Preferred Features: Three spacers are provided and are arranged one behind the other. The spacers are made from a foamed material. The base layer is partially transparent. The spacers are joined to the base layer via the self-adhering coating.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Etikett zum Übersiegeln eines Übergangs zwischen axial verschiedenen Querschnitten, sowie eine koaxiale Anordnung zweier voneinander trennbarer Körper, deren Übergang mit einem derartigen Etikett übersiegelt ist.The present invention relates to a label for Übersiegeln a transition between axially different cross-sections, as well as a coaxial arrangement of two separable body whose transition is sealed with such a label.

Ein Beispiel für die Übersiegelung eines Übergangs zwischen axial verschiedenen Querschnitten ist die Versiegelung eines Behälters mit einer Verschlußkappe mit gegenüber dem restlichen Behälter unterschiedlichem Außendurchmesser. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist die Versiegelung einer Spritzenanordnung mit einem Spritzenkörper und einer auf den Spritzenkörper aufgesteckten Schutzkappe. Letztere weist häufig einen deutlich kleineren Umfang auf als der Spritzenkörper.An example of the Übersiegelung a transition between axially different cross-sections is the sealing of a container with a cap with respect to the rest of the container different outer diameter. Another example is the sealing of a syringe assembly having a syringe body and a protective cap attached to the syringe body. The latter often has a much smaller circumference than the syringe body.

Durch die Versiegelung muß gewährleistet sein, daß die Spritzenanordnung bis zu ihrem Gebrauch mittels der Schutzkappe verschlossen bleibt, bzw. daß anhand einer unversehrten Versiegelung erkennbar ist, daß die Spritzenanordnung bisher verschlossen geblieben ist. Ist die Versiegelung dagegen beschädigt, so ist dies ein Anzeichen dafür, daß die Schutzkappe zwischenzeitig geöffnet gewesen sein könnte. Die Spritzenanordnung darf dann nicht mehr verwendet werden, da die von der Schutzkappe verdeckte Nadel kontaminiert sein könnte oder gar eine Manipulation an der Füllung des Spritzenkörpers stattgefunden haben könnte.By the seal must be ensured that the syringe assembly remains closed until it is used by means of the protective cap, or that it can be seen from an intact seal that the syringe assembly has remained closed so far. If the seal is damaged, however, this is an indication that the cap could have been opened in the meantime. The syringe assembly must then no longer be used because the concealed by the cap needle could be contaminated or even a manipulation of the filling of the syringe body may have occurred.

Mit einfachen, streifenförmigen, selbstklebenden Etiketten ist eine derartige Versiegelung grundsätzlich nicht faltenfrei möglich. Zudem besteht das Problem, daß herkömmliche Etiketten mittels einer üblichen Spendevorrichtung aufgrund des großen Durchmesserunterschieds nicht so aufgespendet werden können, daß sie auf beiden Körpern, d.h. Spritzenkörper und Schutzkappe, aufliegen. Denn Etikettiermaschinen können den Bereich unterhalb des Spritzenkörpers nicht erreichen.With simple, strip-shaped, self-adhesive labels, such a seal is basically not wrinkle-free. In addition, there is the problem that conventional labels by means of a conventional dispensing device due to the large Diameter difference can not be raised so that they rest on both bodies, ie syringe body and protective cap. For labeling machines can not reach the area below the syringe body.

Als Alternative in den genannten Fällen böte sich grundsätzlich die Versiegelung mit einem Schrumpfetikett (Sleeve-Etikett) an, welches schlauchartig über den zu übersiegelnden Übergang gezogen und anschließend unter Hitzeeinwirkung aufgeschrumpft wird. Dabei paßt sich die Geometrie des Etiketts an, indem sich die Schrumpffolie, aus welcher es besteht, soweit zusammenzieht, wie es die vorgegebene Geometrie der zu übersiegelnden Körper gestattet.As an alternative in the cases mentioned, the seal would generally be provided with a shrink label (sleeve label), which is pulled in a tube over the transition to be sealed and then shrunk under the action of heat. In this case, the geometry of the label adjusts itself by the shrink film, of which it consists, contracts as far as it allows the predetermined geometry of the body to be sealed.

