Abstract

The procedure consists of passing a backing strip (5) with self-adhesive labels (6, 7) stuck to both sides from a feed station (1) through a first labelling station (2) where labels on one side of the strip are stuck to bottles (8). The backing strip is then taken through a second labelling station where the labels on the other side are attached to a further supply of bottles.

Description

La présente invention a trait à un procédé d'étiquetage en continu d'objets, notamment de flacons ou autres conditionnements, tels qu'utilisés notamment dans des domaines aussi variés que la cosmétique, la pharmacie, le ménager, ou l'agroalimentaire.The present invention relates to a continuous labeling process for objects, in particular bottles or other packaging, as used in particular in fields as varied as cosmetics, pharmacy, household, or the food industry.

De manière générale, dans le domaine de l'étiquetage, les étiquettes sont collées sur une face d'un support, en plastique ou en papier, enroulé autour d'un noyau, et qui sert à alimenter en continu un poste d'alimentation au niveau duquel les étiquettes sont transférées sur les objets à étiqueter. A la sortie du poste d'étiquetage, le support est enroulé autour d'un axe, et mis au rebut ou recyclé.Generally, in the field of labeling, the labels are glued on one side of a support, made of plastic or paper, wrapped around a core, and which is used to continuously feed a feeding station at which the labels are transferred to the objects to be labeled. At the exit of the post labeling, the support is wound around an axis, and discarded or recycled.

Typiquement, l'une des faces du support est siliconée, de manière à permettre le décollement aisé des étiquettes lors de leur passage dans le poste d'étiquetage. Un tel support a une épaisseur qui, généralement, est de l'ordre de 50 µm à 60 µm. Les étiquettes sont généralement en polyéthyléne, auquel cas, elles peuvent avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 80µm et 100 µm. Elles peuvent également être en polypropylène, auquel cas elles peuvent avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 50 et 60 µm. La fixation temporaire de l'étiquette sur le support est réalisée au moyen d'une couche adhésive dont l'épaisseur peut être de l'ordre de 20 µm. On réalise un "sandwich" dont l'épaisseur totale est de l'ordre de 160 µm.Typically, one of the faces of the support is silicone, so as to allow the easy peeling of the labels when they pass through the labeling station. Such a support has a thickness which, generally, is of the order of 50 μm to 60 µm. The labels are usually made of polyethylene, in which case they can be between 80 µm and 100 µm thick. They can also be made of polypropylene, in which case they may have a thickness included between 50 and 60 µm. Temporary fixing of the label on the support is carried out by means of an adhesive layer, the thickness of which may be of the order of 20 μm. A “sandwich” is produced, the total thickness of which is around 160 μm.

De tels procédés présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients. Un premier inconvénient est lié à l'environnement en raison du caractère difficilement recyclable du support, une fois celui-ci débarrassé des étiquettes qu'il supporte.Such methods have a number of drawbacks. A first disadvantage is related to the environment due to the difficulty recyclable of the support, once it has cleared the labels it supports.

En outre, le relativement faible nombre d'étiquettes pouvant être enroulé sur un support, oblige à des changements de rouleaux fréquents, lesquels sont coûteux en temps machine, en main d'oeuvre, et en déchets résultant des fins de bobines non utilisées, notamment en raison des impératifs liés aux changements automatiques de bobines.In addition, the relatively small number of labels that can be rolled up on one support, requires frequent roller changes, which are expensive in machine time, labor, and waste resulting from the end of coils not used, in particular due to the imperatives linked to the changes automatic reels.

Enfin, des matériaux tels que les Polyéthylènes ou Polypropylènes, pour la réalisation des étiquettes, nécessite à l'impression, un traitement, de type "TOP COATING" ou effet corona, de manière à pouvoir les imprimer de manière optimale et durable.Finally, materials such as Polyethylenes or Polypropylenes, for the production of labels, requires printing, "TOP" type processing COATING "or corona effect, so you can print them optimal and durable.

