Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement made to self-adhesive labels or stickers capable of being peeled from one support to be glued to another, in particular to those which are usually used in connection with pharmaceutical products for human or veterinary use. It relates more particularly to the veterinary labels and in particular those relating to vaccines presented in bottles and intended to be affixed on a vaccination record or the like. The invention also relates to packaging and packaging in general, and more particularly to these bottles, provided with labels or stickers in accordance with the invention.
  • the vaccines are presented in small vials which are sold in boxes of several vials and the information concerning these vaccines is written on self-adhesive stickers presented on a common support.
  • self-adhesive stickers presented on a common support.
  • a sticker or label formed by two parts, each relating to one of the valences and which the veterinarian is required to affix to the vaccination record of the animal.
  • the prior art includes embodiments in which a label with a detachable part is affixed to the support.
  • a non-stick sheet such as silicone paper prevents the detachable part from sticking to the support.
  • a self-adhesive label is known, for example, provided with at least one fixed part and one detachable part, the adhesive surface of which is protected by a sheet of silicone paper which extends beyond the edge of the label to form a tear-off tab for detaching the silicone sheet-detachable part assembly.
  • the silicone paper is itself self-adhesive and there is therefore no tongue as in the first mode.
  • a label of this type is also known, in which the detachable part is cut out from the fixed part and is provided on its free side with a tear-off tab. protruding, and in which the non-stick sheet, such as silicone paper, has a surface greater than that of the detachable part, so as to extend a short distance below the region, of the fixed part, which surrounds the part detachable. When this part is peeled off, the non-stick sheet remains on the support.
  • This embodiment requires having the detachable part on one side of the fixed part while being surrounded by the latter on three sides, which limits the surface for presenting information.
  • European patent application EP-A-0 463 193 describes a self-adhesive label whose length is greater than the circumference of the support, in such a way that the detachable part comes to apply on a region, of the label itself, who has been processed surface, so as to play the role of the usual silicone sheet. There may be two detachable parts, each of which has an adhesive-free corner area, this area serving as a grip for detachment.
  • the main objective of the invention is therefore to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a new label or sticker capable of being directly presented on a packaging or packaging even of small dimensions, and more particularly on a packaging or packaging of convex surface, all by being easy and safe to use and having a sufficient surface with regard to the information which it is necessary to affix to it.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a label or sticker which also constitutes an improvement to labels or stickers with a detachable part, generally used in particular in the human and veterinary pharmaceutical field, in particular by avoiding the presence of silicone paper or the like under the detachable part of the label affixed to its support, which also makes it possible to offer more possibilities as regards the shapes, arrangement and surface of the detachable parts.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a self-adhesive label or sticker intended to be placed on a support, in particular a wrapping or packaging of a pharmaceutical product for human or veterinary use and more particularly on a bottle or the like of human or veterinary vaccine, and provided with '' at least one detachable part and a fixed part intended to remain on the support during detachment of the detachable part, as well as a tab protruding from the label and not adhering to the support, characterized in that it comprises a release strip which extends between the fixed part and the detachable part or parts and which is designed to, when actuated, bring with it, at least partially, the part or parts detachable, then optionally to be separated therefrom, and in that the release strip is designed to be maintained on the support when the label is affixed thereon and has the protruding tab.
  • the detachment strip can either entrain the detachable part of the label until it is completely detached, or initiate its detachment so that the user can then easily complete the detachment of the detachable part in question.
  • the release strip is held on the support, in the sense that it has no free edge.
  • a detachable part can be advantageously provided by valence or by association of valences.
  • the fixed part remaining on the support makes it possible to identify the latter permanently.
  • release strip is itself self-adhesive and that the protruding tongue does not adhere to the support.
  • the edge of the detachment strip located in contact with the fixed part extends so as to gradually approach the opposite edge of the detachment strip, which is parallel to the corresponding edge of the detachable part, to end in contact with it.
  • Such a conformation facilitates the detachment and the entrainment of the detachable part or parts by orienting the detachment force.
  • the user is also invited to print to the detachment a movement directed towards the detachable part or parts.
  • the edge of the detachment strip situated in contact with the fixed part advantageously ends in contact with the detachable part furthest from the protruding tongue.
  • the edge of the detachment strip situated in contact with the fixed part progressively approaches the detachable part in a curved shape, which is very advantageous for detachment in particular in the case of containers with a curved surface.