Die Versiegelung mittels Schrumpfetikett kann jedoch problematisch sein. Zum einen ist man bei der Materialauswahl stark eingeschränkt, da nur Folien mit entsprechenden Schrumpfeigenschaften in Frage kommen. Zum anderen besteht bei beschrifteten Etiketten das Problem, daß sich die Schrift aufgrund der Schrumpfung unschön verzieht. Bei Behältern mit pharmazeutischem Inhalt, insbesondere bei Spritzenkörpern mit wirkstoffhaltigen Infusionslösungen verbietet sich die Versiegelung mittels Schrumpfetikett bereits oft schon aufgrund der zur Auslösung des Schrumpfvorganges erforderlichen Hitzeinwirkung, da viele pharmazeutische Wirkstoffe äußerst wärmeempfindlich sind.However, sealing by shrink label can be problematic. On the one hand, one is severely restricted in the selection of materials, since only films with corresponding shrinkage properties come into question. On the other hand there is the problem with labeled labels that the font warps ugly due to the shrinkage. In the case of containers with pharmaceutical content, in particular syringe bodies with active ingredient-containing infusion solutions, the seal by means of shrink label often already prohibits due to the heat required to trigger the shrinking process, since many active pharmaceutical ingredients are extremely sensitive to heat.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt angesichts der obengeschilderten Problematik die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etikett zum sicheren Übersiegeln eines Übergangs zwischen axial verschiedenen Querschnitten, insbesondere des Übergangs zwischen einem Spritzenkörper und einer zugehörigen Schutzkappe, zu schaffen, welches ohne Hitzeeinwirkung und dennoch faltenfrei appliziert werden kann. Ferner sollte auch die maschinelle Verspendung möglich sein.The present invention is in view of the above-described problem, the object of providing a label for safely sealing a transition between axially different cross-sections, in particular the transition between a syringe body and an associated cap to create, which can be applied without heat and yet wrinkle-free. Furthermore, the machine dispensing should be possible.

Weiter liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine koaxiale Anordnung zweier voneinander trennbarer Körper mit zylindrischen und/oder prismatischen Bereichen, wobei die Körper im Bereich Ihres Übergangs zueinander verschiedene Querschnitte aufweisen, insbesondere eine Spritzenkörper und Schutzkappe aufweisende Anordnung zu schaffen, welche eine sichere Versiegelung des Übergangs zwischen den Körpern aufweist.Further, the present invention seeks to provide a coaxial arrangement of two separable body with cylindrical and / or prismatic areas, wherein the body in the region of their transition to each other have different cross-sections, in particular a syringe body and protective cap having arrangement to provide which a secure seal having the transition between the bodies.

Der Begriff zylindrisch und/oder prismatisch bezeichnet nachfolgend auch diesen Formen angenäherte Geometrien, d.h. im wesentlichen alle Körper mit zumindest abschnittsweise axial parallelen Mantellinien.The term cylindrical and / or prismatic below also refers to these shapes approximate geometries, i. essentially all bodies with at least partially axially parallel generatrices.

Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe durch ein Etikett gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorzugsweise ist das Etikett dabei für tangentiale Verspendung gestaltet. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können gemäß einem der Ansprüche 2-18 gestaltet sein.According to one aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by a label according to claim 1. Preferably, the label is designed for tangential dispensing. Advantageous embodiments of the invention may be designed according to one of claims 2-18.

Das Distanzstück bzw. die vorzugsweise vorgesehenen mehreren Distanzstücke gleichen den Querschnittsunterschied der Körper vorteilhafterweise zumindest teilweise aus, sind jedoch vorzugsweise so bemessen, daß sie bei bestimmungsgemäßer Anbringung des Etiketts am Körper mit dem kleineren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs anliegen.The spacer or the preferably provided plurality of spacers advantageously at least partially equalize the cross-sectional difference of the bodies, but are preferably dimensioned so that they rest on the body with the smaller cross-section in the region of the transition when the label is attached as intended.

Eine Versiegelungswirkung kann bei bestimmungsgemäßer Anbringung des Etiketts vorteilhafterweise dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Distanzstücke unterseitig selbstklebend und daher mit demjenigen Körper mit dem kleineren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs verklebbar sind. Ferner kann eine Versiegelungswirkung vorteilhafterweise auch dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Distanzstücke bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch mit einem Vorsprung, beispielsweise einem vorstehenden Rand, oder einer Vertiefung am Körper mit dem kleineren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs in Eingriff stehen.A sealing effect can be advantageously achieved by proper attachment of the label, that the spacers are adhesive side underside and therefore with that body with the smaller cross-section in the transition area. Furthermore, a sealing effect can advantageously also be achieved in that the spacers in normal use with a projection, such as a protruding edge, or a depression on the body with the smaller cross-section in the transition area are engaged.

Zur Verbesserung eines definierten Entsiegelungsvorgangs können vorteilhafterweise verschieden angeordnete Perforations- und/oder Stanzlinien, Aufreißfäden und dergleichen mehr vorgesehen sein.To improve a defined unsealing advantageously differently arranged perforation and / or punching lines, tear threads and the like can be provided more.

Eine vorteilhafte Alternative zur Verwendung mehrerer Distanzstücke stellt die Verwendung eines einzelnen breiten Distanzstücks mit großer Breite (in Verspenderichtung) dar, welches vorzugsweise ein oder mehrfach quer zur Verspenderichtung gekerbt ist, um der Biegung der Oberfläche der zu übersiegelnden Körper folgen zu können.An advantageous alternative to the use of multiple spacers is the use of a single wide spacer with a large width (in the dispensing direction), which is preferably notched one or more times transverse to the dispensing direction in order to follow the bending of the surface of the body to be sealed.

