DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fabric label which can be sewn to a textile product to prevent theft or shoplifting of the textile product, and which is more beautiful and softer than a conventional product.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, large numbers of self-service stores and convenience stores open all night in Japan have increased, and theft or shoplifting of goods at the time of sale has reached several percent of the total sales. It has become. Preventing theft or shoplifting of goods is also important in shops that sell expensive clothing, sports equipment, jewelry and precious metals, and the profits that should be stolen or shoplifting disappear, or in extreme cases, theft or shoplifting It can cause bankruptcy.

[0003] On the other hand, in Japan, labor costs are very high, and when the number of sales staff is calculated from expected profits, the number of staff members is often smaller than the number of products sold and the floor space. The rise in labor costs has led to the hiring of part-time students and part-time workers with relatively low labor costs, and theft of goods by poorly-qualified sales staff has become a problem that cannot be ignored.
Based on the current state of the retail business, various monitoring and security systems have already been proposed, and various systems have been introduced in the textile product retail industry.

[0004]

In the textile product retailing industry, there are generally many small items, a large amount of sales, and special sales forms such as try-on. Theft prevention is incomplete. For this reason, a sensor such as a radio wave type or magnetic type is attached to each product displayed in the store, and if you pass the detection gate at the entrance with the tagged product without erasing the tag information, the sensor will A notification system that responds and emits a warning sound is used. The tag is in the form of a sheet or a plate, and is attached to a soft fiber product with a vinyl pin. However, the fastening with the vinyl pin does not completely prevent theft or shoplifting because shoplifters may tear off the sensing tag in the fitting room or toilet.

In order to completely prevent theft and shoplifting of textile products, self-sounding tags and ink tags have also attracted attention. In the former, a tag is attached to a product through a wire, and an alarm sounds when the tag is removed from the product or the wire is cut. In the latter case, if the tag filled with the ink of the special component is forcibly removed, the ink adheres to the product or the culprit, causing the value of the product to be lost instantaneously. Since these tags are relatively large plates and are hard, they give a sense of incongruity to a soft fiber product, and also cause a problem that a shock given by an erroneous operation by a customer is too strong.

The present invention has been proposed in order to improve the above-mentioned problems relating to the conventional anti-theft / shoplifting system. The present invention is not torn in a fitting room or a toilet and almost eliminates theft or shoplifting of textiles. It is intended to provide a fabric label that can be completely prevented. Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti-theft cloth label that is more beautiful and softer than conventional anti-shoplifting markers and can be sewn to soft textiles such as athletic clothing and underwear without any incongruity. It is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a cloth label 1 according to the present invention comprises at least a cylindrical double woven label body 2 as shown in FIGS. An appropriate pattern 3 is formed on the surface thereof, and a sheet-shaped sensing marker 4 is provided in the label body.
Is enclosed. The label body 2 can be woven from a wide woven fabric 10 as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, it can be woven into a sack tape using a narrow width loom.

The graphic pattern 3 on the label surface may be directly woven on the label body 2 as a woven label, or may be printed and applied on the plain label body 2. And the cutting instruction mark 26 are woven. The sensing marker 4 to be enclosed may be any of a radio wave, an electromagnetic wave or a magnetic type as long as it emits a warning sound when passing through a pair of detection gates (not shown). Those are preferred.

Preferably, in the present invention, a predetermined number of hot-melt yarns 5 are woven laterally behind each label main body 2 in the label main body 2 that is double-woven into a tubular shape.
The hot-melt yarn 5 means a yarn that melts and fuses at a considerably lower temperature than the yarn constituting the label body 2 when woven as a weft yarn. After inserting the sensing marker 4 into the label main body 2 by weaving the hot-melt yarn 5, it is possible to seal the hot-melt yarn 5 by fusing the hot-melt yarn 5 only by applying heat and pressure.

On the other hand, in the method of the present invention, as is apparent from FIGS.
Single woven portions 11 and 1 of a predetermined width are separated at regular intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions by separating the double-woven front and back woven fabrics without contacting each other.
2 and weaving. At this time, the loom 14 (FIG. 5)
In this case, it is preferable that the hot-melt yarn 5 is woven in the horizontal direction every label length.

