TITLE OF THE INVENIION
METHOD FOR MANUF~C~JRING I.ABEL-CONTINUED SHEET
BACKGROUND OF TH~ INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufac-turing a label-continued sheet, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing- a label-continued sheet, having labels continuously releasably adhered thereto and spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal directlon thereof, suitable for being used by a label sticking apparatus which automatically feeds the above sheet and peels the label off a release sheet so as to stick the label to goods.
Description of the Prior Arts Fig. 5 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a method for manufacturing a conventional label-continued sheet. Fig. 6 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a label-continued sheet manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method shown in Fig. 5.
When a label 1 is releasably adhered to a long and narrow release sheet 3 through an adhesive layer 2 formed on the back thereof, a label base paper is punched to a re-quired configuration by a stamping device 4, for example, a cutting die comprising a roller. The unnecessary portion 5 of the stamped label base paper having stamp-out impressions is wound around a roller 6. Only the necessary portion, ~. A , namely, the label 1 is remporarily adhered to the release sheet 3. A label-continued sheet thus manufactured is wound around a rollex 7 so that the label-continued sheet can be mounted on an automatic label sticking device ~not shown). .. .
However, in the label-continued sheet manufactured by the above described conventional label manufacturing method, slits 8 formed by the punching device 4 penetrate into the release sheet 3. That is, as shown in Fig. 5, stamp-out impressions 9 are formed in the release sheet 3. ~
Accordingly, when the conventional label-continued ~.
sheet is used by mounting it on an automatic sticking machine (not shown) which automatically sticks the labels 1 to goods by releasing them one by one from the release sheet 3, it may occur that the label lS not normally released from ;~:
the release sheet 3 and to make the matter worse, the release sheet 3 corresponding to the stamp-out impressions 9 is torn by tensile force applied thereto.
~; ~
SUMMARY OF THE INVENIION
It is therefore the principal object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a label-con-tinued sheet which allows a label to be released from a release sheet without the release sheet being torn.
According to the present invention, a method for manufacturing a label-continued sheet having a plurality of ... . .
labels of certain configuration continuously temporarily adhered to one principal surface thereof with an adhesive comprises the steps of: cutting up a label base sheet into labels of a predetermined configuration before the label base sheet is temporarily adhered to the release sheet;
shaping said adhesive into ~ predetermined configuration corresponding to that of the label before the label is releasably adhered to the release sheet with the adhesive;
and laminating the label and the adhesive with each other and temporarily adhering the label to said release sheet through the adhesive.
According to the present invention, since a label is shaped by cutting up a label base sheet into labels of a predetermined configuration and the labels are then tempo-rarily adhered to a release sheet, the release sheet has no punched marks. Accordingly, when the label-continued sheet thus manufactured can be used, for example, ~y mounting it on an automatic label sticking machine, the release sheet is not torn.
These objects and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

D~SCRlPTION OF THE PR8F~REED EMBODIMENTS
Fig. 1 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying the manufacturing method according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a S' ' '' (~ ' sectional schematic illus~ration showing a label~continued sheet manufactured by the apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
The label-continued sheet 10 includes a release base paper 12 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface o~ the release base paper 12 with an adhesive layer 16. The labels 14 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 12. The release base paper 12 includes, for example, a long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin.
The sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 14 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 12.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet lO will be described below based on a typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
First, a long and narrow label base paper 14a which is cut up into labels 14 is wound around a holding roller 52 of a manufacturing apparatus 50 so that the label base paper 14a can be fed to the process for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10.
The apparatus 50 includes the holding roller 52 for holding the label base paper 14a. The label base paper 14a _ 5 _ .
~ ` ~
, . . , :.
~'r"i-~
i.5 unrolled from one end ihereof and then, fed to a printing or coating device 54.
The printing or coating device 54, including two rollers 54a and 54b, coats one principal surface of the label base paper 14a with an adhesive 16a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive. The lower portion of the roller 54a is immersed in an adhesive 16a contained in a pan 54c. There-~ore, when the label base paper 14a is sandwiched between the rollers 54a and 54b which are rotating, the label base paper 14a is coated with the adhesive 16a.
Thereafter, the label base paper 14a is guided, for example, to a dryer 56 including a heater. The dryer 56 dries the adhesive 16a which coats the label base paper 14a, so that the adhesive 16a serves as the adhesive layer 16 of the label base paper 14a. Then, the label base paper 14a is guided to a cutting device 58. The cutting device 58 cuts up the label base paper 14a into a plurality of labels 14 each having the same predetermined configuration. The labels 14 are sequentially guided to a sucking device 60.
