The container is hung upside down on the hanging strap. The bow-shaped suspension tab is then exposed depending on the size and filling of the container not insignificant tensile loads.
- Such ironing labels are for example from the publications DE 39 07 862 A1 . DE 91 01 464 U1 . EP 0 356 574 A2 and EP 0 632 422 A1 known.
- microcracks occur, in particular starting from small material defects. At the cracking end, locally elevated stresses act to propagate the crack and ultimately to failure of the material, i. lead to tearing of the film.
- film-loaded film members are made by using thicker or more tear-resistant, i. usually much more expensive material designed with certain safety reserves.
- various olefin films are used, which although have a higher tear propagation resistance and thus are less prone to injury, but have a higher elongation and lower tensile strength, which is why very thick films (film thickness about 150-250 ⁇ m) are used.
- multilayer film composites are also used.
- a combination of two 75 and 50 ⁇ m thick layers of PET has a higher security against injuries than single-layered PET with a thickness of 125 ⁇ m.
- minor injuries in critical areas of a hanger label for example at the suspension point or at curved punches at the transition of a hanger tab into the affixed area of the label, lead to significantly reduced tensile strengths.
- Table 1 shows by way of example the weakening of the strap of a two-ply strap label made of PET by edge injuries.

- the weakening zones i. locally weakened by longitudinal slots or the like. Act as force distribution elements, which derive forces along the weakening in uninjured material regions, or can distribute to a larger force-absorbing surface area.
- the locally occurring maximum load is reduced. If cracking occurs, the crack propagates only to the weakening zone, where stress spikes are broken down, as the applied forces split to some extent, thereby reducing the stress on individual material segments. As a result, increases the force required for the crack propagation and the tensile strength of the film element increases.

- the invention also includes films which may tear only up to a certain point.
- defined tear-film-shaped airbag covers are possible.

- a slot 6a weakening zone is on both sides of the length, ie limited transversely to the direction indicated by the arrows F loading direction in each case by film material 7. Cracking progressing from the edge due to a micro-injury 8 comes to a halt at the latest at slot 6a, since stress peaks are reduced here, and the locally increased stresses are dissipated into less stressed elements of the foil material 7.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Folienelement zur Aufnahme von Zugkräften.The present invention relates to a film element for absorbing tensile forces.
Folienförmige Elemente werden häufig eingesetzt, um Zugkräfte in Richtung einer Längsausdehnung zu übertragen, beispielsweise als (insbesondere selbstklebende) Funktionsteile zum Tragen, Verbinden, Verschließen und/oder Abdecken von Gegenständen. Beispiele aus dem Alltag sind Klebebänder bzw. Klebstreifen. Ferner gehören hierzu unterschiedlichste Schlaufen, Bänder und Anhänger, Tragetaschen bzw. Tragetaschengriffe, Ladungssicherungsfolien (beispielsweise über beladenen Paletten), Verschlußetiketten, Siegeletiketten und Verpackungsfolien.Sheet-like elements are often used to transmit tensile forces in the direction of a longitudinal extent, for example as (in particular self-adhesive) functional parts for carrying, connecting, closing and / or covering objects. Examples from everyday life are adhesive tapes or adhesive tapes. Furthermore, this includes a wide variety of loops, straps and tags, carrier bags or carry handles, load securing films (for example, on loaded pallets), closure labels, seal labels and packaging films.
Insbesondere im Bereich der Medizin, aber auch für Drogeriewaren, werden sogenannte Bügeletiketten verwendet. Diese weisen eine bügelförmige Aufhängelasche auf, welche sich aus der Folienebene des restlichen, auf ein Behältnis, beispielsweise eine Infusionsflasche, aufgeklebten Etiketts herausziehen läßt. An der Aufhängelasche wird das Behältnis über kopf aufgehängt. Die bügelförmige Aufhängelasche ist dann je nach Größe und Füllung des Behältnisses nicht unerheblichen Zugbelastungen ausgesetzt.Especially in the field of medicine, but also for drugstore, so-called ironing labels are used. These have a bow-shaped suspension tab, which can be pulled out of the film plane of the remaining, on a container, such as an infusion bottle, glued label. The container is hung upside down on the hanging strap. The bow-shaped suspension tab is then exposed depending on the size and filling of the container not insignificant tensile loads.
