Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable automatic peeling-off of ultra-thin printer labels, which are not firm enough for certain equipment to automatically peel them off from a base sheet. SOLUTION: A label sheet is constituted of a base sheet 12 formed of a central paper 15 and side papers 16, 17, on which labels 11 are stuck. The side papers 16, 17 of the label paper are transported to a first guide shaft 26 provided in the vicinity of a sheet discharge outlet of a printer 21 so as to be rolled up, while the central paper 15 is moved to a second guide shaft 27 for the central paper 15 and the side papers 16, 17 to be separated, thereby causing the labels 11 to be separated from the side papers 16, 17 and to be left on the central paper 15.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label peeling method,
The present invention relates to a label peeling device and label paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a view showing a conventional label peeling method. When peeling a thin print-printed label 1 having a thickness of about 25 μm from a backing paper 2, the elastic force of the label 1 is used.

That is, when the backing paper 2 is brought into contact with the frame 3 of the printer and bent at an acute angle, the label 1 returns as indicated by an arrow A by elastic force, and the label 1 peels off from the backing paper 2.

[0004]

However, the thickness 2
Printer labels as thin as 5 μm are stiff, and it has not been possible with the conventional method to automatically peel the printer label off the backing paper by the device.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a side sheet of a label sheet in which a label is attached to a base sheet on which a center sheet and side sheets are formed, in the vicinity of a sheet discharge port of the apparatus. The label is transported to the first guide shaft and wound up, the central paper is transported to a second guide shaft provided outside the first guide shaft, and the central paper and the side paper are separated from each other, whereby the labels are separated. The paper was peeled off from the side paper and remained on the central paper.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of a label sheet.

In FIG. 2, a large number of labels 11 are attached to a mount 12 at a constant pitch. Cuts 13 and 14 are formed in the backing sheet 12 so that the center sheet 15 is formed.
And side papers 16 and 17 are formed.

In the example shown in the figure, labels 11a, 11a
The side papers 16 and 17 are formed on both sides of the center paper 15 because of the three-sheet type of b and 11c. The side paper 17 alone may be used. In that case, the central paper 1
5 is the size including the side paper 16.

The label paper is set on an apparatus, for example, the printer 21 shown in FIG.

A frame 23 and a frame 24 of a label peeling device are clamped and fixed to a printer frame 22 at a paper discharge port of the printer 21 by screws 25.

The frames 23 and 24 are filled with a first guide shaft 26, and the frame 23 is provided with a second guide shaft 2 at a position outside the first guide shaft 26.
7 are filled.

The second guide shaft 27 has a length up to the central paper 15, and a recess 28 is formed in a portion near the frame 23.

The label peeling device is configured to include the frames 23, 24, the first guide shaft 26, and the second guide shaft 27 as described above.

In operation, after the label 11 is printed by the printer 21, the label 11 is transferred to a backing sheet to which the label 11 is attached by a label feed roller (not shown) in the printer 21.

When the backing paper 12 is transferred to the first guide shaft 26, the side papers 16 and 17 are automatically separated from the center paper 15 and the side papers 16 and 17 are automatically removed with the label 11 automatically peeled off. Reference numeral 17 is taken up by a take-up reel (not shown) in the printer 21.

At this time, the ends of the side papers 16 and 17 are attached to, for example, a cellophane tape and connected to the backing paper that has already been wound on the take-up reel, thereby forming arrows B and C.
It can be transported in the direction and wound up smoothly.

The central paper 15 is transported to the second guide shaft 27 outside the first guide shaft 26 while the label 11 is adhered, and comes out in front of the operator.

At this time, the label 11 is printed on the side papers 16 and 17.
Is peeled off and remains on the central paper 15 in a state where it can be easily removed.

The operator can pinch the label 11 in an easy-to-take state with a finger or the like, peel off the label from the central paper 15, and attach it to necessary places such as various devices and materials.

The remaining central paper 15 may be cut off and discarded by an operator as appropriate.

The length of the second guide shaft 27 is the length up to the central paper 15, and the length of the
Is provided to prevent the adhesive portion of the label 11 peeled from the side papers 16 and 17 from adhering to the second guide shaft 27.

Therefore, the length of the second guide shaft 27 may be increased similarly to the first guide shaft 26, and a recess may be provided on the frame 24 side.

In the case of a single label, the concave portion 2
The second guide shaft 27 may be made longer by providing the concave portion without providing the concave portion 8.

In short, if the adhesive portion of the label 11 from which the side paper has been removed does not adhere to the second guide shaft 27 and does not hinder the transfer of the central paper 15 with the label 11 remaining, Any means is acceptable.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the very thin label 11 can be automatically peeled off from the side papers 16 and 17 by separating the central paper 15 and the side papers 16 and 17. As a result, the efficiency of the labeling operation is improved.

Further, the label peeling device is composed of frames 23, 2
4. Since it is composed of the first guide shaft 26 and the second guide shaft 27, it can be easily set in a normal label printer.

In addition, since a device, for example, a label feeding mechanism of a label printer is used for feeding the mount 12, the label peeling device can be constituted only by a simple mechanism.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, even a very thin label can be automatically peeled off by separating the central paper and the side paper.
