And when the thickness of a tag tape changes, the influence which the change of the thickness of the tape has on the whole roll is smaller than the case where the curvature of a tag tape is small.

  At this time, in the wireless tag supply device according to the sixteenth aspect of the present invention, the antenna base material is supplied between the first tape and the second tape so that the IC circuit portion protrudes from the second tape side. As a result, the tag tape bonded with the first tape and the second tape is wound around the axis so that the second tape is on the outer peripheral side (in other words, the first tape is on the inner peripheral side). When the tag tape roll is generated, the IC circuit portion can be disposed so as to protrude from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base in the winding direction of the tag tape. Thereby, an IC circuit part can be arrange | positioned to the roll outer-diameter side with a comparatively small curvature, As a result, the influence of the change of the tape thickness by the thickness of an IC circuit part can be made small.

As a result, the tag tape bonded with the first tape and the second tape is wound around the axis so that the second tape is on the outer peripheral side (in other words, the first tape is on the inner peripheral side). When the tag tape roll is generated, the IC circuit portion can be arranged so as to protrude from the inner peripheral side in the winding direction of the antenna substrate in the tag tape. As a result, an extra circumferential length for covering the thickness of the IC circuit portion is required on the inner side in the radial direction of the tag tape, and the occurrence of loosening on the inner side in the radial direction can be prevented. Therefore, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles during roll winding can be obtained also by this.

Has a stretchable layer made of a stretchable material. Thereby, when the tag tape having the multilayer structure is wound as a roll, even if a difference in circumferential length between the radially outer side and the radially inner side occurs due to the curvature of the roll, the stretchability of the stretchable material is used. By extending the radially outer portion or shortening the radially inner portion, the difference in circumferential length can be absorbed. As a result, wrinkles can be prevented from occurring in the tag tape due to the difference in circumference, so that the effect of preventing wrinkles can be further enhanced.

  As a result, printing can be performed on the layer to be printed, so that a wireless tag label with printing can be created without separately attaching a print-receiving tape for print formation, and the thickness of the tag tape can be reduced. Therefore, this also has the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles.

  As shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 1, the second tape 200A has a two-layer structure in this example, and is on the opposite side (enlarged) from the side wound inside the second tape roll 211 (upper side in the enlarged view). Toward the lower side in the figure, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac (adhesive layer for sticking, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for antenna substrate) made of an appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a separator layer 200Ad (details will be described later) made of a stretchable material The release material layer and the stretchable layer are laminated in this order.

  As shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 1, the first tape 200B has a four-layer structure in this example, and is on the opposite side (upper side in the enlarged view) from the side wound inside (lower side in the enlarged view).

The separator layer 200Bd is finally wound around the reel member 217a and collected as a separator roll 217.

  Each of the air cylinders 262A to 262 includes a piston 262a and a cylinder body 262b, and the piston 262a included in the cylinder body 262b is advanced and retracted by the working gas supplied from the electropneumatic regulators 265A to 265D, respectively. As a result, the tension arms 267A to 267D connected to the piston 262a are rotated around the rotation fulcrum, thereby changing the positions of the dancer rollers 221, 222, 223, and 224, and the tension of the tapes 200A, 210, 200B, and 209. Is to control.

  As the advance / retreat actuator, a direct drive using electromagnetic force of a solenoid instead of the air cylinder 262, an electric motor (various motors including a linear motor or a pulse motor), or the like may be used.

  The controller 230 is a so-called microcomputer, and although not shown in detail, the controller 230 includes a central processing unit such as a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and is stored in advance in the ROM while using a temporary storage function of the RAM. Signal processing is performed according to the program.

  In the above configuration, the second tape 200A is fed from the second tape roll 211 mainly by the transport driving force of the transport rollers 219A and 219B, and is supplied to the bonding rollers 225A and 225B through the dancer roller 221. Similarly, the first tape 200B fed from the first tape roll 213 is also supplied to the bonding rollers 225A and 225B through the dancer roller 223 and the roller 273. The second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are positioned upstream of the bonding position where the second and second tapes 200A and 225B are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and are supported and flattened by the tape holding member 274. In the first tape attachment portion 200B1, the RFID tag Tg is sequentially attached to the first tape 200B by the tag inserter 226. Thereafter, the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B to which the wireless tag Tg is attached are bonded together by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. The tag attachment is a so-called intermittent conveyance drive system in which the conveyance drive of the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B is stopped and inserted when a predetermined insertion location (for example, equidistant arrangement) is reached ( The positioning at this time is controlled according to the detection signal of the sensor 228. Details will be described later.

  The tape thus bonded and further inserted with the tag is the separator 209 made of the separator layer 200Bd provided in the first tape 200B in the rollers 240A and 240B located on the downstream side of the transport rollers 219A and 219B, It is separated into a base tape 210 comprising other parts. The base tape 210 is wound around the reel member 215a and is cut by the cutter 227 when it reaches a predetermined length. At this time, an end mark is provided on the base tape 210 with the laser marker 271 upstream of the cutting position by the cutter 227 in the tape transport direction. On the other hand, the separator 209 is wound and collected by the reel member 217a. As a result, the base tape 210 on which a plurality of RFID circuit elements To are sequentially formed in the longitudinal direction at predetermined equal intervals is wound around the reel member 215a, and the base tape roll 215 is produced.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual side view showing how the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded together with the wireless tag Tg interposed therebetween as described above. In FIG. 2, a wireless tag Tg includes a substantially sheet-like antenna base (antenna pattern sheet) 160 and a tag-side antenna that is provided on the back side (lower side in FIG. 2) of the antenna base 160 and transmits and receives information. 152 and an IC chip holding member 161 provided with an IC circuit unit 151 (not shown) for storing information in an rewritable manner so as to be connected to the tag side antenna 152. The tag-side antenna 152 and the IC circuit unit 151 constitute a RFID circuit element To.

  In the base tape 210, after the wireless tag Tg is inserted between the second tape 200A having the two-layer structure and the first tape 200B having the four-layer structure, the separator layer 200Bd is formed of the reel member 217a as described above. In this example, it is wound up and removed to form an eight-layer structure (see the lower figure again, see also the enlarged view in FIG. 1). That is, from the side wound on the outer side of the reel member 215a (upper side in FIG. 2) to the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 2), the separator layer 200Ad made of the stretchable material, the adhesive layer 200Ac, and the antenna substrate 160, a tag-side antenna 152, an IC chip holding member 161, an adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base material layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, and an adhesive layer 200Bc.

  2 and 1, the wireless tag Tg is sandwiched from both sides by the adhesive layer 200Ac of the second tape 200A and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B, but only one adhesive layer is used as the other. May be omitted and a seven-layer structure may be adopted. Moreover, it is not necessary to use both the separator layer 200Ad and the tape base material layer 200Ab as a stretchable material, and any one of them may be a stretchable material.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control procedure executed by the controller 230.

  In FIG. 3, first, in step S501, it is determined whether or not the winding work of the base tape 210 around the reel member 215a is completed. This determination is performed, for example, by determining whether or not an operator who has completed the winding operation has input an operation signal indicating that the winding operation has been completed via an operating unit (not shown). If the winding operation is completed, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to the next Step S505.

  In step S505, tape driving is started in response to an operation signal for starting the production of a base tape input via an operating means (not shown). That is, a control signal is output to the transport roller driving circuit 235, and the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are driven out from the second tape roll 211 and the first tape roll 213 by the driving force of the transport roller shaft drive motor 220. At the same time, control signals are also output to the second and first tape drive circuits 231, 232, the base tape drive circuit 233, and the separator drive circuit 234, and the second and first tape shaft drive motors 212, 214 The substrate tape shaft drive motor 216 and the separator shaft drive motor 218 are also driven. As a result, the second tape 200A is fed out from the second tape roll 211 and the first tape 200B is fed out from the first tape roll 213, and is bonded and integrated by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. It is conveyed to the 219B side.

  Although not particularly described in this flow, when the tape drive is started in step S505, the second and first tape shaft drive motors 212 and 214, the base tape shaft drive motor 216, and the separator shaft are used. While controlling the motor speed of the drive motor 218, the tension arms 267A-D are rotated by the air cylinders 262A-D, and each of the tapes at the time of tape conveyance calculated from the angles of the tension arms 267A-D detected by the angle sensors 268A-D is used. Tension control (hereinafter referred to as “drive tape tension control” as appropriate) is performed so that the tension of the tapes 200A, 200B, 209, and 210 has an appropriate value. This tape tension control during driving is always performed during tape driving.

  In the next step S510, it is determined whether or not the base tape 210 being wound by the reel member 215a has reached a predetermined winding end position. Specifically, the determination is made based on whether or not the number of wireless tags Tg attached in the base tape 210 has reached a predetermined number. For example, the determination is made based on whether or not 40 wireless tags Tg are attached. Immediately after the start of normal winding, this determination is not satisfied, and the routine goes to the next Step S515.

  In step S515, it is determined whether or not the tape conveyed as described above has reached a predetermined position where the wireless tag Tg is to be inserted. The determination at this time may be made based on the detection result by the photo sensor 228 of a mark (not shown) provided at a predetermined location on the surface of the separator layer 200Ad of the second tape 200A described above, for example, at an equal pitch. If the determination is satisfied, the process moves to step S520.

  In step S520, the control signal is output again to the transport roller drive circuit 235, the drive of the transport roller shaft drive motor 220 is stopped, and the second tape 200A and the first tape from the second tape roll 211 and the first tape roll 213 are stopped. The feeding drive of 200B is stopped. At this time, the second and first tape shaft drive motors 212 and 214, the base tape shaft drive motor 216, and the separator shaft drive motor 218 are automatically stopped by the tape tension control during driving.

  Although not specifically described in this flow, when stopping the tape drive in step S520, in order to prevent the tape from being displaced when the tape drive is stopped in this way. , Tension control (hereinafter referred to as “stop” as appropriate) so that the sum of the tensions of the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B on the supply side is substantially equal to the sum of the tensions of the base tape 210 and the separator 209 on the winding side. (It is described as “tape tension control”).

  In the next step S525, the tag characteristic value (tag sensitivity information, etc.) of the RFID circuit element To provided in the RFID tag Tg attached by the tag inserter 226 obtained by the tag checker 270 is input.

  In the next step S530, it is determined whether or not the tag characteristic value input in step S525 is within a predetermined normal range value. If the tag characteristic value is not within the normal range value, the determination is not satisfied and the routine goes to Step S535, where a control signal is output to the tag inserter 226, and the RFID circuit element To determined to be abnormal is provided. Preparation for mounting the next wireless tag Tg after the wireless tag Tg is performed. Then, the process proceeds to the previous step S525. Note that the wireless tag Tg determined to be not normal is automatically ejected to the outside of the tag inserter 226 (or by the operation of the operator) and is not attached to the first tape 200B. On the other hand, if the tag characteristic value is within a predetermined normal range value, the determination is satisfied and the routine goes to the next Step S540.

  In step S540, in the state where the tape drive is stopped at the predetermined tag insertion position as described above, a control signal is output to the tag inserter 226, and the RFID circuit element including the IC circuit unit 151 and the tag-side antenna 152 described above. The wireless tag Tg having To is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B. At this time, if the tag is normal as described above, the wireless tag Tg is not automatically inserted, but a display for confirming whether or not to insert is displayed and an instruction input corresponding to this is displayed. The wireless tag Tg may be inserted only when it is made by a person. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S545, and similarly to step S505, a control signal is output to the conveyance roller drive circuit 235, and the conveyance drive of the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B is resumed by the driving force of the conveyance roller shaft drive motor 220.

  In this case as well, in the same manner as in step S505, the driving tape tension control is performed to adjust the tension of each of the tapes 200A, 200B, 209, 210 during the tape transport.

  In the next step S550, it is determined whether or not the number of RFID tags Tg attached by the tag inserter 226 is N or more. The number of RFID tags Tg attached may be counted, for example, by counting the number of times of output of the control signal output to the tag inserter 226 in step S540, or each time the RFID tag Tg is attached. The attachment signal may be input from and integrated. N is the number of wireless tags Tg provided in one roll of the base tape roll to be manufactured, and is set to about 40, for example. If the number of attached wireless tags Tg is less than N, the determination is not satisfied and the process returns to step S510. On the other hand, if the number of RFID tags Tg attached is N or more, the determination is satisfied, and the routine goes to the next Step S555.

  In step S555, it is determined whether or not a margin of an appropriate length (here, a portion where the wireless tag Tg is not inserted) is provided on the base tape 210. Specifically, a control signal is output to the tag inserter 226 to stop the attachment of the wireless tag Tg, and the above steps S515, S520, and S545 are repeated an appropriate number of times, so that an appropriate number of wireless tag Tg attachments are obtained. It is determined whether a margin is formed. In addition, as the length of the margin, for example, the length for attaching three RFID tags Tg is set. If a margin is formed, the determination is satisfied and the routine returns to the previous step S510.

  Steps S <b> 510 to S <b> 550 are repeated as described above, N wireless tags Tg are attached, a blank is formed in step S <b> 555, and the wireless tape in the base tape roll 215 wound by the reel member 215 a is formed. When the number of attached tags Tg reaches the predetermined number, the determination in the previous step S510 is satisfied, and the process proceeds to the next step S565.