In the method of the present invention, the loom 14 generally weaves the wide woven fabric 10 while vertically weaving the single woven portion 11 in the longitudinal direction.
In the inside, heat cutting is performed in a tape shape, and further cutting is performed for each single woven portion 12 in the lateral direction. This cutting is also usually performed by heat cutting. As a result, a cylindrical label body 2 having one side opening is formed, and the label body 2 is further opened to enclose a sheet-shaped sensing marker 4. If the hot-melt yarn 5 is woven, by applying heat and pressure, the portion of the hot-melt yarn 5 can be fused and the sensing marker 4 can be closed.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 3, when weaving a wide fabric 10 used in the present invention, the fabrics on the front and back sides of the double weave are separated from each other without being in close contact with each other, and are fixed in the vertical and horizontal directions. The single woven portions 11 and 12 having a predetermined width are mixed at intervals. The yarn constituting the wide fabric 10 is usually made of a thermoplastic fiber such as polyester, acrylic or nylon. In the wide weave fabric 10 of the double weave, the orthogonal single weave portions 11 and 12 are arranged in a lattice plane by plain weave or ridge weave, and the single weave portions 11 and 12 are arranged.
The width of 12 is generally between 5 and 10 mm.

The hot-melt yarns 5 are woven in the weaving machine 14 in the transverse direction one by one for each label body 2, and at this time, the hot-melt yarns 5 are fed by a weft supply device (not shown) of the loom 14 in the same manner as ordinary wefts insert. The hot-melt yarn 5 is formed of a filament obtained by spinning a known thermoplastic resin, and the thermoplastic resin is polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or the like having a lower melting point than the constituent yarns of the wide fabric 10. This filament is used by twisting one or more filaments. If the filament cannot be used simply by twisting one or more filaments, twist it with other ordinary fibers or wrap it around other fibers. Composite yarn.

Each label body 2 obtained by cutting the double woven wide fabric 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions has single woven portions 11, 12 and 12.
It has a cylindrical shape with one side opening, and is closed after inserting the sensing marker 4. The sensing marker 4 may be any of a radio wave, an electromagnetic wave, and a magnetic type, and a thinner and smaller one is selected according to the internal space size of the label body 2. It is easy to enclose the sensing marker 4 by fusing the hot-melt yarn 5 only by applying heat and pressure. However, the sensing marker 4 may be fixed with a fiber adhesive or a sewing machine without using the hot-melt yarn 5. Alternatively, the label 1 may be closed simultaneously with sewing.

[0015] The sensing marker 4 to be used is preferably one generally referred to as a soft tag or a label tag so as not to give a sense of incongruity to the soft fiber product.
If you cut off the marker, a slightly harder marker may be used. When the cloth label 1 is sewn to costumes or the like, it is necessary to erase the detection mark of the marker 4 at the time of lending and to add the detection mark of the marker at the time of return. When the cloth label 1 is sewn to a textile product and sold out together with the product, if the detection mark of the detection marker 4 is magnetically printed or metal-deposited on the plastic film, the label is decomposed over time or is soluble in water or solvent. It is preferable that the sensing marker 4 disappears with continued use of the textile using the plastic.

The cloth label 1 is sewn to a textile such as a sports shirt 15 as illustrated in FIG.
The goods sewn with the label 1 are displayed in the store as appropriate, and when the goods are passed through the entrance / exit detection gate without erasing the detection mark of the detection marker 4, the sensor reacts and emits a warning sound. Ring and report to the clerk. Although not shown, the pair of detection gates may be a known one, and instead of the gate type, an upper wall-embedded type or mat type at the entrance may be used.

[0017]

Next, the present invention will be described based on examples, but the present invention is not limited to the examples. In FIG. 5, a loom 14 for weaving the wide fabric 10 is, for example, a rapier loom, and a jacquard machine 17 is installed above the loom.