The sucking device 60, including a sucking roller 62, sucks a plurality of labels 14 to hold them. The sucking roller 62 is connected with a negative pressure source (not shown) which generates a negative pressure. The peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62 sucks one principal surface ~unadhesive surface) of the label 14 while the sucking r ~
f~
~ oller 62 contacts one princ pal surface of the release base paper 12 in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62. Thus, sucking roller 62 releasably adheres a plurality of labels 14 to the surface of the release base paper 12.
The sucking roller 62 has a plurality of sucking openings ~not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. A negative pressure can be generated in the sucking openings by operating the negative pressure source.
Accordingly, when the other principal surfaces (unadhesive surface) of the plurality of labels 14 approa~h the periph-eral surface of the sucking roller 62, the sucking roller 62 holds the plurality of labels 14 sucked onto the peripheral surface thereof by the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface thereof.
The release base paper 12 is held around a roller 64.
The release base paper 12 is unrolled from one end thereof, thus passing a roller 66 and arriving at a roller 68 around which the release base paper 12 is wound.
The guide roller 66 contacts the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62. Therefore, when the release base paper 12 is guided between the sucking roller 62 and the guide roller 66, the adhesive layer 16 of the labels 14 held by the suc~ing roller 62 are sequentially adhered to the surface of the release base paper 12. Thus, the lab~l-continued sheet 1~ is formed. Thereafter, the label~
continued sheet 10 is wound around the roller 68. ~;
Owing to the method described above, the release base paper 12 of the label-continued sheet 10 has no stamp-out impressions 9 as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the label 14 can be released from the release base paper 12 without tearing the release base paper 12.
Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying another manufac- --turing method according to the present invention.
The label-continued sheet 110 includes a release base paper 112 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 114 is coated with, ~or example, a pressure sensitive adhesive so that the label 114 is I releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 112. The labels 114 are spaced at regular inter-vals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 112. The release base paper 112 includes, for example, a I long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin.
Ihe sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 114 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 112.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 110 will be described below based on a . .

typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 3. ~;
First, separate labels each having the same predeter-mined configuration are held by a label holding sec~ion 152 of a manufacturing apparatus 150 so that the labels 114 can be sequentially fed to the process for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 110.
The apparatus lsa includes the label hol~ing section 152 for accommodating the labels 114. A sucking device 154 is disposed in the vicinity of the holding section 152.
The apparatus 150, including a sucking roller 156, sucks a plurality of labels 114 accommodated in the label holding section 152. The apparatus 150 is connected with a negative pressure source tnot shown) which generates a negative pressure. The suckin~ roller 62 has a plurality of sucking openings (not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. The negative pressure can be generated in the sucking openings by operating the negative pressure source. Thus, the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 156 allows the sucking roller 156 to sucX a plurality of labels 114 one by one accommodated in the label holding section 152.
A printing or coating device 158 is arranged in the vicinity of the sucking roller 1~6. The label 114 held on the sucXing roller 156 is coated with an adhesive 116a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive by the printing or coating . ' ~''~'' _ 9 ~
' ~ ' ,, ~
, device 158 including two rollers 158a and 158b. The roller 158a is arranged so that the peripheral surface thereof contacts the surface of the label 114 held on the sucking roller 156. The lower portion of the roller 158a is im-mersed in an adhesive 116a stored in a pan 158c. According-ly, when the label 114 passes between the sucking roller 156 and the roller 158a, the label 114 is coated with the adhesive 116a with the rotations of the rollers 1~8a and 158b.
Thereafter, the label 114 contacts one principal surface of the release base paper 112 fed in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the roller 156.
Thus, a plurality of labels 114 can be temporarily adhered to the surface of the release base paper 112.
That is, the release base paper 112 is held by the roller 160. The release base paper 112 is unfastened from one end thereof, thus passing the guide roller 162 and arriving at a roller 164 arou~d which the release base paper 112 is wound. The guide roller 162 is arranged so that it can contact the peripheral surface of the sucking roller lS6. Therefore, between the sucking roller 156 and the guide roller 162, a plurality of the labels 114 held by the sucking roller 156 are sequentially temporarily adhered to the sur~ace of the release base paper 112 through the adhesive 116a. Thus, the label-continued sheet 110 is .~,.. .
~ 3 manufactured. Then, the label-continued sheet 110 is wound around the roller 164.
