Abstract

A shield strip includes an elongated central web, a plurality of printable identification plates for identifying electrical components, the plurality of identification plates being arranged on two sides of the central web in each case in succession along the central web and being connected to the central web via connecting webs, and at least two holding pins of a different shape and/or size being arranged on the central web, wherein the at least two holding pins are formed in each case for engagement in an associated mounting of a magazine of a printing device.

First claim

1 . A shield strip comprising: an elongated central web;
a plurality of printable identification plates for identifying electrical components, the plurality of identification plates being arranged on two sides of the central web in each case in succession along the central web and being connected to the central web via connecting webs; and at least two holding pins of a different shape and/or size being arranged on the central web, wherein the at least two holding pins are formed in each case for engagement in an associated mounting of a magazine of a printing device.

2 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the holding pins are formed differently in such a way that the shield strip can be inserted into a receptacle of a magazine, which receptacle has a correspondingly formed mounting for each holding pin only in one spatial orientation.

3 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the holding pins are of a different cross section and/or a different length.

4 . A shield strip, comprising
an elongated central web; a plurality of printable identification plates for identifying electrical components, the plurality of identification plates being arranged on the two sides of the central web in each case in succession in a row along the central web, and connected to the central web via connecting webs, wherein the shield strip is manufactured by injection moulding, and wherein at least two injection points, spaced apart in the extension direction of the central web, are formed on the central web.

5 . The shield strip according to claim 4 , wherein the central web and the identification plates extend in a plane, and
wherein the injection points are placed on the central web perpendicularly to the plane in which the identification plates extend.

6 . The shield strip according to claim 4 , wherein a shortest distance between an arbitrary point on the shield strip and the closest injection point along the shield strip is at most 50 mm.

7 . The shield strip according to claim 4 , wherein the shield strip comprises two injection points, which are arranged at a distance from one another that is between 30% and 60% of the length of the shield strip along the central web.

8 . The shield strip according to claim 4 , wherein the shield strip comprises three injection points, and
wherein distances between adjacent injection points are between 25% and 35% of the length of the shield strip along the central web.

9 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein at least one injection point is arranged on the central web opposite one of the holding pins.

10 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the individual identification plates are connected to a component of the shield strip via at least one predetermined breaking point.

11 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the shield strip is a single piece of an amorphous plastics material.

12 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the identification plates comprise, in each case, a printable surface, and
wherein the printable surfaces of all of the identification plates of the shield strip are positioned in a common planet over which no other part of the shield strip projects.

13 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein the identification plates comprise in each case a plate body which forms a printable surface and which is of a thickness of from 0.65 mm to 1.30 mm.

14 . The shield strip according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the shield strip along the central web is from 5.0 cm to 7.5 cm.

15 . (canceled)

16 . (Canceled)

17 . (canceled)

18 . A magazine for inserting shield strips into a printing device, comprising:
a plurality of receptacles which are formed so as to receive in each case a shield strip comprising a plurality of printable identification plates for identifying electrical components, wherein at least two mountings of different shapes and/or sizes are arranged on the receptacles in each case, and wherein the at least two mountings are designed to engage in each case in an associated correspondingly designed holding pin of a shield strip.

19 . The magazine according to claim 18 , wherein the two mountings are formed differently in such a way that a shield strip Which has a holding pin formed correspondingly for each mounting can be inserted into a receptacle only in one spatial orientation.

20 . The magazine according to claim 18 , wherein at least one recessed grip for gripping a shield strip arranged in the receptacle is provided on each receptacle.

21 . The magazine according to claim 18 , wherein each receptacle comprises at least one support web, against which a shield strip arranged in the receptacle is braced.
