Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Etikettenband, mit in Reihe auf einem Trägerband haftenden Selbstklebeetiketten zur Verwendung in Etiketten-Bedruck- und Ausgabegeräten, die mit einer die Etiketten schrittweise fördernden Abzugsvorrichtung ausgerüstet sind.The invention relates to a label tape, with self-adhesive labels adhering in series on a carrier tape for use in label printing and dispensing devices, which are equipped with a pull-off device which gradually conveys the labels.

Derartige Etikettenbänder sind bekannt aus der US-PS 20 95 437, der DE-PS 12 05 888 und der DE-AS 14 86 149. Diese Etikettenbänder werden in Preisauszeichnungsgeräten verarbeitet, in denen die Etiketten bedruckt werden und anschließend in eine Spendstellung gebracht werden, in der sie vom Trägerband zumindest weitgehend gelöst sind und durch ein Andrückglied, zum Beispiel eine elastische Rolle gegen einen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand gedrückt werden können.Such label tapes are known from US-PS 20 95 437, DE-PS 12 05 888 and DE-AS 14 86 149. These label tapes are processed in price labeling devices in which the labels are printed and then brought into a dispensing position, in which they are at least largely detached from the carrier tape and can be pressed against an object to be labeled by a pressure element, for example an elastic roller.

Mit Hilfe dieser Etiketten-Bedruck- und Ausgabegeräte ist es auch möglich, eine Kette bedruckter Etiketten auszugeben, sofern Etikettenbänder benutzt werden, bei denen die Etiketten nur durch einen einfachen Trennschnitt oder aber durch eine Perforierung voneinander getrennt sind. Werden derartige Etikettenbänder beispielsweise in ein Handpreisauszeichnungsgerät nach der DE-PS 12 24 661 eingelegt und das Handetikettiergerät nur als Etikettendrucker benutzt, dann wird aus diesem Gerät eine Kette aneinanderhängender bedruckter, vom Trägerband gelöster Selbstklebeetiketten aus dem Gerät ausgestoßen. Die Selbstklebeetiketten hängen dann über eine Leimbrücke oder aber über eine Perforierung aneinander und können leicht voneinander getrennt werden. Die bedruckten Etiketten können dann von Hand an einen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand angebracht werden.With the help of these label printing and output devices, it is also possible to output a chain of printed labels, provided label strips are used in which the labels are separated from one another only by a simple separating cut or by perforation. If such label tapes are inserted, for example, into a hand-held price labeling device according to DE-PS 12 24 661 and the hand-held labeling device is used only as a label printer, then this is used A chain of printed self-adhesive labels attached to one another and released from the carrier tape is ejected from the device. The self-adhesive labels then hang together using a glue bridge or perforation and can be easily separated from one another. The printed labels can then be attached by hand to an object to be labeled.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, Etiketten auch an solche Flächen mühelos anzubringen, die mit dem Andrückglied des Etikettiergerätes nicht oder nur schwer erreichbar sind. Bei dieser Methode besteht aber der Nachteil, daß die Selbstklebemittelschicht der bedruckten Etiketten nicht mehr durch das Trägerband geschützt ist. Es können deshalb nur relativ wenig Etiketten nacheinander bedruckt und von Hand an die zu etikettierenden Flächen angeklebt werden, weil andernfalls die Gefahr besteht, daß die bedruckten Selbstklebeetiketten miteinander verkleben oder mit ihrer Selbstklebeschicht an Flächen geraten, auf die sie nicht haften sollen. Auch macht es Schwierigkeiten, derartige, vom Trägerband befreite Selbstklebeetiketten aufzubewahren.In this way, it is possible to apply labels effortlessly to such surfaces that are difficult or impossible to reach with the pressing member of the labeling device. However, this method has the disadvantage that the self-adhesive layer of the printed labels is no longer protected by the carrier tape. It is therefore only possible to print a relatively small number of labels one after the other and glue them onto the surfaces to be labeled by hand, because otherwise there is a risk that the printed self-adhesive labels stick to one another or get onto surfaces to which they should not adhere with their self-adhesive layer. It is also difficult to store such self-adhesive labels that have been freed from the carrier tape.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Etikettenband der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die geschilderten Nachteile nicht auftreten und bei dem die bedruckten Etiketten entweder von dem Andrückglied des Etikettiergerätes an einen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand gedrückt werden können, oder aber eine Reihe bedruckter Etiketten ausgegeben werden können, deren Selbstklebemittelschicht zumindest weitgehend geschützt ist.The object of the invention is to provide a label tape of the type mentioned, in which the disadvantages described do not occur and in which the printed labels can either be pressed by the pressing member of the labeling device onto an object to be labeled, or a series of printed labels can be output can be, whose self-adhesive layer is at least largely protected.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß unter dem Trägerband ein durchgehendes Unterlageband angeordnet ist, das mit dem Trägerband oder den Selbstklebeetiketten mit relativ geringer Haftkraft leicht lösbar verbunden ist, Wird ein derartiges Etikettenband in ein Preisauszeichnungsgerät eingesetzt, dann kann der Etikettenvorschub dadurch bewirkt werden, daß entweder nur das Unterlageband von der Abzugsvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes schrittweise abgezogen wird oder aber das Unterlageband zusammen mit dem Trägerband von dieser Abzugsvorrichtung schrittweise abgezogen wird. Im ersteren Falle löst sich an der Umlenkvorrichtung des Preisauszeichnungsgerätes das Trägerband zusammen mit den darauf haftenden Selbstklebeetiketten vom Unterlageband ab. Man erhält also einen Streifen, der sich zusammensetzt aus einem Trägerband und darauf haftenden bedruckten Etiketten.This object is achieved in that a continuous backing tape is arranged under the carrier tape, which with the carrier tape or the self-adhesive labels with a relatively low adhesive force is easily detachably connected, If such a label tape is inserted into a price labeling device, then the label feed can be brought about by either gradually removing the backing tape from the pull-off device of the labeling device or by pulling the backing tape together with the carrier tape is gradually withdrawn from this trigger device. In the former case, the carrier tape, together with the self-adhesive labels adhering to it, detaches from the backing tape on the deflection device of the price labeling device. A strip is thus obtained which is composed of a carrier tape and printed labels adhering to it.

