    In the present invention, since the adhesive which is generally marketed for application is applied to the label body and the release paper is cut, the outer peeling area and the inner covering area can be formed. In addition, the information recording area of the paper can be concealed by the release paper, and a concealment label that can be manufactured at low cost has been realized.

Next, the concealment label 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
1 is a plan view of the concealment label 1, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. It has a main body 2 and a release paper 3.

The label body 2 can display arbitrary contents on the front surface, and has an adhesive layer 4 formed on the back surface.
The label main body 2 has, for example, a substantially square or rectangular shape, and a knob portion 5 without the adhesive layer 4 is protruded on one side, and the label main body 2 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 extend from the left and right starting points of the knob portion 5 to the periphery thereof. A perforation 6 is formed so as to penetrate through, and a substantially square or rectangular removal region 7 on the inside and a frame-like pasting region 8 on the outside thereof can be formed using the perforation 6 as a boundary line.
In the removal area 7, if necessary, the usage method of the concealment label 1 can be printed in advance.
For example, “Peel off the surrounding area of the release paper (release paper 3) on the back side (release area 12, which will be described later) and attach it to the part you want to blindfold. To remove the blindfold from the knob part (knob part 5) Cut along the perforation (perforation 6). "However, a separate manual (not shown) may be prepared.

The release paper 3 has a release agent layer 9 on its surface and is temporarily attached to the back surface of the label main body 2 via the adhesive layer 4.
The release paper 3 can continuously form a cut 10 around its periphery, and can form a substantially square or rectangular covering region 11 inside and a frame-like peeling region 12 outside using the cut 10 as a boundary line. It is said.
The notch 10 is formed at the same position as the perforation 6 in the label body 2, and the removal area 7 of the label body 2 and the covering area 11 of the release paper 3 coincide in the upper and lower layers, As will be described later, the removal region 7 can remove the covering region 11. Moreover, the sticking area | region 8 of the label main body 2 and the peeling area | region 12 of the release paper 3 correspond in the upper and lower layers. Of course, the notch 10 and the perforation 6 do not have to coincide exactly.

    FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the release region 12 is removed from the release paper 3 and the label body 2 from the state of FIG. 3 with the notch 10 as a boundary, and the adhesive layer 4 on the upper layer side of the release region 12 is The label main body 2 can be attached to the paper 13 (FIG. 5) together with the covering region 11 of the release paper 3.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of a sheet 13 (for example, a postcard) on which information of a predetermined content is described, and FIG. 6 is a back view of the sheet 13 using the concealment label 1 on the front or back side of the sheet 13. It is possible to conceal the contents that are described or described. In addition to the postcard, the sheet 13 displays any content such as the surface of the article or its slip.
That is, the form 13 is a voting form by a member, for example, in the form of a postcard, and the address and the destination 14 for the committee that compiles the voting are pre-printed on the front side 13A, and the voting side is placed on the back side 13B. For example, an information description area 15 is provided in which a member exercising the right displays an intention of “agree” or “opposite” and also signs and seals the intention.
As an example of use, the concealment label 1 is sent to the member together with the paper 13 and other necessary documents. After the member performs the necessary description and seal in the information description area 15, the concealment label 1 is used. The information description area 15 is concealed by the label 1, and a postcard (paper 13) is mailed to the committee.

That is, the concealment label 1 can conceal the information description area 15 of the paper 13 having the information description area 15, and the label body 2 has a larger area than the information description area 15 and can cover it.
Further, the release paper 3 is formed with a cut area 10 that covers the information description area 15. That is, the notch 10 is formed so that the release paper 3 (peeling region 12) located outside thereof can be peeled from the label main body 2 and the adhesive layer 4 can be exposed so as to surround the information describing region 15.
In addition, the label body 2 is formed with a perforation 6 in a removal area 7 from which the covering area 11 can be removed.

