DE2614039A1 - Accumulator battery adhesive marker - has perforated region of different configuration round marker for easy removal - Google Patents

Abstract

The marking label for an accumulator battery is in the form of an adhesive foil which can be stuck on the accumulator casing surface. It carries the necessary markings refering to time or characteristics of the accumulator battery. Round the markings (12, 13) is provided a panel (12', 13'), bounded by perforation for weakened line. This panel can be thus removed by tearing off round the perforation or line. Preferably the several markings are provided and the respective panels have each a different configuration, e.g. round, triangular, square etc., of different size and colour.

Description

Accumulator markers

The invention relates to a battery marking means, attached to the surface of the battery housing and preferably as Adhesive film is formed and has at least one marker that has a Time or a mark.

In the case of accumulators, there are various methods of marking Identification and time data known; for example, such data are represented as numbers in the connection poles of the accumulator knocked in what due to the Impact stress can easily lead to leaks at the connection poles. It is also known to use accumulators with appropriate stamps or stickers provided, which are not satisfactory because they are soon caused by dirt or similar things become illegible. Another known marking agent is an adhesive film is used, which is glued to the surface of the housing and bears a number of markings underneath which are in the housing surface There are molded recesses and which are pierced for identification have to; such a marking agent with the associated depressions in the Housing surface requires a relatively large effort to achieve its purpose.

The invention is therefore based on the object of an accumulator marking means to create, the production and installation of which is easy and cheap and that can also be affixed so that it is legible over time.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that to or a field delimited by perforation or bleed next to the marking symbol is arranged, which can be removed due to the perforation or the gate is.

When the marking means has several marking characters and manipulation of these markings should be avoided to a large extent, then differ the individual fields according to the invention by different ones Configuration (e.g. round, triangular, square), different size or different Colour.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described and explained in more detail below. The figure shows a section of an accumulator housing with marking means glued to it, shown enlarged according to the invention.

In the figure, a section from the housing surface 10 is one not specially marked accumulator shown. On this surface 10 a marking means 11 according to the invention is glued on; the marking agent 11 shows a warranty card made of a plastic film and by means of an adhesive (not shown) is attached to the housing surface 10. This Marking means 11 contains two groups of marking symbols, which are identified by the reference symbols 12 and 13 are marked: are located on the left edge of the marking means 11 four markers 12, which identify the year of sale of the accumulator should (1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979). In the right half of the marker 11 are the markers 13, which identify the month of sale this accumulator should serve (1 ... 12). Next to each marker there is 12 a field 12 'marked, which differs from each other by its configuration differs (triangle, square, hexagon, circular area) and not only by one the perforation shown is still in connection with the marking means 11; Instead of the perforation, one produced by means of a punching tool or the like can also be used Bleed.

The marking marks 13 are each of such a perforated, if necessary also colored field 13 'included.

In this example, the field 12 'next to the year 1976 removed and the field 13 'with 5 as a marker 13, which identifies the month of May. The sale date thus revealed would be May 1976 and the warranty of this battery would last until May 1978 with a two-year guarantee. The arrangement of the markers 12 or

13 and the corresponding fields 12 'and 13' can be used in the inventive Marking means 11 can differ from case to case, and the distinguishing features such as the configuration, size and color of the fields 12 ', 13' combined differently with one another will. The removal of fields 12t resp.

13 'can, for example, by means of a pointed object such as a Knife, screwdriver or similar.

Such a marking means 11 is cheap to manufacture, but can be glued to the battery housing without any problems, there is no need for it special fixation and the fields 12 'and 13' are easily removable.