Ein derartiger Streifen mit bedruckten Etiketten kann verschiedenen Zwecken dienen. Es ist beispielsweise möglich, zur Auszeichnung von Waren, an die man mit dem Preisauszeichnungsgerät nur schwer herankommt, zum Beispiel Textilien in einem Regal oder Schrank, gestapelte Wäsche, Handtücher, Betttücher oder bei denen ein am Preisauszeichnungsgerät in Spendstellung gebrachtes Etikett sich nur schwer mit der Andrückrolle des Gerätes andrücken läßt, beispielsweise bei extrem kleinen Gegenständen, wie Schmuck, kleine Spielwaren, Glas- und Porzellantieren oder zum Überkleben des Preises auf Anhängeetiketten, mehrere Leute einzusetzen, denen jeweils ein Streifen bedruckter Etiketten zur Verfügung gestellt wird und die von diesem Streifen die Selbstklebeetiketten von Hand abnehmen und an den zu etikettierenden Gegenstand drücken.Such a strip with printed labels can serve various purposes. For example, it is possible to mark goods that are difficult to access with the price marking device, e.g. textiles on a shelf or cupboard, stacked laundry, towels, bed sheets or for which a label that has been placed on the price marking device is difficult to label Pressure roller of the device can be pressed, for example with extremely small objects, such as jewelry, small toys, glass and porcelain animals or to stick the price on hang-up labels, to use several people, each of whom is provided with a strip of printed labels and the strip of which is used Remove the self-adhesive labels by hand and press them onto the object to be labeled.

Eine andere Verwendungsmöglichkeit derartiger Etikettenbänder besteht darin, daß den Verkäufern Streifen von Selbstklebeetiketten zur Verfügung gestellt werden, auf die ein den Verkäufer kennzeichnendes Symbol gedruckt ist. Beim Verkauf eines Gegenstandes kann der Verkäufer das ihn kennzeichnende Selbstklebeetikett neben dem Preisetikett anbringen, so daß beispielsweise an der Kasse nicht nur der Verkauf des Gegenstandes registriert wird, sondern auch der Verkäufer, um so den Verkaufserfolg der einzelnen Verkäufer zu erfassen.Another possible use of such label tapes is that the seller strips of self-adhesive labels are available on which a symbol identifying the seller is printed. When selling an item, the seller can affix the self-adhesive label identifying him next to the price label so that, for example, not only the sale of the item is registered at the checkout but also the seller, in order to record the sales success of the individual seller.