Le brevet US-A-5 679 199 décrit un procédé d'étiquetage selon lequel deux bandes de matériau d'étiquetage sont superposées et amenées dans un poste d'étiquetage où elles sont séparées. Dans chacune des bandes ainsi séparées, on découpe au moyen d'un faisceau laser, les étiquettes à la forme et aux dimensions requises. Préalablement à la dépose de l'étiquette sur un objet approprié, une couche adhésive de l'étiquette est réactivée par voie UV ou IR. Un tel processus souffre essentiellement des mêmes inconvénients que ceux évoqués en référence aux dispositifs de la technique antérieures. Le laminât formé par les deux bandes superposées est d'épaisseur importante, ce qui limite le nombre d'étiquettes par rouleau. Les étiquettes ne sont pas apposées sur l'une et/ou l'autre des faces du support mais sont formées du support lui même, et donc sont destinées à être découpées directement dans le support. De ce fait, le processus est compliqué, lent, et coûteux à mettre en oeuvre.US-A-5,679,199 describes a labeling process in which two strips of labeling material are superimposed and brought to a station labeling where they are separated. In each of the bands thus separated, the shape and shape labels are cut using a laser beam required dimensions. Before removing the label from an object appropriate, an adhesive layer of the label is reactivated by UV or IR. A such a process suffers essentially from the same disadvantages as those mentioned with reference to the devices of the prior art. The laminate formed by the two superimposed strips is of significant thickness, which limits the number of labels per roll. The labels are not affixed on one and / or the other side of the support but are formed of the support itself, and therefore are intended to be cut directly from the support. Therefore, the process is complicated, slow, and expensive to implement.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de la présente invention que de réaliser un procédé d'alimentation en continu d'un poste d'étiquetage, permettant de résoudre en tout ou partie, les problèmes discutés ci-avant en référence aux procédés conventionnels.It is therefore one of the objects of the present invention to carry out a process continuous feeding of a labeling station, allowing to solve everything or part, the problems discussed above with reference to the processes conventional.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention, que de réaliser un tel procédé qui permette de réduire de manière substantielle la fréquence des changements de rouleaux dans les postes d'alimentation des dispositifs d'étiquetage. It is in particular an object of the invention to carry out such a process which allows a substantial reduction in the frequency of changes in rollers in the feeding stations of the labeling devices.

C'est un autre objet de l'invention que de rendre possible l'utilisation de matériaux offrant une meilleure compatibilité par rapport à l'environnement.It is another object of the invention to make possible the use of materials offering better compatibility with the environment.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un procédé d'alimentation d'un dispositif d'étiquetage dans lequel les étiquettes sont réalisées en un matériau identique au matériau formant le support sur lequel elles sont enroulées.It is yet another object of the invention to carry out a process supplying a labeling device in which the labels are produced in a material identical to the material forming the support on which they are rolled up.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que d'autoriser, pour la réalisation des étiquettes, l'utilisation de matériaux offrant de meilleurs caractéristiques d'imprimabilité.It is yet another object of the invention to authorize, for the realization of labels, the use of materials with better characteristics printability.

D'autres objets encore apparaítront dans la description détaillée qui suit.Still other objects will appear in the detailed description which follows.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, ces objets sont atteints en réalisant un procédé d'alimentation en continu d'une chaíne d'étiquetage d'objets, notamment de flacons, comprenant les étapes suivantes:

  • a) dans un premier poste d'alimentation, disposer un support sous forme d'une bande, et sur les deux faces duquel sont collées des étiquettes auto-adhésives;
  • b) entraíner le support de manière à lui faire traverser un premier poste d'étiquetage alimenté par lesdits objets, l'étiquetage des objets dans le premier poste étant réalisé en utilisant les étiquettes apposées sur la première face du support; et
  • c) entraíner le support de manière à lui faire traverser un second poste d'étiquetage, distinct ou non du premier, l'étiquetage des objets dans le second poste étant réalisé en utilisant les étiquettes apposées sur la seconde face du support.
    • Thus, according to the invention, these objects are achieved by carrying out a process for continuously feeding a labeling chain for objects, in particular for bottles, comprising the following steps:
  • a) in a first feeding station, have a support in the form of a strip, and on both sides of which are affixed self-adhesive labels;
  • b) drive the support so as to make it pass through a first labeling station supplied by said objects, the labeling of the objects in the first station being carried out using the labels affixed to the first face of the support; and
  • c) drive the support so as to make it pass through a second labeling station, separate or not from the first, the labeling of the objects in the second station being carried out using the labels affixed to the second face of the support.

