Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LABEL-CONTINUED SHEET BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for manuf acturing a labelcontinued sheet, and more particularly, to the method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet in which labels each having an opening formed at a predetermined position thereof are releasably adhered to a release base paper in the longitudinal direction thereof with regular intervals provided therebetween.
Descr-iption of the Prior Arts
In recent years, there is a growing demand for the development of a method for effectively manufacturing a label-continued sheet in which each labels having an opening formed therein are releasably adhered to a release base paper.
According to the conventional method for manufacturing such a labelcontinued sheet as described above, the label and the release base paper are punched. That is, an opening is formed on the release base paper as well.
The release base paper is warped. Therefore, it is difficult to hold the label-continued sheet around a roller.
- 1 In releasing labels from the release base paper. to stick them to articles one by one by an automatic label sticking apparatus, labels are not -appropriately released from the release base paper when tension is applied to the release base paper and the label. As a result, labels are wrinkled in the vicinity of the opening formed therein. As such, labels cannot be stuck to articles at a predetermined position thereof.
The above method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet is inappropriate for a mass production and expensive.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore the principal object of the present invention to provide a method for mass producing a labelcontinued sheet in which labels each having an opening formed therein are adhered to a release base paper effectively and inexpensively.
A method for manufacturing a label-continued sheet according to the present invention comprises the steps of: forming a laminated sheet by temporarily adhering label base paper to release base paper with an adhesive layer; forming a cut line corresponding to the outline of an opening of a predetermined configuration in the label base paper from one principal surface thereof to the other principal surface thereof; forming the opening in the label base paper by releasing a portion surrounded with the cut line f ormed on the label base paper from the laminated sheet in the boundary between the adhesive layer and the release base paper; press-cutting the label base paper from one principal surface thereof to the other principal surface thereof so. as to shape the label base paper into a predetermined conf iguration; and separating an unnecessary portion of the label base paper-from the label.
According to the present invention, af ter a cut line corresponding to the outline of an opening is formed only on the label base paper, the portion surrounded with the cut line is released from a laminated sheet consisting of the release base paper and the label base paper in such a manner that the opening is formed only in the label base paper.
Accordingly, in sticking labels on articles by an automatic label sticking machine, labels are not. wrinkled when tension is applied thereto. Theref ore, they are not warped and can be smoothly stuck to articles.
These objects and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIME2US
Fig. 1 is a schematic illustration showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for embodying the manufacturing method according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a label-continued sheet manufactured by the apparatus shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a. sectional view taken along the line III-III shown in Fig. 2.
- 5 A label-continued sheet 10 includes long and narrow release base paper 12. The back surf ace of a label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surf ace of the release base paper 12 with an adhesive layer 18 formed thereon. The labels 14 are spaced at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the label-continued sheet 10. The label 14 has, for example, an elliptical opening 16 formed i.n approximately the center thereof. The opening 16 may be rectangular or circular as shown in Figs. 10 and 11, respectively.
The release base paper 12 consists of, f or example, a long and narrow sheet made of such as paper and a synthetic resin. The release base paper 12 is coated with a release agent such as silicon to form a release agent layer thereon. Accordingly, the label 14 is releasably adhered to the release base paper 12.
A method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10 according to the present invention will be described below based on a representative manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1.
First, a long belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper - 12 with the adhesive layer 18 formed by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the label base paper 14a. Thus, a laminated sheet 11 is formed. The laminated sheet 11 is 1 wound around a holding roller 52 of a manufacturing apparatus 50 in order to feed it to each manuf acturing process of the label-continued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus 50 includes the holding roller 52 for holding the laminated sheet 11. One end.of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and release base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 54.
The cut line f orming device 54 comprises a die roll 56 provided on the surf ace thereof and having cutting 'edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 56 forms a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a f rom the upper surf ace to the lower surf ace thereof. The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the-outline of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration. The cut line forming device 54 may be of a f lat type die cutter having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16.
The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the predetermined cut line 16a f ormed thereon is guided to a release plate 58.