Derartige Bügeletiketten sind beispielsweise aus den Druckschriften
Bei Zugbeanspruchung von Folien treten insbesondere ausgehend von kleinen Materialdefekten Mikrorisse auf. Am Rißende wirken lokal erhöhte Spannungen, welche zu einer Fortpflanzung des Risses und schließlich zum Versagen des Materials, d.h. zum Durchreißen der Folie führen.In the case of tensile stress on films, microcracks occur, in particular starting from small material defects. At the cracking end, locally elevated stresses act to propagate the crack and ultimately to failure of the material, i. lead to tearing of the film.
Da die Konturen von Bügeletiketten üblicherweise durch Stanzen hergestellt werden, ist hier das Auftreten von Mikrorissen ausgehend von Randdefekten, welche aus schlechten Stanzungen, etwa aufgrund einer abgenutzten Stanze resultieren können, möglich. Bei der im Vergleich zu Rollen-Flachstanzung wesentlich produktiveren Rotativ-Stanzung verschärft sich diese Problematik.Since the contours of iron-on labels are usually produced by punching, the occurrence of microcracks from edge defects, which can result from poor die-cuts, for example due to a worn punch, is possible here. This problem is exacerbated by the considerably more productive rotary punching compared to roller flat punching.
Abreißen der Aufhängelasche eines Bügeletiketts führt zum Herunterfallen des daran aufgehängten Behältnisses. Bei Infusionsflaschen kann dies ernsthafte Konsequenzen für den behandelten Patienten haben.Tearing the hanger tab of a hanger label leads to the falling down of the container suspended therefrom. For infusion bottles, this can have serious consequences for the patient being treated.
Nach dem Stand der Technik werden durch Zug beanspruchte Folienteile durch Verwendung dickeren oder reißfesteren, d.h. in der Regel wesentlich teureren Materials mit gewissen Sicherheitsreserven ausgelegt.In the prior art, film-loaded film members are made by using thicker or more tear-resistant, i. usually much more expensive material designed with certain safety reserves.
So findet beispielsweise diverse Olefinfolien Anwendung, welche zwar eine höhere Weiterreißfestigkeit besitzen und somit weniger anfällig für Verletzungen sind, allerdings eine höhere Dehnung und geringere Zugfestigkeit aufweisen, weswegen sehr dicke Folien (Folienstärke ca. 150-250µm) eingesetzt werden. Ferner werden auch mehrlagige Folienverbünde eingesetzt. So besitzt beispielsweise ein Verbund zweier 75 und 50 µm starken Lagen aus PET eine höhere Sicherheit gegen Verletzungen als einlagiges PET mit einer Stärke von 125 µm. Trotzdem führen geringe Verletzungen in kritischen Bereichen eines Bügeletiketts, etwa am Aufhängepunkt oder an gekrümmten Stanzungen am Übergang einer Aufhängelasche in den aufgeklebten Bereich des Etiketts, zu deutlich verminderten Zugfestigkeiten.Thus, for example, various olefin films are used, which although have a higher tear propagation resistance and thus are less prone to injury, but have a higher elongation and lower tensile strength, which is why very thick films (film thickness about 150-250μm) are used. Furthermore, multilayer film composites are also used. Thus, for example, a combination of two 75 and 50 μm thick layers of PET has a higher security against injuries than single-layered PET with a thickness of 125 μm. Nevertheless, minor injuries in critical areas of a hanger label, for example at the suspension point or at curved punches at the transition of a hanger tab into the affixed area of the label, lead to significantly reduced tensile strengths.
Tabelle 1 zeigt beispielhaft die Schwächung des Bügels eines zweilagigen Bügeletiketts aus PET durch Randverletzungen. Aufgeführt ist die Zugfestigkeit in Newton für das unverletzte Etikett sowie bei leichter Randverletzung einer der Lagen.
