DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a label continuous body, and more particularly to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a label continuous body in which label pieces are temporarily attached to a band-shaped backing sheet at a constant interval.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A label continuum is one in which label pieces are temporarily attached to a band-shaped backing paper at regular intervals, and conventionally, it has been manufactured as follows. First, a composite label base paper on which a band label, which is a raw material of a label piece, is temporarily attached is prepared on a band mount. Next, label strips of a predetermined shape are die-cut at regular intervals on the strip label of the composite label base paper. Then, the unnecessary residue around the cut label piece is peeled off from the band-shaped backing paper. As a result, a label continuum in which label pieces are temporarily attached to the band-shaped backing paper at regular intervals is manufactured.

[0003]

However, the conventional method of manufacturing a continuous label body has a problem in that it is difficult to adjust the depth of the die using a die blade. That is, if the die-cutting depth is too shallow, there is a problem that the label piece and the scum part are not separated well at the time of slag removal, so that the label piece is peeled off from the belt-shaped label. On the other hand, if the die-cutting depth is too deep, not only is the band-shaped backing scratched, but also the glue of the glue layer formed on the back surface of the band-shaped label cuts into the inside of the band-shaped backing. Thereby, since the periphery of the label piece is held by the glue that has cut into the band-shaped backing sheet, there is a problem that the label piece becomes difficult to peel off from the band-shaped backing sheet. As a result, when the label piece is automatically applied by the automatic label applying apparatus, the label piece is less likely to be peeled off from the band-shaped backing sheet, resulting in poor peeling or poor adhesion.

[0004] For this reason, there is a method called peel end as a countermeasure against peeling failure and sticking failure in the automatic label sticking apparatus. This method is a method in which the die-cut label piece is once peeled off from the band-shaped backing sheet, and the label piece is re-attached to the band-shaped backing sheet position shifted from the die-cutting position. This method, even if the die-cutting depth is too deep,
Since the periphery of the label piece is no longer held by the glue, the label piece has an advantage of being easily peeled from the band-shaped backing sheet. However, when the pitch between the label pieces is short, 50
There is a drawback that it cannot be applied to the case of a thin band label of μm or less.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to manufacture a label continuous body in which a label piece can be easily peeled off from a band-shaped backing sheet, and furthermore, a pitch between label pieces and a label label. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for producing a continuous label body that can be applied regardless of the thickness.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for producing a continuous label body in which label pieces are temporarily attached to a band-shaped backing sheet at regular intervals. The label is cut into the shape of the label piece while leaving a part of the non-die cut portion on the strip label, and after the die strip is attached to the strip base, the non-die cut portion is die-cut. The method is characterized in that unnecessary label portions around the die-cut label pieces are peeled off from the band-shaped backing paper.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for manufacturing a continuous label body in which label pieces are temporarily attached to a belt-shaped backing sheet at regular intervals. Conveying means, and a second conveying means for conveying the band-shaped backing sheet in synchronization with the band-shaped label, and punching out the label piece into a predetermined shape while leaving a part of the non-die-cut portion on the conveyed band-shaped label. First die-cutting means,
A laminating unit for laminating the conveyed band-shaped mount onto the band label after the die-cutting by the first die-cutting unit; A second die-cutting means;
And scrap removing means for peeling off unnecessary scrap portions around the cut label piece of the strip-shaped label after the stripping by the stamping means.

According to the present invention, the band label is die-cut into the shape of a label piece while leaving a part of the non-die-cut portion in a state in which the band label is not pasted on the band-shaped backing sheet. There is no scratch by the blade. In addition, since the label is cut into the shape of the label piece while leaving a part of the non-die cut part, the label piece does not fall off from the strip label. Next, the band-shaped label and the band-shaped backing sheet are attached to each other, and then the non-die-cut portion is die-cut. When removing the non-die-cut part,
Even in the case where the die-cutting depth is too deep and the glue bites into the inside of the band-shaped backing sheet, the glue bites only in the non-die-cut portion, so that the label piece does not become difficult to peel off from the band-shaped backing sheet.

The band-shaped backing sheet 26 is conveyed by being wound on the product take-up reel 22, and the band-shaped label 28, which is the original of the label piece A, is conveyed by being wound on the slag take-up reel 24. Then, the composite label base paper supply reel 12, the first stamping die 16, the second stamping die 18,
The product take-up reel 22 and the slag take-up reel 24 are driven and rotated by motors (not shown), respectively, and these motors are controlled by a control device (not shown) and driven synchronously.

The composite label base paper supply reel 12 is wound with a roll-shaped composite label base sheet 30 in which a band-shaped label 28 is temporarily attached to a band-shaped backing sheet 26. Composite label base paper 30
Is a temporary attachment of a band-shaped label 28 having a glue layer formed on the back side (band-shaped backing sheet side) to a band-shaped backing sheet 26 having a release layer made of silicon or the like formed on the surface. Composite label base paper 30 fed from composite label base paper supply reel 12
After the respective parts of the peeling / bonding roll device 14, the first die die 16, the second die die 18, and the slag roll device 20 are conveyed, the label continuous body 32 as a product is wound up. It is wound on a reel 22. On the other hand, the slag portion of the band-shaped label is wound on the slag winding reel 24.

