BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  This invention is a continuous label in which a plurality of labels are continuously formed.the body'sConcerning the manufacturing method, in particular, a non-separable continuous label having no so-called release paper, which is suitable for use as, for example, a price tag or a barcode labelthe body'sIt relates to a manufacturing method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a label having no release paper called a so-called non-separable type, there is one in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of a delayed tack type heat-adhesive adhesive is formed on the back surface of heat-resistant polyethylene.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case where such a so-called hot-melt type pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed, it can be wound up and used without using a release paper. That is, before heating and melting the heat-adhesive adhesive to impart pressure sensitivity, it does not have adhesiveness, and therefore does not adhere even when rolled up. However, this conventional non-separable label is inevitably large in manufacturing equipment, has a large capital investment, and has to be heated to activate the heat-adhesive adhesive. As the substrate, for example, a material having low heat resistance such as an ultra-thin tape-like label continuous body cannot be used, so that a material having excellent heat resistance such as polyethylene must be selected. In addition, the range of selection is extremely limited, such as selection of a material that is not affected by the components contained in the adhesive forming the adhesive layer. Also, if the continuously formed label base material is smooth, there is a possibility that it cannot be transferred accurately. For example, when cutting to an appropriate size or performing appropriate printing, problems such as misalignment occur. It is likely to occur.
[0004]
  Therefore, the present invention expands the range of selection of the label base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, enables production of a large variety of small lots, can be transported accurately, and is cut to an appropriate length and pasted. Continuous label that can be attached to kimonothe body'sIt is to provide a manufacturing method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figure 1, LaIt is a perspective view which shows a bell continuum.
0015]
LaThe bell continuum 10 is formed by continuously forming a plurality of labels 12, and is transferred by an engagement hole 14 formed in the label continuum 10, and each perforation formed at the boundary of each label 12. 16 is cut and used as one label 12 each.
0016]
As shown in FIG. 1, the label continuum 10 has a label base on the core tube 18 so that the release agent layer 24 side and the adhesive layer 22 are temporarily attached to each other before use as the label 12. Although the material 20 is wound up in roll shape, when sticking, it unwinds and sticks. A perforation 16 is formed in the label base material 20 from the front surface to the back surface, and an engagement hole 14 formed of a penetrating circular hole is formed in the center in the width direction of each perforation 16. When this continuous label body 10 is attached to an object to be attached, an engaging protrusion formed on the surface of a roller serving as a transfer body for transferring the continuous label body 10 in a label sticking machine such as a handler labeler, It is transferred with the rotation of the roller while being engaged. Then, the transferred label continuum 10 is intermittently transferred, temporarily stopped, and stuck to the adherend while being cut at the perforation 16.
0017]
MiThe perforations 16 are perforated at predetermined intervals and can be cut into predetermined strips of labels 12. The long label substrate 20 includes, for example, paper, synthetic paper, and cellophane. It is desirable to use a material that can be cut with a mechanical instrument such as a hand or a cutter, such as a plastic film or sheet such as polystyrene or polyester, or an aluminum foil.
0018]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 formed by being transferred to the back surface of the label base material 20 is for giving an adhesive force to each label 12. For example, a known pressure-sensitive adhesive such as an acrylic copolymer resin or a rubber adhesive is used. Used.
0019]
The thermosensitive coloring layer 28 formed on the surface side of the label substrate 20 is formed, for example, by applying and drying a thermosensitive coloring agent containing a mixture of a transparent or monochromatic leuco dye, an acidic substance and a binder. In this case, as the leuco dye, for example, crystalline violet lactone, 3-indolino-3-P-dimethylaminophenyl-6-dimethylaminophthalide, 3-diethylamino-7-chlorofluorane, 2-diethylamino-7- Cyclohexylaminofluorane, 3-diethylamino-5-methyl-7-t-butylfluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-P-butylani For example, renofluorane.
0020]
Examples of acidic substances include 2,2-bis (4′-oxyphenyl) propane, 4-phenylphenol, 4-hydroxyacetophenone, 2,2′-dihydroxydiphenyl, 2,2′-methylenebis (4- Methyl-6-tert-butylphenol), 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol, 4,4′-isopropylidenebis (2-chlorophenol), 4,4′-isopropylidenebis (2-methylphenol), 4, Examples thereof include 4'-ethylenebis (2-methylphenol), 4,4'-thiobis (6-t-butyl-3-methylphenol) and the like.
