Description
Cross-reference to related applications
The application requires in the list of references U.S.'s patent application formerly 60/430216 of submitting on December 2nd, 2002 according to 35U.S.C.119 (e) and the priority of U.S.'s patent application formerly 60/453661 of submitting on March 11st, 2003.
Background technology
The present invention relates generally on fabric, label, relate more specifically on garment material, label.
The label of the various information of one or more expressions need be pasted usually by the manufacturer that clothes or other are finished fabric (such as towel, bedding, tablecloth etc.) on product, such as size, and fibre composition, points for attention and manufacturer's title or trade mark.Be different from price drop and similar label, the consumer can not remove these labels, but make its permanent attachment on product after buying product.In fact, these labels are commonly called permanent call tag in the industry, and the cloth that directly is sewn on the product by small pieces constitutes usually, has above-mentioned information on the described little cloth sheet.
Unfortunately, the permanent call tag on some product directly contacts the clothes of wearer skin such as underwear or label, and wearer is done not feel like oneself.So many wearers can be removed this permanent call tag, normally cut or tear.But this way obviously not only can be lost the information on the label, and itself also can spoil a dress when cutting off or tear permanent call tag off.
A solution of this problem is above-mentioned permanent call tag not to be sewn on the clothes, but to use heat transfer label on clothes.Comprise (a) support section in a kind of such heat transfer label structure, described support section comprises that (i) thickness is about the polyethylene film carrier of 4 Mills; (ii) be applied to the about 3 microns polyacrylate/ester of described carrier top/silicone remover; (b) shift part, described transfer portion branch comprises that (i) is located immediately at the thick about 3.5 microns protective layer in peel ply top; (ii) be positioned at one or more ink laies of the thick about 5-9 micron in protective layer top; (iii) be positioned at thick about 2 Mills, one or more ink laies top, fusing point is about hot activation polyester/ester/silicone viscous layer of 102-113 ℃.Usually, support section is the stuetch fabrics form, is intervally distributed with a large amount of discrete transfer parts.During use, the clothes of label is fixed on the axle, and the heat transfer label structure is put upside down, and the viscous layer of an one transfer part is attached on the clothes.To shift the viscous layer of part by being pressed on the clothes, by support section heating label construction at the support section top with heated press then.Structure heated make the viscous layer activation of pasting clothes.Unclamp heated press from support section then, the structure of heating is cooled off on clothes.Fully after the cooling, peel off support section, make the clothes that labeled from shifting part.Label construction is travelled forward, make another shift part and aim at, another part clothes is repeated this process with axle.
A problem of above-mentioned thermal transfer method is that the transfer part that is applied on the clothes must cool down before being stripped from from support section.If do not give a period of time the transfer of heating is partly cooled off, it is just unclean then to peel off the transfer part from support section, shifts part and just can't fully transfer on the clothes.This is debatable, because several seconds consuming time cooling steps to a few minutes can prolong labelled process, thereby limits the treating capacity of this process.

Another kind of proper supporting part 13 is described in references to U.S. patent 6423406.
Can sneak into the additive that accounts for the coating total weight of solids 0 to 50% that does not contain additive in the release coating 17, such as coating additive, wetting aid is such as surfactant (comprising silicone surfactant), slipping agent, antistatic additive.
Above-mentioned release coating 17 can also be applied on the bottom surface of polymeric carrier 15, and the viscous layer of weaving transfer part comprises that on single support section 13 a plurality of fit coileds of set of tags that shift part are secured on the back side of carrier 15 when rolling up.
Label 11 comprises that also transfer part 21 is (even only express a transfer part 21 on the support section 13 of oversize slightly in the accompanying drawing 1, only need on each support section 13, not arrange one to shift part 21 yet, but on as the common stuetch fabrics of support section 13 a large amount of identical or different transfer parts 21 of arranged at regular intervals).Preferably include (i) in the transfer part 21 and be printed directly on the protective paint layer 23 that peel ply 17 requires the top, position; (ii) be printed directly on enamelled coating 23 and require locational ink design layer 25; (iii) be printed directly on ink design layer 25; bottom 26 on any exposure position of protective paint layer 23 and the neighboring area of peel ply 17 and (iv) be printed directly on bottom 26 and the neighboring area of peel ply 17 on hot activation viscous layer 27.
