Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1 and Bottle label according to claim 8.
  • a thin layer of semi-hard or hard magnetic material is provided.
  • a perforated foil made of nickel is proposed as a suitable deactivation material.
  • Activatable fuse elements made of thin-film material consist of a thin, preferably Layer of soft magnetic, amorphous material in the ⁇ m range.
  • the layer is e.g. B. by means of a physical deposition process under vacuum conditions applied to a carrier substrate (sputtem).
  • they are electrolytic Deposition process suitable for the production of thin-film materials.
  • the thin film starting material which is usually available as a strip material is described in Die-cut label shape and applied as an adhesive label to an article to be secured.
  • several intermediate steps are required until the securing elements made of the thin-film material into the desired label shape brought and connected with the articles to be secured.
  • a securing element with a Carrier layer and a magnetic thin-layer material provided on the carrier layer that in the query field of a surveillance zone of an electronic article surveillance system sends out a characteristic signal.
  • This security element is indeed also made of tape material, but narrow, strip-shaped ones must be used on it Marking elements are applied in a certain symmetrical arrangement before that Tape material can be processed into the securing element.
  • GB-A-2 312 595 describes a securing element with a further carrier element soft magnetic material and with a semi-hard or hard magnetic thin-layer material, that is transferred in individual sections to the further carrier element, that the security element in the query field of a surveillance zone is a coded identification signal sends out, known.
  • the application takes place of the individual sections by printing using a print head. So there are too Several intermediate steps are required before the securing element is in a desired position final form can be brought.
  • a bottle label is also known which means a self-adhesive carrier film is attached to a bottle, with proof of authenticity applied to a securing element with a self-adhesive coating is.
  • the invention is based on the object of a method for applying a securing element that allows thin-film materials to be opened in a simpler way Apply bottle labels.
  • Bottle label to be specified.
  • a major advantage of the invention is that the securing element is completely unproblematic by means of a single process step, namely that of hot stamping Bottle label can be applied at any desired location.
  • the securing element is supposed to be applied to a bottle label become.
  • Such bottle labels are printed as tape material, then in Individual labels divided and stacked
  • the thin-layer security elements can be by means of of a hot stamp in a printing press while printing the front sides be applied to the back of the bottle labels.
  • the thin-film fuse elements can also be on the front of the labels.
  • Bottle labels are stacked before being applied to the corresponding bottles Because the thin-film fuse elements are in contrast to strip-shaped or acustomagnetic Securing elements have only a small thickness is stacking the bottle labels are unproblematic, even if the security elements always be applied to the labels in the same place. For completely uniform stack heights To achieve over the entire surface of the bottle labels, according to the invention Securing elements are of course also arranged in different areas of the labels become - a possibility for the security elements according to the invention and their inventive Application methods are ideally suited.
  • Another advantage of the invention is beyond doubt that the securing elements due to their small thickness under the bottle labels applied to the bottles to the outside do not appear at all or only slightly.
  • a waxy Release layer provided that melts when heated by the hot stamp.
  • the thin-layer material is concerned a soft magnetic thin layer or a semi-hard or hard magnetic Thin film, with a semi-hard or hard magnetic layer for deactivation of the soft magnetic thin-layer material always in combination with the soft magnetic thin-layer material is used.
  • the carrier layer is concerned a polyester film.
  • the transfer layer is an adhesive layer whose Melting temperature is preferably in the range between 60 ° - 150 °. The adhesive layer melts under the influence of temperature of the hot stamp and restores after cooling an intimate connection between the bottle label and the thin-film material forth.
  • the bottle label according to the invention provides that the thin-layer material is structured in itself and has the shape of a hologram. Through the direct connection between the security element and the proof of authenticity becomes a universally applicable and inexpensive label element posed.
  • the inventive Security element provides coded information that allows a certain Detect bottle safely.
  • the soft magnetic thin-film material in individual sections on the bottle label so that the Security element in the query field of a surveillance zone sends out a coded identification signal.
  • the strip material 1 shows a cross section through a strip material 1.
  • the strip material 1 consists of a carrier layer 2, which is preferably made of polyester film, a release layer 5, which is, for example, a wax layer, a soft magnetic one or semi-hard or hard magnetic thin-film material 3 and a pressure or heat sensitive Transfer layer 4.
  • the additional release layer 5 can be dispensed with if the carrier layer 2 itself already has the has required low adhesion with respect to the thin-film material 3.
  • the one provided with the transfer layer 4 can be used Thin film material 3 under the action of a hot stamp 7 on any Transfer bottle label 6.
  • the securing element is z. B. on the back of the bottle label 6 applied; the bottle label 6 is then glued onto a bottle. Due to the thin thickness of the thin film material, it is from the outside for a potential Thief can not tell whether the bottle, by means of an electronic detectable security element is secured against theft or not.
  • the outer shape of the securing element 8 can of course be designed as desired a correspondingly shaped hot stamp 7 for transferring the securing element 8 on the wrong label 6 is used.
  • the hot stamp To the fuse element 8 In addition to stamping the shape of a hologram, the hot stamp must be stamped 7 have a corresponding surface structure.
  • FIG 3 shows a cross section through the strip material 1 and through the securing element 8 after the hot stamping process.
  • FIG 4 is a top view of an advantageous embodiment of an identification element 10, the soft magnetic thin-film material 3 is in individual sections 9 arranged on a bottle label so that it is in the query field of an electronic Article security system sends out a coded identification signal that the corresponding Bottle is clearly assignable.
  • this is also the case equipped element also an identification function.