0021]
Further, examples of the binder include water-soluble or aqueous emulsions such as polyvinyl alcohol, methoxycellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid, starch, gelatin, polystyrene, and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer. Etc. The thermosensitive coloring layer 28 can be colored by heating it with a thermal head of a printer or the like.
0022]
The release agent layer 24 formed on the surface side of the label substrate 20, that is, on the surface of the thermosensitive coloring layer 28, is formed by printing and applying a release agent. The release agent is cured at a temperature that does not affect the thermosensitive coloring layer 28 by ultraviolet rays or electron beams, such as UV silicon (so-called ultraviolet curable silicon) or EB silicon (so-called electron beam curable silicon). It is preferable to select one containing silicon resin or the like.
0023]
Next, an example of the manufacturing method shown in FIG. 1 will be described mainly based on FIG. FIG. 2 is an illustrative view showing the first half of the process.
0024]
First, a long belt-like process sheet 30 made of paper, film, sheet-like plastic or the like wound in a roll shape is prepared in a roll shape. The process sheet 30 is used only in the manufacturing process, and does not remain in the completed label continuous body 10. A release layer 30a having a peelability is formed on the surface of the process sheet 30 by printing and applying a release agent such as silicon resin or fluorine resin.
0025]
Next, the adhesive 32 that forms the adhesive layer 22 is printed and applied by the adhesive application device 100 on the surface of the release layer 30 a of the process sheet 30. The adhesive application device 100 includes two rollers 102 a and 102 b, and the lower portion of the roller 102 a is immersed in the adhesive 32 stored in the pan 104. Therefore, by rotating the rollers 102a and 102b, the adhesive 32 is printed and applied to the surface of the release layer 30a of the process sheet 30 guided to the site. In addition, as the adhesive coating device 100, a coating device such as a gravure roll coater, a reverse roll coater, or an air knife coater may be used, or a known printing machine such as a screen printing machine may be used.

In the dryer 106, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 32 printed and applied to the process sheet 30 is dried to form the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22. In the case of using an adhesive containing a water-soluble resin such as EVA, vinyl acetate, or acrylic as a pressure-sensitive adhesive 32 or a solvent-type adhesive made of vinyl chloride, urethane, acrylic, or the like, using a dryer, When using an EVA-based hot melt adhesive, a cooler is used.
0027]
Thus, the base paper 20a used as the label base material 20 is laminated | stacked on the adhesive layer 22 formed in the peeling layer 30a side of the process sheet | seat 30. FIG. The base paper 20 a is formed to have the same width as the process sheet 30, and the thermosensitive coloring layer 28 is already formed on the opposite surface laminated on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22. Further, perforations 16 (not shown) are formed in the base paper 20a from the front surface to the back surface at a predetermined interval. A hole (not shown) is formed.
0028]
In this way, the laminate 34 in which the process sheet 30, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22, and the label base material 20 are laminated is a label continuum that is a final product in a laminated state in advance before being led to the next printing process or the like. The slitter 108 is slit so as to have a width approximately similar to the width of 10, and it is wound in a roll after the slit.

Figure 3 is anotherNo laIt is sectional drawing of a bell continuum.
4 is an illustrative view showing one example of a manufacturing method of the example shown in FIG.
0032]
In the label continuum 50, a release agent layer 58 is formed on the surface of the label base material 54, and a printing layer 60 is formed on the surface of the release agent layer 58. However, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 56 is formed on the back surface of the label base material 54 in the same manner as in the example shown in FIG. 1, and the heat-sensitive color forming layer 62 is formed on the surface of the label base material 54. This is the same as the illustrated example. Moreover, as printing ink which forms the printing layer 60, it has peelability itself..
0033]
Figure3In the illustrated continuous label body 50, a laminate 70 of a label base material 54 and a processed sheet 64, which are responsible for the first half of the manufacturing process, is manufactured using the same apparatus as in the illustrated example of FIG. As shown in the example of FIG. 4, the manufacturing apparatus responsible for the latter half of the manufacturing method shown in FIG. 4 prints and applies the release agent 72 to the surface of the label substrate 54 of the laminate 70 with the release agent application device 220, as well as printing and application. The release agent layer 58 is cured by a curing device for curing the released release agent 72, and the print layer 60 is formed on the surface of the release agent layer 58 with the printing device 210 downstream thereof. Yes.
