Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Etikett nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung.The invention relates to a label according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its production.

Ein Etikett mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 ist nach der französischen Patentschrift 1 239 747 bekannt. Dort bildet die Abdeckung eine einseitig offene Tasche, in die die Beilage gesteckt und wieder herausgeholt werden kann. Dementsprechend kann auch die Beilage verlorengehen oder, wenn sie teilweise aus der Tasche herausragt, zerstört werden.A label with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from French patent 1,239,747. There, the cover forms a pocket that is open on one side, into which the insert can be inserted and removed. Accordingly, the insert can be lost or, if it partially protrudes from the pocket, destroyed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Etikett nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 anzugeben, das eine geschützte Aufnahme der Beilage gestattet und keine auch teilweise Zerstörung der Beilage bei normaler Handhabung zuläßt.The object of the invention is to provide a label according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows a protected inclusion of the insert and does not allow even partial destruction of the insert with normal handling.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegeben.The solution to this problem is specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Besonders bevorzugte Materialien enthalten die Ansprüche 2 bis 9.Particularly preferred materials contain claims 2 to 9.

Ein wirtschaftliches Verfahren zur Herstellung von auf einer klebstoffabweisenden Oberfläche einer Unterlagsbahn haftenden Etiketten mit den Merkmalen der vorgenannten Ansprüche ist in Anspruch 10 angegeben, in einer bevorzugten Ausbildung in Anspruch 11.An economical method for producing labels adhering to an adhesive-repellent surface of a underlay web having the features of the aforementioned claims is specified in claim 10, in a preferred embodiment in claim 11.

Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden an einem Ausführungsbeispiel unter Hinweis auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben:

  • Fig. 1 zeigt in Explosionsdarstellung ein auf einer Unterlagsbahn befindliches Etikett.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt ein Schema einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung der Etiketten auf einer Unterlagsbahn.
The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings:
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of a label located on a web.
  • Fig. 2 shows a diagram of an apparatus for producing the labels on a web.

Das Etikett 2 nach Fig. 1 weist einen Träger 4 aus Pergamin auf, der unterseitig mit einer Haftklebstoffschicht 6 versehen ist.The label 2 according to FIG. 1 has a carrier 4 made of glassine, which is provided on the underside with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6.

Diese Haftklebstoffschicht 6 haftet lösbar auf einer silikonisierten Schicht 8 einer Unterlagsbahn 1o aus Pergamin. Auf der oberen Fläche des Trägers 4 befindet sich eine heißsiegelfähige Schicht 12 aus PE. Auf den Mittelbereich dieser Schicht 12 ist ein Prospekt 14 lose aufgelegt. Der Prospekt 14 ist von einer heißsiegelfähigen Abdeckung 16 aus PETP/PE abgedeckt. Diese Abdeckung 16 ist rund um die Beilage 14 in Abstand von der Beilage mit der heißsiegelfähigen Schicht 12 verschweißt, wie durch die Markierungen 18 angedeutet.This pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 releasably adheres to a siliconized layer 8 of an underlay 10 made of glassine. Located on the upper surface of the carrier 4 a heat-sealable layer 12 made of PE. A prospectus 14 is placed loosely on the central region of this layer 12. The prospectus 14 is covered by a heat-sealable cover 16 made of PETP / PE. This cover 16 is welded around the insert 14 at a distance from the insert with the heat-sealable layer 12, as indicated by the markings 18.

Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Vorrichtung weist eine Schweiß-und Stanzstation 4o auf, durch die eine mit einer Reihe von Etikettenunterteilen 4, 6, 12 versehene Unterlagsbahn 8, 1o hindurchgeführt ist. In der Schweißstation 4o befindet sich eine Schweiß- und Stanzwalze 42, die mit einer Widerlagerwalze 44 zusammenarbeitet. Vor der Schweiß- und Stanzwalze 42 wird jeweils eine Beilage 14 auf den Mittelbereich eines Trägers 4, 6, 12 maschinell aufgelegt. Anschließend fährt die Schweiß- und Stanzwalze 42 eine heißsiegelfähige Abdeckbahn 46 auf die mit den Beilagen 14 versehene Unterlagsbahn 8, 1o auf, stanzt aus dieser Abdeckbahn 46 die Abdeckungen 16 aus und schweißt die Abdeckungen 16 rund um die Beilagen 14 in Abstand von den Beilagen 14 rahmenartig an die Träger 4, 6, 12 zur Bildung der Etiketten 2. Hinter der Schweiß- und Stanzwalze 42 sind beidseitig der Etiketten 2 umlaufende Trennmesser 48 angeordnet, die synchron zu der Schweiß- und Stanzwalze 42 angetrieben werden und seitlich über die Etiketten 2 überstehende Randstreifen 5o der Unterlagsbahn 8, 1o abschneiden.The device shown in FIG. 2 has a welding and punching station 4o, through which a base sheet 8, 1o provided with a row of label lower parts 4, 6, 12 is passed. In the welding station 4o there is a welding and punching roller 42 which works together with an abutment roller 44. In front of the welding and punching roller 42, an insert 14 is placed mechanically on the central region of a carrier 4, 6, 12. The welding and punching roller 42 then drives a heat-sealable cover sheet 46 onto the underlay sheet 8, 10 provided with the inserts 14, punched out the covers 16 from this cover sheet 46 and welded the covers 16 around the inserts 14 at a distance from the inserts 14 frame-like to the carrier 4, 6, 12 to form the labels 2. Behind the welding and punching roller 42 are arranged on both sides of the labels 2 revolving cutting blades 48, which are driven synchronously with the welding and punching roller 42 and protrude laterally beyond the labels 2 Cut off edge strips 5o of the underlayment 8, 1o.

In der Abdeckbahn befinden sich im Bereich der zu bildenden Abdeckungen 16 parallel zueinander verlaufende Perforationslinien 52, die gegeneinander versetzt sind. Zwischen den den Abdeckungen 16 zugeordneten Bereichen der Abdeckbahn sind langgestreckte, quer zur Abdeckbahn 46 verlaufende Schlitze 54 vorgesehen, die die Abdeckungen nach Durchlaufen der Schweiß- und Schneidstation 4o voneinander trennen.In the cover sheet there are perforation lines 52 which run parallel to one another in the region of the covers 16 to be formed and are offset from one another. Between the areas of the cover sheet assigned to the covers 16, elongated slots 54 are provided which run transversely to the cover sheet 46 and separate the covers from one another after passing through the welding and cutting station 4o.

Beim Aufbringen der Etiketten auf Rundkörper, etwa runde Dosen, werden die Etiketten so aufgeklebt, daß die Perforationslinien 52 parallel zur Achse der Rundkörper verlaufen, im vorliegenden Beispiel quer zur Laufrichtung der Unterlagsbahn 8, 1o. Hierdurch wird der Abdeckbahn 46 bzw. den Abdeckungen 16 die Möglichkeit gegeben, Spannungen, die durch Aufkleben auf die Rundkörper entstehen, abzubauen.When applying the labels to round bodies, for example Round cans, the labels are glued on so that the perforation lines 52 run parallel to the axis of the round body, in the present example transverse to the running direction of the underlayment 8, 10. As a result, the cover sheet 46 or the covers 16 is given the possibility of relieving tensions which arise by sticking to the round body.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist bei dem Verfahren, daß der Träger bandförmig sein und mit einer Reihe der Etiketten versehen sein kann, so daß er aufgerollt werden kann und das Aufbringen der Etiketten maschinell selbsttätig von der abzuwickelnden Rolle vorgenommen werden kann.It is particularly advantageous in the process that the carrier can be in the form of a tape and can be provided with a number of the labels so that it can be rolled up and the labels can be applied automatically from the roll to be unwound by machine.
