of the second plier handle and is intended for preventing the plier handles from spreading apart before they have reached their closed position, the catch engaging, for this purpose, in a row of teeth. The row of teeth is provided on the second operating jaw.

Abstract: Have a pliers housing (2), two clamping jaws (4, 28) which can be pivoted relative to each other to form a mouth (29) of the pliers, in which mouth two stripping members (51, 59) are arranged such that they can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the mouth by a pull-rod (37), two handles (3, 12), which can be pivoted relative to each other, and a drive device, which is arranged in the pliers housing (2) and can be driven by the pivoting movement of the handles (3, 12) for pivoting the clamping jaws (4, 28) relative to each other and for longitudinal displacement of the pull-rod (37). The drive device has cam discs (18a, 18b) via which both the relative pivoting of the clamping jaws (4, 28) and the longitudinal displacement of the pull-rod (37) can be controlled.

Abstract: A device for stripping conductor ends contains two stripping devices arranged in a mouth formed by clamping jaws. The two stripping devices can be displaced in a longitudinal direction of the mouth. At least one of the stripping devices includes a stack of laminates which are located side by side. The stack can be moved transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mouth and has cutting edges which penetrate into insulation of a conductor which is held by the clamping jaws when the mouth is closed. A laminate guidance device is matched to the profile of the conductor and controls the laminate transverse movement in a corresponding manner. The laminate guidance device is located on the rear side of the laminate stack.