0034]
4, the slitter 240, which is an apparatus for adjusting the label base material 54 to the optimum width of the label continuous body 50, has the process sheet 64 peeled off from the adhesive layer 56 by the process sheet removing apparatus 230. It is provided downstream from immediately before being rolled up so as to be slit.
0035]
Next, how to use the example shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is an illustrative view showing a handler label in which the label continuous body 10 is used, FIG. 6 is a sectional view thereof, and FIG. 7 is an illustrative view thereof. As shown in FIG. 5, the label continuum 10 is loaded into the label continuum unwinding section 302 of the portable cleaver 300 of the label continuum.
0036]
This portable cutter 300 includes a casing 334 made of a synthetic resin such as plastic, a label continuous body holder, a grip lever 336, a handle 338, a sticking roller 310, and the like constituting the unwinding portion 302 of the label continuous body. Is provided. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a label continuum holder is provided at the upper end of the casing 334 of the portable cutter 300. On the other hand, a handle 338 protrudes from the rear end of the casing 334, and a grip lever 336 is rotatably attached to the lower side of the handle 338 by a shaft 312. The grip lever 336 is urged in the opening direction with respect to the handle 338 by a spring 344.
0037]
In addition, a sticking roller 310 is rotatably attached to the front end of the casing 334, and the sticking roller 310 is formed of a rubber roller having a protrusion on the surface thereof, and is rotatable about a shaft 346 provided in the casing 334. The label continuous body 10 fixed to the unwinding unit 302 is cut so as to be described later, and a label 12 formed by pressing the label 12 from above the object to be adhered is adhered. And the roll-shaped label continuous body 10 with which the unwinding part 302 was loaded is transferred to the feed roller 348 which comprises a part of 1st transfer means, being rewound. Since the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label continuous body 10 is in contact with the feed roller 348, a release treatment is performed so that the feed roller 348 does not adhere completely. That is, on the surface of the feed roller 348, a plurality of ridges 350 that are joined to the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the continuous label body 10 in a relatively narrow area are formed. The feed roller 348 is configured to rotate in the transport direction of the label continuous body 10. In other words, in the example shown in FIG.
0038]
A pitch determining roller 352 is rotatably formed above the feed roller 348 in parallel with the rotation axis of the feed roller 348. The pitch determining roller 352 has a substantially cylindrical shape in which engaging projections 354 for locking the locking holes 26 formed of through holes formed in the label continuous body 10 at a predetermined pitch are provided on the surface thereof at regular intervals. It is fixed to a shaft 356 that is rotatably mounted in the casing 334. The feed roller 348 and the pitch determining roller 352 are configured so as to come into slight contact with the label continuous body 10 interposed therebetween.
0039]
The label continuous body 10 fed by the feed roller 348 and the pitch determining roller 352 is placed on the surface of the transport belt 360 constituting a part of the first transport means wound around the annular groove 358 formed in the feed roller 348. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 surface is temporarily attached and sent. The conveyor belt 360 is a rubber belt having a circular cross section formed in an endless annular shape so that the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label continuous body 10 is temporarily attached in a relatively small area, and is rotatable in the casing 334 on the downstream side. It is spanned between a roller 364 formed on a shaft 362 provided on the shaft 362. Therefore, the conveyor belt 360 rotates with the rotation of the feed roller 348, and the adhesive layer 22 surface of the label continuous body 10 is temporarily attached to the contact surface of the conveyor belt 360. Be transported.
0040]
The label continuous body 10 sent by the first transfer means including the feed roller 348, the transport belt 360, and the like is appropriately near a roller 364 and is appropriately disposed by a cutter 366 constituting a cutting means formed further downstream. It is cut into long lengths. The label 12 cut by the cutter 366 is sent to the side of the conveying belt 368 constituting the second transfer means. The conveyor belt 368 is also composed of a rubber belt having an endless annular shape and a circular cross section similar to the conveyor belt 360 constituting the first transfer means. The conveyor belt 368 is disposed between a roller 370 that is rotatably formed in the casing 334 in the vicinity of the cutter 366 and a roller 372 that is rotatably formed in the casing 334 in the vicinity of the sticking roller 310. There are several bridges. The conveyor belt 368 is rotated so as to transport the label 12 in the downstream direction by a motor (not shown) connected to the roller 370 or the roller 372.