Vorteilhafterweise kann ein Teil der vorzugsweise vorgesehenen Anfaßlasche schwachklebend oder nichtklebend ausgeführt sein, so daß sich ein Anfaßbereich zum Entsiegeln ergibt. Dies kann bei selbstüberlappendem Aufkleben auch dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Bereich des Etiketts, auf welchem die Lasche bestimmungsgemäß zu liegen kommt, klebstoffabweisend beschichtet ist.Advantageously, a part of the preferably provided gripping tab can be designed to be slightly adhesive or non-adhesive, so that a gripping area results for unsealing. This can also be achieved in the case of self-overlapping adhesive bonding, in that the region of the label on which the flap comes to rest as intended is coated in adhesive-repellent manner.

Als Materialien für die Grundschicht kommen grundsätzlich die meisten gängigen Folienmaterialien in Frage, insbesondere übliche Kunststoffolien, wobei ein- und mehrlagige Ausführungen denkbar sind. Auch eine Ausführung einer Grundschicht aus Papier ist möglich.As materials for the base layer, in principle, the most common film materials in question, in particular conventional plastic films, with one and multi-layer designs are conceivable. An execution of a base layer of paper is possible.

Bei der Auswahl geeigneter Klebstoffe kann auf die auf dem Gebiet herkömmlicher Etiketten üblichen Klebstoffe, insbesondere Haftklebstoffe, zurückgegriffen werdenWhen selecting suitable adhesives, it is possible to resort to adhesives customary in the field of conventional labels, in particular pressure-sensitive adhesives

Auch für die Distanzstücke sind eine Vielzahl an Materialien vorteilhaft einsetzbar. Die Materialwahl ist dabei in der Regel unter Berücksichtigung des zu überbrückenden Durchmesserunterschieds zu treffen. Insbesondere bei großen Durchmesserunterschieden am Übergang kann die Wahl eines Schaumstoffs vorteilhaft sein. Für viele Materialien ist es günstig, das Distanzstück mittels der auf der Grundschicht befindlichen Haftklebstoffschicht an der Grundschicht zu befestigen.Also for the spacers a variety of materials are advantageously used. The choice of material is usually made taking into account the diameter difference to be bridged. Especially with large diameter differences at the transition, the choice of a foam may be advantageous. For many materials, it is beneficial to attach the spacer to the base layer by means of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the base layer.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, das Distanzstück bzw. die Distanzstücke in Form einer durchgehenden oder unterbrochenen Intumeszenzschicht, d.h. einer Schicht aus aufschäumbarem Material auszuführen. Dieses kann ebenfalls auf die Grundschicht aufgeklebt, oder aber drucktechnisch direkt auf die Grundschicht oder die Haftklebstoffbeschichtung der Grundschicht aufgebracht sein. Für eine Verdruckung als Intumeszenzschicht eignen sich insbesondere sogenannte Intumeszenzfarben. Kommerziell sind Intumeszenzfarben auch unter dem englischsprachigen Begriff "Puff Ink" erhältlich. Ferner werden von verschiedenen Herstellern unter den Begriffen "Puff Additive" bzw. "Puffing Agent" Zusätze angeboten, welchen herkömmlichen (insbesondere Sieb-)Druckfarben zugesetzt werden können, um diese aufschäumbar, d.h. zu Intumeszenzfarben im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung zu machen.It is particularly advantageous to design the spacer or spacers in the form of a continuous or interrupted intumescent layer, ie a layer of foamable material. This can also be glued to the base layer, or applied by printing directly to the base layer or the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating of the base layer. In particular so-called intumescent paints are suitable for printing as an intumescent layer. Intumescent colors are commercially available under the English term "Puff Ink". Furthermore, additives are offered by various manufacturers under the terms "puff additives" or "puffing agent", to which conventional (in particular screen) printing inks can be added in order to make them foamable, ie to intumescent in the sense of the present invention.

Das Aufschäumen kann entweder beim Etikettenhersteller oder aber beim Verspenden, d.h. kurz davor, kurz danach oder während des Verspendens geschehen. Das Aufschäumen beim Verspenden hat den Vorteil, daß Etikettenbahnen, d.h. Bahnen aus Abziehmaterial auf denen Etiketten generell üblicherweise bei Transport und Lagerung angeordnet sind, besser aufrollbar sind, als wenn die Etiketten im Bereich der Distanzstücke bereits stark erhaben sind insbesondere beim Aufschäumen nach dem eigentlichen Verspendevorgang wird letzterer wohl in der Regel deutlich vereinfacht.The foaming can either be done by the label manufacturer or by dispensing, i. shortly before, shortly afterwards or during the dispensing. Foaming during dispensing has the advantage that label webs, i. Webs from Abziehmaterial on which labels are generally arranged usually during transport and storage, are better rolled up, as if the labels in the area of spacers are already greatly raised especially when foaming after the actual dispensing process, the latter is probably greatly simplified in the rule.