The release plate 58 has a function of releasing an unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a - from the laminated sheet. 11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a f ormed thereon. The unnecessary portion 17 is released f rom the laminated sheet 11 in the boundary between the adhesive layer 18 and the release base paper 12. The release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon travelling horizontally along the release plate 58 are folded down and then, moved downward in the backward direction. Thus, the unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a is released from the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. only the unnecessary portion 17 encircled with the cut line 16a moves horizontally due to its rigidity.
The unnecessary portion 17 released from the release base paper 12 of the laminated sheet 11 by the release plate 58 drops to a box 60. That is, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is f ormed on only the label base paper 14a.
The laminated sheet 11 including the release base paper 14a having the opening 16 f ormed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 68 through guide rollers 62, 64, and 66.
The press-cutting device 68 has a function of shaping the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon into the predetermined configuration. The press- - 8 cutting device 68 includes a die roll 70 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the label 14. The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration is divided into the label portion 14 and the unnecessary portion 15 by the cut line 15a. Thereafter, a removing roller 76 winds the unnecessary portion 15 from the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration. on the other hand, the label 14 is wound around a roller 78.
According to the label-continued sheet 10 thus manufactured, the opening 16 is not formed on the release base paper 12, but only on the label 14. Unlike the conventional label-continued sheet in which an opening is formed on both the release base paper and the label, the label-continued sheet 10 is superior in that even though tension is applied to the release base paper 12 and the label 14 having the opening 16 formed thereon, it can be wound around the winding roller 78 without being wrinkled or displaced. Accordingly, an automatic label sticking apparatus (not shown) is capable of correctly peeling the label 14 off the release base paper 12 and sticking it to an article at an appropriate position. thereof.
Another method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10 according to the present invention is described based on a manufacturing apparatus as shown in Fig. 4.
First, a long belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surf ace of the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18 by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the base label paper 14a. Thus, a laminated sheet 11 is formed. The laminated sheet is wound around a holding roller 152 of a manufacturing apparatus 150 in order to feed it to each manufacturing process of the label-continued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus 150 includes the holding roller 152 for holding the laminated sheet 11. one end of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and release base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 154.
The cut line forming device 154 comprises a die roll 156 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 156 f orms a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a f rom the upper surf ace to the lower surf ace thereof. The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the outline of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration. The cut line forming device 154 may be of a flat type die 4 cutter having cutting edges corresponding to the conf iguration of the opening 16.
The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the predetermined cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to a laminating device 158.
A hot-melt adhesive agent is applied to one principal surface of a long belt-like f ilm sheet 22 consisting of a synthetic resin and dried to form an adhesive layer 24 on a sheet 26 f or removing an unnecessary portion. The removing sheet 26 is held by a holding roller 160.
one end of the removing sheet 26 is unrolled and guided to a laminating device 158 comprising two rollers 158a and 158b.
An unnecessary portion 17 which is surrounded with the cut line 16a and peeled of f the label base paper 14a is adhered to the adhesive layer 24 of the removing sheet 26 by a removing device 162 which will be described later.
The laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a and the release base paper 12 and the removing sheet 26 are guided between the rollers 158a and 15b so that the adhesive layer 24 is laminated on the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. Then, the rollers 158a and 158b are rotated to laminate the removing sheet 26 including the adhesive layer 24 on the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a.
4 The laminated material thus f ormed is guided to the removing device 162. The removing device 162 has a function of adhering the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base paper 14a -to the adhesive layer 24 of the removing sheet 26 so as to peel the unnecessary portion 17 off the label base paper 14a.
The removing. device 162 includes a heat roller 164 having pressing molds 166 formed on the surface thereof. The configuration of each pressing mold 166 corresponds to the configuration of the opening 16 of the label 14. The removing device 162 further includes a roller 168, positioned below the heat roller 164, for sandwiching the laminated sheet in cooperation with the heat roller 164. The unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base paper 14a sandwiched between the pressing molds 166 of the heat roller 164 and the roller.168 is heated under pressure. As a result, the unnecessary portion 17 is adhered to the adhesive layer 24 of the removing sheet 26 and peeled off the label base paper 14a.
