Adaptor

A badge holder for holding a badge includes a front piece and a back piece opposite the front piece. The back piece is coupled to the front piece to provide a holding slot for the badge. A first ejector has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is rotatably coupled to at least one of the front piece and the back piece. The first ejector is configured to rotate such that the distal end forces at least a portion of the badge out of the holding slot.

A printer comprises a body, a display pivotally coupled to the body, and a cover pivotally coupled to the body. The display and the cover can be positioned relative to each other such that the cover overlaps the display when the display is not in use.

Printer device

Labels are permanently attached to a substrate, e.g., a tissue cassette, by use of a staking device. The device comprises a staker assembly and a cassette fixture assembly. The cassette fixture assembly includes a slot and a clamping assembly for securing the cassette within the device. The staker assembly includes a set of probes that are heated and sequentially moved into a position to burn a hole in a label that is provisionally attached to the cassette, and then the substrate is melted and displaced through the hole to form a collar bond that permanently attaches the label to the cassette. The label remains attached to the cassette when exposed to harsh environmental conditions, e.g., high heat, high humidity, solvents, etc.
