Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a sticker press, and more particularly to a press structure that can print pictures and texts on a surface of an adhesive layer of a sticker.
- A structure of an ordinary sticker consists of a layer of adhesive at a back surface of a front sheet of the sticker with a piece of detachable back sheet attached to an exterior side of the layer of adhesive. And, a pattern of the sticker is printed on a front surface of the front sheet of the sticker. Therefore, when the detachable back sheet of the sticker is peeled off, the front sheet of sticker can be pasted on a chosen object by the means of the adhesive layer at its back surface, and the pattern printed can be viewed in front of the front sheet of the sticker.
- When an advertisement sticker is to be pasted on an inner surface of a glass in order to view a content of the advertisement from an exterior surface of the glass, a front sheet of the advertisement sticker can only be made of a transparent material, such that a printed layer on a surface of the front sheet can be viewed through the transparent front sheet and the glass. However, only a single-color printing method can be suitable for the printed layer of such an advertisement sticker, as when a chromatic layout of a color-separation printing method is used, a registering effect applied by the printing technique will expose the pattern at an edge of impression of a registering platen of color-separation on the back surface of the front sheet, thereby creating an imperfect view. In order to overcome this phenomenon, in each time of a registering printing, the pattern needs to be precisely printed on a chosen location, as a printing may be left out if there is a minor deviation in registering. Therefore, it is not easy to achieve a precise registering technique necessary for a chromatic printing of such an advertisement sticker.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a sticker press to print a pattern on a surface of an adhesive layer of a front sheet of a sticker, so as to broaden an area of application of the stickers, and to perfectly manifest a precise chromatic layout with an ordinary color-separation printing technique.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a sticker press wherein a plurality of divisional rollers are located at a feed-in end of a sticker roll, such that the sticker roll can transmit a front sheet and a back sheet separately by the means of divisional rolls.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a sticker press wherein a support roller and a platen roller are located in a midway to a feeding path of the front sheet, such that the front sheet can be fed into an interface between the two rollers in a tangential direction, which enables the surface of adhesive layer of the front sheet to be in touch with the platen roller by a single line for performing a printing operation.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a sticker press wherein the front sheet will be fed into a dryer for drying an ink, after accomplishing the printing on the surface of adhesive layer of the front sheet.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a sticker press wherein the front sheet can be re-pasted with the back sheet after being fed out of the dryer, and the sticker on which a one-time registering printing is accomplished is further fed into a printing compartment for performing a registering printing.
- To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
-
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a planar structure layout of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a feeding angle in feeding a front sheet to a platen roller.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of another feeding angle in feeding a front sheet to a platen roller.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a sticker product on which a pattern has been printed on a surface of an adhesive layer.
- Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention comprises primarily a press 1 provided with a printing compartment having a plurality of
divisional rollers 11, asupport roller 12, aplaten roller 13, and adryer 14. Thedivisional rollers 11 are located at a feed-in end of the press 1 to feed afront sheet 21 and aback sheet 22 of a sticker roll 2 into different pathways respectively. Thesupport roller 12 is located in a midway to the pathway of thefront sheet 21 in the printing compartment to feed thefront sheet 21 together with theplaten roller 13; a cylindrical surface of thesupport roller 12 is made of a rigid material, so as to enable thesupport roller 12 to be in touch with a surface of thefront sheet 21. Theplaten roller 13 is a roller whose cylindrical surface installed a platen. Theplaten roller 13 is located next to thesupport roller 12, such that theplaten roller 13 is in touch with anadhesive layer 211 of thefront sheet 21 by a single line, and is connected with anink roller 15 at an opposite location to thesupport roller 12. Thedryer 14 is located at a chosen position in a rear section of pathway of thefront sheet 21 in the printing compartment, so as to perform a drying operation to a printed pattern on theadhesive layer 211 of thefront sheet 21. - After using the aforementioned constructs to pull the
sticker roll 2 into the printing compartment of the press 1, thefront sheet 21 and theback sheet 22 are separated manually, so as to feed in thefront sheet 21 and theback sheet 22 along their own pathways by the means of thedivisional rollers 11. Thefront sheet 21 is fed into an interface between thesupport roller 12 and theplaten roller 13 in a tangential direction along the pathway, such that theadhesive layer 211 of thefront sheet 21 can be only in touch with theplaten roller 13 by a single line for printing. Next, thefront sheet 21 is fed into thedryer 14 for drying the ink, and is then re-pasted with theback sheet 22 after being fed out of thedryer 14. Accordingly, a printing operation on the adhesive layer of the sticker is successfully accomplished. - Moreover, as a printing surface of the present invention is operating on the
adhesive layer 211 of thefront sheet 21, upon entering the interface between thesupport roller 12 and theplaten roller 13, thefront sheet 21 must be fed in at an angle greater than or equal to a tangential angle at a contact point of the platen roller 13 (as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3), in order that thefront sheet 21 will not be stuck on theplaten roller 13 by the adhesive layer, during a printing process. Accordingly, theadhesive layer 211 of thefront sheet 21 can be kept at a single-line contact with theplaten roller 13, to avoid a sticking of thefront sheet 21. Similarly, along a pathway made by thedivisional rollers 11, thefront sheet 21 is in touch with thedivisional rollers 11 by its surface, thereby avoiding a sticking phenomenon. - Furthermore, a printing technique on the adhesive layer of the present invention can be easily applied to a color-separation printing on the
adhesive layer 211 of an advertisement sticker, so as to display an enriched chromatic advertisement pattern 3 (as shown in FIG. 4) of the advertisement sticker at a back surface of a glass, without a precise overprinting. Therefore, the process would be very easy and a chromatic printing would be accurate. In addition, thefront sheet 21 of the advertisement sticker is not necessarily made of a transparent material, and all kinds of opaque patterns can be chosen as a background pattern of the color advertisement, so as to enable the advertisement sticker to have a design of more versatile advertisement pattern. - It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