    • Ainsi, on augmente de manière sensible le nombre d'étiquettes enroulées sur le support, limitant ainsi le volume de matériau susceptible de pouvoir nuire à l'environnement. This significantly increases the number of labels wound on the support, thus limiting the volume of material likely to be harmful to the environment.

    Le fait de mettre davantage d'étiquettes sur un même support autorise l'utilisation de matériaux, qui peuvent être plus coûteux, mais qui offrent de bien meilleurs caractéristiques, notamment par rapport à l'environnement.Putting more labels on the same support authorizes the use of materials, which may be more expensive, but which offer much better characteristics, especially in relation to the environment.

    En outre, les épaisseurs du support peuvent être réduites de manière considérable, ce qui, pour un rouleau de diamètre donné, augmente encore, le nombre d'étiquettes pouvant être déposées sur le support. Avec une épaisseur totale du support (y compris les étiquettes) qui peut être ainsi divisée par deux ou par trois, par rapport aux supports conventionnels, on dispose sur le support un nombre d'étiquettes qui peut être jusqu'à cinq fois plus élevé que le nombre d'étiquettes des supports utilisés dans les procédés conventionnels.In addition, the thicknesses of the support can be reduced so considerable, which, for a roll of given diameter, further increases, the number of labels that can be placed on the support. With a thickness total of the support (including the labels) which can be thus divided by two or in threes, compared to conventional supports, there is on the support a number of labels which can be up to five times higher than the number media labels used in conventional processes.

    De préférence, dans le premier poste d'alimentation, le support est enroulé autour d'un axe, de manière à former un rouleau. A la sortie du premier poste d'étiquetage, le support peut être enroulé autour d'un axe de manière à être mis à nouveau sous forme d'un rouleau, qui sera ensuite positionné dans un second poste d'alimentation, destiné à alimenter le second poste d'étiquetage. Alternativement, il est possible de prévoir qu'à la sortie du premier poste d'étiquetage, le support soit entraíné directement vers le second poste d'étiquetage.Preferably, in the first feeding station, the support is wrapped around of an axis, so as to form a roll. At the exit of the first post labeling, the support can be wrapped around an axis so as to be new in the form of a roll, which will then be positioned in a second feeding station, intended to supply the second labeling station. Alternatively, it is possible to provide that at the exit of the first post labeling, the support is driven directly to the second station labeling.

    Lors du deuxième passage, le rouleau portant les étiquettes peut être repositionné sur le même poste d'alimentation du même dispositif d'étiquetage que celui utilisé lors du premier passage. Alternativement, dans une structure industrielle à plusieurs machines d'étiquetage, lors du deuxième passage, le rouleau formé à la sortie du premier poste d'étiquetage peut être positionné sur un autre poste d'alimentation pour alimenter un autre poste d'étiquetage.On the second pass, the label roller can be repositioned on the same feed station of the same labeling device than the one used during the first pass. Alternatively, in a structure industrial with several labeling machines, during the second pass, the roll formed at the exit of the first labeling station can be positioned on a another feeding station to feed another labeling station.

    Les étiquettes disposées sur la première face du support peuvent être identiques aux étiquettes disposées sur la seconde face du support. The labels on the first side of the support can be identical labels placed on the second side of the support.

    Dans ce cas, le second poste d'étiquetage est alimenté de préférence par des objets autres que ceux ayant été étiquetés lors du premier passage, chacun des objets étant alors recouvert alors d'une seule étiquette.In this case, the second labeling station is preferably supplied by objects other than those having been labeled during the first pass, each of the objects then being covered with a single label.

    Alternativement, les étiquettes disposées sur la première face du support sont différentes des étiquettes disposées sur la seconde face du support, le second poste d'étiquetage étant alimenté par les objets ayant été étiquetés lors du premier passage, de sorte que chacun desdits objets soit étiqueté au moyen d'une étiquette de chacune des faces du support. Ainsi, dans le cas d'un flacon à deux faces principales, on dispose une première étiquette sur le "recto" du flacon, et une seconde étiquette sur le "verso" dudit flacon.Alternatively, the labels arranged on the first face of the support are different from the labels placed on the second side of the support, the second labeling station being supplied by the objects having been labeled during the first pass, so that each of said objects is labeled with a label on each side of the support. So, in the case of a vial with two main faces, there is a first label on the "front" of the bottle, and a second label on the "back" of said bottle.

    Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, les étiquettes de la première face du support, sont décalées le long de l'axe de la bande, par rapport aux étiquettes disposées sur la seconde face du support. Un tel positionnement décalé génère, lors de l'impression, un affaiblissement moindre du support par l'outil de découpe. En outre, à la pose, lors de la séparation de l'étiquette de la première face du support, l'étiquette de la seconde face du support se trouve protégée de manière plus importante, puisque aucun pli ou autre marque n'est générée sur l'étiquette de la seconde face.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the labels of the first side of the support, are offset along the axis of the strip, relative labels placed on the second side of the support. Such positioning offset generates less weakening of the media during printing the cutting tool. In addition, during installation, when separating the label from the first side of the support, the label of the second side of the support is more protected, since no folds or other marks are generated on the label of the second side.

    De préférence, le décalage axial est tel que les étiquettes de la première face du support sont sensiblement centrées sur l'espace axial séparant deux étiquettes adjacentes de la seconde face du support.Preferably, the axial offset is such that the labels on the first face of the support are substantially centered on the axial space separating two labels adjacent to the second side of the support.

    Selon une alternative au mode de réalisation qui précède, les étiquettes de la première face sont superposées avec celles de la seconde face. En effet, dans le cas d'étiquettes de format différent, il se produit un affaiblissement moindre du support par l'outil de découpe. En outre, à la pose, le raccord des étiquettes des deux faces de la bande, lors du changement de bobine, est facilité. According to an alternative to the above embodiment, the labels of the first side are superimposed with those of the second side. Indeed, in the case of labels of different format, there is less weakening of the support by the cutting tool. In addition, when fitting, the connection of the labels of the two sides of the strip, when changing the reel, is facilitated.

    Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, les étiquettes de la première face du support sont disposées "tête en haut", les étiquettes de la seconde face du support étant disposées "tête en bas". Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement adapté à la configuration d'un support portant d'un côté, une étiquette destinée au recto de l'objet à étiqueter, et de l'autre côté, une étiquette destinée au verso du même objet à étiqueter. En effet, après retournement de la bande, après étiquetage d'une première face de l'objet dans un premier poste d'étiquetage avec la première étiquette, la seconde étiquette se trouve dans la bonne configuration par rapport à la seconde face de l'objet à étiqueter.According to another advantageous embodiment, the labels of the first face of the support are arranged "head up", the labels on the second side of the support being arranged "upside down". This embodiment is particularly suitable for the configuration of a support carrying on one side a label intended for front of the object to be labeled, and on the other side, a label for the back of the same object to be labeled. In fact, after turning the tape over, after labeling of a first face of the object in a first labeling station with the first label, the second label is in the correct configuration relative to the second side of the object to be labeled.

    Avantageusement, les étiquettes sont réalisées en Polyéthylène Téréphtalate. De telles étiquettes peuvent avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 10 à 40 µm, et de préférence, entre 25 et 36 µm. En réduisant ainsi l'épaisseur de l'étiquette par rapport aux étiquettes conventionnelles, on en augmente de façon substantielle la transparence. En outre, l'utilisation du polyéthylène téréphtalate pour réaliser les étiquettes permet de s'affranchir de traitements à l'impression, de type corona ou de type "top coating" afin d'en améliorer l'imprimabilité et la tenue de l'encre.Advantageously, the labels are made of Polyethylene Terephthalate. Of such labels may have a thickness of between 10 to 40 μm, and of preferably between 25 and 36 µm. By reducing the thickness of the label by compared to conventional labels, we substantially increase the transparency. In addition, the use of polyethylene terephthalate to carry out the labels eliminates the need for printing treatments, such as corona or "top coating" type in order to improve the printability and the ink performance.

    Le support peut être constitué d'un matériau, notamment papier ou thermoplastique, et dont les deux faces sont revêtues d'une couche de silicone.The support may be made of a material, in particular paper or thermoplastic, and both sides of which are coated with a layer of silicone.

