Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of building insulation elements which comprise a handle in order to facilitate their gripping and handling before their application as such. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION as an insulation element, or even during their application as such as an insulation element.
• the present invention relates more particularly to an insulation element, possibly packaged and / or compressed, said element comprising at least one roll of insulating material, or at least one panel of insulating material, the insulating material being able to be, for example, glass wool or rockwool, said roller or panel being at least partially surrounded by a plastic or cardboard packaging, said insulation element further comprising at least one label comprising an outer film as well as a layer of adhesive material which is located directly or indirectly under said outer film and under the entire surface of said outer film, said label being applied against a surface, which may be that of a package or the roll or panel itself of said insulating member and adhering thereto by said layer of adhesive material, said label having a peel whereby the said insulating member is grasped manually and the layer of adhesive material is present where the handle is.
• a characteristic of an insulation element before its use as such as a building insulation element is to be relatively light (5 to 25 kg) so that it can be manually grasped, while being relatively bulky, with an overall length of the order of 1.0 or 1.2 m and an overall width of the order of half the length or an overall length and width of each on the order of 0.5 or 0.6 m; an insulation element can therefore, by nature, be grasped manually, arm-in-arm, but is not easy to handle; a fortiori, it is difficult for a person to seize and manipulate several insulation elements at once, which can be very useful to save time especially on construction sites or renovation.
• Patent applications No. WO 01/10737, DE 29913624, or WO 2012/072600 propose solutions to this problem.
• WO 2012/072600 proposes in particular a label solution comprising at least one outer film in which are arranged in this order at least one layer of adhesive material and a removable support which is intended to be removed during from the application of the label to the surface of the packaging of the insulation element.
• This label may comprise two longitudinal incisions which both traverse said outer film over its entire thickness, and only this outer film.
• the handle portion To be able to grasp the label by a portion of the outer film which is located between the two incisions after the label has been glued to the package by the layer of adhesive material, and thus to be able to manually grasp the insulation element by this portion which is called “handle portion”, it is proposed in this document to cover the layer of adhesive material which is located under this handle portion of a layer of varnish that will "kill” (this is the word of this document) the layer of adhesive material.
• the description specifies that the total thickness in the handle portion is: the thickness of the outer film + the thickness of the layer of adhesive material + the thickness of the varnish + the thickness of the ink (the ink being supposedly deposited on the opposite side, on the outer film); this total thickness is about 170 ⁇ .
• the present invention provides a solution for manually entering one or more insulation element (s) of the aforementioned type, in a reliable and practical manner, with a label that is simple to manufacture, inexpensive, simple to attach to said insulation element and which further has a reinforced handle.
• the present invention proposes that when the label is removed from its support film to be affixed and glued against the packaging of the insulation element or against the insulation element itself, a portion of this support film remains under the layer of adhesive material so that, in this portion where the support film has remained, a handle is formed by the succession at least, in this order, of the outer film, the layer of adhesive material and the support film portion .
• This portion of support film is thus located in the lower part of the handle and is part of the handle; the handle therefore comprises at least from the outside in the direction of the roll or the panel, in this order: the outer film, the layer of adhesive material, then the support film portion.
• a raised state which is reached by sliding at least one finger through one of the longitudinal incisions and between the first part of the carrier film and secondly the roll or the panel, or its packaging if it has one ; in this state, the handle protrudes from the surface of the insulation member.
• This insulation element comprises at least one roller, or at least one panel, of insulating material, such as glass wool or rockwool, said insulating member further comprising at least one label comprising on the one hand an outer film having an upper printed side and, on the other hand, a layer of adhesive material located under said outer film, said label being applied against a surface of said insulating member and adhering thereto by said layer of adhesive material, said label having a handle for manually gripping said insulating member.

• This insulating element is remarkable in that said label comprises at least two longitudinal incisions which both pass through said outer film and said layer of adhesive material over all their respective thicknesses and a portion of the support film which is situated between at least partly between said two longitudinal incisions and secondly under said layer of adhesive material.
• Said portion of the support film is located at least partly between said two longitudinal incisions when the label is considered according to its width and this portion of the support film is located on the other hand under said layer of adhesive material when the label is considered according to its thickness.
• Said portion of the support film provides a lower reinforcement for said handle.
• Said insulation element provided with the label may be in a compressed state; it may also be packaged: said roll or panel may be at least partially surrounded by a plastic or cardboard packaging or a plurality of rolls or panels may be at least partially surrounded, together, with a plastic packaging or cardboard.
• Said layer of adhesive material is located directly or indirectly under said outer film: it is possible for one (or more) layers to be present (s) between said outer film and said layer of adhesive material.

• the layer of adhesive material may be a layer of acrylic glue.
• said label comprises, according to its thickness, at least said outer film in which are arranged, in this order, a layer of intermediate adhesive material, a layer of fabric and said layer of adhesive material, in order to reinforce said label as well as its handle.
• This extra reinforcement increases the thickness of the label, but the layers can be chosen fine so that this increase is reasonable (+ 150 ⁇ for example).
• the layer of intermediate adhesive material may also be a layer of acrylic glue.
• the tissue layer may be a woven or non-woven (“matte”) using acetate threads.

• This separation of the support film portion 52, which is the hatched portion in FIG. 4, of the support film 51 is performed automatically when a finger, or even a tool, is slid under the handle 6 between the support film portion 52. and the surface 10 on which glue the rest of the label.

• the label has a central longitudinal axis X, which is a longitudinal axis of symmetry and a central transverse axis Y which is a transverse axis of symmetry.
• the longitudinal axis of symmetry makes it possible not to impose a direction according to the length of the label during its bonding and each of these two axes of symmetry allows a balanced distribution, on each side of this axis, of the stresses generated by the gripping. of the handle.

• This radius of curvature r ' is preferably between 2 and 22 cm.
• the longitudinal edges of the support film portion is greater than the radius of curvature r 'of the curvature of the transverse edges of the support film portion, in order to facilitate the detachment of the support film portion 52 from the rest of the support film 51 when the application of the label 5 against the surface 10.
• the width of the handle at the widest point is less than the width at the widest (that is, here the along the Y axis) between a longitudinal edge of the label 5 and an adjacent longitudinal edge 64, 64 'of the support film portion 52.