0041]
Therefore, the label 12 cut by the cutter 366 is fed in the downstream direction with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 surface on the back side of the label 12 being adhered to the upper surface of the transport belt 368, and from the lower part of the sticking roller 310 toward the front. It is formed to be fed out.
0042]
Next, a mechanism for rotating the feed roller 348 and the pitch determining roller 352 constituting the first transfer unit will be described. The feed roller 348 is fixed to a shaft 374 that is rotatably formed in the casing 334, and a gear 376 is fixed to the shaft 374 at a certain interval in the vicinity of the feed roller 348. Further, a ratchet wheel 378 is fixed to the shaft 374 at a constant interval in the vicinity of the gear 376 on the side opposite to the feed roller 348. Further, a wheel 382 having a gear 380 integrally formed on the outer surface thereof is fixed to the shaft 374 so as to be rotatable at a certain distance in the vicinity of the ratchet wheel 378 on the opposite side of the gear 376.
0043]
The gear 380 of the wheel 382 is fixed to the grip lever 336 and meshed with the segment gear 384 fixed to the grip lever 336 so as to rotate with the operation of the grip lever 336 about the shaft 312. On the opposite side of the wheel 382 from the gear 380, a fixing pin 388 for fixing the ratchet feed claw 386 toward the feed roller 348 is projected, and the ratchet feed claw 386 is formed at the center of the ratchet feed claw 386. The fixing pin 388 is rotatably fixed to the fixing hole 390.
0044]
Further, the reverse rotation prevention pawl 392 is fixed so that the ratchet wheel 378 does not rotate in the reverse direction (clockwise as viewed from the feed roller 348 side in the example shown in FIG. 5). The reverse rotation prevention claw 392 is rotatably fixed to a fixing pin 394 formed in the casing 334 through a fixing hole 396 formed in the trunk portion.
0045]
The gear 376 is engaged with a gear 398 fixed to the shaft 356 for rotating the pitch determining roller 352. The gear 398 has a ratchet claw removal pin 400 protruding from the surface on the ratchet feed claw 386 side so that the ratchet feed claw 386 is disengaged from the ratchet wheel 378.
0046]
In addition to the segment gear 384, the swing arm 372 is fixed to the front end of the grip lever 336, and a spring mounting shaft is provided between the fixed portion 336 a and the segment gear 384 projecting forward from the shaft 312 of the grip lever 336. 404 is erected. A spring 344 is bridged between the rear end of the handle 338 and the spring mounting shaft 404. The spring 344 is formed so that the grip lever 336 is biased in the opening direction with respect to the handle 338.
0047]
Next, operating states of the feed roller 348 and the pitch determining roller 352 will be described. The portable cutter 300 uses the grip 338 as the palm side and the grip lever 336 as the finger side to grip the handle 338 and the grip lever 336, and closes the grip lever 336 toward the handle 338 (see FIG. 5). When gripped in the direction (a), the segment gear 384 rotates downward (direction a in FIG. 5) around the shaft 312 and the tip of the swing arm 402 moves downward (direction a in FIG. 5). A cutter 366 attached to the distal end portion of the arm 402 cuts the label continuous body 10.
0048]
The direction in which the grip lever 336 is opened from the handle 338 (see FIG.5When rotated by the action of the spring 344 in the direction (b in the figure), the segment gear 384 rotates upward (the direction b in FIG. 5), and the gear 380 and the wheel 382 are rotated counterclockwise (the direction b in FIG. 5). The ratchet feed claw 386 fixed to the fixing pin 388 meshes with the teeth of the ratchet wheel 378 and rotates counterclockwise (b direction in FIG. 5) when viewed from the feed roller 348 side. As the shaft rotates, the shaft 374 rotates to rotate the gear 376 and the feed roller 348 in the counterclockwise direction (b direction in FIG. 5) when viewed from the feed roller 348 side.
0049]
Then, the gear 398 meshing with the gear 376 is rotated together with the shaft 356 in the clockwise direction (b direction in FIG. 5) when viewed from the feed roller 348 side, and the pitch determining roller 352 fixed to the shaft 356 is rotated in the clockwise direction (b in FIG. 5). Direction). Therefore, the label continuous body 10 sandwiched between the feed roller 348 and the pitch determining roller 352 is fed forward, and the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label continuous body 10 is temporarily attached to the surface of the transport belt 360, The pitch is determined by the pitch of the engagement protrusion 354 of the pitch determining roller 352.