Fig. 4 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying the still another manufacturing method according to the present invention.
A label-continued sheet 210 includes a release base paper 212 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 214 is releasably adhered to one principal curface of the release base paper 212 with an adhesive layer 216. The labels 214 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 212. The release base paper 212 includes, for exam-ple, a long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin. The sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 214 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 212.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturin~ the label-continued sheet 210 will be described below based on a typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 4.
First, label base paper 214a which is cut up into the labels 214 is wound around a holding roller 252 of a manu~
facturing apparatus 250 so that the label base paper 214a can be f-ed to the process for manufacturing the label-con-.. .
tinued sheet 210. ~
'~
,:
The apparatus 250 inclu~es the holding roller 2~2 forholding the label base paper 214a. Th9 label base paper 214a is unrolled from one end thereof and then, fed to a printing or coating device 254.
The cutting device 254 cuts up the label base paper 214a into a plurality of labels 214 each having the same ~ -predetermined configuration. The labels 214 are sequential-ly guided to a sucking device 256.
The sucking device 256, including a sucking roller 25a, sucks a plurality of labels 214 to hold them. The sucking roller 258 is connected with a negative pressure source (not shown) which generates a negative pressure. The sucking roller 2~8 sucks one principal surface of the label 214 through the peripheral surface thereof. Thus, each time the sucking roller 258 contacts an adhesive portion of one principal surface of the release base paper 212 fed forward from a guide roller 272 in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258, the sucking roller 258 temporarily adheres a plurality of the labels 214 to the surface of the release base paper 212.
More specifically, the sucking roller 258 has a pluraL-ity of sucking openings ~not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. A negative pressure is generated in the sucking openings by operating ~he negative pressure source.
Accordingly, when a plurality of labels 214 approach the ' i .y .,i . ~ ~
, f~. fj peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258 which is rotating, the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258 allows the sucking roller 258 to suck the plurality o~ the labels 214 through one surface thereof.
The release base paper 212 is held around a roller 260.
The release ~ase paper 212 is unfastened from one end thereof, thus being guided to a printing or coating device 262.
The printin~ or coating device 262, including two rollers 264 and 266, coats one principal surface of the release base paper 212 with an adhesive 216a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive in such a manner that the adhe~
sive 216a is spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 212. There are provided on the surface of the roller 266 projections 266a spaced at regular intervals, the configurations of which are identical to that of the label 214. The lower portion of the roller 266 is immersed in an adhesive 216a stored in a pan 268. ~-~
Accordingly, when the release base paper 212 is guided between the rollers 264 and 266 which are rotating, the ;~
release base paper 212 is coated with the adhesive 216a at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the ;
release base paper 212. As described above, the ' - ~ .
- - 13 - .; ~
c't~
configuration of portions, of the release base paper 212, coa.ed with the adhesive 21~a are the same as that of the label 214.
The release base paper 212 is guided to, for example, a drier 27~ including a heater. The drier dries the adhesive 216a applied to the release base paper 212 to form the adhesive layer 216 thereon. The release base paper 212 passes the guide rollers 272 and 274, thus arriving at a roller 276 around which it is wound.
The guide roller 274 contacts the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258. The labels 214 held by the sucking roller 258 are sequentially supplied to the surface of the adhesive layer 216 of the release base paper 212 at a constant speed while the release base paper 212 is fed forward at a constant speed. Accordingly, each time the adhesive layer 216 passes between the sucking roller 258 and the guide roller 274, the labels 214 held by the sucking roller 258 are sequentially releasably adhered to the release base paper 212 through the adhesive layer 216. The label-continued sheet 210 is wound around the roller 276.

Fig. 1 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying the manufacturing method according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a S' ' '' (~ ' sectional schematic illus~ration showing a label~continued sheet manufactured by the apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
The label-continued sheet 10 includes a release base paper 12 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface o~ the release base paper 12 with an adhesive layer 16. The labels 14 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 12. The release base paper 12 includes, for example, a long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin.
The sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 14 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 12.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet lO will be described below based on a typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
First, a long and narrow label base paper 14a which is cut up into labels 14 is wound around a holding roller 52 of a manufacturing apparatus 50 so that the label base paper 14a can be fed to the process for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10.

The printing or coating device 54, including two rollers 54a and 54b, coats one principal surface of the label base paper 14a with an adhesive 16a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive. The lower portion of the roller 54a is immersed in an adhesive 16a contained in a pan 54c. There-~ore, when the label base paper 14a is sandwiched between the rollers 54a and 54b which are rotating, the label base paper 14a is coated with the adhesive 16a.