Ferner entfällt bei drucktechnischer Aufbringung einer Intumeszenzschicht das mitunter schwierige Unterspenden, so daß sich hierdurch eine Vereinfachung der Herstellung ergibt.Furthermore, the pressurized application of an intumescent layer eliminates the sometimes difficult subdivisions, so that this results in a simplification of the production.

Der Aufschäumvorgang wird üblicherweise durch Wärmeeinwirkung induziert, es sind jedoch grundsätzlich auch anders zum Aufschäumen zu bringende Stoffsysteme denkbar. Je nach Anwendung kann die Wärmeeinwirkung beispielsweise durch Mikrowellen, in der Wärmekammer oder durch Wärmestrahlung erfolgen. Durch laserabsorbierende Bestandteile in der Intumeszenzschicht oder eine unter Umständen zusätzlich vorzusehende, Laserstrahlung absorbierende Schicht kann die zum Aufschäumen benötigte Wärme gezielt mittels Lasers lokal eingebracht werden, ohne eine unerwünschte Erwärmung eines der zu übersiegelnden Körpers bzw. dessen Inhalts zu bewirken.The foaming process is usually induced by the action of heat, but in principle it is also conceivable to use different foaming material systems. Depending on the application, the heat can be effected, for example, by microwaves, in the heat chamber or by heat radiation. By laser-absorbing components in the intumescent or a possibly additionally provided, laser radiation absorbing layer, the heat required for foaming can be specifically introduced locally by means of laser without causing unwanted heating of one of the body to be sealed or its contents.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Anspruch 16 handelt es sich um eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der vorliegenden Erfindung. Der Vorlaufteil des Etiketts ist, beispielsweise mittels einer Spendemaschine, auf denjenigen der zu übersiegelnden Körper mit dem größeren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs, beispielsweise den Spritzenkörper, aufspendbar. Die Abmessungen des Etiketts sind in Hinblick auf die bestimmungsgemäße Anwendung so gewählt, daß beim weiteren Aufspenden der Nachlaufteil den Vorlaufteil nach Art einer sogenannten Überrundum-Etikettierung zumindest teilweise überlappt, jedoch axial in Richtung desjenigen der zu übersiegelnden Körper mit dem kleineren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs übersteht. Im überstehenden (d.h. im quer zur Verspenderichtung gegenüber dem Vorlaufteil versetzten) Bereich des Nachlaufteils sind das Distanzstück oder vorzugsweise mehrere Distanzstücke unterseitig am Etikett angeordnet.In the embodiment according to claim 16 is a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention. The leading part of the label is, for example by means of a dispensing machine, on those of the body to be sealed with the larger cross section in the region of the transition, for example, the syringe body, aufspendbar. With regard to the intended use, the dimensions of the label are chosen such that during further dispensing the follower partially overlaps the leader in the manner of so-called overlapping labeling, but axially in the direction of the body to be oversized with the smaller cross section in the region of the transition survives. In the projecting (ie offset in the transverse direction to the dispensing relative to the lead part) region of the trailing part, the spacer or preferably a plurality of spacers are arranged on the underside of the label.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Etikett über den überwiegenden Teil seiner Ausdehnung in Verspenderichtung ungegabelt, d.h. in der Richtung quer zur Verspenderichtung durchgehend ausgeführtAccording to a further preferred embodiment, the label is not forked over most of its extension in the dispensing direction, i. running continuously in the direction transverse to the dispensing direction

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe durch eine Anordnung gemäß Anspruch 19 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können gemäß einem der Ansprüche 20-26 gestaltet sein.According to a further aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by an arrangement according to claim 19.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Spritzenanordnung weist einen Spritzenkörper 100 mit einer Spritzennadel 101 auf, welche von der mit dem Spritzenkörper 100 koaxial angeordneten Schutzkappe 102 mit einem ringförmigen Vorsprung 103 abgedeckt wird. Nicht dargestellt ist der Spritzenkolben. Verdeckte Linien sind nur zum Teil dargestellt und strichliert angedeutet. Eine derartige Anordnung wird durch Übersiegeln des Übergangs zwischen Spritzenkörper 100 und Schutzkappe 102 mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Etikett zu einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung, wie in Fig. 2a dargestellt.The syringe arrangement shown in FIG. 1 has a syringe body 100 with a syringe needle 101, which is covered by the protective cap 102 arranged coaxially with the syringe body 100 with an annular projection 103. Not shown is the syringe plunger. Hidden lines are only partially shown and indicated by dashed lines. Such an arrangement is illustrated by over-sealing the transition between syringe body 100 and protective cap 102 with a label according to the invention to an inventive arrangement, as shown in Fig. 2a.