    De préférence, les étiquettes sont réalisées en un matériau identique au matériau formant le support.Preferably, the labels are made of a material identical to the material forming the support.

    De préférence encore, le support est réalisé en polyéthylène téréphtalate. Le polyéthylène téréphtalate permet de compenser la perte de rigidité liée à l'épaisseur réduite du support par rapport à l'épaisseur des supports conventionnels.More preferably, the support is made of polyethylene terephthalate. The polyethylene terephthalate compensates for the loss of rigidity linked to the reduced thickness of the support compared to the thickness of the supports conventional.

    Le support peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 10 et 40 µm, et de préférence, comprise entre 23 et 36 µm. Ainsi, avec une épaisseur d'adhésif comprise entre 10 µm et 20 µm, on peut réaliser un support, dont l'épaisseur totale, y compris l'épaisseur des deux "couches" d'étiquettes" peut varier entre 60 µm et 150 µm, et de préférence, entre 95 µm à 140 µm.The support can have a thickness of between 10 and 40 μm, and preferably between 23 and 36 µm. So with an adhesive thickness between 10 µm and 20 µm, a support can be produced, the thickness of which total, including the thickness of the two "layers" of labels "can vary between 60 µm and 150 µm, and preferably between 95 µm to 140 µm.

    Selon un autre aspect, l'invention vise également un support d'étiquettes destiné à l'alimentation en continu d'un poste d'étiquetage, ledit support étant sous forme d'une bande, et comportant une première face et une seconde face, à l'opposé de la première, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des étiquettes auto-adhésives, collées sur chacune desdites première et seconde faces.According to another aspect, the invention also relates to a label support intended for the continuous supply of a labeling station, said support being in the form of a strip, and comprising a first face and a second face, opposite to the first, characterized in that it includes self-adhesive labels, bonded to each of said first and second faces.

    De préférence, le support est réalisé en un matériau identique au matériau formant lesdites étiquettes. Avantageusement, ledit matériau est un polyéthylène téréphtalate.Preferably, the support is made of a material identical to the material forming said labels. Advantageously, said material is a polyethylene terephthalate.

    L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles:

  • La figure 1 représente le premier passage du support d'étiquettes dans le poste d'étiquetage;
  • La figure 2 représente le second passage du support d'étiquettes dans le poste d'étiquetage;
  • La figure 3 représente un second mode de réalisation du procédé décrit en référence aux figures 1 et 2 ; et
  • La figure 4 illustre un mode de réalisation particulier d'un support d'étiquettes selon la présente invention.
    • The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • FIG. 1 represents the first passage of the label support in the labeling station;
  • FIG. 2 represents the second passage of the label support in the labeling station;
  • Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the method described with reference to Figures 1 and 2; and
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a particular embodiment of a label support according to the present invention.

    • Le dispositif d'étiquetage représenté de manière schématique à la figure 1 comporte trois postes principaux : un poste d'alimentation 1 en étiquettes ; un poste d'étiquetage 2, alimenté à la fois en étiquettes et en objets à étiqueter, et ; un poste de récupération 3, ou de ré enroulement, du support sur lequel ont été prélevées les étiquettes. The labeling device shown schematically in Figure 1 has three main stations: a label feeding station 1; a labeling station 2, supplied with both labels and objects to be labeled, and; a recovery station 3, or rewinding, of the support on which have been removed the labels.

    Le poste d'alimentation en étiquettes comprend un arbre 9 sur lequel est monté libre en rotation un rouleau 4 d'un support 5 en PET dont les deux faces sont recouvertes d'étiquettes auto-adhésives 6, 7, espacées de manière régulière le long du support 5. Selon ce mode de réalisation les étiquettes 6 sont identiques aux étiquettes 7.The label supply station comprises a shaft 9 on which is mounted free in rotation a roller 4 of a support 5 in PET whose two faces are covered with self-adhesive labels 6, 7, evenly spaced on along the support 5. According to this embodiment, the labels 6 are identical to labels 7.