In the jacquard machine 17, a plurality of thread 18 connected to a heald for passing each warp is connected to one crown 19, and although not shown, each crown is connected to a vertical needle and connected to this vertical needle. The horizontal needle moves in accordance with the pattern paper pattern to simultaneously form the symbol pattern 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pattern 3 has an appropriate trademark 25 and a cutting instruction mark 26.
Are woven in a pair to face each other. Meanwhile, the loom 14
, A large number of hot knives 20
And heat cut into a tape shape immediately after weaving the wide fabric 10. A number of strips 24 (see FIG. 4) obtained by heat cutting are wound on reels 23, respectively.

The wide fabric 10 woven by the loom 14 is made of polyester fiber yarn, and has a width of about 70 to 260.
cm. When weaving the wide woven fabric 10, the double woven front and back woven fabrics are separated without being in close contact with each other, and the plain woven or ridge single woven portions 11, 12 are spaced at regular intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions.
Mix. In the wide fabric 10 shown in FIG. 3, the label bodies 2 are arranged at intervals of 30 mm in length and 82 mm in width,
The width of the single woven portions 11 and 12 is 8 mm.

The hot-melt yarn 5 is made of, for example, a polypropylene filament, and is attached to each label body 2 on a loom 14.
Insert in the transverse direction every length of, and weave so that it is exposed inside the double weave. In this case, the hot-melt yarn 5 is inserted by a weft supply device (not shown) of the loom 14 in the same manner as a normal weft yarn. For example, one or two rapiers are used in a rapier loom, and small-sized in a gripper shuttle loom. Using a gripper shuttle, an air jet loom injects and inserts air.

The wide woven fabric 10 of double weave is formed by a hot knife 20 juxtaposed immediately after weaving.
It is heat-cut at 1a and wound up as a long strip 24 (FIG. 4). In the belt-like body 24, the upper and lower single woven portions 1
The width of 1 is about 4 mm. The belt-shaped body 24 is further horizontally heat-cut by a separate heat cutter (not shown) at the longitudinal center 12 b of the single woven portion 12 and the middle 13 between the single woven portions 12, 12 to obtain the individual label bodies 2.
One end of each label body 2 is sealed with a single woven portion 12 having a width of 4 mm, the hot melt yarn 5 is located near the opening at the other end, and the surface thereof is composed of an appropriate trademark 25 and a cutting instruction mark 26 respectively. The pattern 3 is woven.

A 15 × 22 mm sheet-shaped sensing marker (trade name: Acoustic Magnetic, manufactured by Sensomatic Electronics Corporation) 4 is inserted into each label main body 2, and the location of the hot-melt yarn 5 with a soldering iron is inserted. And the sensing marker 4 is enclosed to obtain a fabric label 1 (FIG. 1). The cloth label 1 is, for example,
Thereafter, the end 28 is sewn to a textile such as the sports shirt 15 by sewing. The sports shirt 15 may be arbitrarily displayed in the store. When the shirt is sold, the position of the instruction mark 26 is cut off with scissors at the cash register, and the cloth label 1 is removed.

On the other hand, the displayed sports shirts 15
However, when the sensor passes through the entrance / exit detection gate without erasing the detection mark of the detection marker 4, the sensor reacts and sounds a warning sound to notify the clerk. In addition, it is possible to emit a warning sound and blink a signal, or to notify only by a blink signal.

[0024]

Since the fabric label according to the present invention is sewn to the textile itself, it is not torn in a fitting room or a toilet, and the textile label can be stolen or shoplifted at a pair of detection gates. Almost completely prevented. If you sell a textile product sewn with a textile label, you only need to erase the mark of the sensing marker at the cash register or cut the textile label with scissors.

The fabric label of the present invention has almost the same appearance as a normal woven label, and is much more beautiful and softer than conventional anti-shoplifting markers, so that soft labels such as exercise clothes and underwear can be used. It can be sewed on textile products without discomfort. Large self-service stores and convenience stores that are open all night can sew the fabric label of the present invention at their own retail stage, preventing theft and shoplifting of several percent when selling textile products, Can prevent profits from disappearing due to theft or shoplifting.