The unnecessary portion 17 adhered to the adhesive layer 24 of the removing sheet 26 is wound around a removing roller 174 through guide rollers 170 and 172.
Accordingly, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is formed only on the label base paper 14a.
Thereafter, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 176.
The press-cutting die 176 has a function of shaping the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 f ormed thereon into the predetermined configuration. The press-cutting die 176 includes a die roll 178 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the label 14. The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration is divided into the label portion 14 and the unnecessary portion 15 by the cut line 15a. Thereafter, a removing roller 184 winds, through guide rollers 180 and 182, the unnecessary portion 15 of the. laminated sheet -11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration. on the other hand, the label-continued sheet 10 is wound around a roller 186.
According to the label-continued sheet 10 thus manufactured, the opening 16 is not formed on the release base paper 12, but only on the label 14.
Fig. 5 shows a still another example of a manufacturing apparatus for carrying out the manufacturing method according to the present invention.
A manufacturing apparatus 200 shown in Fig. 5 differs from the manufacturing apparatus 150 of Fig. 4 in the method 13 - i for removing the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base paper 14a. Therefore, the method of the manufacturing apparatus 200 for removing the unnecessary portion 17 will be described below.
According to the manufacturing apparatus 150 shown in Fig. 4, the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a corresponding to the opening 16 is peeled off the label base paper 14a under pressure by adhering it to the hot-melt adhesive layer 24 of the removing sheet 26. According to the manufacturing apparatus 200 shown in Fig. 5, the unnecessary portion 17 is removed from the label base paper 14a by adhering the unnecessary portion 17 under pressure to a pressure sensitive adhesive layer.
That is, according to the manufacturing apparatus 200, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to a removing device 202.
The removing device 202 removes the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base paper 14a from the label base paper 14a.by adhering it to a pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 of the removing sheet 36.
The removing device 202 includes a frame 204 vertically movably supported by a cylinder 206. A pressing member 208 having a surface corresponding to the configuration of the 4 'i opening 16 of the label 14 is mounted on the lower surf ace of the frame 204 in the center thereof. Therefore, the pressing member 208 is vertically movable in association with the vertical movement of the frame 204 caused by the cylinder 206.
The frame 204 is provided with a holding reel 210 on an upper portion thereof. The holding reel 210 holds the removing sheet 36 including the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 formed by applying the pressure sensitive adhesive to one principal surf ace of a film sheet 32 made of a synthetic resin and drying it. A silicon release agent is applied to the other principal surface of the film sheet 32 to form a release adhesive layer thereon. The unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a is adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 of the removing sheet 36 so as to remove the unnecessary portion 17 from the label base paper 14a by the removing device 202.
one end of the removing sheet 36 is unrolled and guided between the pressing member 208 and a supporting base 214 through a guide roller 212. In this case, the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a laminated thereon and the removing sheet 36 are guided therebetween so that the- pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 is laminated on the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon. The - is - pressing member 208 and the supporting base 214 positioned below the pressing member 208 sandwich in cooperation with each other to compress the removing sheet 36 and the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base paper 14a of the laminated sheet 11.
That is, the unnecessary portion 17 is pressed against both the pressing member 208 and the supporting base 214. As a result., the unnecessary portion.17 encircled with the cut line 16a is adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 of the removing sheet 36. Thereafter, the unnecessary portion 17 is removed from the label base paper 14a.
The unnecessary portion 17 adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 is wound around a winding reel 218 through a guide roller 216.
The frame 204 is provided with a guide roller 216 positioned alongside the guide roller 212 and the winding reel 218 positioned alongside the holding reel 210. A weak rotational force is imparted to a motor not shown. Accordingly, the winding reel 218 is capable of winding the unnecessary portion 17 adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 of the removing sheet 36 through the guide roller 216.
Accordingly, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is formed only on the label base paper 14a.
1 4 Thereafter, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 276 so that the label base paper 14a is shaped into the predetermined configuration. Then, the unnecessary portion 15 of laminated sheet 11 -is wound around a roller 284. The label-continued sheet 10 thus formed is wound around a winding roller 286.