  In step S565, as in step S520, the control signal is output again to the transport roller drive circuit 235, the drive of the transport roller shaft drive motor 220 is stopped, and the second tape roll 211 and the second tape roll 213 receive the second signal. The feeding drive of the tape 200A and the first tape 200B is stopped. At this time, as in step S520, the tension of the base tape 210 and the separator 209 on the winding side is the tension of the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B on the supply side when the tape drive is stopped. The tension control during stop is performed so that

  In the next step S570, a control signal is output to the solenoid drive circuit 237 to drive the solenoid 236, and the base tape 210 is cut (divided) using the cutter 227. Thereby, the roll around which the base tape 210 having a predetermined length is wound is completed. The cutting position by the cutter 227 is, for example, the case where a margin of a length corresponding to three wireless tag Tg attachments is provided in the previous step S555, and the length of one wireless tag attachment among the margins. The margin is cut out so that a margin with a length equivalent to the attachment of two wireless tags remains after cutting.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S575, where a control signal is output to the laser drive circuit 272 to oscillate the laser from the laser marker 271. By this laser, the cutting position of the separator 200Ad of the base tape 210 by the cutter 227 is upstream in the tape transport direction. Is provided with an end mark (not shown). This end mark is provided in the margin of the length corresponding to the attachment of the two wireless tags left after the above-described cutting. Then, the process returns to step S501.

  Although not specifically described above, normally, when starting the manufacturing work of the base tape roll for the first time, the base tape 210 of the base tape 210 by the reel member 215a is started from the attachment position of the wireless tag Tg by the tag inserter 226. There is a blank portion (for example, the length of about 10 RFID tags Tg attached) where the RFID tag Tg is not attached up to the winding position. With respect to this blank portion, when the position where the blank portion ends (slightly downstream position in the tape transport direction at the position where the wireless tag Tg is first attached) comes to the cutter 227, the blank portion is cut by the cutter 227. It is to be excised. Thereafter, when the base tape 210 from which the blank portion has been cut is wound around the reel member 215a, the determination in step S501 is satisfied, and the manufacture of the base tape roll is started by the procedure after step S505.

  Note that the above flow does not limit the present invention to the procedure shown in the above flow. For example, the order of the steps S570 and S575 is reversed, and the procedure is not deviated from the spirit and technical idea of the invention. It may be changed.

  Next, the function and effect of this embodiment will be described below.

  In the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment having the above configuration, when the base tape 210 is manufactured, the second tape 200A is unwound from the second tape roll 211 and bonded together mainly by the transport driving force of the transport rollers 219A and 219B. Supplied to rollers 225A and 225B. Similarly, the first tape 200B fed out from the first tape roll 213 is also supplied to the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. Each time the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are conveyed by a predetermined amount, the conveyance is temporarily stopped, and on the upstream side where the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. The wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B by the tag inserter 226. After the attachment, the conveyance is started again. The RFID tag Tg is inserted at predetermined intervals by performing intermittent conveyance driving that repeats such tape conveyance and stoppage. Then, the tape having such a multi-layer structure is transported further downstream than the transport rollers 219A and 219B, the separators 209 are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B, and the base tape 210 composed of the other portions is used as the reel member 215a. Rolled up. In this way, the base tape roll 215 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined regular intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is manufactured.

  Here, when the base tape 210 is wound in a roll shape in this way, the circumferential length on one side (for example, the radially outer side) and the other side (for example, the radially inner side) of the tape in the thickness direction due to the curvature of the roll And a wrinkle may occur in the base tape 210 due to the difference in circumference. Such “wrinkles” not only detract from the aesthetics of the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215, but the “wrinkles” are formed by the wireless tag Tg (specifically, the tag-side antenna 152 and the IC circuit unit 151). There is a risk that the RFID tag Tg may be damaged by applying unnecessary stress to the RFID circuit element To).

  In the present embodiment, as described above, at least one of the separator layer 200Ad and the tape base layer 200Bb included in the base tape 210 is made of an elastic material, thereby preventing wrinkles and solving the above-described problems. can do. This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the base tape 210 is wound around the reel member 215a. At this time, t in the figure represents the thickness (distance) of the layer composed of the wireless tag Tg and the adhesive layer (the adhesive layer 200Ac and the adhesive layer 200Ba). R ₁ is the thickness (distance) from the center 215b of the reel member 215a to the second tape 200A (specifically, separator layer 200Ad), and R ₂ is the first tape 200B (specifically from the center 215b of the reel member 215a). Represents the thickness (distance) up to the tape base material layer 200Bb).

Thus, when the base tape 210 is wound in a roll shape, the outer side in the radial direction (in this case, the second tape 200A) and the inner side in the radial direction (in this case, the first tape 200B) depending on the curvature (degree of bending) of the roll. There is a difference in circumference. Specifically, when the base tape 210 is wound around the reel member 215a, the second tape 200A is wound at a length of 2πR ₁ , and the first tape 200B is wound at a length of 2π (R ₁ -t). become. For this reason, the length (peripheral length) on the first tape 200B side is shorter than the length (peripheral length) on the second tape 200A side (in this case, the frequency division length is shortened by 2πt), and the reel member 215a is rolled. When it is wound into a shape, wrinkles are generated on the first tape 200B side, which is the inner peripheral side.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, at least one of the second tape 200A (specifically, the separator layer 200Ad) and the first tape 200B (specifically, the tape base layer 200Bb) is an elastic layer made of an elastic material. It is set as the structure which has. Such stretchable materials include polyurethane film, latex film, CPP (unstretched polypropylene), polyolefin, PE (polyethylene), polyamide, soft polyester, PLA (polylactic acid film), silicone resin, or a substantially mesh-like shape. The film etc. which were made can be used. Thereby, even if a difference in circumferential length between the radially outer side and the radially inner side occurs due to the curvature of the roll, the radially outer part is extended using the stretchability of the stretchable material, or the radially inner part is It can be shortened. As a result, the difference in circumference can be absorbed and wrinkles can be prevented from occurring. Further, such a base tape 210 is bonded to a print target tape (see FIG. 39 described later) to be bonded through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc (further cut into a predetermined length) and a RFID label is attached. When creating, there is also an effect of suppressing the occurrence of floating on the base tape 210 side during the bonding.

  For example, when the second tape 200A side (specifically, the separator layer 200Ad) is made of a stretchable material, the difference in the circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210 is wound into a roll shape, It is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring by absorbing the stretched portion in the radial direction using the stretchability of the separator layer 200Ad. In this case, the RFID label produced as described above using the base tape 210 having such a structure has a convex curvature when it is applied to the convex portion of the object to be attached. Even if a difference in circumferential length between the outer radius direction and the inner radius direction occurs due to the expansion of the separator layer 200Ad, the difference in the circumferential length can be absorbed. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a crack.

  Further, for example, when the first tape 200B side (specifically, the tape base material layer 200Bb) is made of a stretchable material, the difference in the circumferential length generated when the base tape 210 is wound into a roll shape. Can be absorbed by shrinking at the radially inner portion by using the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base material layer 200Bb, thereby preventing wrinkles from occurring. Further, in this case, when the RFID label produced as described above using the base tape 210 having such a structure is used to attach the concave shape of the object to be attached, the curvature of the concave shape is obtained. Even if a difference in the circumferential length between the outside in the radius direction of curvature and the inside in the radius direction of curvature occurs, the tape base layer 200Bb can be shortened to absorb the difference in circumference, and the difference in circumference Thus, wrinkles can be prevented from occurring.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, wrinkles in the case where the base tape 210 is wound into a roll shape, the case where the RFID label produced using the base tape 210 is attached to the concavo-convex portion, etc. Therefore, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using them can be maintained.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the circumference of the tape base material layer 200Bb is changed from 2π (R ₁ −t) to 2πR, for example, by the above-described tension control (drive tape tension control, stop tape tension control, see FIG. 3). The tension of the first tape 200B is controlled to an appropriate value (appropriate value for extending the tape base layer 200Bb by 2πt) so as to be wound around the reel member 215a while being stretched to ₁ (for example, the air cylinder 262C). The piston 262a may be driven relatively to the extension side). Thereby, when the base tape 210 is wound as the base tape roll 215, the stress in the shrinkage direction is applied to the tape base layer 200Bb, and the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb is used. By shortening at the radially inner portion, the difference in the circumferential length of 2πt can be absorbed, and wrinkles can be prevented from occurring.

  In addition, as the formation of the base tape roll 215 progresses, the radial dimension of the base tape 210 wound in a roll shape increases and the curvature decreases. Therefore, as the radial position at the time of winding becomes farther from the radial center of the base tape roll 215, the tension in the tension control (direction substantially along the tape surface direction with respect to the tape base layer 200Bb) is controlled in the tension control. You may make it control tension to make small. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the tension in the tensile direction in response to the increase in the curvature, to optimize the magnitude of the applied tension, and to reliably prevent the generation of wrinkles.

  Further, in the dimension setting of the thickness of the first tape 200B, the greater the thickness, the larger the curvature under the same outer diameter condition, and the sharper the degree of bending on the inner diameter side. Therefore, as the thickness of the first tape 200B is increased, the tension is controlled so as to increase the tension in the tension direction (a direction along the tape surface direction with respect to the tape base layer 200Bb) in the tension control. Also good. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the tension in the tensile direction corresponding to the increase in the curvature, optimize the magnitude of the applied tension, and reliably prevent wrinkles.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A have the adhesive layers 200Ba and 200Ac adjacent to the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg), respectively. As a result, the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg) can be placed on both the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A, so that the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg) continues in the longitudinal direction of the tape at predetermined intervals. Thus, the base tape 210 stably arranged can be configured.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the second tape 200A functions as an antenna base adhesive layer provided adjacent to the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg) and the first tape 200B is attached to the object to be attached. It has an adhesive layer 200Ac that also functions as an adhesive layer for attaching. Thus, for example, as in Modification 1 shown in FIG. 5 described later, the antenna base adhesive layer (200Aa) and the adhesive layer for attachment (200Ac) are different from those of the base tape in which the configuration is different. Since a base tape can be formed without providing a separate base layer between them, the thickness of the tape can be reduced, and this also has the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles.

  In addition, when both separator layer 200Ad and tape base material layer 200Bb are made of a stretchable material, it is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring by combining both effects.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the above embodiment, and can be applied to various layer configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical idea. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described.

(1) In the case where the first tape includes a tape base material layer (intermediate base material layer) In the above embodiment, the second tape 200A has a two-layer structure including the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac and the separator layer 200Ad. For example, a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa made of an appropriate adhesive and a colored tape substrate layer 200Ab made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) may be used. FIG. 5 is a conceptual side view showing a state in which the second tape 200A-1 and the first tape 200B-1 in Modification 1 are bonded together with the wireless tag Tg interposed therebetween. It is a corresponding figure. In FIG. 5, the same parts as those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the second tape 200A-1 of the first modification has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad made of a stretchable material. It has become. The configurations of the wireless tag Tg and the first tape 200B-1 are the same as the configurations of the wireless tag Tg and the first tape 200B shown in FIG. In the first modification having such a configuration, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-1 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, and then the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-1. 200Aa and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-1 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A portion of the base tape 210-1 (not shown) is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-1 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In Modification 1 of the above configuration, in addition to the same effects as in the present embodiment, a base tape 210-1 having a multilayer structure consisting of 10 layers can be generated. Further, by making the tape base material layer 200Ab colored, this color is used as a background color, and visual effects (e.g., printability) from the front side of the base tape 210-1 and decoration effects (user's preference) It is also possible to enhance the color.

  In the first modification, in particular, the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A have adhesive layers 200Ba and 200Aa for placing the antenna substrate 160 (wireless tag Tg) on the tape substrate layer, respectively. As a result, the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg) can be placed on the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B and the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A. Tg) can be arranged more stably continuously in the longitudinal direction of the tape at predetermined intervals.

  In addition to the configuration of Modification 1 described above, the present invention can be applied to tapes having various layer configurations. Hereinafter, these modifications will be described in order. In the following modifications, the case where no stretchable material is used for the separator layer 200Ad of the second tape will be described as an example. However, in the configuration of each modification, a stretchable material is used for the separator layer 200Ad. May be.

  For example, in Modification 2 shown in FIG. 6, the second tape 200A-2 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. In the second tape 200A-2, unlike the second tape 200A-1, the separator layer 200Ad is not made of a stretchable material. The configuration of the first tape 200B-2 and the wireless tag Tg of the second modification is the same as the configuration of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the second modification having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-2 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, the tape base material of the second tape 200A-2 is provided. The layer 200Ab and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-2 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A base tape 210-2 (not shown) consisting of the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-2 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In Modification 2 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-2 is wound into a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-2. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using. Furthermore, in the second modification, an adhesive layer 200Ba for placing the wireless tag Tg only on one side (here, the first tape 200B-2) of the first tape 200B-2 and the second tape 200A-2. Therefore, the thickness of the entire tape can be reduced as compared with the case of providing both the first tape and the second tape as in the first modification. As a result, this also has the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles.

  For example, in the third modification shown in FIG. 7, the second tape 200A-3 includes an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab (elastic layer) made of an elastic material, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. It has a four-layer structure. The first tape 200B-3 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base layer 200Bb, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd. At this time, in this first tape 200B-3, the tape base material layer 200Bb is not made of a stretchable material. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the third modification having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-3 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-3 is provided. 200Aa and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-3 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A portion of the base tape 210-3 (not shown) is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-3 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In Modification 3 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-3 is wound into a roll shape is determined using the stretchability of the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-3. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from being generated by absorbing by stretching at the outer portion in the direction.

