Abstract
A hand labeling device for imprinting and dispensing self-adhesive labels comprises a housing (110) in which is disposed a printing mechanism (10) movable between a raised inoperative position and a lowered printing position. The printing mechanism comprises a plurality of axially adjacent setting wheels (16) with which type carriers (20) carrying printing types (22) are in a drive connection. A setting shaft (42) extending in the direction of the axis of the setting wheels (16) and connected to the printing mechanism (10) projects outwardly at a housing wall (110a); it is displaceable at a side face of the printing mechanism (10) between an inserted and an extended position and with the aid of said shaft the setting wheels (16) can be adjusted relatively to each other in such a manner that desired printing types (22) on the type carriers (20) move into a printing zone at the printing mechanism (10). Connected to the setting shaft (42) is a stop body (128) which extends parallel thereto and is displaceable with the setting shaft (42) between an extended and an inserted position. In the path which the stop body (128) describes in the extended condition when the printing mechanism (10) is lowered into the printing position a stop edge (126) fixed with respect to the housing is disposed.