    Le support 5 est dirigé sur le poste d'étiquetage 2, en suivant un trajet, imposé par un certain nombre de rouleaux de guidage 10, 16. Le poste d'alimentation est également alimenté en flacons 8, sur lesquels doivent être apposées les étiquettes. Un rouleau de guidage 11 assure le positionnement précis du support 5 d'étiquettes par rapport aux flacons 8, de sorte que l'étiquette soit positionnée sur le flacon 8, exactement à la bonne place. Le support 5 est orienté de sorte que, lors de ce premier passage, les étiquettes 7 soient transférées sur les flacons 8. Le support 5 quitte alors le poste d'alimentation avec une face exempte d'étiquettes et une face portant les étiquettes 6. Après un cheminement via les rouleaux de guidage 12 et 13, le support 5 est ensuite ré enroulé sur un arbre 14, de manière à être mis à nouveau sous forme d'un rouleau 15, les étiquettes 6 du dernier enroulement formé, étant disposées à l'extérieur du rouleau.The support 5 is directed to the labeling station 2, following a path, imposed by a number of guide rollers 10, 16. The feeding station is also supplied with bottles 8, on which the labels. A guide roller 11 ensures precise positioning of the support 5 labels relative to vials 8, so that the label is positioned on bottle 8, in exactly the right place. Support 5 is oriented so that, during this first pass, the labels 7 are transferred to the bottles 8. The support 5 then leaves the feeding station with an free face of labels and one side carrying the labels 6. After a journey via the guide rollers 12 and 13, the support 5 is then rewound on a shaft 14, so as to be put again in the form of a roll 15, the labels 6 of the last winding formed, being arranged outside the roll.

    Un tel ensemble est bien évidemment contrôlé par un certain nombre de moteurs, de mécanismes et automatismes de synchronisation, de guidage et de régulation, qui sont parfaitement connus, et par conséquent, ne nécessitent pas de description détaillée supplémentaire. De tels mécanismes ne font pas l'objet de la présente invention.Such an assembly is obviously controlled by a certain number of motors, synchronization, guidance and regulation mechanisms and automatisms, which are perfectly known, and therefore do not require additional detailed description. Such mechanisms are not the subject of the present invention.

    A la figure 2, le rouleau 15, formé à l'issu du premier passage dans le poste d'étiquetage 2, est positionné sur l'arbre de déroulement 9 du poste d'alimentation 1 de la machine de la figure 1. Le support 5 est entraíné vers le poste d'alimentation 2, lequel est à nouveau alimenté par des flacons 8'. Le support est positionné de sorte que les étiquettes 6 viennent au contact des flacons 8', et soient transférées sur lesdits flacons. Le support 5, débarrassé de toutes ses étiquettes est alors ré enroulé au poste de récupération 3. Le rouleau formé 17 peut alors être mis au rebut ou recyclé.In FIG. 2, the roller 15, formed at the end of the first passage in the station labeling 2, is positioned on the unwinding shaft 9 of the feed station 1 of the machine of Figure 1. The support 5 is driven towards the station supply 2, which is again supplied by 8 'bottles. The support is positioned so that the labels 6 come into contact with the bottles 8 ', and are transferred to said bottles. Support 5, cleared of all its labels are then rewound at the recovery station 3. The roll formed 17 can then be discarded or recycled.

    A titre d'exemple spécifique, le support 5 est formé d'une couche de polyéthylène téréphtalate d'environ 30 µm. Les étiquettes 6, 7 sont réalisées également en polyéthyléne téréphtalate, et ont une épaisseur d'environ 25 µm. Chaque étiquette porte sur sa face en regard du support, une couche adhésive d'une épaisseur d'environ 15 µm. Le support ainsi formé a une épaisseur totale d'environ 110 µm.As a specific example, the support 5 is formed of a layer of polyethylene approximately 30 µm terephthalate. The labels 6, 7 are also produced in polyethylene terephthalate, and have a thickness of approximately 25 μm. Each label has on its face opposite the support, a thick adhesive layer about 15 µm. The support thus formed has a total thickness of approximately 110 μm.