  For example, in Modification 4 shown in FIG. 8, the second tape 200A-4 has a three-layer structure including a tape base material layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad made of a stretchable material. . The configuration of the first tape 200B-4 is the same as the configuration of the first tape 200B-3 of Modification 3, and the configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. In the fourth modification having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-4 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, the tape base material of the second tape 200A-4 is provided. The layer 200Ab and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-4 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A base tape 210-4 (not shown) consisting of the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-4 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 4 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-4 is wound into a roll shape is determined using the stretchability of the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-4. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from being generated by absorbing by stretching at the outer portion in the direction.

  For example, in Modification 5 shown in FIG. 9, the second tape 200A-5 includes four layers including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab made of an elastic material, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. It has a structure. Further, the first tape 200B-5 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In this modified example 5 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-5 having the above configuration, the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-5 is used. 200Aa and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-5 are bonded together by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A portion of the base tape 210-5 (not shown) is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-5 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In Modification 5 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-5 is wound in a roll shape is calculated using the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-5 and the first tape 200B-5. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring by absorbing and stretching by expanding and contracting at the radially outer and inner portions using both the stretch properties of the tape base layer 200Bb. Thus, in this modification 5, since the tape base material layers of both the first tape and the second tape can be expanded and contracted, even when the difference in the circumferential length is large, it is sufficiently absorbed and wrinkles are generated. Can be reliably prevented.

  For example, in Modification 6 shown in FIG. 10, the second tape 200A-6 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad made of a stretchable material. . The first tape 200B-6 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base material layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In this modified example 6 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-6 having the above configuration, the tape base material of the second tape 200A-6 is provided. The layer 200Ab and the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B-6 are bonded together by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A base tape 210-6 (not shown) consisting of the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-6 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 6 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-6 is wound in a roll shape is determined by using the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-6 and the first tape 200B-6. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring by absorbing and stretching by expanding and contracting at the radially outer and inner portions using both the stretch properties of the tape base layer 200Bb. As a result, even when the difference in circumference is large, it can be sufficiently absorbed and wrinkles can be reliably prevented.

  For example, in the modified example 7 shown in FIG. 11, the second tape 200A-7 includes four layers including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab made of an elastic material, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. It has a structure. The first tape 200B-7 has a two-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Bc and a separator layer 200Bd. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In this modified example 7 with such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-7 having the above configuration, the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-7 200Aa and the adhesive layer 200Bc of the first tape 200B-7 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A portion of the base tape 210-7 (not shown) is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-7 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 7 having the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-7 is wound in a roll shape is determined by using the stretchability of the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-7. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from being generated by absorbing by stretching at the outer portion in the direction. Furthermore, in the seventh modification, the first tape 200B-7 functions as an antenna base adhesive layer provided adjacent to the antenna base 160 (wireless tag Tg), the print-receiving tape, and the second tape. It has an adhesive layer 200Bc that also functions as an adhesive layer for bonding to 200A-7. Thereby, as compared with the base tape in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for antenna base (200Ba) and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for bonding (200Bc) are different structures as in the above embodiment, a separate base layer is provided between them. Since the base tape can be configured without providing the tape, the thickness of the tape can be reduced, and this also has the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles.

  For example, in Modification 8 shown in FIG. 12, the second tape 200A-8 has a three-layer structure including a tape base material layer 200Ab made of a stretchable material, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. . The first tape 200B-8 has a two-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Bc and a separator layer 200Bd. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the present modification 8 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-8 having the above configuration, the tape base material of the second tape 200A-8 is provided. The layer 200Ab and the adhesive layer 200Bc of the first tape 200B-8 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A base tape 210-8 (not shown) comprising the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll is manufactured in which the base tape 210-8 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound.

  In the modified example 8 having the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-8 is wound into a roll shape is determined by using the stretchability of the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-8. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from being generated by absorbing by stretching at the outer portion in the direction. Further, the synergistic effect of both the second modification and the seventh modification has an effect of further reducing the thickness of the tape.

  In the above modifications 1 to 8, the configuration in the case where the first tape has the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (200Ba or 200Bc) on the wireless tag Tg side is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first tape is on the wireless tag Tg side. A configuration without an adhesive layer is also conceivable. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described. In this case, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200A1 on the second tape 200A side by the tag inserter 226 (see FIG. 14 described later).

  For example, in Modification 9 shown in FIG. 13, the second tape 200A-9 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. The first tape 200B-9 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Bb, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd made of a stretchable material. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG.

  FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram showing an overall schematic structure of a tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a base tape roll around which the base tape of Modification 9 is wound, and corresponds to FIG. 1 described above. . The same parts as those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the tag inserter 226, the tag checker 270, and the tape holding member 274 are installed on the second tape 200A side. Thereby, in this modification 9, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment part 200A1 of the second tape 200A-9 configured as described above, the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-9 is provided. The adhesive layer 200Aa of the second tape 200A-9 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separator 209 (separator layer 200Bd) is separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. The base tape 210-9 made of is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-9 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 9 having the above-described configuration, the difference in peripheral length generated when the base tape 210-9 is wound in a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (contractability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-9. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  Further, for example, in Modification 10 shown in FIG. 15, the second tape 200A-10 includes four layers including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab made of an elastic material, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. It has a structure. The first tape 200B-10 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Bb, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG.

The layer 200Bb and the adhesive layer 200Aa of the second tape 200A-10 are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, conveyed to the downstream side, and the separators 209 (separator layer 200Bd) are separated and removed by the rollers 240A and 240B. A base tape 210-10 (not shown) consisting of the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-10 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 10 having the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-10 is wound in a roll shape is determined by using the stretchability of the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-10. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from being generated by absorbing by stretching at the outer portion in the direction.

  For example, in the modification 11 shown in FIG. 16, 2nd tape 200A-11 is 4 layers which consist of adhesive layer 200Aa, tape base material layer 200Ab comprised with an elastic material, adhesive layer 200Ac, and separator layer 200Ad. It has a structure. The first tape 200B-11 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Bb, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a separator layer 200Bd made of a stretchable material. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the present modification 11 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200A1 of the second tape 200A-11 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, the tape base material of the first tape 200B-11 is provided.

A base tape 210-11 (not shown) having the above portion is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-11 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the eleventh modification of the above configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-11 is wound in a roll shape is calculated by using the tape base layer 200Ab of the second tape 200A-11 and the first tape 200B-11. It is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring by absorbing and stretching by expanding and contracting at the radially outer and inner portions using both the stretch properties of the tape base layer 200Bb.

Hereinafter, the case where the first tape has a transfer layer as a print-receiving layer (that is, a receptor type) will be described as an example. However, in each modification, the image receiving layer (so-called ink jet type) is provided instead of the transfer layer. It may be. In the configuration of each of the following modifications, a stretchable material may be used for the separator layer 200Ad.

  FIG. 27 is a concept showing a state in which the second tape 200A-20 and the first tape 200B-20 in Modification 20 in the case of manufacturing a so-called receptor type base tape are bonded together with the wireless tag Tg interposed therebetween. FIG. 3 is a schematic side view corresponding to FIG. 2 described above. In FIG. 27, parts similar to those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the first tape 200B-20 of Modification 20 includes an adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, and a transfer layer 200Be ′ (printed layer). It has a three-layer structure. The configurations of the second tape 200A and the wireless tag Tg are the same as those of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG.

  The base tape roll wound with the base tape 210-20 bonded with the second tape 200A-20 and the first tape 200B-20 having the above-described configuration is not particularly shown, but is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. It is manufactured by the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus which is a structure. In this tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-20 having the above-described configuration by the tag inserter 226, the adhesive layer 200Ac and the second adhesive layer 200Ac of the second tape 200A-20 are used. The adhesive layer 200Ba of one tape 200B-20 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the base tape 210-20 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-20 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined regular intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 20 of the above configuration, as in the case of the thermal tape described above, in addition to the same effect as in the above embodiment, there is an effect that the thickness of the tape and the entire label can be reduced.

  For example, in Modification 21 shown in FIG. 28, the second tape 200A-21 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad.

The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the present modification 21 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-21 having the above configuration by the tag inserter 226, the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-21 is provided.

In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-21 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modification 21 of the said structure, the difference of the circumferential length produced when the base tape 210-21 is wound in roll shape is made into the elasticity (contraction property) of tape base material layer 200Bb of 1st tape 200B-21. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  For example, in the modification 22 shown in FIG. 29, 2nd tape 200A-22 has the 3 layer structure which consists of tape base material layer 200Ab, adhesive layer 200Ac, and separator layer 200Ad.

In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-22 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 22 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-22 is wound into a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-22. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  In the above modified examples 20 to 22, the configuration in which the first tape has the adhesive layer 200Ba on the wireless tag Tg side is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first tape has the adhesive layer on the wireless tag Tg side. A configuration without it is also conceivable. In this case, the tag inserter 226 attaches the wireless tag Tg to the attachment portion 200A1 (see FIG. 22 described above) on the second tape 200A side.

  For example, in the modified example 23 shown in FIG. 30, the second tape 200A-23 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. The first tape 200B-23 has a two-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material and a transfer layer 200Be '. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the present modification 23 having such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment portion 200A1 of the second tape 200A-23 having the above configuration, the tape base material of the first tape 200B-23 is provided. The adhesive layer 200Aa of the layer 200Bb and the second tape 200A-23 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the generated base tape 210-23 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-23 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 23 having the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-23 is wound in a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-23. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  In the above description, the transfer layer 200Be ′ is laminated on the tape base material layer 200Bb. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the transfer sheet (receptor sheet) composed of the transfer base material layer and the transfer layer is interposed via the adhesive. You may make it provide in tape base material layer 200Bb. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described. In each of the following modifications, an image receiving sheet (inkjet sheet) including the image receiving substrate layer and the image receiving layer may be provided instead of the transfer sheet including the transfer substrate layer and the transfer layer.

  For example, in the modified example 24 shown in FIG. 31, the second tape 200A-24 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. On the other hand, the first tape 200B-24 includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba, a tape base material layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc, and a transfer base material layer 200Bf ′ (printed base material) and a transfer layer 200Bg. It has a four-layer structure composed of a transfer sheet 200Bh composed of “(printed layer)”. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG. In the present modification 24 having such a configuration, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B-24 having the above-described configuration by the tag inserter 226, and then the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-24. The adhesive layer 200Ba of 200Aa and the first tape 200B-24 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the generated base tape 210-24 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-24 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 24 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length that occurs when the base tape 210-24 is wound into a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-24. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  For example, in the modified example 25 shown in FIG. 32, the second tape 200A-25 has a three-layer structure including a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. The first tape 200B-25 has the same configuration as that of the modified example 24, and the configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. In this modified example 25 of such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment part 200B1 of the first tape 200B-25 having the above-described configuration, the tape base material of the second tape 200A-25 The adhesive layer 200Ba of the layer 200Ab and the first tape 200B-25 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the generated base tape 210-25 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-25 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 25 having the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-25 is wound into a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-25. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  For example, in the modification 26 shown in FIG. 33, 2nd tape 200A-26 has the 2 layer structure which consists of adhesive layer 200Ac and separator layer 200Ad. The first tape 200B-26 has the same configuration as that of the above-described modified examples 24 and 25, and the configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as the configuration of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG. In this modified example 26 of such a configuration, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment part 200B1 of the first tape 200B-26 having the above-described configuration, the adhesive layer of the second tape 200A-26 The adhesive layer 200Ba of 200Ac and the first tape 200B-26 is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the generated base tape 210-26 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this way, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-26 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 26 of the said structure, the difference of the circumferential length produced when the base tape 210-26 is wound in roll shape is made into the elasticity (contraction property) of tape base material layer 200Bb of 1st tape 200B-26. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  For example, in Modification 27 shown in FIG. 34, the second tape 200A-27 has a four-layer structure including an adhesive layer 200Aa, a tape base layer 200Ab, an adhesive layer 200Ac, and a separator layer 200Ad. On the other hand, the first tape 200B-27 includes a tape base material layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material, an adhesive layer 200Bc, and a transfer sheet (receptor sheet) 200Bh composed of a transfer base material layer 200Bf ′ and a transfer layer 200Bg ′. It has a three-layer structure. The configuration of the wireless tag Tg is the same as that of the above embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the modified example 27 having such a configuration, a tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus in which the tag inserter 226, the tag checker 270, and the tape holding member 274 are arranged on the second tape 200A side, as in the modified example 23 described above. Is used. That is, after the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226 to the attachment part 200A1 of the second tape 200A-27 configured as described above, the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-27 and the second tape 200A-27 The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Aa is bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, and the generated base tape 210-27 is wound around the reel member 215a. In this manner, a base tape roll in which the base tape 210-27 provided with the RFID circuit elements To at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction is wound is manufactured.

