Definitions
- This invention concerns improvements in and relates to recyclable plastics materials, in particular to recyclable hangers made from plastics materials.
- hanger shapes and sizes are currently available, the hangers being made from a variety of materials, with however the majority of hangers being formed from polystyrene (PS).
- PS polystyrene
- Garment hangers are used in the clothing trade as a method of transporting garments from a factory to a retail outlet and as a method of displaying the garments within the retail outlets. Very often hangers are also used to display various features of the garment, such as size and/or cost to the prospective consumer.
- hangers can also be used to display the numeric code or bar code of the garment. This enables a retailer to quickly access the numeric code or bar code rather than spending time locating the garment label attached to the inside of the garment when dealing with queries in respect of said garment. Generally this information is displayed on a label which is then attached to the hanger, by adhesive means.
- EP-A-0 910 976 (WILLPUETZ KUNSTSTOFFVERARBEITU) 28 April 1999 discloses a polystyrene hanger.
- EP-A-0 563 510 (ZWECKFORM ETIKETTIERTECHNIK) discloses a polystyrene label for adhering to a polystyrene object.
- EP-A-1 191 076 describes a fluorescent varnish for applying to different materials and PATENT ABSTRACTS OF JAPAN vol. 1997, no. 02, 28 February 1997 (1997-02-28) & JP 08 269407 A (SATO YOSHIHIRO), discloses a recyclable plastics material including a polystyrene compatible label, which is attachable to an object using a pressure sensitive adhesive.
- the present invention provides an object made from recyclable polystyrene or polystyrene compatible material including a polystyrene compatible label, characterised in that the polystyrene compatible label is attachable to the object using a polystyrene compatible adhesive such as a high tack hot melt rubber adhesive or a high tack modified acrylic adhesive.
- a polystyrene compatible adhesive such as a high tack hot melt rubber adhesive or a high tack modified acrylic adhesive.
- the object is in the form of a hanger, where the hanger can be formed in the various shapes and sizes required for display and transportation of different sized and/or types of garments.
- the hook of the hanger prefferably be formed from polystyrene or a polystyrene compatible material.
- the hook will be either a fixed attachment or a pivoting attachment.
- the hook may be made from polystyrene or metal. However, if the hook used is a metal hook, the hanger will only need to undergo a hook removal process prior to recycling.
- the label is formed from polystyrene.
- Advantageously print can be applied to the label by letterpress, flexographic or screen processes. Any other suitable method of applying print to the label known to a person skilled in the art may also be used.
- a fluorescent varnish can be applied, enabling a specific radiant colour luminance when the printed matter is exposed to Ultra Violet (UV) light.
- the label can also be attached to polystyrene products.
- the object is a polystyrene film for use as packaging in the food industry with the label being supplied either blank or pre-printed for thermal transfer or direct thermal print applications.
- This allows variable information to be applied at the point of manufacture or sale.
- An example of information applied is barcode information, best before data and so forth.
- the primary advantage of the invention is that the label does not have to be removed from the object formed from polystyrene or a polystyrene compatible material, for example the hanger or the polystyrene product prior to the object or film being recycled.
- FIG. 1 there is shown a first embodiment of a hanger 1, with component parts comprising a main rail hook 20, arms 30 and minor garment hooks 40.
- the hanger 1 and the component parts of hanger 1 are formed from either general purpose PS, high impact PS or a blend of general purpose PS and high impact PS.
- the PS compatible label is positioned at area 50.
- the label is formed from a 66 micron satin white non-topcoated (or pretreated topcoated) PS with either a high tack hot melt rubber adhesive or a high tack modified acrylic adhesive being used to attach the label to the hanger.
- the non-topcoated polystyrene product provides a printable surface, which has prior corona treatment. Print is then applied to this surface using either letterpress, flexographic or screen processes. Either a water based flexo ink or a UV curing flexo ink are suitable for printing onto synthetic materials. Any other suitable ink type or method of applying print to the label known to a person skilled in the art may also be used.
- a UV invisible fluorescent varnish can be applied, enabling a specific radiant colour luminesce when the printed matter is exposed to UV light but will remain invisible in conventional indoor light or day light.
- the inks and varnishes used in printing and protecting the label are also polystyrene compatible and contain carefully selected raw materials which will cause as little skin irritation and odour as possible.
- hangers 2 to 16 respectively are shown in Figures 2 to 16. Each of the further embodiments are variations of the basic design of the hanger 1 shown in figure 1.