0050]
When the grip lever 336 is tightened again, the swing arm 402 is moved downward, and the segment gear 384 is rotated counterclockwise (a direction in FIG. 5) as viewed from the feed roller 348 side with the shaft 342 as the pivot. The gear 380 of the 382 is rotated clockwise (a direction in FIG. 5) when viewed from the feed roller 348 side, and the ratchet feed claw 386 fixed to the fixing pin 388 is removed from the tooth portion of the ratchet wheel 378, and the wheel 382 is moved by a predetermined distance. Rotate with.
0051]
At this time, the ratchet claw removal pin 400 formed on the gear 398 pushes the claw removal roller 406 of the ratchet feed claw 386 so that the ratchet feed claw 386 is surely removed from the teeth of the ratchet wheel 378, and the fixing pin 388 is pivoted. As a result, the ratchet feed claw 386 rotates in the clockwise direction (a direction in FIG. 5) as viewed from the feed roller 348. At this time, since the reverse rotation preventing claw 392 meshes with the tooth portion of the ratchet wheel 378, the ratchet wheel 378 does not rotate in the clockwise direction (a direction in FIG. 5) as viewed from the feed roller 348. The ratchet claw removing pin 400 may be formed in the casing 334 so as to perform the above-described action.
0052]
Next, a display device that forms a display unit on the surface of the label 12 will be described. In this embodiment, the thermal head 410 is provided above the conveyor belt 368 as the second transfer means, and the platen 412 is provided opposite to the label 12. The platen 412 is formed in a columnar or prismatic shape made of hard rubber or the like that holds the label 12 during printing.
0053]
In the thermal head 410, a large number of heating elements are formed in a required pattern on the surface of a substrate made of, for example, ceramic. The pattern of the heating elements is arbitrary, but for example, dot-shaped heating elements may be formed in a plurality of rows and columns, or segmented heating elements may be arranged in a Japanese character shape. Then, each lead drawn from each heating element is connected to a power source and other circuits. The thermal head 410 and the platen 412 are always separated from each other, and the thermal head 410 is actuated appropriately by, for example, a spring or a solenoid in response to energization of the thermal head 410 by a print signal output from the control circuit 414 or a signal preceding this. Then, after the thermal head 410 and the platen 412 are pressure-bonded and an image line such as an appropriate character or bar is printed, the pressure-bonding of the platen 412 is released by a print signal.
0054]
The operation of the printing apparatus and the second transfer means for moving the label 12 are formed so as to operate correspondingly. For example, the position of the label 12 is confirmed by a sensor such as a photosensor, and the label 12 is heated. An image line such as an appropriate character may be printed by color development. The printing device as the display means is not composed of the thermal head or the like as in this embodiment, and the ink roller is rolled on the type surface of the ring rubber type band to apply the ink. You may replace with the printing apparatus formed so that the applied type surface may contact | abut to the label 12 surface, and it may print. Further, the printing device as the display means may be formed on the side of the conveyance belt 360 as the first transfer means.
0055]
In order to use this invention, it is not limited to the said utilization form, It can change variously. For example, the cutter 366 constituting the cutting means may be operated by an electric motor such as a motor without being formed so as to be operated by gripping or releasing the grip lever 336. Therefore, the grip lever 336 may not be formed, and a switch or the like may be appropriately provided in the handle 338 so that the motor can be operated. And the position and shape formed in the casing 334 of the handle 338 may be configured so that the portable cutting device can be easily handled.
0056]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, a spring 420 may be wound around the fixing pin 388 in order to ensure the operation of the ratchet feed claw 386.8In order to ensure the operation of the reverse rotation prevention pawl 392, a spring 422 may be wound around the fixing pin 394, and the reverse rotation prevention pawl 392 may be biased toward the ratchet wheel 378.
0057]
Also, LaThe engagement hole 14 formed to ensure the feeding of the bell continuous body 10 is a circular hole formed at an appropriate interval in the center of the label continuous body 10. As shown in (B) and (C), for example, the engagement hole 14 may be formed by a through-hole such as an X shape, a U shape, or a Y shape instead of the circular hole. In this case, the engagement hole 14 is expanded by the engagement protrusion, and has a hole shape that matches the shape of the engagement protrusion to be engaged.