According to the manufacturing apparatuses shown in Figs. 4 and 5, after the opening 16 is f ormed on the label base paper 14a, the label base paper 14a is shaped into the predetermined conf iguration. The labelcontinued sheet 10 may be f ormed as f ollows - That is, af ter the label base paper 14a is press-cut into the conf iguration of the label 14, the cut line 16 corresponding to the outline of the opening 16 is f ormed on the label 14 at the predetermined position thereof. Then, the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a is removed from the label base paper 14a by adhering the unnecessary portion 17 to an adhesive layer so as to form the opening 16.
A method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet to be f ormed according to the above-described manner will be described below based on a manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 6.
According to the apparatus, as shown in Fig. 6, the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 - 17 i and the label base paper 1.4a releasably adhered thereto with the adhesive layer 18 is guided to a press-cutting device 376. The label base paper 14a is Press-cut to form a cut line 15a corresponding to the configuration of the label 14 by means of a die roll 378. Then, the unnecessary portion 15 of the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 15a formed thereon is wound around a removing roller 384 through guide rollers 380 and 382. Then, the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration and the release base paper 12 is guided to a cut line f orming device 354 so that the cut line 16a corresponding to the outline of the opening 16 is f ormed in the label base paper 14a by a die roll 356.
Thereafter, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a is guided to a laminating device 358.
The removing sheet 26 including the heat sensitive adhesive layer 24 is held around a holding roller 360. one end of the removing sheet 26 is unrolled and guided to the laminating device 358 so that it is laminated on the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper l4a. and the release base paper 12.
The laminated material thus formed is guided to a removing device 362 at which the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a formed on the label base - 18 1 f paper 14a is compressed between the pressing molds.366 of the heat roller 364 and a roller.368. As a result, the unnecessary portion 17 is adhered to the heat sensitive adhesive agent 24 of the removing sheet 26. Thus, the unnecessary portion 17 is removed from the label base paper 14a. In this manner, the label-continued sheet 10 including the label 14 having the opening 16 formed on the release base paper 12 is manufactured. Then, it is wound around a winding roller 386.
Another example of the method for manufacturing the label-continued sheet 10 is described below based on a manufac turing apparatus shown in Fig. 7.
First, a long belt-like label base paper 14a to be formed into the label 14 is releasably adhered to one principal surface of the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18 formed by applying a pressure sensitive adhesive to the back of the label base paper 14a. Thus, the laminated sheet 11 is formed. The laminated sheet is wound around a holding roller 452 of a manufacturing apparatus 450 in order to feed it to each manufacturing process of the label-continued sheet 10.
The manufacturing apparatus 450 includes the holding roller 452 for holding the laminated sheet 11. One end of the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper A- 14a and release base paper 12 is unrolled and guided to a cut line forming device 454.
The cut line forming device 454 comprises a die roll 456 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16. The die roll 456 f orms, a cut line 16a on the label base paper 14a f rom the upper surf ace to the lower surf ace thereof. The configuration of the cut line 16a corresponds to the outline of the opening 16 of a predetermined configuration. The cut line f orming device 4 5 4 may be of a flat type die cutter having cutting edges corresponding to the conf iguration of the opening 16.
The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the predetermined cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to a removing device 458. The removing device 458 is provided to remove the unnecessary portion.17 surrounded with the cut line 16a from the laminated sheet -11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a f ormed thereon in the boundary between the adhesive layer 18 and the release base paper 12.
The manufacturing apparatus 458 includes a sucking box 460, of a hollow rectangular solid configuration, serving as a means for sucking the unnecessary portion 17. As shown in Figs. BA and 8B, three elliptical sucking openings 462 each corresponding to the configuration of the opening 16 are 1 1 formed on the lower surface of the sucking box 460 in the widthwise direction thereof with regular intervals provided therebetween. The sucking opening 462 may be rectangular as shown in Fig. 8D if the opening 16 is rectangular.