Wird das erfindungsgemäße Etikettenband so in ein Preisauszeichnungsgerät eingelegt, daß die Abzugsvorrichtung sowohl das Unterlageband als auch das Trägerband abzieht, dann können mit Hilfe des Etikettiergerätes die Etiketten bedruckt und das jeweils in Spendstellung gelangte bedruckte Etikett mit Hilfe des Andrückgliedes gegen einen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand gedrückt werden. Um das Preisauszeichnungsgerät umzurüsten, braucht lediglich das Trägerband um die Umlenkkante herumgeführt und zusammen mit dem Unterlageband in die Abzugsvorrichtung, beispielsweise ein Walzenpaar, eingelegt zu werden.If the label tape according to the invention is inserted into a price labeling device in such a way that the take-off device pulls off both the backing tape and the carrier tape, then the labels can be printed with the aid of the labeling device and the printed label that has reached the dispensing position can be pressed against an object to be labeled using the pressure member . In order to convert the price marking device, only the carrier tape needs to be guided around the deflecting edge and, together with the backing tape, inserted into the take-off device, for example a pair of rollers.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist zwischen dem Trägerband und dem Unterlageband ein Klebemittel angeordnet, um auf diese Weise eine gewisse Haftung des Trägerbandes auf dem Unterlageband zu erreichen. Es kann vorteilhaft sein, ein wachsartiges Klebemittel zu verwenden beziehungsweise ein Klebemittel, das nicht oder nur sehr schwach selbstklebend ist.An adhesive is expediently arranged between the backing tape and the backing tape in order in this way to achieve a certain degree of adhesion of the backing tape to the backing tape. It can be advantageous to use a wax-like adhesive or an adhesive that is not or only very weakly self-adhesive.

Das Trägerband kann aber auch über eine Prägeverformung mit dem Unterlageband verbunden sein.The carrier tape can also be connected to the backing tape via an embossing deformation.

Unfeine Verbindung des Unterlagebandes mit dem übrigen Etikettenband zu erreichen, kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, das Trägerband etwas schmaler auszubilden als das Unterlageband und die Selbstklebeetiketten. Bei einem derartigen Etikettenband haften die Ränder der Selbstklebeetiketten auf dem Unterlageband. Ein derartiges Etikettenband hat den Vorteil, daß sich bei einem Streifen bedruckter Etiketten die Etiketten sehr leicht vom Trägerband ablösen lassen.To achieve a poor connection of the backing tape with the rest of the label tape, it can also be advantageous to make the carrier tape a little narrower than the backing tape and the self-adhesive labels. Adhere to such a label tape the edges of the self-adhesive labels on the backing tape. Such a label tape has the advantage that, in the case of a strip of printed labels, the labels can be easily removed from the carrier tape.

Je nach Art und Ausbildung der Abzugsvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes ist darauf zu achten, daß das Unterlageband klebstofffrei die Transportvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes passiert. Es muß verhindert werden, daß sich Klebstoffpartikel an der Transportvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes festsetzen und Störungen hervorrufen. Bei den bekannten Etikettiergeräten bestehen die Vorrichtungen zum Abzug des Trägerbandes oder eines Unterlagebandes aus einem Rollenpaar oder einem vor- und zurückschwingenden Greifer, oder aus einer Förderwalze, die mit Vorsprüngen versehen ist, welche in Ausnehmungen des Trägerbandes oder eines Unterlagebandes eingreifen.Depending on the type and design of the pull-off device of the labeling device, care must be taken that the backing tape passes the transport device of the labeling device free of adhesive. It must be prevented that adhesive particles stick to the transport device of the labeling device and cause malfunctions. In the known labeling devices, the devices for pulling off the carrier tape or a backing tape consist of a pair of rollers or a back and forth swinging gripper, or of a conveyor roller which is provided with projections which engage in recesses in the carrier tape or a backing tape.