  In the modified example 27 of the above-described configuration, the difference in circumferential length generated when the base tape 210-27 is wound in a roll shape is determined by the stretchability (shrinkability) of the tape base layer 200Bb of the first tape 200B-27. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of wrinkles by absorbing the resin by shortening it at the radially inner portion by using.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the first embodiment described above absorbs the difference in circumference by the stretchability of the stretchable layer that at least one of the first tape and the second tape has, and prevents the generation of wrinkles. While tension was applied to the first tape as appropriate, both the first tape and the second tape did not have an elastic layer made of an elastic material, but applied tension to the first tape. Doing wrinkles (or applying greater tension to the first tape than the second tape) to reduce the wrinkles by shrinking at the radially inner portion using the stretchability (shrinkability) that the first tape normally has It is. That is, the application of tension to the first tape (or application of greater tension to the first tape than the second tape) is necessarily performed.

  Since the configuration of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 1 of the first embodiment described above, description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 35 is a conceptual side view showing a state in which the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A of the present embodiment are bonded together with the wireless tag Tg interposed therebetween, and corresponds to FIG. 2 described above. . The same parts as those in FIG.

  In FIG. 35, the second tape 200A has a two-layer structure in this example, and moves from the side wound on the outer side of the second tape roll 211 (upper side in the figure) to the opposite side (lower side in the figure). , Separator layer 200Ad ′ (peeling material layer) and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac (adhesive layer for attachment) made of an appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Unlike the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, the separator layer 200Ad 'is not composed of a stretchable material.

  The first tape 200B has a four-layer structure in this example, and is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of a suitable pressure-sensitive adhesive from the side wound outward (upper side in the figure) to the opposite side (lower side in the figure). 200Ba, tape base material layer 200Bb ′ (tag tape base material layer), an adhesive layer 200Bc (adhesive layer for bonding) made of an appropriate adhesive, and a separator layer 200Bd are laminated in this order. Note that, unlike the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, the tape base layer 200Bb 'is not made of a stretchable material. The separator layer 200Bd is finally wound around the reel member 217a and collected as a separator roll 217.

  In the base tape 210, after the wireless tag Tg is inserted between the second tape 200A having the two-layer structure and the first tape 200B having the four-layer structure, the separator layer 200Bd is formed of the reel member 217a as described above. In this example, an eight-layer structure is formed by winding and removing. That is, the separator layer 200Ad ′, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac, the antenna base 160, and the tag side from the side wound around the reel member 215a (upper side in FIG. 35) to the opposite side (lower side in FIG. 35). The antenna 152, the IC chip holding member 161, the adhesive layer 200Ba, the tape base material layer 200Bb ′, and the adhesive layer 200Bc are laminated in this order.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a control procedure executed by the controller 230 of the present embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 3 described above. The same steps as those in FIG.

  The difference between FIG. 36 and FIG. 3 described above is that steps S507 and S547, which are procedures for performing tension control to add tension in the tensile direction to the first tape 200B after the start of tape driving in steps S505 and S545, are added. It is a point. That is, when the winding operation of the base tape 210 around the reel member 215a is completed in step S501, in the next step S505, the transport rollers 219A and 219B are driven, and the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are moved to the first state. The two tape rolls 211 and the first tape roll 213 are driven out. As a result, the second tape 200A is fed out from the second tape roll 211 and the first tape 200B is fed out from the first tape roll 213, and is bonded and integrated by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. It is conveyed to the 219B side.

In the next step S507, the motor speeds of the second and first tape shaft driving motors 212 and 214, the base tape shaft driving motor 216, and the separator shaft driving motor 218 are controlled, and the tension arms 267A to 267A to D are controlled by the air cylinders 262A to D. D is rotated, and tension control is performed so that the tension of each tape 200A, 200B, 209, 210 at the time of tape conveyance calculated from the angle of the tension arms 267A-D detected by the angle sensors 268A-D becomes an appropriate value ( Hereinafter, “tape tension control during driving” is appropriately performed). In the present embodiment, the first tape 200B is wound around the reel member 215a while the circumference of the first tape 200B is extended from 2π (R ₁ −t) to 2πR ₁ (see FIG. 4 described above). The tension in the tensile direction to be applied is controlled to an appropriate value (appropriate value for extending the first tape 200B by 2πt). In the present embodiment, the first tape 200B does not have an elastic layer made of an elastic material, but the tension is controlled so that the first tape 200B extends by the length described above by using the elasticity that the first tape 200B normally has. To do. Further, this driving tape tension control is always performed during the tape driving.

  Subsequent steps S510 to S545 are the same as in FIG. 3 described above. When the RFID tag Tg is reached by driving the tape, the tape driving is stopped, and the tag checker 270 determines whether the RFID circuit element To is normal. If it is normal, the tag inserter 226 attaches the wireless tag Tg to the attachment portion 200B1 of the first tape 200B. Then, the transport rollers 219A and 219B are driven, and the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B are driven out from the second tape roll 211 and the first tape roll 213.

  In the next step S547, similarly to step S507, the tension in the tensile direction applied to the first tape 200B is controlled to an appropriate value (appropriate value for extending the first tape 200B by 2πt). Subsequent steps S550 to S575 are the same as those in FIG.

  Note that the above flow does not limit the present invention to the procedure shown in the above flow. For example, the order of the steps S570 and S575 is reversed, and the procedure is not deviated from the spirit and technical idea of the invention. It may be changed.

  In the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the first tape 200B including the tape base layer 200Bb ′ for arranging the wireless tag Tg is bonded to the second tape 200A in a state where tension in the tensile direction is applied in advance. Thus, the base tape 210 is configured. Then, the base tape 210 is wound around the reel member 215a so that the first tape 200B to which the tensile stress is applied and the contraction direction stress is applied is radially inward. Thereby, the first tape 200 </ b> B can be shortened at the radially inner portion by using the stretchability (shrinkability) that is usually provided. As a result, even if there is a difference in circumference between the other side in the tape thickness direction (inner side in the roll radial direction) and one side (outer side in the roll radial direction) due to the curvature of the roll, the difference in circumference is absorbed. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a crack. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using these can be maintained.

  In the above description, the tension direction tension is applied to the first tape 200B by tension control. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and tension is applied to both the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A. A tension difference may be provided between the tension applied to the tape 200B and the tension applied to the second tape 200A. In this case, the tension applied to the first tape 200B is greater than the tension applied to the second tape 200A, and an appropriate value for extending the first tape 200B to be longer than the second tape 200A by 2πt. Control to be. Also in this case, the same effect as the second embodiment is obtained.

  Also in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the tension control for reducing the tension in the tension direction as the roll radial position is further from the radial center, and the thickness of the first tape 200B is You may make it perform tension control which enlarges the tension | tensile_strength to a tension | pulling direction, so that it is thick.

  The present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the second embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the scope of the gist and the technical idea. For example, as in the configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, at least one of the separator layer 200Ad ′ and the tape base layer 200Bb ′ may be made of a stretchable material. In one embodiment, a base tape may be manufactured using the tape having the layer configuration of Modifications 1 to 27 shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 17, 19 to 21, and FIGS. 23 to 34. Good. In addition, at this time, the layer structure composed of a normal material instead of the stretch material (stretch layer 200Ad, tape base layer 200Bb, tape base layer 200) composed of the stretch material in each modification example. You may apply in the case of. In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, at least one of the first tape and the second tape is provided with an elastic layer made of an elastic material, or the first tape is provided. Although the present inventors have prevented the generation of wrinkles by applying a tension (or applying a tension larger than that of the second tape to the first tape), the present inventors have disclosed a tape substrate, an IC circuit unit, and an antenna. It has also been found that the wrinkle generation can be suppressed and the soundness of the tape, roll or label can be maintained by setting the tape thickness direction dimension to an appropriate value. Hereinafter, the detailed content is demonstrated in 3rd Embodiment.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Then, in the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, the second tape 200A and the first tape 200B having the above configuration are bonded together, and the wireless tag circuit element To is provided between the two tapes to be bonded. By inserting Tg in such a direction that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the side that becomes the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound around the antenna base 160 (the left side in the enlarged view of FIG. 37, the upper side in FIG. 38). 210 (tag tape) is prepared, and the base tape 210 is wound to manufacture the base tape roll 215. In addition, the structure of the other tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus is the same as that of the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment.

On the other hand, the cover film 103 is fed out from the second roll 104 and the plurality of heating elements of the print head 10 are energized by the print drive circuit 25. As a result, the print R is printed on the back surface of the cover film 103. Then, the base tape 210 and the cover film 103 after the printing are bonded and integrated by the pressure roller 107 and the sub-roller 109 to form a tag label tape 110 with print in the direction indicated by the arrow C. It is carried out of 100. The ink ribbon 105 that has finished printing on the cover film 103 is taken up by the ribbon take-up roller 106 by driving the ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 11.

  Then, an antenna (not shown) provided on the tag label producing device side with respect to the IC circuit portion 151 of the RFID tag circuit element To provided on the tag label tape 110 with print carried out of the cartridge 100 is connected via wireless communication. After the transmission / reception of information, the RFID label T is created by cutting to a length set by a cutter (not shown) provided on the tag label producing apparatus side.

As described above, the wireless tag Tg including the antenna base 160, the tag-side antenna 152, and the IC chip holding member 161 is provided between the adhesive layer 200Ba and the adhesive layer 200Aa, and on the back surface of the cover film 103. The print R (in this example, “RF-ID” characters indicating the type of the RFID label T) is printed.

  In the above basic configuration, as described above, the present embodiment is characterized by the tape base material (tape base material layer 200Bb), the IC circuit portion (IC chip holding member 161 in the present embodiment), the antenna (the tag side antenna 152 and the antenna). By setting the dimension in the tape thickness direction of the base material 160) to a value satisfying an appropriate relational expression described later, the generation of wrinkles is suppressed. The details will be described below.

  FIG. 42 is a cross-sectional view of the base tape 210 taken along section XXXXII-XXXXII ′ in FIG. As shown in FIG. 42, the tape thickness direction dimension (hereinafter referred to as “tape substrate thickness”) of the tape substrate layer 200Bb is tj, and the antenna substrate 160 and the tag side antenna 152 in the tape thickness direction of the wireless tag Tg. Let the dimension (hereinafter referred to as “antenna thickness”) be ta, and the tape thickness dimension (hereinafter referred to as “IC chip thickness”) of the IC chip holding member 161 be ti.

  As shown in FIG. 42, at the location of each wireless tag Tg in the base tape 210, the surrounding portion (tape base layer 200Bb, etc.) bypasses the wireless tag Tg as much as the wireless tag Tg exists. It is bent and extended in the thickness direction, and the dimension in the thickness direction of the entire tape is increased as compared with a portion where the wireless tag Tg is not disposed. As the degree of bending for bypassing the wireless tag Tg increases, in other words, as the ratio of the thickness direction dimension of the entire tape to the thickness direction dimension (antenna thickness ta + IC chip thickness ti) of the wireless tag Tg decreases, the tag tape Wrinkles tend to occur in each part.

  Therefore, the inventors of the present application change the thickness of the wireless tag Tg while changing the combination of the IC chip thickness ti and the antenna thickness ta, and the tape base material thickness which is the thickness of the tape base material layer 200Bb for each of these combinations. By changing the thickness of the entire tape by changing, wrinkles were evaluated in many cases. This evaluation test was performed in a range where the sum of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (that is, the thickness of the wireless tag Tg) was 300 μm or less and the antenna thickness ta was 150 μm or less. Further, the planar size of the IC chip holding member 161 used at this time is about 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm to 2 mm × 3 mm, and the planar size of the antenna substrate 160 is about 15 mm × 24 mm to 18 mm × 44 mm.

  FIG. 43 is a table showing a lower limit value of the tape base material thickness tj with respect to a combination of each IC chip thickness ti and antenna thickness ta, in which cases where wrinkles were not generated are extracted from a large number of cases subjected to the above evaluation test. It is. As shown in this table, in case 1 (antenna thickness ta = 50 μm, IC chip thickness ti = 220 μm), the lower limit of the tape base material thickness tj in the range where wrinkles are not generated is 50 μm, and case 2 (antenna thickness ta = 60 μm, IC chip thickness ti = 210 μm), the lower limit of the tape base material thickness tj in the range where wrinkles are not generated is 50 μm, and in case 3 (antenna thickness ta = 100 μm, IC chip thickness ti = 170 μm). The lower limit value of the tape base material thickness tj in the range where wrinkles do not occur is 60 μm, and in case 4 (antenna thickness ta = 150 μm, IC chip thickness ti = 150 μm), The lower limit was 80 μm.

  The inventors of the present application pay attention to the ratio (= tj / (ta + ti)) of the tape base material thickness tj to the total of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (that is, the thickness of the wireless tag Tg) based on the above result. Is 0.19 in case 1, 0.19 in case 2, 0.22 in case 3, and 0.27 in case 4, so that the minimum value of 0.19 is a margin value based on the experience of the inventors. It has been found that wrinkles can be prevented if the value is 0.15 or more.

  On the other hand, as described above, the base tape 210 is wound in the form of a roll in the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus at the time of roll production, and at the time of tag label production, the base tape 210 is fed out from the roll in the tag label production apparatus and conveyed while being redirected in the conveyance path. The For this reason, when the thickness of the whole tape becomes too large, the rigidity is too strong, and it becomes difficult to perform the above-described roll-shaped winding work, the turning of the conveyance path, and the like.