Thereafter, the label base paper 14a is guided, for example, to a dryer 56 including a heater. The dryer 56 dries the adhesive 16a which coats the label base paper 14a, so that the adhesive 16a serves as the adhesive layer 16 of the label base paper 14a.

The labels 14 are sequentially guided to a sucking device 60.
The sucking device 60, including a sucking roller 62, sucks a plurality of labels 14 to hold them. The sucking roller 62 is connected with a negative pressure source (not shown) which generates a negative pressure. The peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62 sucks one principal surface ~unadhesive surface) of the label 14 while the sucking r ~
f~
~ oller 62 contacts one princ pal surface of the release base paper 12 in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62. Thus, sucking roller 62 releasably adheres a plurality of labels 14 to the surface of the release base paper 12.
The sucking roller 62 has a plurality of sucking openings ~not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. A negative pressure can be generated in the sucking openings by operating the negative pressure source.
Accordingly, when the other principal surfaces (unadhesive surface) of the plurality of labels 14 approa~h the periph-eral surface of the sucking roller 62, the sucking roller 62 holds the plurality of labels 14 sucked onto the peripheral surface thereof by the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface thereof.
The release base paper 12 is held around a roller 64.
The release base paper 12 is unrolled from one end thereof, thus passing a roller 66 and arriving at a roller 68 around which the release base paper 12 is wound.
The guide roller 66 contacts the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 62. Therefore, when the release base paper 12 is guided between the sucking roller 62 and the guide roller 66, the adhesive layer 16 of the labels 14 held by the suc~ing roller 62 are sequentially adhered to the surface of the release base paper 12. Thus, the lab~l-continued sheet 1~ is formed. Thereafter, the label~
continued sheet 10 is wound around the roller 68. ~;
Owing to the method described above, the release base paper 12 of the label-continued sheet 10 has no stamp-out impressions 9 as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the label 14 can be released from the release base paper 12 without tearing the release base paper 12.
Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying another manufac- --turing method according to the present invention.
The label-continued sheet 110 includes a release base paper 112 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 114 is coated with, ~or example, a pressure sensitive adhesive so that the label 114 is I releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 112. The labels 114 are spaced at regular inter-vals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 112. The release base paper 112 includes, for example, a I long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin.
Ihe sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 114 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 112.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 110 will be described below based on a . .

typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 3. ~;
First, separate labels each having the same predeter-mined configuration are held by a label holding sec~ion 152 of a manufacturing apparatus 150 so that the labels 114 can be sequentially fed to the process for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 110.
The apparatus lsa includes the label hol~ing section 152 for accommodating the labels 114. A sucking device 154 is disposed in the vicinity of the holding section 152.
The apparatus 150, including a sucking roller 156, sucks a plurality of labels 114 accommodated in the label holding section 152. The apparatus 150 is connected with a negative pressure source tnot shown) which generates a negative pressure. The suckin~ roller 62 has a plurality of sucking openings (not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. The negative pressure can be generated in the sucking openings by operating the negative pressure source. Thus, the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 156 allows the sucking roller 156 to sucX a plurality of labels 114 one by one accommodated in the label holding section 152.
A printing or coating device 158 is arranged in the vicinity of the sucking roller 1~6. The label 114 held on the sucXing roller 156 is coated with an adhesive 116a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive by the printing or coating . ' ~''~'' _ 9 ~
' ~ ' ,, ~
, device 158 including two rollers 158a and 158b. The roller 158a is arranged so that the peripheral surface thereof contacts the surface of the label 114 held on the sucking roller 156. The lower portion of the roller 158a is im-mersed in an adhesive 116a stored in a pan 158c. According-ly, when the label 114 passes between the sucking roller 156 and the roller 158a, the label 114 is coated with the adhesive 116a with the rotations of the rollers 1~8a and 158b.
Thereafter, the label 114 contacts one principal surface of the release base paper 112 fed in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the roller 156.
Thus, a plurality of labels 114 can be temporarily adhered to the surface of the release base paper 112.