In Fig.2a ist die Spritzenanordnung aus Fig.1 der Übersichtlichkeit halber nur strichliert (mit langem Strich) angedeutet. Verdeckte Linien sind strichliert mit kurzem Strich angedeutet.In FIG. 2a, the syringe arrangement from FIG. 1 is indicated by dashed lines (with a long dash) for the sake of clarity. Hidden lines are indicated by dashed lines with a short dash.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Etikett mit einer einen Vorlaufteil 1 und einen Nachlaufteil 2 aufweisenden Grundschicht 3 sowie sechs Distanzstücken 4 ist teilweise auf die Spritzenanordnung aufgebracht. Zur fertigen Anbringung des Etiketts ist die in der Darstellung linke (etwas abstehend gezeichnete) Hälfte des Nachlaufteils 2 noch auf den Spritzenkörper 100 aufzukleben, wobei der Nachlaufteil 2 den Vorlaufteil 1 dann teilweise überlappt. Ist das Etikett fertig aufgeklebt, so sind die Distanzstücke 4 gleichmäßig über den Umfang der Schutzkappe 102 verteilt. Die Distanzstücke 4 sind auf der Unterseite der Grundschicht 3 im zum Vorlaufteil 1 versetzten Bereich des Nachlaufteils 2 mittels der Haftklebstoffbeschichtung (in Fig. 2a-d nicht dargestellt) aufgeklebt, welche auch für die Haftung zwischen Grundschicht 3 und Spritzenkörper 100 sorgt. Die Distanzstücke 4 können unterseitig ebenfalls mit Haftklebstoff beschichtet sein; dies ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform jedoch nicht erforderlich, da die Distanzstücke 4 das Abziehen der Schutzkappe 102 bereits aufgrund der Geometrie der Anordnung verhindern,A label according to the invention with a base layer 3 having a leading part 1 and a trailing part 2 and six spacers 4 is partially applied to the syringe assembly. For the finished affixing of the label, the left half of the trailing part 2, which is left in the illustration, is still adhered to the syringe body 100, wherein the trailing part 2 partially overlaps the leading part 1. Once the label has been glued on, the spacers 4 are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the protective cap 102. The spacers 4 are on the underside of the base layer 3 in the staggered portion 1 of the trailing part 2 by means of the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating (not shown in Fig. 2a-d), which also ensures the adhesion between the base layer 3 and syringe body 100. The spacers 4 may also be coated on the underside with pressure-sensitive adhesive; However, this is not necessary in the illustrated embodiment, since the spacers 4 prevent the removal of the cap 102 already due to the geometry of the arrangement,

Die Detaildarstellung in Fig. 2b, in welcher lediglich drei Distanzstücke 4 und die Schutzkappe 102 abgebildet sind, zeigt, wie die Distanzstücke 4 mit dem ringförmigen Vorsprung 103 der Schutzkappe 102 in Eingriff stehen. Um die Schutzkappe 102 vom Spritzenkörper 100 abziehen zu können, müssen die Distanzstücke 4 aus ihrer Lage entfernt werden. Dies ist erfindungsgemäß nur unter Zerstörung des Etiketts möglich. Realisierbar ist dies auf unterschiedliche Weise. Beispielsweise kann eine Perforation vorgesehen sein (vgl. Ausführungsform der Fig. 4), welche ein Abreißen desjenigen Teils des Etiketts ermöglicht, auf welchem die Distanzstücke 4 angeordnet sind. Alternativ können Vorkehrungen getroffen sein, welche ein Abscheren der einzelnen Distanzstücke 4 nahe der Grundschicht 3 ermöglichen. Denkbar sind beispielsweise eine mehrlagige Ausführung der Grundschicht 3 mit einer leicht abscherenden unteren Lage oder übliche Maßnahmen für eine verminderte Klebekraft der Haftklebstoffbeschichtung zwischen Distanzstücken 4 und Grundschicht 3. Eine Zerstörung des Etiketts in der beschriebenen Weise oder auf andere Art zeigt dann den Siegelbruch an.The detailed illustration in FIG. 2b, in which only three spacers 4 and the protective cap 102 are shown, shows how the spacers 4 are in engagement with the annular projection 103 of the protective cap 102. In order to remove the protective cap 102 from the syringe body 100, the spacers 4 must be removed from their position. This is possible according to the invention only with destruction of the label. This can be realized in different ways. For example, a perforation may be provided (see embodiment of Fig. 4), which allows a tearing of that part of the label on which the spacers 4 are arranged. Alternatively, provisions may be made which allow shearing of the individual spacers 4 near the base layer 3. Conceivable, for example, a multilayer design of the base layer 3 with a slightly shearing lower layer or conventional measures for a reduced adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating between spacers 4 and base layer 3. A destruction of the label in the manner described or otherwise indicates the seal breakage.

Fig. 2c dient der Veranschaulichung von Fig. 2a, indem die Grundschicht 3 unter Weglassung aller anderen Bestandteile der Anordnung dargestellt ist. Fig. 2d zeigt das Etikett in ebener Darstellung in der Draufsicht, wobei die Lage der Distanzstücke 4 strichliert angedeutet ist.Fig. 2c serves to illustrate Fig. 2a, in which the base layer 3 is shown omitting all other components of the arrangement. Fig. 2d shows the label in a plan view in plan view, wherein the position of the spacers 4 is indicated by dashed lines.