  Therefore, as a result of various studies by the inventors of the present application, when the total of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (that is, the thickness of the wireless tag Tg) is 270 μm, the base tape 210 can be wound. The maximum value of the tape base material thickness tj was 200 μm. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the sum of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / (ta + ti)) is 200 / 270≈0.74. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the total of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti to be 0.74 or less, it is possible to prevent excessive rigidity due to the increase in the dimension in the thickness direction and to smoothly wind the tape. Can be carried out and transported.

  From the above, according to the present embodiment, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the sum of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / (ta + ti)) is set to 0.15 or more and 0.74 or less. Thus, it is possible to realize the base tape 210 and the RFID label T that are practically usable with little wrinkling.

  As a result of studies by the inventors of the present application, when the tape base material thickness tj is 100 μm or less, the base tape 210 can be wound more suitably. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the sum of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / (ta + ti)) is 100 / 270≈0.37. Therefore, when the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the total of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / (ta + ti)) is set to 0.15 or more and 0.37 or less, wrinkles are less likely to occur. Thus, the base tape 210 and the RFID label T can be realized.

  Further, the inventors of the present application pay attention to the ratio (= tj / ta) of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta from the result shown in FIG. 43, and this value is 1.0 in case 1 and 0 in case 2. .83, 0.63 in Case 3 and 0.53 in Case 4, so if the value is 0.50 or more obtained by subtracting the margin value based on the experience of the inventors of the present invention to 0.53, the wrinkle It has been found that the occurrence of can be prevented.

  On the other hand, as described above, the base tape 210 is wound in the form of a roll in the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus at the time of roll production, and at the time of tag label production, the base tape 210 is fed out from the roll in the tag label production apparatus and conveyed while being redirected in the conveyance path. The For this reason, when the thickness of the whole tape becomes too large, the rigidity is too strong, and it becomes difficult to perform the above-described roll-shaped winding work, the turning of the conveyance path, and the like.

  Therefore, as a result of various studies by the inventors of the present application, when the antenna thickness ta is 50 μm, the maximum value of the tape base material thickness tj at which the base tape 210 can be wound is 200 μm. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta (= tj / ta) is 200 / 50≈4.0. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta to 4.0 or less, it is possible to prevent the rigidity from being excessive due to the increase in the dimension in the thickness direction, and to smoothly wind and transport the tape. it can.

  From the above, according to the present embodiment, the value of the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta (= tj / ta) is set to 0.50 or more and 4.0 or less, so that wrinkles are hardly generated. Usable base tape 210 and RFID label T can be realized.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, as a result of examination by this inventor etc., when the tape base material thickness tj was 100 micrometers or less, the roll winding of the base tape 210 was performed more suitably. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta (= tj / ta) is 100 / 50≈2.0. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta (= tj / ta) to be 0.50 or more and 2.0 or less, the base tape 210 which is less likely to cause wrinkles and further improves the quality, and The wireless tag label T can be realized.

  Further, the inventors of the present application pay attention to the ratio (= tj / ti) of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti from the result shown in FIG. 43, and this value is 0.23 in case 1 and in case 2 0.24, 0.33 in case 3 and 0.53 in case 4, so if the value is 0.20 or more obtained by subtracting the margin value based on the experience of the inventors of the present invention to 0.23, which is the minimum value, It was found that wrinkles can be prevented.

  On the other hand, as described above, the base tape 210 is wound in the form of a roll in the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus at the time of roll production, and at the time of tag label production, the base tape 210 is fed out from the roll in the tag label production apparatus and conveyed while being redirected in the conveyance path. The For this reason, when the thickness of the whole tape becomes too large, the rigidity is too strong, and it becomes difficult to perform the above-described roll-shaped winding work, the turning of the conveyance path, and the like.

  Accordingly, as a result of various studies by the inventors of the present application, when the IC chip thickness ti is 220 μm, the maximum value of the tape base material thickness tj at which the base tape 210 can be wound is 200 μm. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / ti) is 200 / 220≈0.91. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti to be 0.91 or less, it is possible to prevent the rigidity from being excessive due to the increase in the dimension in the thickness direction, and to smoothly wind and convey the tape. Can do.

  From the above, according to the present embodiment, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / ti) is set to 0.20 or more and 0.91 or less, so that wrinkles are hardly generated. It is possible to realize the base tape 210 and the RFID label T that can be used for the above.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, as a result of examination by this inventor etc., when the tape base material thickness tj was 100 micrometers or less, the roll winding of the base tape 210 was performed more suitably. At this time, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / ti) is 100 / 220≈0.45. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the IC chip thickness ti (= tj / ti) to be 0.20 or more and 0.45 or less, the base tape 210 is further improved in quality because wrinkles are not easily generated. And the RFID label T can be realized.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the tape base material that is the thickness direction dimension of the tape base material layer 200Bb with respect to the thickness direction dimension (total of the antenna thickness ta and the IC chip thickness ti) ta + ti of the wireless tag Tg. By setting the ratio of the thickness tj to 0.15 or more and making the entire base tape relatively thick with respect to the wireless tag Tg, the influence of the increase in size due to the wireless tag Tg at the position where the wireless tag Tg is arranged is reduced. Occurrence can be prevented.

  On the other hand, the base material tape 210 having such a laminated structure including the tape base material layer 200Bb is wound into a roll shape at the time of roll production, and is drawn out from the roll in the tag label production device at the time of tag label production, and is turned along the conveyance path. It is conveyed while. For this reason, when the thickness of the whole tape becomes too large, the rigidity is too strong, and it becomes difficult to perform the above-described roll-shaped winding work, the turning of the conveyance path, and the like. In the present embodiment, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the thickness dimension (total of antenna thickness ta + IC chip thickness ti) ta + ti of the RFID tag Tg is 0.74 or less, thereby increasing the dimension in the thickness direction. It is possible to prevent the rigidity from becoming excessive, and to smoothly wind and convey the material.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the ratio of the thickness direction dimension tj of the tape base material layer 200Bb to the thickness direction dimension ta + ti of the wireless tag Tg is set to an appropriate range, so that wrinkles are hardly generated. It is possible to realize a base tape that can be used. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using these can be maintained.

  In this embodiment, the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta of the wireless tag Tg is set to 0.50 or more, and the tape base relative to the antenna base material 160 and the tag side antenna 152 of the wireless tag Tg is used. By increasing the thickness of the material layer 200Bb, it is possible to reduce the influence of the size increase due to the wireless tag Tg at the position where the wireless tag Tg is disposed, and to prevent the generation of wrinkles. On the other hand, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta of the wireless tag Tg to 4.0 or less, it is possible to prevent the rigidity from being excessive due to the increase in the dimension in the thickness direction, and Transport can be performed.

  As described above, in this embodiment, by setting the ratio of the tape base material thickness tj to the antenna thickness ta of the wireless tag Tg within an appropriate range, a base tape that can be used practically with little wrinkling is generated. Can be realized. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using these can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, the tape base material layer 200Bb is particularly made of a stretchable material. Thereby, when the base tape 210 is wound as the base tape roll 215, even if a difference in circumferential length between the radially outer side and the radially inner side occurs due to the curvature of the roll, the tape base layer 200Bb The difference in circumference can be absorbed by shortening the radially inner portion by using the stretchability of the stretchable material. As a result, it is possible to prevent wrinkles from occurring in the base tape 210 due to the difference in circumference, so that the effect of preventing wrinkles can be further enhanced.

  In this embodiment, in particular, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) is arranged so as to protrude from the antenna base 160 on the side that becomes the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound. Here, in general, when a base tape is wound around an axis to form a base tape roll, the curvature of the base tape increases (the degree of bending becomes tight) as the roll inner diameter side, and the outer diameter side of the roll. The lower the curvature of the base tape, the lower the degree of bending. And when the thickness of a base tape changes, the influence which the change of the thickness of the tape has on the whole roll is smaller than the case where the direction where the curvature of a base tape is small is large. In the base tape 210 of this embodiment, as described above, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) is disposed so as to protrude from the antenna base 160 toward the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound. As a result, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) can be disposed on the outer diameter side of the roll having a relatively small curvature. As a result, the tape thickness depends on the thickness of the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151). It is possible to reduce the influence of the change of. Therefore, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles during roll winding can be obtained also by this.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, in particular, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) is disposed so as to protrude to the opposite side of the tape base material layer 200Bb made of a stretchable material. Also by this, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles during winding of the roll can be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the third embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical idea. For example, the layer configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, or the first modification shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 17, 19 to 21, and FIGS. 23 to 34 in the first embodiment. It is good also as a 27-layer structure. In this case, as shown in FIG. 38, the RFID tag Tg is arranged in a direction in which the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the antenna base 160 on the outer circumferential side (upper side in FIG. 38) when the roll is wound. Is preferred. In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained.

  In the third embodiment described above, the tape base material (tape base material layer 200Bb), IC circuit portion (IC chip holding member 161), and antenna (tag-side antenna 152 and antenna base material 160) tape. Although the thickness direction dimension was set to an appropriate value to prevent wrinkles, the inventors of the present application also set the plane position of the IC circuit portion with respect to the antenna base material to an appropriate position. And the second tape are bonded together so as to sandwich the wireless tag, and the generation of a base tape is suppressed, and the soundness of the tape, roll or label can be maintained. Hereinafter, the detailed content is demonstrated in 4th Embodiment.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The configuration of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215 of this embodiment, and the RFID label T and the like created using these are shown in FIGS. 37 to 41 of the third embodiment described above. Since it is the same as that shown in FIG.

  In the basic configuration described above, the feature of the present embodiment is that, as described above, the planar position of the IC circuit unit (IC chip holding member 161 in the present embodiment) with respect to the antenna base 160 is arranged at an appropriate position. That is, the generation of wrinkles at the time of tape bonding between the tape 200B and the second tape 200A (hereinafter, appropriately described as “tape bonding”) is suppressed. The details will be described below.

  FIG. 44 is a diagram showing a state in which the base tape 210 is fed out from the first roll 102 (equivalent to the base tape roll 215) around which the base tape 210 is wound in the RFID circuit element cartridge 100. The enlarged view of the radio | wireless tag Tg showing the positional relationship of the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna base material 160 in the radio | wireless tag Tg of this embodiment is shown. In FIG. 44, the tag side antenna 152 is not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 44, the antenna base 160 constituting the wireless tag Tg has a dimension in the tape longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 44) of 2L and a tape width direction (vertical direction in FIG. 44) of 2M. Then, the IC chip holding member 161 is arranged with respect to the antenna substrate 160 such that the center position 160a of the antenna substrate 160 and the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161 deviate by a distance H. At this time, the distance between the tape longitudinal direction center position of the IC chip holding member 161 and the tape longitudinal direction center position of the antenna substrate 160 is Ha, the tape width direction center position of the IC chip holding member 161 and the antenna substrate 160 The distance from the center position in the tape width direction is Hb. The distance Ha has a negative value in the feeding direction (left direction in FIG. 44) of the base tape, and a positive value in the direction opposite to the feeding direction (roll core direction; right direction in FIG. 44). Also, the distance Hb is different from the distance Ha, and is expressed as a positive value in both directions of the base tape 210 in the tape width direction on one side (upper side in FIG. 44) and the other side (lower side in FIG. 44). .

  The distance H and the distance Ha correspond to the predetermined distance H between the center position of the IC circuit portion described in the claims and the center position of the corresponding antenna substrate and the center position in the tape longitudinal direction of the IC circuit portion. This corresponds to a predetermined distance Ha between the antenna base and the center position in the tape longitudinal direction.

  In the present embodiment, the IC chip holding member 161 is deviated from the antenna substrate 160 so that the values of the distance Ha and the distance Hb are within the range shown in FIG. The details will be described next.

  The inventors of the present application have changed the center of the antenna base 160 while changing the combination of the distance Ha and the distance Hb with respect to the plurality of wireless tags Tg having the tape longitudinal dimension 2L and the tape width dimension 2M different from each other. By changing the distance H between the position 160a and the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161, the presence or absence of wrinkles was evaluated in many cases. In this evaluation test, as shown in FIG. 45A, the RFID tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction, and FIG. As shown in (b), the test was performed both in the case where the RFID tag Tg was arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protruded from the inner peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. As a result, if the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L is within a predetermined range for the tape longitudinal dimension, the tape is applied if the ratio of the distance Hb to the distance M is within a predetermined range for the tape width dimension. It was found that the generation of wrinkles at the time of combination can be suppressed.

  FIG. 46 is a table showing the evaluation test results. In this table, the range in which the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) is a negative value indicates that the IC chip holding member 161 is in the feeding direction of the base tape (left direction in FIG. 44) as described above. In the range where Ha / L is a positive value, the IC chip holding member 161 is in the roll core direction of the base tape (right direction in FIG. 44). This indicates a case where the distance Ha is deviated. Further, as described above, the ratio of the distance Hb to the distance M (Hb / M) is different from the Ha / L as described above, and the distance Hb is deviated to both sides on the one side and the other side in the tape width direction within the range of the value. Including the case where it is arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 46, with respect to the tape longitudinal dimension, the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) should be within the range of −0.9 or more and 0.2 or less (excluding 0). Thus, the occurrence of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of bonding the tape can be minimized. Moreover, if Ha / L is within a range of −0.8 or more and less than 0, the generation of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of tape bonding can be more effectively suppressed. Furthermore, if the Ha / L is in the range of −0.7 or more and −0.2 or less, the generation of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of tape bonding can be most effectively suppressed.