Wie sich Tabelle 1 unschwer entnehmen läßt, bewirkt eine leichte Randverletzung einer Lage bereits eine erhebliche Rißanfälligkeit mit einhergehender Minderung der Zugfestigkeit, während eine Randverletzung beider Lagen die Zugfestigkeit um Größenordnungen abnehmen läßt.As can be easily seen from Table 1, a slight edge damage of a layer already causes a considerable susceptibility to cracking with concomitant reduction in the tensile strength, while an edge injury of both layers can reduce the tensile strength by orders of magnitude.
In Tabelle 2 ist für 25 mm breite, ein- bzw. zweilagige Folienstreifen unterschiedlicher Materialien jeweils die Zugfestigkeit in Newton für den verletzten und den unverletzten Zustand angegeben. Bei den Materialien "A" und "B" handelt es sich dabei um zugfestere Kunststoffmaterialien geringerer Dehnbarkeit, bei den Materialien "C" und "D" um weniger zugfeste Kunststoffmaterialien höherer Dehnbarkeit. Die pm-Werte geben die jeweilige Dicke der Folie bzw. der Folienlagen an.
Tabelle 2 läßt sich unschwer entnehmen, daß bei herkömmlichen mit Zugbelastung beaufschlagten Folienstreifen eine starke Abnahme der Zugfestigkeit bei Vorliegen einer Randverletzung offenbar unvermeidbar ist.It can be easily seen from Table 2 that, in the case of conventional film strips subjected to tensile loading, a pronounced decrease in the tensile strength in the presence of edge damage is evidently unavoidable.
Angesichts der geschilderten Problematik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Folienelement zur Aufnahme von Zugkräften zu schaffen, welches eine erhöhte Sicherheit gegen Reißen infolge von Rissbildung aufweist. Insbesondere ist es auch Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein als Behälteraufhängevorrichtung dienendes Bügeletikett mit höheren Sicherheitsreserven insbesondere bei Verletzungen zu schaffen. Andererseits sollen bei gleicher oder höherer Reissicherheit gegenüber herkömmlichen technischen Umsetzungen der Materialaufwand verringert, bzw. kostengünstigere Materialien einsetzbar werden.In view of the described problem, the present invention has the object to provide a film element for receiving tensile forces, which has an increased security against tearing due to cracking. In particular, it is also an object of the present invention to provide a container hanger serving as a hang tag with higher safety reserves, especially for injuries. On the other hand, with the same or higher tear safety compared to conventional technical implementations, the cost of materials should be reduced, or less expensive materials could be used.
Gemäß einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Folienelement nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen umfassen Folienelemente nach den Ansprüchen 2 bis 11.According to one aspect of the present invention, this object is achieved by a film element according to
Erfindungsgemäß wird auf für den Fachmann völlig überraschender Weise die Belastbarkeit bzw. Reißsicherheit Zugkräfte aufnehmender Folienelemente, insbesondere bügelförmiger Aufhängelaschen, durch lokale Schwächungen, wie z.B. Längsschlitze, erhöht. Die Schwächungszonen, d.h. lokal durch Längsschlitze oder dgl. geschwächte Bereiche, wirken als Kraftverteilungselemente, welche Kräfte entlang der Schwächung in unverletzte Materialregionen ableiten, bzw. auf einen größeren kraftaufnehmenden Flächenbereich verteilen können. Somit wird das lokal auftretende Belastungsmaximum reduziert. Bei Rissbildung breitet sich der Riss lediglich bis zu der Schwächungszone aus, wo Spannungsspitzen abgebaut werden, da sich die einwirkenden Kräfte gewissermaßen spalten, wodurch die Belastung einzelner Materialsegmente reduziert wird. Als Folge erhöht sich der zur Rissfortpflanzung erforderliche Kraftaufwand und die Zugfestigkeit des Folienelements steigt.According to the invention, the loadability or tear resistance of tensile-absorbing film elements, in particular bow-shaped suspension straps, by local weakenings, such as e.g. Longitudinal slots, increased. The weakening zones, i. locally weakened by longitudinal slots or the like. Act as force distribution elements, which derive forces along the weakening in uninjured material regions, or can distribute to a larger force-absorbing surface area. Thus, the locally occurring maximum load is reduced. If cracking occurs, the crack propagates only to the weakening zone, where stress spikes are broken down, as the applied forces split to some extent, thereby reducing the stress on individual material segments. As a result, increases the force required for the crack propagation and the tensile strength of the film element increases.