The peeling / bonding roll device 14 is provided with a first
The three rollers of the roller 14A, the second roller 14B, and the third roller 14C are arranged so as to be located at the vertices of a triangle. Then, the band-shaped backing sheet 26 of the composite label base paper 30 is turned on the first roller 14A and is conveyed on the path extending to the third roller 14C via the second roller 14B, and the band-shaped label 28 is transferred to the first roller 14A. Is transported along a path directly from the third roller 14C to the third roller 14C. As a result, the band label 28 and the band mount 26 are positioned at the position of the first roller 14A.
Is once peeled off, the band-shaped label 28 and the band-shaped backing sheet 26 are bonded again at the position of the third roller 14C.
In the present embodiment, the band-shaped label 28
Will be described with reference to an example of a composite label having a temporary attachment.
And the strip-shaped label 28 may be wound on separate supply rolls, and in this case, a peeling step of peeling / bonding is not required.

The first die 16 comprises a first die roller 34 and a first support roller 36 for supporting the belt-shaped label 28 between the first die roller 34 and a first roller 14A and a third roller. It is arranged on the transport path of the band label 28 between 14C. A punching die blade 38 is integrally formed on the surface of the first die roller 34.
As shown in FIG. 2, the bladeless portion 38A having no blade
Are formed. Thereby, when the strip-shaped label 28 to which the cutting die blade 38 of the first die roller 34 is conveyed is die-cut, as shown in FIG. 3A, the strip-shaped label 28 partially has a non-die-cut portion 40. Label piece A of predetermined shape
Are stamped one after another.

The second die 18 includes a second die roller 42 and a second support roller 44 for supporting the band-shaped backing sheet 26 and the band-shaped label 28 that have been pasted together between the second die roller 42. And is disposed downstream of the third roller 14C. In addition, on the surface of the second die roller 42, a non-die-cutting part cutting die blade 46 corresponding to the above-mentioned non-die-cut part 40 of the label piece A is integrally formed. The distance between the first die 16 and the second die 18 is determined by the die blade 46 for the non-die-cut portion of the second die 18. It is set so that it can be removed. As a result, the non-die-cutting portion cutting blade 46 of the second die roller 42 cuts out the non-die-cutting portion 40 of the band-shaped label 28 one after another, so that the entire label piece A becomes as shown in FIG. It is die-cut.

The slag removing roll device 20 includes a pair of rolls 4 for holding the band-shaped label 28 and the band-shaped backing sheet 26 bonded together.
8, 48, the band-shaped backing sheet 26 on the downstream side of the slag removing device 20 is wound on the product winding reel 22,
Unnecessary scum 28A around the label piece A die-cut by the first and second die-cutting dies 16 and 18 is removed from the slag take-up reel 24.
It is wound up.

Next, the operation of the continuous label manufacturing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

The composite label 30 fed from the composite label base paper supply reel 12 is peeled off at the position of the first roller 14A into a band-shaped backing sheet 26 and a band-shaped label 28. The strip-shaped label 28 peeled from the strip-shaped backing sheet 26 is die-cut into the shape of the label piece A by the first die 16 except for a part of the non-die-cut portion 40. Thereby, the strip-shaped label 2
Since the die 8 is cut out without being bonded to the band-shaped backing sheet 26, the band-shaped backing sheet 26 is not scratched by the cutting die 38. Moreover, since the label is cut into the shape of the label piece A while leaving a part of the non-die-cut portion 40, the label piece A does not fall off the strip label 28 during the transport of the strip label 28. In this case, it is preferable that the non-die-cut portion 40 is formed on the downstream side in the transport direction of the belt-shaped label 28 in the die-cut portion of the entire label piece A. As a result, the label piece A does not turn over from the belt-shaped label 28.

Next, the strip-shaped label 28, which has been stamped by the first stamping die 16, is re-attached to the strip-shaped backing sheet 26 once peeled off at the position of the third roller 14C. By means of 18, the non-die-cut portion 40 that has not been die-cut with the first die 16 is die-cut. Thus, the entire label piece A is die-cut. When the non-die-cutting portion 40 is die-cut with the second die-die 18, even if the die-cutting depth is too deep and the glue bites into the inside of the band-shaped backing sheet 26, the glue does not enter the non-die-cut portion 40. Only
The label piece A does not become difficult to peel off from the band-shaped backing sheet 26.

Finally, at the position of the slag removing roll device 20, a slag portion 28A, which is an unnecessary band-like label 28 around the label piece A,
Is peeled off from the band-shaped backing paper 26.

As a result, a label continuous body 32 in which only the label pieces A are temporarily attached to the surface of the band-shaped backing sheet 26 at regular intervals is manufactured.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a label continuous body 32 from which the label piece A can be easily peeled off from the band-shaped backing sheet 26 without performing the peel end method. In this case, automatic labeling failure in which the label piece A is not separated from the band-shaped backing sheet 26 does not occur. Moreover, unlike the peel end method, the method for producing a continuous label body according to the present invention can be applied irrespective of the pitch between the label pieces A and the thickness of the strip label 28.