  In addition, in the tape width direction, if the ratio of the distance Hb to the distance M (Hb / M) is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.9, wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of tape bonding are generated. Can be minimized. Moreover, if Hb / M is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5, wrinkling of the base tape 210 during tape bonding can be more effectively suppressed. Furthermore, if the Hb / M is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.3, the occurrence of wrinkling of the base tape 210 during tape bonding can be most effectively suppressed.

  Furthermore, the above results are applicable values even when the RFID tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes to either the outer peripheral side or inner peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. However, the inventors of the present application, especially when the wireless tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction, the base tape 210 is rolled. It was found that the effect of suppressing the generation of wrinkles was greater when the roll was wound around.

  According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161 is separated from the center position 160a of the corresponding antenna base 160 by a predetermined distance H that satisfies the condition shown in FIG. In addition, by disposing the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna substrate 160, it is possible to obtain an effect of suppressing the generation of wrinkles when the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded to each other. The details will be described next.

  That is, as in the present embodiment, the first tape 200B including the tape base layer 200Bb and the like, the wireless tag Tg, and the plurality of wireless tags Tg in the tape thickness direction on the opposite side to the first tape 200B. In the base tape 210 having a multilayer structure composed of the second tape 200A provided, the wireless tag Tg is placed on the first tape 200B by the tag inserter 226, and the wireless tag Tg is placed on the first tape 200B. The tape 200B is generated by being attached to the second tape 200A so as to sandwich the wireless tag Tg downstream of the insertion position in the tape transport direction. And this base tape 210 is wound up along the outer periphery of the reel member 215a substantially orthogonal to the tape longitudinal direction, and the base tape roll 215 is produced | generated.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in each wireless tag Tg, a predetermined distance H (distances Ha and Hb) satisfying the condition of FIG. 46 with respect to the central position 160a of the antenna base 160 corresponding to the central position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161. ). Thus, by arranging the IC chip holding member 161 so as to be deviated in the tape feeding direction side, the thickness in the tape thickness direction of each wireless tag Tg in the tape longitudinal direction is from the roll core side as shown in FIG. Wirelessly so that it gradually increases gradually in the direction of tape feed-out, such as the thickness of the “antenna substrate” → the thickness of “antenna substrate + antenna” → the thickness of “antenna substrate + antenna + IC circuit part” The tag Tg can be configured. As a result, as shown in FIG. 47, when the base tape 210 is generated by bonding the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A with the wireless tag Tg interposed therebetween, the wireless tape Tg is attached from the thin part. Therefore, the influence of the generation of a step and the rigidity of the wireless tag Tg can be reduced, and the generation of wrinkles of the base tape 210 can be prevented. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215 generated by winding the base tape 210 around the reel member 215a can be maintained.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, for example, the tape longitudinal direction position of the end of the IC chip holding member 161 opposite to the tape feeding direction (roll core direction side) is more than the tape longitudinal direction center position of the antenna substrate 160. By arranging the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna substrate 160 so as to be positioned on the feeding direction side, it is possible to obtain the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles. As described above, the planar dimension of the IC chip holding member 161 used by the inventors of the present application is about 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm to 2 mm × 3 mm, and the planar dimension of the antenna substrate 160 is 15 mm × 24 mm to Since it is about 18 mm × 44 mm, the above-described arrangement allows the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) to be in the range of −0.8 or more and less than 0, or −0.7 or more and −0.2. It is because it can be set as the following ranges.

  In the present embodiment, the IC chip holding member 161 is particularly preferably arranged so as to protrude from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. Here, in general, when a base tape is wound around an axis to form a base tape roll, the curvature of the base tape increases (the degree of bending becomes tight) as the roll inner diameter side, and the outer diameter side of the roll. The lower the curvature of the base tape, the lower the degree of bending. And when the thickness of a base tape changes, the influence which the change of the thickness of the tape has on the whole roll is smaller than the case where the direction where the curvature of a base tape is small is large. In the base tape 210 of the present embodiment, as described above, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) is disposed so as to protrude from the antenna base 160 toward the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound. Thus, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) can be disposed on the outer diameter side of the roll having a relatively small curvature. As a result, the tape thickness according to the thickness of the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) can be increased. The influence of change can be reduced. Therefore, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles during winding of the roll can be obtained.

  Further, in particular, in the present embodiment, even when the IC chip holding member 161 is arranged so as to protrude from the inner peripheral side of the antenna substrate 160 in the roll winding direction, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles during roll winding is obtained. Can do. This is because when a base tape is generally wound around an axis to form a base tape roll, a difference in circumferential length between the base tape radial outer side and the radial inner side occurs due to the curvature of the roll. Although loosening occurs on the inner side and the portion tends to wrinkle, the IC chip holding member 161 is arranged so as to protrude to the inner peripheral side in the roll winding direction, so that the IC chip is formed on the inner side in the radial direction of the base tape 210. This is because an extra perimeter for covering the thickness of the holding member 161 is required, and the occurrence of slack in the radial direction can be prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the fourth embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical idea. For example, the layer configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, or the first modification shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 17, 19 to 21, and FIGS. 23 to 34 in the first embodiment. It is good also as a 27-layer structure. In this case, as shown in FIG. 38 and FIG. 45A, the wireless tag Tg is arranged in such a direction that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the antenna base 160 toward the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound. Is preferred. In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using them can be maintained by preventing the generation of wrinkles. However, the present inventors have used the adhesive layer 200Aa, 200Ba adjacent to the wireless tag Tg to use a pressure sensitive adhesive having a predetermined slow adhesive force to delaminate the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A. It has been found that it is possible to prevent the occurrence and maintain the soundness of the tape, roll or label. Hereinafter, the detailed content is demonstrated in 5th Embodiment.

  Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The configuration of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215 of this embodiment, and the RFID label T and the like created using these are shown in FIGS. 37 to 41 of the third embodiment described above. Since it is the same as that shown in FIG.

  In the basic configuration, as described above, the feature of the present embodiment is that the adhesive layer 200Aa for placing the wireless tag Tg on the tape base material layer 200Ab and the wireless tag Tg on the tape base material layer 200Bb are placed. The use of a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a predetermined slow adhesive force for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba prevents the delamination between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A. The details will be described below.

  The inventors of the present application conducted an interlayer peeling evaluation test on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 200 </ b> Aa and 200 </ b> Ba using various pressure-sensitive adhesives having different slow adhesive strengths. The measurement of the slow adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive used at this time was performed based on the Japanese Industrial Standard pressure-sensitive adhesive tape / pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet test method (JIS Z0237). Specifically, an adhesive sheet provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to be measured on a sheet having a width of 20 mm and a length of 160 mm is pasted by reciprocating a 2 kg rubber roller to the stainless steel plate once. Folding was performed so as to be parallel to the stainless steel plate, and the slow adhesive force was measured by measuring the resistance when the folded adhesive sheet was continuously peeled from the stainless steel plate at a speed of 5 mm / min.

  Further, the evaluation method of delamination is that each RFID label T produced using a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesives having different slow adhesive strengths on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba is a cylinder having a curved surface with a curvature of φ25 mm and a curved surface with a curvature of φ15 mm. It was carried out by sticking to a cylinder having a gap between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A after one week. At this time, as shown in FIG. 48A, when the label is attached to each cylinder in a direction in which the label longitudinal direction is substantially parallel to the cylinder axis direction (hereinafter referred to as “vertical application”), FIG. As shown in (b), the evaluation was performed by two methods of attaching the label in the direction in which the label longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the cylinder axis direction (hereinafter referred to as “horizontal application”).

  FIG. 49 is a table showing extracted results of the evaluation test results that were good. In this figure, ○ indicates that no delamination occurs, Δ indicates that delamination occurs but the size is less than the allowable range of 3 mm, and × indicates that delamination occurs and its size Shows a case in which is 3 mm or more.

  As shown in FIG. 49, when a pressure sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 5.0 (N / 20 mm) is used, the cylinder is peeled off in both cases of horizontal and vertical bonding with respect to a cylinder having a curvature of 25 mm. Although no peeling occurred in the case of horizontal bonding with respect to a cylinder having a curvature of 15 mm, there was no peeling of the interlayer over 3 mm in the case of vertical bonding. In addition, in the case of using an adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 6.4 (N / 20 mm), in either case of horizontal and vertical sticking to a cylinder having a curvature of φ25 mm and horizontal sticking to a cylinder having a curvature of 15 mm No delamination occurred, but in the case of vertical application to a cylinder with a curvature of 15 mm, delamination of less than 3 mm occurred. In addition, when the adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 6.7 to 25.0 (N / 20 mm) is used, the peeling of the interlayer does not occur both in the case of horizontal and vertical sticking to a cylinder having a curvature of φ25 mm and a curvature of φ15 mm. Did not occur.

  From the above results, the inventors of the present application have come up with the following conclusion. In other words, in consideration of the normal usage form of the RFID label T, it is sufficient if the interlayer peeling does not occur in the case of lateral attachment to a cylinder having a curvature of 15 mm. Therefore, the lower limit value of the slow adhesive force that can prevent the interlayer peeling is 5. 0 (N / 20 mm). On the other hand, the slow adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive generally used for producing a multilayer structure label is about 25.0 (N / 20 mm) at the maximum, and the inventors of the present application also conducted an evaluation test of 25.0 (N / 20 mm), the upper limit of the slow adhesive force is 25.0 (N / 20 mm). Therefore, it is possible to prevent peeling between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A by using an adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 5.0 (N / 20 mm) to 25.0 (N / 20 mm). Can do.

  Further, in the case of vertical bonding to a cylinder having a curvature of 15 mm, the interlayer peeling of less than 3 mm occurred in the case of the slow adhesion force 6.4 (N / 20 mm), and the interlayer peeling did not occur in the slow adhesion force 6 .7 (N / 20 mm), the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are more reliably provided that the slow adhesive force is 6.5 (N / 20 mm) or more based on the experiences of the inventors of the present application. Can be prevented from peeling off.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc, the tape base material layer 200Bb, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Aa, the tape base material layer 200Ab, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac, the separator layer (release paper) ) In the base tape 210 having a multilayer structure of 200Ad, the pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 5.0 [N / 20 mm] to 25 [N / 20 mm] on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Aa. Is used. Thereby, the 1st tape 200B and the 2nd tape 200A can be adhered firmly, and the delamination between these 1st tape 200B and the 2nd tape 200A can be prevented. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the base tape 210, the base tape roll 215, and the RFID label generated using these can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Aa are obtained by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 6.5 [N / 20 mm] or more and 25 [N / 20 mm] or less. The first tape 200B and the second tape 200A can be more firmly bonded, and the interlayer peeling between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A can be further prevented.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, both the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A have adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba for placing the wireless tag Tg, respectively. As a result, the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A can be firmly bonded together by bonding the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba, so that the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A can be bonded together. Peeling between layers can be further prevented. Further, since the wireless tag Tg can be placed on both the tape base material layer 200Ab and the tape base material layer 200Bb using the adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba, the wireless tag Tg is continuously provided in the longitudinal direction of the tape at a predetermined interval. And can be arranged stably.

  In the above embodiment, a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 5.0 [N / 20 mm] or more and 25 [N / 20 mm] or less is used for both of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba adjacent to the wireless tag Tg. However, only the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side may be used.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the fifth embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the scope of the gist and the technical idea. For example, the layer configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, or the first modification shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 17, 19 to 21, and FIGS. 23 to 34 in the first embodiment. It is good also as a 27-layer structure. In addition, in the modification 8 shown in the said FIG. 12, although it is a layer structure without adhesive layer 200Aa, 200Ba, the adhesive of this embodiment should just be used for adhesive layer 200Bc. In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained.

  In the fifth embodiment, delamination between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A is achieved by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a predetermined slow adhesive force for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 200Aa and 200Ba adjacent to the wireless tag Tg. In the case of a so-called laminate type tape configuration in which a label is formed by laminating a cover film (printed tape) on a base tape, the present inventors have made a cover film 103. By using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a desired low-speed adhesive force for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc for adhering the adhesive, the occurrence of delamination between the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc is prevented, and the soundness of the created tag label It was found that can be maintained. Hereinafter, the detailed content is demonstrated in 6th Embodiment.

  Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The configuration of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215 of this embodiment, and the RFID label T and the like created using these are shown in FIGS. 37 to 41 of the third embodiment described above. Since it is the same as that shown in FIG.

  In the above basic configuration, as described above, the present embodiment is characterized in that the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive are obtained by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a desired slow adhesive force for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc for bonding the cover film 103. This is because the occurrence of delamination with the layer 200Bc is prevented. The details will be described below.

  The inventors of the present application performed an evaluation test for delamination with respect to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc by using various pressure-sensitive adhesives having different quick adhesive strengths. The method for measuring the slow adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive used at this time is the same as that in the fifth embodiment. The evaluation method for delamination is that each RFID label T formed into a substantially square shape of 24 mm × 24 mm using a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesives having different low-speed adhesive strengths on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc has a curved surface with a curvature of 8 mm. This was done by attaching to a cylinder and observing the delamination between the cover film 103 and the adhesive layer 200Bc after one week.

  FIG. 50A is a table showing the evaluation test results, and FIG. 50B is a graph showing the evaluation test results.