The thickness of protective paint layer 23 preferably is about 2.54 * 10
-4Centimetre (0.1 Mill) can be formed by multiple different resins, can be water base and solvent based, as long as the enamelled coating 23 that forms has fabric acceptable rub proofness.Can be printed the mixing that comprises high Tg solvent phenoxyl resin and low Tg solvent based polyurethanes resin in the optimization formula of protective paint layer 23; the former is such as being PKHH phenoxy resin (InChem Corp.; Rock Hill; SC), the latter is such as being Estane 5715 polyurethane resins (Noveon, Inc.; Cleveland; OH), these resins preferably mix with organic solvent with 1: 3 ratio, and organic solvent is such as being cyclohexanone and/or dibasic acid ester (such as dimethyl adipate).In addition, preferably include a kind of viscosity promoter in the prescription, such as NB 80 isocyanates viscosity promoter (the Nazdar Ink of polymerized fatty family, Shawnee KS), thereby improves printing quality, the content of described viscosity promoter is about 0 to 10 weight %, is more preferably 2 to 8 weight %.Before printing, can also in prescription, add a small amount of (being lower than 1%) surfactant, such as Zonyl FSO fluorinated surfactant (DuPont, Wilmington, DE).
The mixing of above-mentioned low Tg polyether polyols with reduced unsaturation and high Tg phenoxy group polymer is desirable especially, because formed medium Tg mixture can provide " softness " sense of touch and appropriate polymerization modulus, prevent from label construction is being made from when rolling up, being entangled with agglomerating phenomenon.
Can be printed comprise in the another kind of optimization formula of protective paint layer 23 100 parts of Nazdar, 9627 transparent chromatography varnish (Nazdar Ink, Shawnee, KS) and 5 parts of NB 80 viscosity promoter.
Other protective paint layers 23 that are suitable for are as described in the following patent in the list of references: United States Patent (USP) 5800656; 6033763; 6083620; With 6099944.
When forming protective paint layer 23, above-mentioned lacquer dispersion solution alive is deposited on the requirement zone of peel ply 17, preferably adopts serigraphy, intaglio printing, hectographic printing or similar techniques.(about selecting serigraphy, the bed thickness that the particle diameter that the factor that designated layer such as which kind of technology print enamelled coating 23 will be considered in intaglio printing and the hectographic printing comprises composition to be printed and needs print.Serigraphy is suitable for the composition of greater particle size (being about the 100-200 micron) and the layer of thicker (being about the 5-200 micron) most.Intaglio printing is suitable for than the composition of small particle diameter (being no more than 1 or 2 micron) most and approaches the layer of (being about the 1-2 micron).Hectographic printing is suitable for the thin layer that particle diameter is no more than several microns composition and is about the 1-10 micron.)
Requiring on the position after the deposition coating compositions of layer 17, the volatile component in the evaporation composition only stays nonvolatile element, forms enamelled coating 23.
The ink design layer 25 that shifts part 21 can comprise single or multiple ink laies, can form by various printing ink, as long as form layers 25 have the viscosity that protective paint layer 3 and bottom 26 can both be accepted.Such as, when protective paint layer 3 comprises water-based resin, can use water-based inks, such as the water base screen printing ink of Aquasafe Gloss P.O.P. of Nazdar 2700 series (Nazdar, Shawnee, KS).On the contrary, when protective paint layer 23 comprises solvent-based resin, can use solvent-based ink, such as the polyester ink of Nazdar 9600 series.(when using the polyester ink of Nazdar 9600 series, can before printing, dilute these printing ink by the diluent with about 5-10%, such as Nazdar 9630 diluents.) preferably include viscosity promoter in the ink formulations, such as NB 80 viscosity promoter, be used to improve printing quality, the content of described viscosity promoter is about 0 to 10 weight %, is more preferably 2 to 8 weight %.Contain 100 parts of Nazdar 96PB22 blue inks and 5 parts of NB 80 viscosity promoter in the preferred ink formulations example.