    La figure 3 illustre un procédé d'étiquetage dans lequel les étiquettes de chacune des faces du support 5 sont appliqués sur des objets (identiques ou différents) au cours d'un seul et même passage. Selon ce mode de réalisation, la bande 5, provenant d'un poste de déroulement 1 est acheminée vers un premier poste d'étiquetage 2, alimenté par des objets à étiqueter 8, notamment des flacons. A ce poste d'étiquetage, les étiquettes 7 se trouvant sur la première face du support 5 sont apposées sur une première face (recto) d'un flacon 8. La bande 5 est ensuite acheminée vers un poste de retournement de bande 52, où, par un mécanisme de rouleaux de renvoi, la bande est retournée avant d'alimenter un second poste d'étiquetage 2', au niveau duquel, les flacons 8 provenant du premier poste d'étiquetage 2, sont présentés de manière à avoir une seconde face (verso) disposée de manière à recevoir les étiquettes 6 présentes sur la seconde face du support. La bande 5, débarrassée des étiquettes qu'elle portait sur ses deux faces, est acheminée vers un poste d'enroulement 3. L'acheminement et le guidage du support 5 au travers des différents postes sont réalisés au moyen d'un certain nombre d'unités de poussée de bande 53, 55 et d'unités de traction de bande 54, 56. De même, des détecteurs de présence d'étiquettes 50, 51 sont prévus pour synchroniser les différentes opérations. Le décollement de l'étiquette du support, à l'intérieur des poste d'étiquetage, est obtenu en faisant faire un angle relativement fermé au support 5, et ceci, au moyen d'un organe présentant une arête vive 57, 58, appelé communément "plaque de pose". FIG. 3 illustrates a labeling process in which the labels of each faces of the support 5 are applied to objects (identical or different) at the single pass. According to this embodiment, the strip 5, from an unwinding station 1 is routed to a first station labeling 2, powered by objects to be labeled 8, in particular bottles. At this labeling station, the labels 7 being on the first face of the support 5 are affixed to a first face (recto) of a bottle 8. The strip 5 is then routed to a tape turning station 52, where by a mechanism return rollers, the belt is turned over before feeding a second station labeling 2 ′, at which the bottles 8 coming from the first station labeling 2, are presented so as to have a second side (back) arranged so as to receive the labels 6 present on the second face of the support. Tape 5, stripped of the labels she wore on her two sides, is routed to a winding station 3. The routing and guiding the support 5 through the various stations are carried out by means of a number of belt pushing units 53, 55 and pulling units of strip 54, 56. Likewise, detectors for the presence of labels 50, 51 are designed to synchronize the different operations. The label peeling support, inside the labeling stations, is obtained by making a relatively closed angle to the support 5, and this, by means of a member having a sharp edge 57, 58, commonly known as "laying plate".

    Selon une alternative au mode de réalisation discuté en référence à la figure précédente, le second poste d'étiquetage 2' est alimenté par des objets distincts de ceux alimentant le premier poste 2. Dans cette hypothèse, les étiquettes 7 présentes sur la première face du support, sont de préférence identiques à celles 6 présentes sur la seconde face.According to an alternative to the embodiment discussed with reference to the figure previous, the second labeling station 2 'is powered by separate objects of those supplying the first substation 2. In this case, the labels 7 present on the first face of the support, are preferably identical to those 6 present on the second side.

    A la figure 4, a été représenté le support 5 à l'intérieur d'un poste d'étiquetage, au moment de sa mise en engagement avec la plaque de pose 57. En raison de la disposition décalée axialement des étiquettes 6 et 7, lorsque l'étiquette 7 quitte le support 5 pour être transférée sur un objet (non représenté), l'étiquette 6 se trouve en appui homogène sur une partie plane de la plaque de pose, et, de ce fait, ne risque pas d'être plissée ou endommagée. Selon ce mode de réalisation, les étiquettes 6 sont sensiblement centrées sur l'espace séparant deux étiquettes adjacentes 7.In Figure 4, there is shown the support 5 inside a labeling station, at when it is engaged with the mounting plate 57. Due to the axially offset arrangement of labels 6 and 7, when label 7 leaves the support 5 to be transferred to an object (not shown), the label 6 is in homogeneous support on a flat part of the mounting plate, and, therefore, do not not likely to be wrinkled or damaged. According to this embodiment, the labels 6 are substantially centered on the space separating two labels adjacent 7.

    Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'esprit de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the foregoing detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiments of the invention. Obviously there may be variations made without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed below.
