Jul 3, 2013 - Brother Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha
This application is a Divisional Application of U.S. Ser. No.: 12/644,525 filed on Dec. 22, 2009, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2009-156405, 2009-156406, 2009-156407, and 2009-156409, respectively filed on Jun. 30, 2009. The disclosure of the foregoing applications is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
First, it is preferable that the distance L1 between the center line C and the first reference line C 1 is within a range of 18% to 24% of the distance (the tape exposure length) L0 between the exit 34A of the arm portion 34 and the tape discharge portion 49 in the right hand direction, i.e., toward the upstream side in the tape feed direction. For example, there may be a case in which a person desires to identify the print medium to be mounted in the cassette case 31, using the bottom case 31B alone. The distance L0 between the exit 34A of the arm portion 34 and the tape discharge portion 49 can easily be confirmed by a visual check even when the tape is not mounted.
TABLE 1 800A 800B 800E Tape Width (X1) (X2) (X5)
3.5 mm 1 1 0 6 mm 0 0 0 9 mm 1 0 0 12 mm 0 1 0 18 mm 0 0 1 24 mm 1 0 1 36 mm 0 1 1
TABLE 2 Print Mode 800C (X3)
Receptor (normal image printing mode) 1 Laminated (mirror image printing mode) 0
TABLE 3 Character Color 800D (X4)
Black 1 Others 0
As shown in Table 1, corresponding to combinations of whether each of the indicators 800A, 800B and 800E, which constitute the tape width indicator potion, is formed as a protrusion or as a surface portion without a protrusion, seven types of tape width from 3.5 mm to 36 mm indicated by the combinations are defined. Therefore, a person can identify the tape width of the tape cassette 30 by visually checking only the indicators 800A, 800B and 800E respectively included in the vertical information sections X1, X2 and X5, within the arm indicator portion 800. Note that the total number of the combinations of the protrusion or the surface portion of the three indicators 800A, 800B and 800E is eight. However, in the present embodiment, because at least one surface portion is included in the tape width indicators, a tape width corresponding to a case where all of the indicators 800A, 800B and 800E are protrusions (the combination of “1, 1, 1”) is not defined.
In a case where the tape cassette 30 is installed in the cassette housing portion 8 at the proper position, the protruding piece 225 opposes the opposing portion 820. In the meantime, the switch terminals 222 of the arm detecting switches 210 that protrude from the cassette-facing surface 12B (refer to FIG. 8) oppose the indicators 800 A to 800E (the non-pressing portions 801 and the pressing portion 802) that are provided at the corresponding positions in the arm indicator portion 800, and are selectively pressed. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the arm-detecting switch 210 opposing the non-pressing portion 801, namely, a surface portion, remains in the off state, as the leading end of its switch terminal 222 is slightly separated from the arm front surface 35 and thus is not pressed. The arm detecting switch 210 opposing the pressing portion 802 is changed to the on state, as its switch terminal 222 is pressed by the pressing portion 802, namely, a protrusion that protrudes forward from the arm front surface 35.
Consequently, in a case where the tape cassette 30 is misaligned in the upward direction relative to the proper position in the cassette housing portion 8 as shown in FIG. 23, the pressing portion(s) 802 does not press the detecting switch(es) 210 that is not supposed to oppose the pressing portion(s) 802. Therefore, none of the switch terminals 222 contacts with the arm front surface 35 (including the arm indicator portion 800). In other words, all of the arm detecting switches 210A to 210E are maintained in the off states, and the values that indicate the on and off states of the switches SW 1 to SW5 that correspond to the arm detecting switches 210A to 210E are identified as 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0, respectively. As a result, in the case of this installed state, with reference to the tape type table 510, “ERROR” is identified in the tape printer 1.
a tape exit that discharges, from the housing, the tape guided in the housing along a predetermined feed path, at least a portion of the feed path extending parallel to the front surface; and
a type indicator portion provided adjacent to the tape exit and in a specified area of the front surface on an upstream side of the tape exit in a feed direction of the tape, the type indicator portion indicating a tape type of the tape and including at least one first surface portion and at least one second surface portion arranged in a pattern corresponding to the tape type, each of the at least one second surface portion being a surface portion located between the at least one first surface portion and the portion of the feed path in a direction that is generally orthogonal to the front surface, wherein
the type indicator portion includes a plurality of strip-shaped vertical information sections extending along a direction orthogonal to the feed direction,
each of the plurality of vertical information sections includes one of the at least one first surface portion and the at least one second surface portion, and
a first vertical information section is positioned at an interval from the tape exit toward an upstream side in the feed direction, the first vertical information section being a vertical information section located on a most downstream side in the feed direction among the plurality of vertical information sections.
2. The tape cassette according to claim 1, wherein the type indicator portion includes at least a tape width indicator portion that indicates a tape width of the tape.
a combination of whether a first surface portion is formed in each of the first vertical information section and the second vertical information section indicates the tape width.
4. The tape cassette according to claim 2, wherein:
a combination of whether a first surface portion is formed in each of the first vertical information section, the second vertical information section and the most upstream vertical information section indicates the tape width.
5. The tape cassette according to claim 4, wherein adjacent vertical information sections of the plurality of vertical information sections are arranged at an equal interval.
6. The tape cassette according to claim 2, wherein the type indicator portion includes a print mode indicator portion that indicates whether a print mode is a normal image or a minor image.
whether a first surface portion is formed in the third vertical information section indicates whether the print mode is the normal image or the mirror image.
9. The tape cassette according to claim 7, wherein:
10. The tape cassette according to claim 1, further comprising:
a tape guide portion that is provided on a downstream side of the tape exit on the feed path, and that guides the tape that is discharged from the tape exit and exposed,
at least a part of the first vertical information section is on a downstream side of a cassette center line in the feed path's direction, and is positioned such that a distance from the cassette center line is within a range of 14 to 20 percent of the tape exposure length, the cassette center line being a center line of the housing in the right-and-left direction.
11. The tape cassette according to claim 10, wherein a distance between center lines in the right-and-left direction of adjacent vertical information sections is within a range of 7 to 10 percent of the tape exposure length.
12. The tape cassette according to claim 1, further comprising:
13. A tape cassette, comprising:
the type indicator portion includes at least one first surface portion formed over at least two of the plurality of vertical information sections.