A procedure for concealing the information description area 15 of the paper 13 using the concealment label 1 having such a configuration will be described.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the state in which the concealment label 1 is affixed to the information description area 15 of the paper 13, and FIG. It is a top view of the state which removed.
First, as shown in FIG. 4, the release region 12 of the release paper 3 is peeled off from the cut portion 10, and the adhesive layer 4 is exposed while leaving the coating region 11 at the center, as shown in FIG. 7. As described above, the concealment label 1 is attached so as to conceal the information description area 15 of the paper 13.
In this affixed state, the information description area 15 cannot be seen from the outside, and since the covering area 11 of the release paper 3 is also laminated in addition to the label body 2, the light shielding function is difficult to transmit light. It is enough.

    For the paper 13 that has been mailed with the concealment label 1 attached, the committee will hold the label body 2 and the attachment so that the grip portion 5 of the label body 2 is picked and cut along the perforation 6. By peeling off the attached release paper 3 (covered area 11), the information describing area 15 of the paper 13 can be visually recognized.

Thus, the information description area 15 can be concealed by a simple operation by simply peeling off the peeling area 11 of the release paper 3 from the label main body 2 and attaching it.
Further, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 itself of the label main body 2 only needs to have a general pressure-sensitive adhesive force and does not need to be a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a special function. The concealment label 1 can be manufactured at a very low cost.

The form of the notch 10 and the perforation 6 in the release paper 3 or the exposed form of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 in the present invention is arbitrary.
For example, FIG. 9 is a back view showing the exposed pattern of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 of the concealment label 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the release paper 3 side. The central adhesive layer 23 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 can be formed by providing a central protruding cut 22 in the central portion of the release paper 3 as well as a continuous state of the cut 21 to the periphery. The perforations to the label body 2 are similarly formed in the same pattern as the notches 21 and 23. The same applies to the following embodiments.

    Also with the concealment label 20 having such a configuration, the information description area 15 of the paper 13 can be concealed and the center of the covering area 11 can be concealed, as in the concealment label 1 (first embodiment, FIG. 1). Since the central pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 23 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is exposed and formed on the portion, the ability to attach the concealment label 20 to the paper 13 can be improved.

    FIG. 10 is a rear view showing the exposed pattern of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 of the concealment label 30 according to the third embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the release paper 3 side. Forms this intermittently around the release paper 3 at a plurality of locations.

    Also in the concealment label 30 having such a configuration, the information description area 15 of the paper 13 can be concealed and the remaining state (exposed pattern) of the adhesive layer 4 is complicated as in the concealment labels 1 and 20. The operation of removing the label body 2 (removal area 7) and the covering area 11 of the release paper 3 by pinching the knob portion 5 is somewhat troublesome, and it is possible to prevent an unauthorized peeping of the information description area 15 by a third party.

    FIG. 11 is a rear view showing the exposed pattern of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 of the concealment label 40 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention when viewed from the release paper 3 side. Forms at least four corners of the release paper 3.

    Also in the concealment label 40 having such a configuration, the information description area 15 of the paper 13 can be concealed as in the concealment labels 1, 20, and 30, and the adhesive layers 4 are formed at the four corners of the label body 2. Therefore, the operation of pasting on the paper 13 is easy.

In the above, an example in which the concealment label according to the present invention is affixed to a sheet 13 such as a postcard has been described. However, the object to which the concealment label is affixed is any sheet, document, or article, and depending on these sheets or articles The shape and cut of the concealment label and the form of perforations can be arbitrarily designed.

It is a top view of the label 1 for concealment by the 1st Example of this invention. It is the II-II sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is the III-III sectional view taken on the line of FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the peeling region 12 is removed from the release paper 3 and the label body 2 from the state of FIG. It is a top view of the paper 13 (for example, postcard) on which the information of predetermined content is described similarly. FIG. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a state where the concealment label 1 is attached to the information description area 15 of the paper 13. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a state in which the covering region 11 of the release paper 3 is removed together with the removal region 7 of the label body 2 at the perforation 6. It is the reverse view seen from the release paper 3 side which shows the exposure pattern of the adhesive layer 4 of the label 20 for concealment by the 2nd Example of this invention. It is the reverse view seen from the release paper 3 side which shows the exposure pattern of the adhesive layer 4 of the label 30 for concealment by the 3rd Example of this invention. It is the reverse view seen from the release paper 3 side which shows the exposure pattern of the adhesive layer 4 of the label 40 for concealment by the 4th Example of this invention.