  As shown in FIG. 50, when a pressure sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 1.8 to 4.9 (N / 20 mm) is used, interlayer peeling occurs and the amount of peeling is large, but the slow adhesive force is 5 When a pressure-sensitive adhesive of 4 (N / 20 mm) or more is used, the amount of peeling can be kept small even when interlayer peeling occurs. In addition, when an adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 8.2 (N / 20 mm) or more is used, no delamination occurs.

  From the above results, the inventors of the present application have come up with the following conclusion. That is, in consideration of the normal usage form of the RFID label T, the peeling amount of 0.5 mm in this evaluation test is within an allowable range. Therefore, the lower limit value of the slow adhesive force that can prevent interlayer peeling is 5.4 ( N / 20 mm) plus a safety value based on the experience of the inventors of the present application, and the like (6.0 / N / 20 mm). On the other hand, the slow adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive generally used for producing a multilayer structure label is about 25.0 (N / 20 mm) at the maximum, and the inventors of the present application also conducted an evaluation test of 25.0 (N / 20 mm), the upper limit of the slow adhesive force is 25.0 (N / 20 mm). Therefore, it is possible to prevent delamination between the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 6.0 (N / 20 mm) or more and 25.0 (N / 20 mm) or less. it can.

  Further, as described above, when an adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 8.2 (N / 20 mm) or more was used, no delamination occurred, and the margin value based on the experience of the inventors of the present application was reduced. If it is 8.0 (N / 20 mm) or more, it is possible to more reliably prevent delamination between the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc, the tape base material layer 200Bb, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Aa, the tape base material layer 200Ab, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac, the separator layer (release paper) ) In the base tape 210 having a multilayer structure of 200Ad, a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 6.0 [N / 20 mm] to 25 [N / 20 mm] is used for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac. Thereby, in the RFID label T produced by bonding the cover film 103 to the base tape 210, the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc can be firmly bonded, and the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc. Can be prevented from peeling off. Thus, according to this embodiment, the soundness of the RFID label T generated using the base tape 210 can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive are particularly used by using a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a slow adhesive force of 8.0 [N / 20 mm] or more and 25 [N / 20 mm] or less for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ac. The layer 200Bc can be further firmly bonded, and the interlayer peeling between the cover film 103 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Bc can be further prevented.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the sixth embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical idea. For example, the layer configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, or the first modification shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 16, 23 to 26, and FIGS. 31 to 34 in the first embodiment. It is good also as a layer structure of -11, 16-19, 24-27. In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained. Furthermore, these are configured as tag tapes including the wireless tag Tg, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to ordinary label tapes that do not have the wireless tag Tg.

  In addition to the first to sixth embodiments described above, the inventors of the present application are in the vicinity of the front end portion (bonding position side end portion) of the antenna substrate in the tape transport direction when the wireless tag is inserted by the tag inserter. By pressing and attaching, it was found that generation of wrinkles at the time of bonding the first tape and the second tape can be suppressed, and the soundness of the tape, roll or label can be maintained. Hereinafter, the detailed content is demonstrated in 7th Embodiment.

  Next, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 51 is a conceptual diagram showing the overall schematic structure of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 1 and the like described above.

  In FIG. 51, the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment is transported to a position (predetermined bonding position) where the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B. Before the bonding, the adhesive layer 200Ba provided on the first tape 200B is at least near the bonding position side end of the antenna base 160 provided on the wireless tag Tg (in other words, near the front end in the tape transport direction). ) Is attached to the tag insertion device 226A (wireless tag supply device) for attaching the wireless tag Tg at a predetermined interval. The other configuration of the tag tape roll manufacturing apparatus, and the generated base tape 210 and base tape roll 215, and the configuration of the RFID label T and the like created using these are described in the third embodiment. 37 to 41, the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 52 is an enlarged view of a portion P in FIG. 51 showing how the wireless tag Tg is attached by the tag inserter 226A. In this figure, the tag side antenna 152 and the IC chip holding member 161 of the wireless tag Tg are not shown for the sake of complexity. Hereinafter, in the drawings used in this embodiment, similarly, illustration of the tag side antenna 152 and the IC chip holding member 161 is omitted as appropriate.

  In FIG. 52, the tag inserter 226A has a not-shown pressing device 250 (see FIG. 53, etc., which will be described later) provided with a pressing portion 251 that can move in the forward / backward direction with respect to the first tape 200B. The pressing device 250 presses the wireless tag Tg supplied one by one from a stacker 280 (not shown) (see FIG. 53 described later) to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B by the pressing portion 251. At this time, the pressing portion 251 presses the vicinity of the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 52) end portion of the antenna base 160 of the RFID tag Tg (hereinafter simply referred to as “antenna base 160” as appropriate). ing.

  53 (a) to 53 (c) are diagrams illustrating a procedure for attaching the wireless tag Tg to the first tape 200B by the pressing device 250 of the tag insertion device 226A.

  As shown in FIG. 53 (a), the pressing device 250 (pressing means) first presses the wireless tag Tg by pressing the pressing portion 251 against the wireless tag Tg supplied from the stacker 280 and sucking it with a vacuum means (not shown). Adsorbed to the part 251. At this time, the pressing portion 251 sucks the vicinity of the end of the antenna base 160 on the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 53). Next, as shown in FIG. 53 (b), the pressing device 250 moves to the tag mounting position in a state where the antenna base 160 is attracted to the pressing portion 251.

  In this state, when the attachment position of the wireless tag Tg is reached, the driving of the transport roller 219A (tape transport means) is stopped, and the tape transport of the first tape 200B (and the second tape 200A, the same applies below) is stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 53 (c), the pressing device 250 moves the pressing portion 251 in the direction of the first tape 200B, so that the vicinity of the bonding position side end portion of the antenna base 160 is the adhesive of the first tape 200B. Press against the layer 200Ba. Thereby, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the first tape 200B. Thereafter, although not particularly illustrated, suction by the vacuum means is stopped, the pressing portion 251 is retracted from the first tape 200B, the pressing by the pressing portion 251 is released, and the driving of the conveying roller 219A is started and the first tape is started. The 200B tape conveyance is resumed.

  The linkage control between the tape conveyance / stop operation by the conveyance roller 219A and the pressing operation of the wireless tag Tg by the pressing device 250 of the tag insertion device 226A is performed by the controller 230 (cooperation control means).

  FIG. 54 is a perspective view showing the overall structure of the stacker 280.

  In FIG. 54, a stacker 280 (orientation restricting means, storage unit) is a storage container that can store a plurality of wireless tags Tg, and each of the wireless tags Tg stored by lifting a bottom portion (not shown) one by one. Supply to the pressing device 250. Here, the antenna base 160 of the RFID tag Tg of this embodiment has a hole 162 formed at a position shifted from the center position, and the stacker 280 is inserted into the hole 162 provided in the antenna base 160. It has a projection 281 for making it. As a result, the stacker 280 can supply the RFID tag Tg to the pressing device 250 while restricting the direction of the RFID tag Tg to a desired direction. As a result, the pressing device 250 keeps the RFID tag Tg in a certain direction in the first tape 200B. Can be attached to.

  As shown in FIG. 54, in this embodiment, the length of the pressing portion 251 in the tape longitudinal direction (left and right direction in FIG. 54) is about half of the antenna base 160, and the pressing portion 251 The length in the tape width direction (the depth direction in FIG. 54) is substantially the same as the length in the width direction of the antenna substrate 160. As a result, the pressing portion 251 has an end on the other side from the end in the tape width direction about half of the bonding position side including the vicinity of the end on the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 54) of the antenna base 160. The entire area reaching the position can be pressed against the first tape 200B.

  In the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the tag inserter 226A has the antenna substrate 160 in which the RFID circuit element To is disposed between the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A to be bonded to each other. A wireless tag Tg is supplied. Then, the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are conveyed to and bonded to the bonding positions by the bonding rollers 225A and 225B, whereby the base tape 210 is generated.

  At this time, in this embodiment, the bonding position including the vicinity of the bonding position side end portion of the antenna base 160 with the pressing device 250 of the tag inserter 226A with respect to the adhesive layer 200Ba provided in the first tape 200B. Press the side. Thereby, as shown to Fig.55 (a), the edge part by the side of the bonding position of the antenna base material 160 can be firmly affixed with respect to the 1st tape 200B. As a result, as shown in FIG. 55 (b), it is possible to prevent the end of the antenna base 160 from adhering position to float from the adhesive 200Ba and prevent curling or the like. It is possible to prevent the base tape 210 from being wrinkled when the second tape 200A is bonded. Therefore, the soundness of the base tape 210 and the base tape roll 215 generated by winding the base tape 210 can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the entire area from the one side end of the antenna base 160 to the other end is pressed against the first tape 200B by the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250. Thereby, the tape width direction whole region of the antenna base material 160 can be firmly affixed with respect to adhesive layer 200Ba.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the stacker 280 regulates the direction of the wireless tag Tg to a desired direction and supplies it to the pressing device 250. Accordingly, the pressing device 250 can attach the wireless tag Tg to the first tape 200B in a certain direction. In particular, the center position of the IC chip holding member 161 is shifted in the tape longitudinal direction with respect to the center position of the antenna substrate 160 as shown in FIG. When the RFID tag Tg arranged in the direction is attached, when the RFID tag Tg is attached in the direction opposite to the longitudinal direction of the tape, the IC chip holding member 161 is shifted in the opposite direction to the desired shifting direction, and the RFID tag Tg is attached. In this case, the wireless tag Tg can be attached with the IC chip holding member 161 being surely shifted in a desired direction.

  The present invention is not limited to the seventh embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea thereof. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order.

(1) When pressing the entire area of the antenna base material in the transport direction In the above embodiment, the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250 presses the antenna substrate 160 on the bonding position side approximately half (the transport direction front side approximately half). However, it is not limited to this. That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 56, the pressing portion 251A reaches from the bonding position side end portion (right end portion in FIG. 56) of the antenna base 160 to the opposite end portion (left end portion in FIG. 56) in the tape transport direction. The wireless tag Tg may be pressed using the pressing portion 251A.

  Thereby, the tape conveyance direction whole region from the bonding position side edge part of the antenna base material 160 to the tape conveyance direction opposite side edge part can be firmly affixed with respect to adhesive layer 200Ba. As a result, not only the bonding position side end of the antenna substrate 160 but also the opposite end thereof can be prevented from floating or curling from the adhesive 200Ba, so the first tape 200B and the second tape at the bonding position. When 200A is bonded, wrinkles can be reliably prevented from occurring in the base material 210 tape. Further, as in the present modification, the entire area of the antenna base 160 is pressed from the adhesive 200Ba by pressing the entire area of the antenna base 160 in the tape transport direction and pressing the entire area in the tape width direction. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the base tape 210 from being wrinkled when the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded together at the bonding position.

(2) When tape conveyance is resumed while pressing the antenna substrate In the above embodiment, the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B is located near the end of the antenna substrate 160 at the bonding portion side by the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250. The tape conveyance of the first tape 200B is resumed after the pressure is released and the pressing is released, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, the tape transport of the first tape 200B is resumed in a pressed state, and the antenna base 160 is attached to the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B while sliding the pressing portion 251 on the antenna base 160. Also good.

  FIGS. 57A to 57D are diagrams showing a procedure for attaching the wireless tag Tg to the first tape 200B by the pressing device 250 of the tag inserter 226A in this modification.

  As shown in FIG. 57A, when the wireless tag Tg is reached, the driving of the transport roller 219A (tape transport unit) is stopped and the tape transport of the first tape 200B is stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 57 (b), the pressing device 250 moves the pressing portion 251 in the direction of the first tape 200B so that the vicinity of the end of the antenna base 160 on the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 57) is the first. Press against the adhesive layer 200Ba of one tape 200B. Then, the suction by the vacuum means is stopped, and the suction between the pressing portion 251 and the antenna substrate 160 is released.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 57 (c), in a state where the pressing by the pressing portion 251 is continued (or a slightly weakened state), the driving of the transport roller 219A is started and the tape transport of the first tape 200B is started. Resumed. Thereby, the pressing part 251 slides on the antenna base material 160 in the pressed state. As shown in FIG. 57 (d), when the pressing portion 251 reaches the end of the antenna base 160 on the side opposite to the bonding position side (left side in FIG. 57), the pressing portion 251 is moved to the first tape. Retract from 200B and release the pressing by the pressing portion 251. At this time, the tape conveyance may or may not be stopped. Thereby, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the first tape 200B.

  The linkage control between the tape conveyance / stop operation by the conveyance roller 219A and the pressing operation of the wireless tag Tg by the pressing device 250 of the tag insertion device 226A is performed by the controller 230 (cooperation control means).

  According to the modification described above, in a state where the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250 is in contact with the antenna base 160, the antenna base 160 can be slid from the bonding position side to the opposite end. it can. As a result, the entire region (that is, the entire region in the tape transport direction) from the end of the antenna base 160 to the opposite end thereof can be firmly attached to the adhesive layer 200Ba. Accordingly, the entire surface of the antenna base 160 can be prevented from being lifted or curled from the adhesive 200Ba, so that the base tape 210 is wrinkled when the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded at the bonding position. Can be surely prevented.