Fig. 3a zeigt in ebener Darstellung ein erfindungsgemäßes Etikett mit einem Voidfolienaufbau 5 im Bereich des Nachlaufteils 2. Bei bestimmungsgemäßer Anbringung überlappt der Nachlaufteil 2 mit seinem Voidfolienaufbau 5 den Vorlaufteil 1. Sowohl Nachlaufteil 2 als auch Vorlaufteil 1 besitzen daher eine Länge, welche im Bereich des Umfangs desjenigen der zu übersiegelnden Körper mit dem größeren Querschnitt liegt. Die Lage der Distanzstücke 4 im zum Vorlaufteil 1 versetzten Bereich des Nachlaufteils 3 ist strichliert angedeutet. Im Bereich des Vorlaufteils 1 ist das Etikett mit einem Aufdruck 6 versehen.3a shows in a planar representation of an inventive label with a Voidfolienaufbau 5 in the region of the trailing part 2. When appropriate attachment of the trailing part 2 overlaps with his Voidfolienaufbau 5 the leader 1. Both trailing part 2 and supply part 1 therefore have a length which in the area the extent of that of the body to be sealed with the larger one Cross section is. The position of the spacers 4 in the staggered portion 1 of the trailing part 3 is indicated by dashed lines. In the area of the leader 1, the label is provided with an imprint 6.

Fig. 3b-c zeigen Schnittdarstellungen des Etiketts aus Fig. 3a, und zwar Fig. 3b in der durch die Strichpunktlinie A-A' angedeuteten Schnittebene, Fig. 3c in der durch die Strichpunktlinie B-B' angedeuteten Schnittebene, und Fig. 3d in der durch die Strichpunktlinie C-C' angedeuteten Schnittebene.Fig. 3b-c show sectional views of the label of Fig. 3a, and indeed Fig. 3b in the direction indicated by the dashed line AA 'sectional plane, Fig. 3c in the direction indicated by the dashed line BB' sectional plane, and Fig. 3d in which by Dash line CC 'indicated cutting plane.

Der Voidfolienaufbau 5 kann ausgeführt sein wie herkömmliche, hinreichend bekannte Voidfolien. Ein Beispiel eines geeigneten Voidfolienaufbaus ist in Fig. 3c erkennbar. Es befindet sich eine Farbschicht 7 auf der Unterseite der selbstklebenden Beschichtung 8, welche auch der Anbringung der Grundschicht 3 auf dem zu übersiegelnden Körper mit dem größeren Querschnitt sowie der Anbringung der Distanzstücke 4 auf der Grundschicht 3 dient. Die Farbschicht 7 ist über einen Haftvermittler 9 mit einem Folienstück 10 verbunden, welches unterseitig eine Klebstoffschicht 11 aufweist. Lokal ist die Haftung zwischen Farbschicht 7 und Folienstück 10 durch Adhäsionsverminderer 12 reduziert. Dort haftet die Farbschicht 7 stärker an der selbstklebenden Beschichtung 8 als an dem Folienstück 10. Ansonsten ist die Haftung der Farbschicht 7 an dem Folienstück 10 (über den Haftvermittler 9) stärker, als die Haftung zwischen Farbschicht 7 und selbstklebender Beschichtung 8.The void film assembly 5 can be made as conventional, well-known void films. An example of a suitable void film construction can be seen in FIG. 3c. There is a color layer 7 on the underside of the self-adhesive coating 8, which also serves to attach the base layer 3 on the body to be sealed with the larger cross-section and the attachment of the spacers 4 on the base layer 3. The ink layer 7 is connected via a bonding agent 9 with a piece of film 10, which has an adhesive layer 11 on the underside. Locally the adhesion between ink layer 7 and film piece 10 is reduced by adhesion reducer 12. Otherwise, the adhesion of the ink layer 7 to the film piece 10 (via the adhesion promoter 9) is greater than the adhesion between the color layer 7 and the self-adhesive coating 8.

