Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haftetikett nach dem Ober­begriff des Anspruchs 1. Bei bekannten Etiketten die­ser Art besteht die Trägerschicht aus gerecktem, schrumpfbarem Kunststoff. Die Schutzschicht des Auf­drucks besteht aus einem glänzenden Lack. Eine solche Schutzschicht aus Lack kann den unter ihr befindlichen Aufdruck nicht stets zureichend schützen, auch nicht eine aufgedampfte Schicht, auf die der Aufdruck unter Regelung einer Primer-Schicht aufgedruckt ist. Insbe­sondere bei starken mechanischen Beanspruchungen, etwa in einem Batterieschacht, ist sogar gelegentlich eine Beschädigung möglich, die zu einer Entladung der Batterie führt.The invention relates to an adhesive label according to the preamble of claim 1. In the case of known labels of this type, the carrier layer consists of stretched, shrinkable plastic. The protective layer of the print consists of a glossy varnish. Such a protective layer made of lacquer cannot always adequately protect the imprint beneath it, not even a vapor-deposited layer on which the imprint is printed while regulating a primer layer. Particularly in the case of strong mechanical loads, for example in a battery well, damage is occasionally possible, which leads to the battery being discharged.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Haftetikett nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 anzugeben, das den Auf­druck und unter ihm befindliche Schichten besser schützt.The object of the invention is to provide an adhesive label according to the preamble of claim 1, which better protects the print and layers located under it.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Kennzeichen des An­spruchs 1 angegeben. Danach übernimmt die Schutzfunk­tion die Folie aus schrumpfbarem Kunststoff. Diese Folie kann zusätzlich zu der bekannten Folie aus schrumpfbarem Kunststoff vorgesehen sein, die sich im Haftetikett befindet. Sie kann aber auch deren Funktion übernehmen. Im letztgenannten Fall kann der Träger, der sonst die Funktion der schrumpfbaren Kunststoff­folie hat, gemäß Anspruch 3 aus Papier bestehen, wo­durch das Etikett wesentlich verbilligt wird.The solution to this problem is specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The protective function is then taken over by the film made of shrinkable plastic. This film can be provided in addition to the known film made of shrinkable plastic, which is located in the adhesive label. But it can also take over their function. In the latter case, the carrier, which otherwise has the function of the shrinkable plastic film, can consist of paper according to claim 3, whereby the label is significantly cheaper.

Eine besonders weite Umfassung des Körpers mit dem Haftetikett erhält man mit einer Ausbildung gemäß Anspruch 2.A particularly wide encirclement of the body with the adhesive label is obtained with an embodiment according to claim 2.

Um den Träger ohne Schwierigkeit von einer Unterlage abnehmen zu können und das Haftetikett ohne Schwie­rigkeit auf einen Körper kleben zu können, ist bevor­ zugt eine Ausbildung gemäß Anspruch 4 vorgesehen.In order to be able to remove the carrier from a base without difficulty and to be able to stick the adhesive label onto a body without difficulty, is before trains an education according to claim 4 provided.

In einer besonders einfachen Ausführungsform, die die Aufgabe der Erfindung löst, ist das Haftetikett gemäß Anspruch 5 ausgebildet. Einen besonders hohen Isola­tionsschutz erhält man bei einer Ausbildung gemäß An­spruch 6.In a particularly simple embodiment that achieves the object of the invention, the adhesive label is designed according to claim 5. A particularly high degree of insulation protection is obtained with an education according to claim 6.

Eine andere, besonders einfache AusfĂĽhrungsform mit hohem Isolationsschutz ist in Anspruch 8 angegeben.Another, particularly simple embodiment with high insulation protection is specified in claim 8.

Materialien, die sich bewährt haben, um die Aufgabe der Erfindung zu lösen, sind in den Ansprüchen 7 und 9 angegeben.Materials which have been proven to achieve the object of the invention are specified in claims 7 and 9.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden an Ausführungsbeispielen unter Hinweis auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen erläutert:

  • Fig. 1 zeigt eine erste AusfĂĽhrungsform eines Hafteti­ketts im Querschnitt,
  • Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch das an sich bekannte Aufbringen eines solchen Haftetiketts auf den Körper einer Trockenbatterie,
  • Fig. 3 zeigt eine zweite AusfĂĽhrungsform eines Hafteti­ketts im Querschnitt,
  • Fig. 4 zeigt eine dritte AusfĂĽhrungsform eines Hafteti­ketts im Querschnitt,
  • Fig. 5 zeigt eine vierte AusfĂĽhrungsform eines Hafteti­ketts im Querschnitt.
The invention is explained below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings:
  • 1 shows a first embodiment of an adhesive label in cross section,
  • 2 schematically shows the known application of such an adhesive label to the body of a dry cell,
  • 3 shows a second embodiment of an adhesive label in cross section,
  • 4 shows a third embodiment of an adhesive label in cross section,
  • Fig. 5 shows a fourth embodiment of an adhesive label in cross section.