The sucking box 460 is connected, through a pipe.464, with a negative pressure source (not shown), for example, a vacuum pump serving as a negative generating means so as to generate sucking force on the lower portion of the sucking box 460 through the sucking openings 462. Therefore, sucking force sticks the unnecessary portion 17, surrounded with the cut line 16a f ormed on the label base paper 14a of the laminated sheet 11, to the lower portion of the sucking box 460.
The sucking box 460 contains a pressing member 466 consisting of an elastic material, f or example, rubber or sponge. The pressing member 466 comprises three. pressing portions 468 sectionally elliptical. The area of the pressing portions 468 is each smaller than that of the sucking opening 462. Each of the three pressing portions 468 is positioned in correspondence with each of the three sucking openings 462. The pressing member 466 is vertically movably supported by a cylinder 470. As such, as shown in Fig. 8C, the pressing member 466 presses the unnecessary portion 17 downward, thus dropping it into a container (not shown). As shown in Fig. 8D, each of the three pressing X 1 1 4 portions 468 may be prov.Ided with three openings - each sectionally circular and corresponding with the conf iguration of the opening 16. The configuration, number, and arrangement of the pressing portion 468 may be selected as desired.
- Accordingly, in the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the release base paper 12 and the label base paper 14a, the opening 16 is formed only on the label base paper 14a.
Thereafter, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14ahaving the opening 16 formed thereon is guided to a press-cutting device 472.
The press-cutting die 472 has a function of shaping the label base paper 14a having the opening 16 formed thereon into the predetermined configuration. The press-cutting die 472 includes a die roll 474 provided on the surface thereof and having cutting edges corresponding to the configuration of the label 14. The laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration is divided into the label portion 14 and the unnecessary portion 15 by the cut line 15a. Thereafter, a removing roller 480 winds the unnecessary portion 15 of the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration. on the other hand, the labelcontinued. sheet 10 is wound around a roller 482.
1 1 4 1) According to the label-continued sheet 10 thus manufactured, the opening 16 is not f ormed on the release base paper 12, but only on the label 14.
According to the manufacturing apparatuses shown in Fig 7, af ter the opening 16 is formed on the label base paper 14a, the label base paper 14a is shaped into the predetermined conf iguration. The label-continued sheet 10 may be f ormed as f ollows: That is, af ter the label base paper 14a is press-cut into the predetermined configuration, the cut line 16 corresponding to the outline of the opening 16 is formed on the label 14 at the predetermined position thereof. Then, the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a is removed by suction force from the label-base paper 14a by adhering the unnecessary portion 17 to an adhesive layer so as to form the opening 16. This method is described below based on a manufacturing apparatus as shown in Fig. 6.
According to the apparatus, as shown in Fig. 9, a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the release base paper 12. The label base paper 14a is releasably adhered to the release base paper 12 with the adhesive layer 18. Thus, the laminated sheet 11 is formed. Then, the laminated sheet 11 is guided to a press-cutting device 572. The label base paper 14a is press-cut to f orm a cut line 15a corresponding to the conf iguration of the label 14 by means of a die roll 1 imp! 1 574. Thereafter, the unnecessary portion 15 of the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 15a formed thereon is wound around a removing roller 580 through guide rollers 576 and 578. Then, the laminated sheet 11 consisting of the label base paper 14a shaped into the predetermined configuration and the release base paper 12 is guided to a cut line f orming device 554 so that the cut line 16a corresponding to the outline of the opening 16 is f ormed in the label base paper 14a by a die roll 556.
Thereafter, similarly to the examples as shown in Fig 7 and 8, the laminated sheet 11 including the label base paper 14a having the cut line 16a formed thereon is guided to the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a is guided to a sucking box 560 and a removing dev.- ce 558 including a pipe 564 so that the unnecessary portion 17 surrounded with the cut line 16a is stuck by suction force from the label base paper 14a. Thus, the opening 16 is formed. The label-continued sheet 10 thus formed is wound around a winding roller 582.
Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation, the spirit and scope of i the present invention being limited only by the terms of the appended. claims.