  • said edge of the detachment strip has its radius of curvature greatly decrease at the end of the strip which joins the detachable part.
  • the curved line defining the edge of the separation strip situated in contact with the fixed part very advantageously has a point of inflection, preferably in the vicinity of the zone with a small radius of curvature.
  • the curvature given to this edge of the detachment strip has the advantage, in comparison with a straight line, of dissipating the tendencies to deformation and detachment due to external influences such as heat or occurring after a fairly long storage time.
  • the release strip can be separated from the fixed and detachable parts of the label by a precut and the edge of the release strip located in contact with the detachable part or parts can remain connected to them. by means of connection or not coming in one piece with the detachable parts and the release strip, such as in particular bridges of material, capable of causing the detachment of the detachable parts when the release strip is actuated.
  • the detachment strip preferably ends with a bridge of material connected to the detachable part furthest from the tongue, but in the vicinity of the previous detachable part.
  • a connecting means such as in particular a material bridge between the release strip and the detachable part, very close to the protruding tongue.
  • the release strip or the protruding tongue in particular its free end, can be suitably shaped to extend in front of the neck so to offer an easy grip to the user.
  • a strong adhesive that is to say with strong adhesion power
  • a weaker adhesive power of weaker adhesion
  • Another subject of the invention is packaging or packaging bearing a label according to the invention, in particular packaging or packaging for products.
  • pharmaceuticals for human or veterinary use More preferably, it is a bottle of the type usually used to contain vaccines for human or veterinary use, or similar containers of the ampoule type, syringe body, injectors, blister, etc.
  • FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of the label according to the invention, comprising a fixed part and two detachable parts.
  • FIG. 2 represents another embodiment comprising a single detachable part.
  • FIG. 3 represents an alternative embodiment of a label having two detachable parts.
  • FIG. 4 represents a bottle provided with the label of FIG. 1.
  • Figure 5 shows a release strip and a protruding tab according to a preferred embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 we see a label or sticker comprising two detachable parts 1 and 2, a fixed part 3, a release strip 4, the preferred shape of which will be better understood with regard to FIG. 5, and a tab 5 protruding from the label.
  • Parts 1, 2 and 4 are self-adhesive, which also means within the framework of the invention that they are capable of being peeled off, then glued on another support.
  • the protruding tongue 5 is designed so as not to adhere to the support for which the label is intended, which can be achieved by different ways accessible to those skilled in the art. It can for example be devoid of adhesive.
  • Means are provided between the detachable parts 1 and 2 and the release strip 4 for the actuation of the latter to cause at least partial detachment of said parts 1 and 2, first part 1, then part 2.
  • a material bridge 7 is provided between the detachable part 1 and the release strip 4, very close to the protruding tongue 5.
  • Another material bridge 8 is provided between the detachable part 2 and the release strip 4, very close to the detachable part 1.
  • this strip also ends with this bridge of material, the edge 6 of the strip located in the vicinity of the fixed part s' extending in a curved shape until forming this material bridge 8.
  • FIG. 5 a preferred embodiment of the release strip can be seen, in which the curvature of the edge 6 has an inflection point.
  • the strip 4 can be connected in any manner known per se to the rest of the detachable part 1 and to the fixed part so as to allow both handling in one piece of the label during its installation. on its support, for example a vaccine bottle, and the detachment in accordance with the invention of the detachable parts 1 and 2.
  • a vaccine bottle for example a vaccine bottle
  • One can for example provide a precut having a resistance lower than that of the material bridges 7 and 8. The same provisions are taken between the detachable part 2 and the fixed part 3.
  • the user is invited to print on the release strip 4, via the protruding tab 5, a movement directed towards the detachable parts 1 and 2.
  • the actuation of the strip must at least allow a partial detachment of parts 1 and 2, after which the user can complete a perfect detachment of the detachable parts 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 2 comprises only the detachable part 1 with the material bridge 7.
  • the detachment strip 4 ends on the detachable part 1, the fixed part 9 corresponding to the fixed 3 and detachable 2 parts of the mode of realization of figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents an alternative embodiment combining the detachable parts 1 and 2 of FIG. 1 and the fixed part 9 of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 represents a bottle 10 provided with a label or sticker according to FIG. 1. It can be seen that the protruding tongue 5 which is not self-adhesive, is located with regard to the part 11 of the bottle going to shrink, this to facilitate taking by the user.