Das Haftetikett nach Fig. 1 befindet sich auf einer Unterlage 2, die mit einer klebstoffabweisenden Schicht 4, etwa aus Silicon, versehen ist. Auf der klebstoff­ abweisenden Schicht 4 befindet sich ablösbar ein unterseitig mit einer Haftklebstoffschicht 6 versehener Träger 8 aus Papier. Auf die Außenseite des Trägers 8 ist ein nur schematisch dargestellter Aufdruck 1o auf­gebracht. Die mit dem Aufdruck 1o versehene Oberfläche ist von einer rückseitig mit einer Kaschierkleberschicht 12 versehenen Folie 14 aus gerecktem, schrumpfbarem Kunststoff abgedeckt. Diese Folie 14 steht an beiden Rändern 16, 18 über die unter ihr liegenden Schichten 6, 8, 1o, 12 über. Das Etikett wird durch die Schichten 6, 8, 1o, 12, 14 gebildet und vor dem Aufbringen auf einem Batteriekörper 2o (Fig. 2) auf die Unterlage 2, 4 abgelöst. Die axialen Abmessungen des Batteriekör­pers 2o stimmen mit den Abmessungen der Schichten 6, 8 1o, 12 des Etiketts nach Fig. 1 überein. Das Etikett wird nun so aufgebracht, daß die Folie 14 aus schrumpf­barem Kunststoff außen liegt und die Schicht 6 auf den Trockenbatteriekörper 2o geklebt wird. Ist das Etikett um den Körper 2o der Trockenbatterie rundum aufgeklebt, wird das Etikett und mit ihm der Körper 2o einer Wärmeeinwirkung ausgesetzt, die zur Folge hat, daß die Folie 14 schrumpft und sich dadurch die überstehenden Ränder 16, 18 fest an den Randbereich der Stirnflächen des Körpers 2o anlegen.1 is on a base 2, which is provided with an adhesive-repellent layer 4, for example made of silicone. On the adhesive repellent layer 4 is detachably located on the underside provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer 6 carrier 8 made of paper. On the outside of the carrier 8, an imprint 10 shown only schematically is applied. The surface provided with the imprint 10 is covered by a film 14 made of stretched, shrinkable plastic provided on the back with a laminating adhesive layer 12. This film 14 protrudes on both edges 16, 18 over the layers 6, 8, 10, 12 lying below it. The label is formed by the layers 6, 8, 1o, 12, 14 and detached from the base 2, 4 before being applied to a battery body 2o (FIG. 2). The axial dimensions of the battery body 2o correspond to the dimensions of the layers 6, 8 1o, 12 of the label according to FIG. 1. The label is now applied so that the film 14 made of shrinkable plastic is on the outside and the layer 6 is glued to the dry battery body 2o. If the label is glued all around the body 2o of the dry cell, the label and with it the body 2o is exposed to heat, which has the consequence that the film 14 shrinks and the protruding edges 16, 18 firmly adhere to the edge region of the end faces of the body 2o.

Das Etikett nach Fig. 3 ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie das nach Fig. 1, jedoch mit zusätzlichen Schichten versehen. Diejenigen Schichten, die denen nach Fig. 1 entsprechen, sind mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern versehen wie die entsprechenden Schichten in Fig. 1. Anders als bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 befindet sich der Aufdruck 1o nicht auf dem Träger 8.Vielmehr ist der Träger 8 mit einer Aufdampfschicht 22 versehen, die außen eine Pri­mer-Schicht 24 für den Aufdruck 1o trägt. Die Auf­dampfschicht gibt dem Körper von außen ein metallisches Aussehen und bildet einen guten Kontrast für den Aufdruck 1o.3 is constructed similarly to that of FIG. 1, but with additional layers. Those layers which correspond to those according to FIG. 1 are provided with the same reference numbers as the corresponding layers in FIG. 1. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the imprint 10 is not on the carrier 8. Rather, the carrier is 8 provided with a vapor deposition layer 22, which carries a primer layer 24 for the imprint 10 on the outside. The evaporation layer gives the body a metallic appearance from the outside and forms a good contrast for the imprint 1o.

Für Fig. 4 gilt hinsichtlich der Bezugsziffern das gleiche wie für Fig. 3. In diesem Fall ist jedoch auf die Außenfläche des Trägers 8 eine Folienschicht 26 aufgebracht, die rückseitig mit der Aufdampf­schicht 22 und einer auf deren Rückseite befindlichen Kaschierkleberschicht 28 versehen ist. Dieses Etikett nach Fig. 4 zeichnet sich durch besonders hohe Wider­standsfähigkeit und besonders hohe Isolationseigen­schaften aus.The same applies to FIG. 4 with respect to the reference numerals as for FIG. 3. In this case, however, a film layer 26 is applied to the outer surface of the carrier 8, which is provided on the back with the vapor deposition layer 22 and a laminating adhesive layer 28 on the back. This label according to FIG. 4 is characterized by particularly high resistance and particularly high insulation properties.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 5 befindet sich auf dem Träger 8 aus Kunststoff, durch eine Primer-Schicht 3o vermittelt, eine aufgedampfte Schicht 32 und auf dieser,durch eine Kaschierklebeschicht 36 vermittelt, eine außen mit einem Aufdruck 1o versehene durchsichti­ge Kunststoffolie 34. Auf den Aufdruck 1o ist mittels einer Kaschierkleberschicht 12 eine durchsichtige Folie 14 aufgebracht. Die Folien 8, 34 und 14 können - insbe­sondere gleichsinnig in Umfangsrichtung - gereckt sein. Im Fall der Fig. 5 hat die Folie 14, im Gegensatz zu den Ausführungsbeispielen nach den Fig. 1, 3 und 4, keinen Überstand in Umfangsrichtung.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, there is a vapor-deposited layer 32 on the carrier 8 made of plastic, conveyed by a primer layer 3o, and on this, conveyed by a laminating adhesive layer 36, is a transparent plastic film 34 provided on the outside with an imprint 10 the print 1o is applied by means of a laminating adhesive layer 12, a transparent film 14. The foils 8, 34 and 14 can - especially in the same direction in the circumferential direction - be stretched. In the case of FIG. 5, the film 14, in contrast to the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, has no projection in the circumferential direction.