Die vorliegende Erfindung kann insbesondere auch dazu dienen, Folienelemente mit einem klar definierten Reißstopp, d.h. einem vorherbestimmten Rissende bereitzustellen. Mit anderen Worten umfasst die Erfindung auch Folien, welche nur bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt einreißen dürfen. So sind beispielsweise definiert einreißende folienförmige Airbag-Abdeckungen möglich.In particular, the present invention may also serve to provide film elements having a clearly defined tear stop, i. to provide a predetermined crack end. In other words, the invention also includes films which may tear only up to a certain point. Thus, for example, defined tear-film-shaped airbag covers are possible.

Es versteht sich von selbst, daß die anhand der Beispiele dargestellten Ausführungen der Schwächungszonen auch miteinander kombiniert werden können.It goes without saying that the embodiments of the weakened zones illustrated by means of the examples can also be combined with one another.
Die Wirksamkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Reißfestigkeit ist anhand des Balken-Diagramms in
Im dargestellten Experiment wurden die Bügel im schneckenförmigen Bereich durch einen Schnitt verletzt. □Die erfindungsgemäßen Schwächungszonen in Form einer Schlitzung erhöhen hier empirisch nachvollziehbar die Reißfestigkeit und somit die Produktsicherheit des Bügeletiketts bei sonst gleichem Materialaufbau. Bei einer unerwünschten Verletzung in der Praxis, welche z.B. aufgrund abgenutzter Stanzen nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann, zahlt sich die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme des Einbringens einer Schwächungszone besonders aus.In the illustrated experiment, the bracket in the helical area were injured by a cut. □ The weakening zones according to the invention in the form of a slit here empirically verifiable increase the tensile strength and thus the product safety of the ironing label with otherwise the same material structure. In the case of an undesired injury in practice, e.g. can not be excluded due to worn punching, the inventive measure of introducing a weakening zone pays off particularly.
Die Reißeigenschaften können ferner variiert werden durch entsprechende Anpassung der Parameter Materialaufbau, Materialdicken, Materialtypen, Reckgrad, Pigmentierung, Oberflächenbehandlung. So sind insbesondere für zwei- oder mehrlagige Verbunde insbesondere die folgenden Materialien geeignet: Polyethylenterephthalat (für obere und/oder untere Lage), Polyolefine (für obere und/oder untere Lage), Polyamide (für obere und/oder untere Lage), Polypropylen (für obere Lage), orientiertes Polypropylen (für obere und/oder untere Lage), Polybutylenterephthalat (für obere Lage), Vliese (für obere Lage), Gitterstrukturen.The tear properties can also be varied by adjusting the parameters material composition, material thicknesses, material types, degree of stretching, pigmentation, surface treatment. Thus, the following materials are particularly suitable for two- or multi-layer composites: polyethylene terephthalate (for upper and / or lower layer), polyolefins (for upper and / or lower layer), polyamides (for upper and / or lower layer), polypropylene ( for upper layer), oriented polypropylene (for upper and / or lower layer), polybutylene terephthalate (for upper layer), nonwovens (for upper layer), lattice structures.
Claims (11)
- A foil element (1) in the form of a hanger-type label, comprising at least one foil layer (10a, 10b) including a hanger flap (2) which is delimited by a punched pattern (5) and in the bonded state of the hanger-type label (1) can be pivoted and/or pulled out of the remaining face of the hanger-type label, for instance for hanging up an infusion bottle on which the hanger-type label (1) can be applied by gluing, the hanger flap (2) comprising a zone which takes up a major part of tensile forces (F) with intended use, characterized in that the foil element (1) - in at least one zone (A, B, C, D) which is prone to tearing when loaded - comprises at least one weakening zone (6a, 6b, 9a, 9b, 13, 15a, 15b, 16) which extends along the direction of application of the tensile forces (F), reduces stress peaks when loaded and is bordered at both sides by non-weakened material (7, 10a, 10b, 12a, 12b) in at least one direction transverse to the direction of application of the tensile forces (F), the weakening zone comprising at least one longitudinal slot (6a, 6b, 9a, 9b) penetrating only one foil layer (10a, 10b) in each case.