That is, the release base paper 112 is held by the roller 160. The release base paper 112 is unfastened from one end thereof, thus passing the guide roller 162 and arriving at a roller 164 arou~d which the release base paper 112 is wound. The guide roller 162 is arranged so that it can contact the peripheral surface of the sucking roller lS6. Therefore, between the sucking roller 156 and the guide roller 162, a plurality of the labels 114 held by the sucking roller 156 are sequentially temporarily adhered to the sur~ace of the release base paper 112 through the adhesive 116a. Thus, the label-continued sheet 110 is .~,.. .
~ 3 manufactured. Then, the label-continued sheet 110 is wound around the roller 164.
Fig. 4 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying the still another manufacturing method according to the present invention.
A label-continued sheet 210 includes a release base paper 212 serving as a long and narrow release sheet. The back surface of a label 214 is releasably adhered to one principal curface of the release base paper 212 with an adhesive layer 216. The labels 214 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 212. The release base paper 212 includes, for exam-ple, a long and narrow sheet such as paper and a synthetic resin. The sheet is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 214 is temporarily and releasably adhered to the release base paper 212.
Next, an example of a method for manufacturin~ the label-continued sheet 210 will be described below based on a typical manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 4.
First, label base paper 214a which is cut up into the labels 214 is wound around a holding roller 252 of a manu~
facturing apparatus 250 so that the label base paper 214a can be f-ed to the process for manufacturing the label-con-.. .
tinued sheet 210. ~
'~
,:
The apparatus 250 inclu~es the holding roller 2~2 forholding the label base paper 214a. Th9 label base paper 214a is unrolled from one end thereof and then, fed to a printing or coating device 254.
The cutting device 254 cuts up the label base paper 214a into a plurality of labels 214 each having the same ~ -predetermined configuration. The labels 214 are sequential-ly guided to a sucking device 256.
The sucking device 256, including a sucking roller 25a, sucks a plurality of labels 214 to hold them. The sucking roller 258 is connected with a negative pressure source (not shown) which generates a negative pressure. The sucking roller 2~8 sucks one principal surface of the label 214 through the peripheral surface thereof. Thus, each time the sucking roller 258 contacts an adhesive portion of one principal surface of the release base paper 212 fed forward from a guide roller 272 in the direction tangential with the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258, the sucking roller 258 temporarily adheres a plurality of the labels 214 to the surface of the release base paper 212.
More specifically, the sucking roller 258 has a pluraL-ity of sucking openings ~not shown) formed on the peripheral surface thereof. A negative pressure is generated in the sucking openings by operating ~he negative pressure source.
Accordingly, when a plurality of labels 214 approach the ' i .y .,i . ~ ~
, f~. fj peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258 which is rotating, the negative pressure generated on the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258 allows the sucking roller 258 to suck the plurality o~ the labels 214 through one surface thereof.
The release base paper 212 is held around a roller 260.
The release ~ase paper 212 is unfastened from one end thereof, thus being guided to a printing or coating device 262.
The printin~ or coating device 262, including two rollers 264 and 266, coats one principal surface of the release base paper 212 with an adhesive 216a such as a pressure sensitive adhesive in such a manner that the adhe~
sive 216a is spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the release base paper 212. There are provided on the surface of the roller 266 projections 266a spaced at regular intervals, the configurations of which are identical to that of the label 214. The lower portion of the roller 266 is immersed in an adhesive 216a stored in a pan 268. ~-~
Accordingly, when the release base paper 212 is guided between the rollers 264 and 266 which are rotating, the ;~
release base paper 212 is coated with the adhesive 216a at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the ;
release base paper 212. As described above, the ' - ~ .
- - 13 - .; ~
c't~
configuration of portions, of the release base paper 212, coa.ed with the adhesive 21~a are the same as that of the label 214.
The release base paper 212 is guided to, for example, a drier 27~ including a heater. The drier dries the adhesive 216a applied to the release base paper 212 to form the adhesive layer 216 thereon. The release base paper 212 passes the guide rollers 272 and 274, thus arriving at a roller 276 around which it is wound.
The guide roller 274 contacts the peripheral surface of the sucking roller 258. The labels 214 held by the sucking roller 258 are sequentially supplied to the surface of the adhesive layer 216 of the release base paper 212 at a constant speed while the release base paper 212 is fed forward at a constant speed. Accordingly, each time the adhesive layer 216 passes between the sucking roller 258 and the guide roller 274, the labels 214 held by the sucking roller 258 are sequentially releasably adhered to the release base paper 212 through the adhesive layer 216. The label-continued sheet 210 is wound around the roller 276.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the ,~ .
same is by way of illustration and example on~y and is not to be taken by way of limitatior., the spirit and scope of ;~ ~