Bei bestimmungsgemäßer selbstüberlappender Anbringung des Etiketts haftet die Klebstoffschicht 11 auf der Oberseite des Vorlaufteils 1. Versucht man den Nachlaufteil 2 vom Vorlaufteil 1 abzuziehen, so trennt sich der Voidfolienaufbau 5 dergestalt, daß die Farbschicht 7 im Bereich der Adhäsionsverminderer 12 mit abgezogen wird, die übrigen Bereiche der Farbschicht 7 jedoch mit dem Folienstück 10 auf dem zweiten Vorlaufteil 1 verbleiben. Da die Grundschicht 3 des Etiketts zumindest im Bereich des Voidfolienaufbaus 5 transparent ist, sind am Nachlaufteil 2 haftenden Teile der Farbschicht 7 deutlich erkennbar. Bei entsprechender Anordnung der Adhäsionsverminderer 12 bilden die am Vorlaufteil 2 haftenden Teile der Farbschicht 7 ein charakteristisches Muster oder einen charakteristischen Schriftzug 13, der den Siegelbruch irreversibel anzeigt. Solange das Siegel unverletzt ist, ist der Schriftzug 13 nicht sichtbar.When intended self-overlapping attachment of the label, the adhesive layer 11 adheres to the top of the lead part 1. Attempting to deduct the trailing part 2 from the leader 1, so separates the Voidfolienaufbau 5 such that the ink layer 7 is subtracted in the region of Adhäsionsverminderer 12, the rest Regions of the ink layer 7, however, remain with the film piece 10 on the second leader part 1. Since the base layer 3 of the label is transparent at least in the region of the void film structure 5, adhering parts of the ink layer 7 are clearly recognizable on the trailing part 2. With a suitable arrangement of the adhesion reducer 12, the parts of the ink layer 7 which adhere to the supply part 2 form a characteristic pattern or a characteristic lettering 13 which irreversibly indicates the seal breakage. As long as the seal is unhurt, the lettering 13 is not visible.

Ein transparenter Nachlaufteil 2 bei ansonsten nicht-transparentem Etikett läßt sich zum Beispiel dadurch erzielen, daß das Etikett aus der durchgehenden transparenten Grundschicht 3 gestanzt ist, welche außer im Bereich des Nachlaufteils 2 mit einer opaken Schicht 14 bedruckt ist.A transparent trailing part 2 with an otherwise non-transparent label can be achieved, for example, by stamping the label from the continuous transparent base layer 3, which is printed with an opaque layer 14, except in the region of the trailing part 2.

Die unterseitige Klebstoffbeschichtung 14 der Distanzstücke 4 kann entbehrlich sein (etwa bei Anbringung auf eine Anordnung gemäß Fig. 1).The underside adhesive coating 14 of the spacers 4 may be dispensable (for example when mounted on an arrangement according to FIG. 1).

Zum erleichterten Abziehen des Nachlaufteils 2 beim bestimmungsgemäßen Öffnen der Versiegelung ist dem Nachlaufteil 2 eine Anfaßlasche 15 angeformt, welche an ihrer Unterseite klebstofffrei ist oder eine verminderte Haftkraft aufweist.To facilitate removal of the trailing part 2 during the intended opening of the seal the trailing part 2 is a gripping tab 15 is formed, which is free of adhesive on its underside or has a reduced adhesive force.

Figur 4 zeigt ein ähnlich ausgeführtes erfindungsgemäßes Etikett, wobei anstelle eines Voidaufbaus 5 eine Perforationslinie 17 vorgesehen ist, um einen Siegelbruch anzuzeigen. Die Anbringung erfolgt wieder analog Fig. 2a-c. Durch weitere Perforationslinien 19 abtrennbare Abschnitte des Nachlaufteils 2 sind als Belegabschnitte 16 ausgeführt, welche nach dem Abtrennen zu Dokumentationszwecken archiviert werden können. Bei bestimmungsgemäßer selbstüberlappender Anbringung des Etiketts kommen die Belegabschnitte 16 auf einem silikonisierten oder anderweitig klebstoffabweisend beschichteten Bereich 20 des Vorlaufteils 1 zu liegen, um leichter ablösbar zu sein, ohne das restliche Etikett oder die Versiegelung zu beschädigen. Lokale Aussparungen 18 in der unterseitigen Haftklebstoffbeschichtung (in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellt) können als Anfaßbereiche für die Belegabschnitte 16 dienen.Figure 4 shows a similarly designed according to the invention label, wherein instead of a Voidaufbaus 5 a perforation 17 is provided to indicate a seal breakage. The attachment is again analogous to Fig. 2a-c. By further perforation lines 19 separable portions of the trailer part 2 are designed as slip sections 16, which can be archived after separation for documentation purposes. Upon proper self-overlapping attachment of the label, the document sections 16 come to lie on a siliconized or otherwise adhesive repellent coated portion 20 of the leader 1 to be easier to remove without damaging the remaining label or seal. Local recesses 18 in the lower-side pressure-sensitive adhesive coating (not shown in FIG. 4) can serve as gripping areas for the receipt sections 16.

In Fig. 5 ist eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt. Die Grundschicht 3 des Etiketts ist so bemessen, daß sie bei bestimmungsgemäßer Anbringung auf demjenigen der zu übersiegelnden Körper mit dem größeren Querschnitt im Bereich des Übergangs sich nicht selbst überlappt, sich jedoch annähernd über den gesamten Umfang des besagten Körpers erstreckt, so daß die Distanzstücke 4 etwa gleichmäßig über den Umfang des anderen, koaxial angeordneten Körpers angeordnet sind. Die Versiegelungswirkung ist wie oben beschrieben. Eine Perforationslinie 17 sorgt für die Zerstörung des Etiketts beim Öffnen der Versiegelung.In Fig. 5 a particularly simple and inexpensive embodiment of the present invention is shown. The base layer 3 of the label is dimensioned such that it does not overlap itself when properly applied to that of the body to be sealed with the larger cross section in the transition area, but extends approximately over the entire circumference of said body, so that the spacers. 4 are arranged approximately uniformly over the circumference of the other, coaxially arranged body. The sealing effect is as described above. A perforation line 17 destroys the label when the seal is opened.