Es gibt Abzugsvorrichtungen für Etikettiergeräte, welche das abzuziehende Trägerband oder Unterlageband nur in einem bestimmten Bereich der Breite des Bandes berühren. Für diese Geräte ist ein Etikettenband besonders vorteilhaft, bei dem das Trägerband beidseitig eine klebstoffabweisende, insbesondere silikonisierte Schicht aufweist und das Unterlageband an der am Trägerband anliegenden Seite stellenweise mit einer Selbstklebemittelschicht versehen ist. Bei diesem Etikettenband haftet zwar Selbstklebemittel am Unterlageband, jedoch gelingt es, das Selbstklebemittel derart auf dem Unterlageband anzuordnen, daß es nicht in Berührung kommt mit den Elementen der Transportvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes. Die Selbstklebemittelschicht kann als sehr schmaler Streifen im mittleren Bereich des Unterlagebandes angeordnet sein, oder als zwei schmale Streifen in Nähe der Ränder des Unterlagebandes, je nachdem, wie die Transportvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes ausgebildet ist. Da das Unterlageband nur mit geringer Haftkraft am Trägerband haften soll, kann die Selbstklebemittelschicht sehr sparsam aufgetragen werden, das heißt sehr dünn und auf relativ kleine Flächenbereiche des Unterlagebandes. Dieses Etikettenband hat den Vorteil, daß das Trägerband an seiner Unterseite völlig klebstofffrei ist, wenn es zusammen mit den vorgedruckten Etiketten das Etikettenbedruck-und Ausgabegerät verläßt.There are take-off devices for labeling devices which only touch the carrier tape or backing tape to be removed in a certain area of the width of the tape. A label tape is particularly advantageous for these devices, in which the carrier tape has an adhesive-repellent, in particular siliconized, layer on both sides and the backing tape is partially provided with a self-adhesive layer on the side adjacent to the carrier tape. With this label tape, self-adhesive adheres to the backing tape, but it is possible to arrange the self-adhesive on the backing tape in such a way that it does not come into contact with the elements of the transport device of the labeling device. The self-adhesive layer can be arranged as a very narrow strip in the central region of the backing tape, or as two narrow strips near the edges of the backing tape, depending on how the transport device of the labeling device is designed. Since the backing tape should only adhere to the carrier tape with a low adhesive force, the self-adhesive layer can be applied very sparingly, that is to say very thinly and on relatively small areas of the backing tape. The advantage of this label tape is that the underside of the carrier tape is completely adhesive-free when it leaves the label printing and dispensing device together with the pre-printed labels.

Es ist aber auch möglich, zwischen dem Unterlageband und dem Trägerband eine zusammenhängende, streifenartige Selbstklebemittelschicht anzuordnen und das Trägerband beidseitig und das Unterlageband zumindest an der am Trägerband anliegenden Seite mit einer klebstoffabweisenden, insbesondere silikonisierten Schicht zu versehen. Bei diesem Etikettenband mußte die Selbstklebemittelschicht ein in sich zusammenhängendes Band bilden, um an der Umlenkvorrichtung aus dem Preisauszeichnungsgerät zusammen mit dem Trägerband herausgeführt und vom Trägerband abgezogen werden zu können.However, it is also possible to arrange a coherent, strip-like self-adhesive layer between the backing tape and the backing tape and to provide the backing tape on both sides and the backing tape with an adhesive-repellent, in particular siliconized, layer, at least on the side adjacent to the backing tape. In the case of this label tape, the self-adhesive layer had to form a coherent tape in order to be able to be led out of the price marking device together with the carrier tape on the deflection device and removed from the carrier tape.

Es werden nun vier Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.Four exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Die Figuren 1,3,5 und 7 zeigen Draufsichten auf vier Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Etikettenbandes, die Figuren 2,4, 6 und 8 zeigen Schnittansichten der in den Figuren 1,3,5 und 7 dargestellten Etikettenbänder, bei denen die Dicke der Bänder stark vergrößert ist.Figures 1,3,5 and 7 show top views of four embodiments of the label tape according to the invention, Figures 2,4, 6 and 8 show sectional views of the label tapes shown in Figures 1,3,5 and 7, in which the thickness of the tapes is strong is enlarged.

Die Etikettenbänder setzen sich zusammen aus einem Trägerband 1, auf dem Trägerband haftenden Selbstklebeetiketten 2 und einem unter dem Trägerband 1 angeordneten Unterlageband 3.The label tapes are composed of a carrier tape 1, self-adhesive labels 2 adhering to the carrier tape and one under the carrier band 1 arranged backing tape 3.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Etikettenband mit glatten Seitenrändern dargestellt, bei denen die Breite der rechteckigen Selbstklebeetiketten 2 der Breite des Unterlagebandes 3 entspricht, und bei denen die Etiketten 2 unmittelbar aneinanderliegend durch glatte Trennschnitte voneinander getrennt sind.In Fig. 1 a label tape is shown with smooth side edges, in which the width of the rectangular self-adhesive labels 2 corresponds to the width of the backing tape 3, and in which the labels 2 are separated from each other by smooth separating cuts.

Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt, haften die Selbstklebeetiketten 2 mit ihrer Selbstklebemittelschicht 4 sowohl auf dem Trägerband 1 als auch an den Rändern auf dem Unterlageband 3. Werden mit einem Preisauszeichnungsgerät die Selbstklebeetiketten 2 nur bedruckt, dann löst sich an der Umlenkvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes das Trägerband 1 mit den darauf haftenden Etiketten 2 vom Unterlageband 3 ab. Die mit ihren Rändern über das Trägerband seitlich vorragenden Selbstklebeetiketten können nun sehr leicht vom Trägerband 1 abgenommen werden. Dennoch schützt das Trägerband 1 den größeren Teil der Selbstklebemittelschicht 4 der Etiketten 2.As FIG. 2 shows, the self-adhesive labels 2 with their self-adhesive layer 4 adhere both to the carrier tape 1 and to the edges on the backing tape 3. If the self-adhesive labels 2 are only printed with a price labeling device, the carrier tape detaches from the deflection device of the labeling device 1 with the labels 2 adhering to it from the backing tape 3. The self-adhesive labels projecting laterally with their edges over the carrier tape can now be removed very easily from the carrier tape 1. Nevertheless, the carrier tape 1 protects the larger part of the self-adhesive layer 4 of the labels 2.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein Etikettenband mit wellenförmig verlaufenden Seitenrändern, bei dem das Trägerband 1 das Unterlageband 3 und der Streifen von Selbstklebeetiketten 2 deckungsgleich sind. Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, ist zwischen dem Trägerband 1 und dem Unterlageband 3 ein Klebemittel 5 angeordnet, das eine leichte Haftverbindung zwischen dem Trägerband1 und dem Unterlageband 3 herstellt. Als Klebemittel kann Wachs oder Stearin verwendet werden. Das Klebemittel kann als dünne Schicht oder auch in einem Punktraster aufgetragen sein.Fig. 3 shows a label tape with wavy side edges, in which the carrier tape 1, the backing tape 3 and the strips of self-adhesive labels 2 are congruent. As shown in FIG. 4, an adhesive 5 is arranged between the carrier tape 1 and the backing tape 3, which creates a light adhesive connection between the carrier tape 1 and the backing tape 3. Wax or stearin can be used as an adhesive. The adhesive can be applied as a thin layer or in a dot pattern.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 5 haften auf dem Trägerband 1 kreisrunde Etiketten 2. Das Trägerband 1 ist mit dem gleichgroßen Unterlageband 3 über eine Prägeverformung 6 verbunden, die in der Längsmitte des Etikettenbandes angeordnet ist. In der Längsmitte des Trägerbandes 1 und des Unterlägebandes 3 sind in gleichen Abständen zwischen den Etiketten 2 runde Ausstanzungen angeordnet. In diese Ausstanzungen können Elemente der Abzugsvorrichtung eines Preisauszeichnungsgerätes eingreifen, wodurch ein registergenauer Transport der Etiketten bewirkt wird.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5, circular labels 2 adhere to the carrier tape 1. The carrier tape 1 is connected to the same-size backing tape 3 via an embossing deformation 6 which is arranged in the longitudinal center of the label tape. In the longitudinal center of the carrier tape 1 and the backing tape 3, round die-cuts are arranged at equal intervals between the labels. Elements of the pull-off device of a price marking device can intervene in these punched-out areas, thereby causing the labels to be transported in register.

Bei dem Etikettenband nach Fig. 7 und 8 ist das Klebemittel 5 streifenförmig auf das Unterlageband 3 aufgetragen, und zwar derart, daß es nicht in Berührung kommt mit den am Unterlageband 3 angreifenden Elementen der Abzugsvorrichtung des Etikettiergerätes. Bei diesem Etikettenband ist das Trägerband 1 beidseitig mit einer klebstoffabweisenden Schicht versehen.7 and 8, the adhesive 5 is applied in strips to the backing tape 3, in such a way that it does not come into contact with the elements of the pull-off device of the labeling device which engage on the backing tape 3. In this label tape, the carrier tape 1 is provided on both sides with an adhesive-repellent layer.