(3) When the antenna substrate is pressed at the front end and the rear end In the above embodiment, the vicinity of the bonding position side end of the antenna substrate 160 is applied to the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B by the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250. The first tape 200B and the second tape 200A are bonded to each other without pressing again after pressing and releasing the pressing, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, when the end of the antenna base 160 on the side opposite to the bonding position side is reached by tape conveyance, the pressing may be performed again.

  58 (a) to 58 (f) are diagrams showing a procedure for attaching the wireless tag Tg to the first tape 200B by the pressing device 250 of the tag inserter 226A in the present modification.

  As shown in FIG. 58 (a), when the wireless tag Tg is reached, the driving of the transport roller 219A (tape transport means) is stopped and the tape transport of the first tape 200B is stopped. Then, as shown in FIG. 58 (b), the pressing device 250 moves the pressing portion 251 in the direction of the first tape 200B so that the vicinity of the end of the antenna base 160 on the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 58) is first. Press against the adhesive layer 200Ba of one tape 200B.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 58 (c), suction by the vacuum means is stopped, and the pressing portion 251 is retracted from the first tape 200B to release the pressing. Then, as shown in FIG. 58 (d), the driving of the transport roller 219A is started to restart the tape transport of the first tape 200B, and the pressing portion 251 is on the side opposite to the bonding position side of the antenna base 160 (see FIG. The tape drive is stopped when the end of 58) is reached.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 58 (e), the pressing portion 251 is moved in the direction of the first tape 200B, and the antenna substrate 160 opposite to the bonding position side (left side in FIG. 58) near the end is first. Press against the adhesive layer 200Ba of the tape 200B. Then, as shown in FIG. 58 (f), the pressing portion 251 is retracted from the first tape 200B to release the pressing. Thereby, the wireless tag Tg is attached to the first tape 200B.

  The linkage control between the tape conveyance / stop operation by the conveyance roller 219A and the pressing operation of the wireless tag Tg by the pressing device 250 of the tag insertion device 226A is performed by the controller 230 (cooperation control means).

  According to the modification described above, the bonding position side end of the antenna base 160 and the opposite end thereof can be firmly bonded to the adhesive layer 200Ba of the first tape 200B. As a result, not only the bonding position side end of the antenna substrate 160 but also the opposite end thereof can be prevented from floating or curling from the adhesive 200Ba, so the first tape 200B and the second tape at the bonding position. It is possible to reliably prevent the base tape 210 from being wrinkled when 200A is bonded.

(4) In the case of using a pressing unit that prevents sticking to the adhesive layer In the above embodiment, the antenna substrate 160 is attached to the first tape 200B by the pressing unit 251 of the pressing unit 250, although not particularly considered. It is good also as a structure which can suppress sticking with respect to adhesive layer 200Ba of the press part 251 at the time of pressing on layer 200Ba.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 59, a pressing portion 251B having a chamfered corner at the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 59) on the side in contact with the antenna base 160 may be used. Accordingly, when the pressing portion 251B is brought into contact with the bonding position side end of the antenna base 160 and pressed against the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba, the corner of the bonding position side end of the pressing portion 251B is the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Sticking to 200Ba can be prevented. In this example, only the corner at the end of the bonding position side (right side in FIG. 59) is chamfered, but the corner at the opposite end (left side in FIG. 59) may be chamfered. Furthermore, not only the tape conveyance direction (left and right direction in FIG. 59) but also the both ends of the tape width direction (depth direction in FIG. 59) may be chamfered. In these cases, it is possible to prevent the corners of the end portions on each side of the pressing portion 251 from sticking to the adhesive layer 200Ba. In addition, in FIG. 59, although the case where the corner was chamfered flat was illustrated, it is not restricted to this, You may chamfer to a curved surface shape.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 60, a pressing portion 251 </ b> C having a coating portion 252 that has been subjected to a peeling process at least on the side in contact with the antenna base 160 may be used. Thus, when the pressing portion 251C is brought into contact with the bonding position side end of the antenna base 160 and pressed against the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 200Ba, the corner or the like of the bonding position side end of the pressing portion 251C is the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. It can suppress sticking to 200Ba. In addition, by providing the coating portion 252 in this way, for example, when the tape is transported by sliding the pressing portion 251 in contact with the antenna base 160 as shown in FIG. There is also an effect of improving the sliding with the base material 160.

(5) Modified example of direction regulating means for regulating the mounting direction of the antenna substrate In the above embodiment, the stacker 280 has the protrusion 281, and this is inserted into the hole 162 provided in the antenna substrate 160. Thus, the direction of the wireless tag Tg is regulated to a desired direction and can be supplied to the pressing device 250. However, other arrangements for the direction regulation means of the antenna base 160 are also conceivable.

  FIG. 61 is a perspective view showing the overall structure of the stacker 280A of this modification. As shown in FIG. 61, in this modified example, the antenna base 160 of the wireless tag Tg has a chamfered portion 163 at at least one corner, and the stacker 280A (orientation restricting means, storage portion) has its antenna base. An engaging portion 282 that can engage with the chamfered portion 163 of the material 160 is provided. Accordingly, the stacker 280A can regulate the direction of the wireless tag Tg to a desired direction and supply it to the pressing device 250. As a result, the pressing device 250 keeps the wireless tag Tg in the fixed direction with the first tape 200B. Can be attached to.

(6) In the case where the IC circuit unit is arranged in a deviation position on the antenna substrate bonding position side In the above embodiment, the arrangement of the IC circuit unit (IC chip holding member 161 in this embodiment) with respect to the antenna substrate 160 is not particularly mentioned. However, the inventors of the present application press and attach the vicinity of the front end portion (bonding position side end portion) of the antenna base 160 in the tape transport direction when the RFID tag Tg is inserted by the tag inserter 226A as in the above embodiment. The present inventors have found that the effect of suppressing the generation of wrinkles can be enhanced by arranging the planar position of the IC circuit portion with respect to the antenna substrate 160 at an appropriate position. The details will be described below.

  FIG. 62 is a diagram showing a state in which the base tape 210 is unwound from the first roll 102 (equivalent to the base tape roll 215) around which the base tape 210 is wound in the RFID circuit element cartridge 100. FIG. 45 is a view corresponding to FIG. 44 described above, showing an enlarged view of the wireless tag Tg showing the positional relationship of the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna base 160 in the wireless tag Tg of the present embodiment. In FIG. 62, the same parts as those in FIG.

  In FIG. 62, in this modification, the IC chip holding member 161 is deviated with respect to the antenna base 160 so that the values of the distance Ha and the distance Hb are within the range shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 62, in this modification, the center position 160a of the antenna substrate 160 is opposite to the case shown in FIG. 44 described above, that is, mainly on the side opposite to the tape feeding direction (roll core side). The IC chip holding member 161 is arranged with respect to the antenna base 160 so that the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161 deviates by a distance H.

  The inventors of the present application pressed the base tape 210 near the front end portion (the end portion on the bonding position side) of the antenna base 160 in the tape transport direction when the wireless tag Tg was inserted by the tag inserter 226A as in the above embodiment. Under the conditions to be generated, for the plurality of wireless tags Tg having different tape longitudinal direction dimensions 2L and tape width direction dimensions 2M of the antenna base material 160, the combination of the distance Ha and the distance Hb is changed and the antenna base material 160 is changed. By changing the distance H between the center position 160a and the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161, the presence or absence of wrinkles during the bonding of the first tape 200B and the second tape 200A is evaluated for a number of cases. did. Note that, in this evaluation test, as shown in FIG. 63A, the RFID tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction, and FIG. As shown in (b), the test was performed both in the case where the RFID tag Tg was arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protruded from the inner peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. As a result, when the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L is within a predetermined range with respect to the tape longitudinal dimension, the first with respect to the tape width dimension is when the ratio of the distance Hb with respect to the distance M is within a predetermined range. It has been found that the generation of wrinkles at the time of bonding of the tape 200B and the second tape 200A (hereinafter, appropriately described as “tape bonding”) can be suppressed.

  FIG. 64 is a table showing the evaluation test results. In this table, the range in which the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) is a negative value indicates that the IC chip holding member 161 is in the feeding direction of the base tape (left direction in FIG. 62) as described above. In the range where Ha / L is a positive value, the IC chip holding member 161 is in the roll core direction of the base tape (right direction in FIG. 62). This indicates a case where the distance Ha is deviated. Further, as described above, the ratio of the distance Hb to the distance M (Hb / M) is different from the Ha / L as described above, and the distance Hb is deviated on both sides of the tape width direction on one side and the other side within the range of the value. Including the case where it is arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 64, with respect to the tape longitudinal dimension, the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) should be in the range of −0.2 or more and 0.9 or less (excluding 0). Thus, the occurrence of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of bonding the tape can be minimized. Moreover, if Ha / L is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.8, wrinkling of the base tape 210 during tape bonding can be more effectively suppressed. Furthermore, if the Ha / L is in the range of 0.2 or more and 0.7 or less, the occurrence of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of tape bonding can be most effectively suppressed.

  The result in the tape width direction is the same as the result shown in FIG. 46 described above, and the ratio of the distance Hb to the distance M (Hb / M) is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.9. Thus, the occurrence of wrinkles of the base tape 210 at the time of bonding the tape can be minimized. Moreover, if Hb / M is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5, wrinkling of the base tape 210 during tape bonding can be more effectively suppressed. Furthermore, if the Hb / M is in the range of greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.3, the occurrence of wrinkling of the base tape 210 during tape bonding can be most effectively suppressed.

  Furthermore, the above results are applicable values even when the RFID tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes to either the outer peripheral side or inner peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. However, the inventors of the present application, especially when the wireless tag Tg is arranged so that the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction, is wrinkled at the time of roll winding. It was found that the effect of suppressing the occurrence was greater.

  According to this modification having the above configuration, the center position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161 is separated from the center position 160a of the corresponding antenna base 160 by a predetermined distance H that satisfies the condition shown in FIG. Further, by arranging the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna substrate 160, it is possible to obtain the effect of suppressing the generation of wrinkles. The details will be described next.

  That is, in this embodiment, in each wireless tag Tg, a predetermined distance H (distances Ha, Hb) that satisfies the condition of FIG. 64 with respect to the central position 160a of the antenna base 160 corresponding to the central position 161a of the IC chip holding member 161. ). As a result, the IC chip holding member 161 can be positioned in the vicinity of the end of the antenna base 160 on the bonding position side. As a result, the thickness in the tape thickness direction of the end portion of the antenna base 160 on the bonding position side increases, and the antenna base 160 is attached by pressing the vicinity of the end with the pressing portion 251 of the pressing device 250. The end portion on the alignment position side can be more firmly attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than in the above embodiment. Therefore, the effect of preventing wrinkle generation can be further enhanced.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, for example, the tape longitudinal direction position of the end portion of the IC chip holding member 161 on the tape feeding direction side is opposite to the feeding direction with respect to the tape longitudinal direction center position of the antenna base 160 (roll core). By arranging the IC chip holding member 161 with respect to the antenna substrate 160 so as to be located on the direction side), it is possible to obtain the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles. As described above, the planar dimension of the IC chip holding member 161 used by the inventors of the present application is about 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm to 2 mm × 3 mm, and the planar dimension of the antenna substrate 160 is 15 mm × 24 mm to Since it is about 18 mm × 44 mm, by adopting the above arrangement, the ratio of the distance Ha to the distance L (Ha / L) is in the range of greater than 0 to 0.8 or less, or in the range of 0.2 to 0.7. Because it can be.

  In the present embodiment, the IC chip holding member 161 is particularly preferably arranged so as to protrude from the outer peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction. As described in the fourth embodiment, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) is disposed so as to protrude from the antenna substrate 160 toward the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound. Accordingly, the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151) can be disposed on the outer diameter side of the roll having a relatively small curvature. As a result, the tape thickness depends on the thickness of the IC chip holding member 161 (IC circuit portion 151). It is because the influence of the change of can be reduced. Therefore, the effect of preventing the generation of wrinkles can be further enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, even when the IC chip holding member 161 is arranged so as to protrude from the inner peripheral side of the antenna base 160 in the roll winding direction, the effect of preventing wrinkles can be obtained. This is also for the same reason as described in the fourth embodiment, and the base tape 210 is formed by disposing the IC chip holding member 161 so as to protrude toward the inner peripheral side in the roll winding direction. This is because an extra circumferential length for covering the thickness of the IC chip holding member 161 is necessary on the inner side in the radial direction, and the occurrence of the slack on the inner side in the radial direction can be prevented.

(7) Others In the above embodiment, the case where the RFID tag Tg is attached to the first tape 200B with the tag inserter 226A has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as in the case shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied when the tag Tg is attached to the second tape 200A side (for example, the adhesive layer 200Aa).

  The present invention is not limited to the layer configuration described in the seventh embodiment, and can be applied to various configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical idea. For example, the layer configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the first embodiment described above, or the first modification shown in FIGS. 5 to 13, 15 to 17, 19 to 21, and FIGS. 23 to 34 in the first embodiment. It is good also as a 27-layer structure. In this case, the RFID tag Tg is preferably arranged in a direction in which the IC chip holding member 161 protrudes toward the outer peripheral side when the roll is wound with respect to the antenna base 160 as shown in FIG. . In these cases, in addition to the effects of the present embodiment, the effects of the first embodiment and the effects unique to each modification can be obtained.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.