Fig. 6a zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung ähnlich Fig. 3d durch ein Ettikett, dessen Distanzstücke 4 aus einem aufschäumbaren Material bestehen, das im übrigen jedoch wie das in Fig. 3a-d dargestellte Etikett aufgebaut sein kann. Fig. 6b zeigt die gleiche Darstellung, jedoch nach dem Aufschäumen. Die Distanzstücke 4 sind mittels der Haftklebstoffschicht 8 auf der Grundschicht 3 aufgebracht und ihrerseits unterseitig mit einer Haftklebstoffbeschichtung 11 versehen.Fig. 6a shows a sectional view similar to Fig. 3d by an Ettikett whose spacers 4 are made of a foamable material, which, however, may be constructed as the label shown in Fig. 3a-d otherwise. Fig. 6b shows the same illustration, but after foaming. The spacers 4 are applied by means of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 on the base layer 3 and in turn provided on the underside with a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating 11.

Fig. 7a und 7b zeigen analoge Dartstellungen aines ähnlich aufgebauten Etiketts, im Unterschied zu Fig. 6a und 6b sind jedoch die Distanzstücke 4 in Form einer unterbrochenen Intumeszenzfarbschicht drucktechnisch direkt auf die Grundschicht 3 aufgebracht. Die Haftklebstoffschicht 8 ist vor dem Aufkleben durchgehend in im wesentlichen einem Arbeitsgang auf Grundschicht 3 und Intumeszenzfarbschicht aufgetragen. Die Intumeszenzfarbe enthält Bestandteile, welche Strahlung (in der praktischen Anwendung vorzugsweise Laserstrahlung) eines bestimmten Wellenlängenbereichs absorbiert, so daß eine gezielte lokale Wärmeeinbringung zur Initiierung des Aufschäumvorgangs möglich ist.FIGS. 7a and 7b show analogous dart positions of a similarly structured label, but in contrast to FIGS. 6a and 6b, the spacers 4 are applied directly to the base layer 3 in the form of an interrupted intumescent color layer by printing technology. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 is applied continuously prior to sticking in essentially one operation on base layer 3 and Intumeszenzfarbschicht. The intumescent paint contains components which absorb radiation (in practice, preferably laser radiation) of a specific wavelength range, so that a targeted local heat input is possible to initiate the foaming process.

Fig. 8a zeigt wiederum einen ähnlichen Aufbau wie Fig. 7a, allerdings ist die das Distanzstück 4 bildende Intumeszenzfarbschicht durchgehend ausgeführt, und die Haftklebstoffschicht (in Fig. 8a-d nicht dargestellt) befindet sich nur an der nicht mit Intumeszenzfarbe versehenen unterseitigen Teilfläche der Grundschicht 3.Fig. 8a again shows a similar structure as Fig. 7a, however, the spacer 4 forming Intumeszenzfarbschicht is executed throughout, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (not shown in Fig. 8a-d) is located only on the not provided with intumescent underside face of the base layer third

Die in Fig. 8b mit stark übertrieben dargestellter Wandung abgebildete Anordnung entspricht in etwa der Spritzenanordnung aus Fig. 1. Es handelt sich um einen Schnitt im Bereich der Schutzkappe 102 mit zur Längsachse der Spritzenanordnung paralleler Schnittebene. Sichtbar sind die außerhalb der Ebene befindlichen Wandungen des Spritzenkörpers 100 und des Rands 103 der Schutzkappe 102. Nicht dargestellt ist die Spritzennadel.The arrangement shown in FIG. 8b with a greatly exaggerated wall corresponds approximately to the syringe arrangement from FIG. 1. It is a section in the area of the protective cap 102 with a sectional plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the syringe arrangement. Visible are the out-of-plane walls of the syringe body 100 and the edge 103 of the protective cap 102. Not shown is the syringe needle.

Fig. 8c zeigt die Anordnung aus Fig. 8b in derselben Schnittebene, jedoch nach Aufbringen des in Fig. 8b abgebildeten Etiketts. Nach dem Aufschäumen steht das Distanzstück 4 mit dem Rand 103 der Schutzkappe 102 in Eingriff, wie in Fig. 8d anhand der strichliert dargestellten verdeckten Außenkontur des Rands 103 erkennbar ist. Hierdurch wird eine wirksame Versiegelung erzielt.Fig. 8c shows the arrangement of Fig. 8b in the same sectional plane, but after applying the label shown in Fig. 8b. After foaming, the spacer 4 is in engagement with the edge 103 of the protective cap 102, as can be seen in FIG. 8d with reference to the hidden outer contour of the edge 103 shown in dashed lines. As a result, an effective seal is achieved.
