2028~83 ~ label-continued sheet 10 includes long and narrow release base paper 12. The back surface of a label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 12 with an adhesive layer 18 formed thereon. The labels 14 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudi-nal direction of the label-continued sheet 10. The label 14 has, for example, an elliptical opening 16 formed in approx-imately the center thereof. The opening 16 may be rectangu-lar or circular as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, respectively.
The release base paper 12 consists of, for example, a long and narrow sheet made of such as paper and a synthetic resin. The release base paper 12 is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon.
Accordingly, the label 14 is releasably adhered to the release base paper 12.
A method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10 according to the present invention will be described below based on a representative manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
First, a lon~ belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one ,, ,1 l ! ' , ` ! ' ' principal surface of the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18 formed by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the label base paper 14a. Thus, a laminated sheet 11 is formed. The laminated sheet 11 is `::
. :
, ~
` - z~
wound around a holding roller 52 of a manufacturing appara-tus 50 in order to feed it to each manufacturing process of the label-continued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus S0 inc~udes the holding roller 52 for holding the laminated sheet 11. One end of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and re~ease base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 54.
The cut line forming device 54 comprises a die roll 56 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 56 forms a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a from the upper surface to the lower surface thereof. The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the out-ine of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration. The cut line forming device 54 may be of a flat type die cutter having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16.
The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the predetermined cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to a release plate 58.
The release plate 58 has a function of releasing an unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a from the laminated sheet ll including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. The unnecessary .

portion 17 is released from the laminated sheet 11 in the boundary between the adhesive layer 18 and the release base paper 12. The release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon travelling horizontally along the release plate 58 are folded down and then, moved downward in the backward direction. Thus, the -unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a is released from the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. Only the unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a moves horizontal-ly due to its rigidity.
The unnecessary portion 17 released from the release base paper 12 of the laminated sheet 11 by the release plate - 58 drops to a box 60. That is, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is formed on only the label base r"' paper 14a.
The laminated sheet 11 including the release base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 68 through guide rollers 62, 64, and j ~
66.
The press-cutting device 68 has a function of shaping the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed th~reon into the predetermined configuration. The press-~ . , ~.
---` 202~3 : -cutting device 68 includes a die roll 70 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the label 14. The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predeter-mined configuration is divided into the label portion 14 and the unnecessary portion 15 by the cut line 15a. Thereafter, a removing roller 76 winds the unnecessary portion 15 from the laminated sheet 11 including the label ~ase paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration. On the other hand, the label 14 is wound around a roller 78.
According to the label-continued sheet 10 thus manufac-tured, the opening 16 is not formed on the release base paper 12, but only on the label 14. Unlike the conventional label continued sheet in which an opening is formed on both the release base paper and the label, the label-continued sheet 10 is superior in that even though tension is applied to the release base paper 12 and the label 14 having the opening 16 formed thereon, it can be wound around the winding roller 78 without being wrinkled or displaced.
Accordingly, an automatic label sticking apparatus (not shown) is capable of correctly peeling the label 14 off the , .
release base paper 12 and sticking it to an-article at an appropriate position.thereof.

2028~83 ~ label-continued sheet 10 includes long and narrow release base paper 12. The back surface of a label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 12 with an adhesive layer 18 formed thereon. The labels 14 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudi-nal direction of the label-continued sheet 10. The label 14 has, for example, an elliptical opening 16 formed in approx-imately the center thereof. The opening 16 may be rectangu-lar or circular as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, respectively.
The release base paper 12 consists of, for example, a long and narrow sheet made of such as paper and a synthetic resin. The release base paper 12 is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon.
Accordingly, the label 14 is releasably adhered to the release base paper 12.
A method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10 according to the present invention will be described below based on a representative manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
First, a lon~ belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one ,, ,1 l ! ' , ` ! ' ' principal surface of the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18 formed by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the label base paper 14a.

wound around a holding roller 52 of a manufacturing appara-tus 50 in order to feed it to each manufacturing process of the label-continued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus S0 inc~udes the holding roller 52 for holding the laminated sheet 11. One end of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and re~ease base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 54.
The cut line forming device 54 comprises a die roll 56 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 56 forms a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a from the upper surface to the lower surface thereof. The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the out-ine of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration. The cut line forming device 54 may be of a flat type die cutter having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16.
The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the predetermined cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to a release plate 58.
The release plate 58 has a function of releasing an unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a from the laminated sheet ll including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. The unnecessary .

portion 17 is released from the laminated sheet 11 in the boundary between the adhesive layer 18 and the release base paper 12. The release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon travelling horizontally along the release plate 58 are folded down and then, moved downward in the backward direction. Thus, the -unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a is released from the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. Only the unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a moves horizontal-ly due to its rigidity.
The unnecessary portion 17 released from the release base paper 12 of the laminated sheet 11 by the release plate - 58 drops to a box 60. That is, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is formed on only the label base r"' paper 14a.
The laminated sheet 11 including the release base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 68 through guide rollers 62, 64, and j ~

The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predeter-mined configuration is divided into the label portion 14 and the unnecessary portion 15 by the cut line 15a. Thereafter, a removing roller 76 winds the unnecessary portion 15 from the laminated sheet 11 including the label ~ase paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration. On the other hand, the label 14 is wound around a roller 78.
According to the label-continued sheet 10 thus manufac-tured, the opening 16 is not formed on the release base paper 12, but only on the label 14.

Another method fo~- man~facturing the label-continued sheet 10 according to the present invention is described based on a manufactllring apparatus as shown in Fig. 4. ~; ;
~ irst, a long belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18 by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the base label paper 14a. Thus, a laminated sheet 11 is formed. The laminated sheet is wound around a holding roller 152 of a manufacturing apparatus 150 in order to feed it to each manufacturing process of the label-con-tinued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus 150 includes the holding roller 152 for holding the laminated sheet 11. One end of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and release base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 154.
The cut line forming device 154 comprises a die roll 156 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 156 forms a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a from the upper surface to the lower surface thereof.
The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the outline of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration.