The thickness of ink design layer 25 preferably is about 0.2 Mill, form by traditional deposition process, the preferred method for printing screen that adopts, can require to form on the position above-mentioned one or more ink composites enamelled coating 23 one or more, evaporate the volatile component in the ink composite then, only stay non-volatile printing ink component and form layer 25.
Be to be understood that, simple for what illustrate, ink design layer 25 shown in the accompanying drawing 1 (and shown in other accompanying drawings of the application) is the pantostrat on the enamelled coating 23, but ink design layer 25 is not conitnuous forms usually, but the labeling requirement image and/or the text that form by a plurality of separate units.
Be readily appreciated that,, can comprise in the ink design layer 25 being used for permanent call tag, common ID, the mark of special ID etc. according to the application-specific of label.In addition, as hereinafter specifying, at least one layer of transfer part 21 (promptly, enamelled coating 23, ink design layer 25, bottom 26, viscous layer 27) in can also comprise " watermark " or with the printed mark of pigment that can be excited by the light of specific wavelength or heat, thereby the security of products of labelling is screened, such as false proof.
When not needing to keep shifting the structural integrity of part 21 and caking property, can omit protective paint layer 23 or bottom 26 by protective paint layer 23 and bottom 26.
The thickness of viscous layer 27 preferably is about the 4-5 Mill, comprising one or more hot activation resins, can with the fabric good bond.Be suitable for forming the 5184p polyester powder adhesive (Bostik-Findley that comprise about 30 grams in a kind of cementitious compositions of viscous layer 27, Middleton, MA), about 60 gram water are as about 10 gram PKHW, 35 water base phenoxy group dispersions of adhesive, about 1 gram Dehydran, 1620 defoamers (Cognis Corp., Ambler is PA) with about 2-3 gram Tafigel PUR 61 thickeners (UltraAdditives, Inc., Clover, SC).Preferred above-mentioned polyester powder adhesive has and is no more than about 80 microns particle diameter, more preferably no more than about 38-40 micron, thereby helps the serigraphy of viscosity prescription.If (particle diameter of polyester powder adhesive is too big, then is difficult to this viscosity prescription is carried out serigraphy.)
Be different from the cementitious compositions of above-mentioned composition at another kind, (Noveon Inc.Cleveland OH) substitutes PKHW 35 water base phenoxy group adhesives with 10 gram Sancure, 1601 dispersions of polyurethanes; But the former composition is preferred, because the latter can cause label flavescence after repeating washing.It is believed that this variable color situation is that adverse effect between polyurethane binder and the washing conditioned disjunction environment causes.
The preferred deposition that adopts, serigraphy or similar approach, at (i) bottom 26 or enamelled coating 23 and any exposure position of ink lay 25 and the (ii) above-mentioned cementitious compositions of application on the neighboring area of release coating 17, evaporate the volatile component in the composition then, only stay nonvolatile element and form viscous layer 27.
When using label 11, fabrics such as viscous layer 27 and garment material contacts, carrier 15 bottoms are applied enough heats (such as using the pressing plate that heats), transfer part 21 is peeled off from support section 13, hot activation viscous layer 27 and requires object bonding.Label 11 can be applied to including, but are not limited to cotton on the various fabrics, nylon, polyester, artificial silk, Spandex (a kind of spandex) and mixing thereof.
By after shifting, peeling off support section 13 (" hot soarfing from ") generation matte finish from shifting part 21 at once, perhaps by after shifting, peeling off support section 13 generation gloss finishing from shifting part 21 again, the finishing type of the transfer part 21 that shows on the object of labelling is regulated through the short time cooling.
The inventor notices, when using label 11 draperies, can produce good label tack and wearability.Such as, be applied on the fabric after, the transfer of label part can exceed its original size along with associated fabric is stretched together, tangible phenomenon of rupture can not take place yet or reduce its picture quality through washing repeatedly.In addition, label 11 makes transfer part 21 form smooth surface on labelled object, and can be not wrinkling on object, and makes label produce " softness " sense of touch.And label 11 can not stay the perceived residue of vision on fabric, thereby makes the visual experience that object produces does not have label of labelling.
