  By the way, in Patent Document 1, a metal foil sheet is provided by providing a heating means at the time of foil pressing, and moving a foil pressing die (foil pressing plate: chase) heated to a predetermined temperature by the heating means up and down at the foil pressing position. Is pressed against the base material sheet, and a predetermined pattern made of metal foil is transferred to the base material sheet. Therefore, as for the quality of the label, which is the final product based on the transfer, depending on the material of the base sheet, the sense of unity between the base sheet and the metal foil may be difficult. It was difficult to produce a label (Eubrian label) having a high-quality pattern that was beautiful and brilliant.

  Conventional foil stamping plates are made of copper, brass, aluminum, magnesium, or the like, but it is difficult to form fine patterns with these materials.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of these problems, and a label manufacturing method and foil stamping that can easily produce a label product having a high-quality design, with a sense of unity between the base sheet and the metal foil. The purpose is to provide a version.

  In order to achieve the object, the invention according to claim 1 is configured such that the base sheet and the metal foil sheet are conveyed to a foil pressing position, and the metal foil sheet is pressed against the base sheet by a foil pressing plate heated at the position. In the method for producing a label by transferring a predetermined pattern, the substrate sheet is softened by applying heat from a heating member before transferring at a foil pressing position. The invention according to claim 2 conveys a base sheet made of film, paper, synthetic paper or the like to a foil pressing position, and presses a foil pressing plate heated at the position, whereby a predetermined surface is applied to the surface of the base sheet. In the method of transferring a design and producing a label, before transferring at a foil pressing position, the substrate sheet is softened by applying heat from a heating member.

  The invention described in claim 3 is a foil-pressing plate used in the label manufacturing method described in claim 1 or 2, and is made of steel containing carbon.

  As described above, according to the label manufacturing method of the first aspect of the present invention, since the base sheet is softened by applying heat from the heating member before transferring at the foil pressing position, the base sheet material Regardless of the above, it is possible to easily press the metal foil by heating the base sheet. Or according to the manufacturing method of the label of Claim 2, it becomes possible to make it easy to press the plate for foil pressing with respect to the heated base material sheet. Therefore, it is possible to expect an excellent effect that it is possible to manufacture a label having a high-quality pattern that is beautiful and brilliant, such as a diamond cut, which has been difficult in the past. Further, according to the foil stamping plate according to claim 3, since the plate is made of steel containing carbon, it is possible to form a finer pattern than the conventional plate. Therefore, it is possible to expect an excellent effect that a more beautiful pattern can be formed than that formed by a conventional plate.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a configuration of an apparatus for producing a label. Reference numeral 1 denotes a base sheet roll wound around a winding shaft 2 in a roll shape, and a base sheet 3 fed out from the roll is intermittently conveyed to the apparatus main body 4 side. The base sheet 3 is made of, for example, paper or a resin film. 5 is a metal foil sheet roll wound around the winding shaft 6 in a roll shape, and a metal foil sheet 7 fed out from the roll is intermittently conveyed to the apparatus main body 4 side. Before the metal foil sheet 7 is conveyed to the apparatus main body 4, the metal foil sheet 7 is pressed against the surface of the base material sheet 3 by being pressed by a pair of press rollers 8 and 9. The metal foil sheet 7 is made of, for example, an aluminum foil sheet.

  The apparatus body 4 is provided with a foil stamping device 10 and a cutting device 11 along the sheet conveyance direction. The foil stamping device 10 has a foil pressing plate 12 heated by a heating means (not shown) on the lower surface so as to be movable up and down, and the metal foil sheet 7 polymerized and conveyed by the plate on the base sheet 3 at the foil pressing position. When it stops, it presses and transfers a predetermined pattern. The plate 12 is made by etching a steel containing carbon resistant to heat. Therefore, it is possible to form a finer pattern than the conventional plate.

  The cutting device 11 includes a cutting blade 13 on the lower surface so that the cutting blade 13 can be moved up and down, and a metal foil sheet 7 transferred and conveyed by the cutting blade on the base sheet 3 as a foil pressing transfer portion corresponding to the outline of the label and A cut-out line is formed when stopped at the cut-out position so that it can be separated from other parts. The metal foil sheet 7 having a portion other than the transfer portion on which the cut line is formed is separated from the base sheet 3 after passing through the separation roller 14, separated along the cut line, and wound around the winding shaft 15 in a roll shape. It is done. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the base material sheet 3 having the foil stamping transfer portion 3a is sent as it is to a stock section (not shown) as a product.

  Reference numeral 17 denotes a heating member that heats and softens the base sheet 3 by contact from its lower surface before pressing the foil. The reason why such a heating member 17 is provided is to facilitate pressing of the foil. As the heating member 17, a member having an appropriate shape and structure such as a plate-like member can be employed in addition to the roller-like member as illustrated. The roller shape has an advantage that the contact resistance with the base sheet 3 can be reduced and the base sheet 3 can be smoothly conveyed. The heating temperature is appropriately set to an optimum temperature in consideration of the material of the base sheet 3 and the like. Moreover, in this Embodiment, although only the base material sheet 3 is heated with the heating member 17, another heating member may be provided and the metal foil sheet 7 may also be heated. Thereby, the heating temperature management with respect to the metal foil sheet 7 which only receives the heat from the base material sheet 3 indirectly is possible only by the heating member 17, and fine control by the difference in material can be performed.

  Next, a method for producing a label in the apparatus as described above will be described. The base material sheet 3 and the metal foil sheet 7 fed out from the both winding shafts 2 and 6 are pressed between the pressure rollers 8 and 9 and are intermittently sent to the apparatus main body 4 side while being superposed with each other. At the time of this conveyance, the base material sheet 3 is heated from the lower surface side by the heating member 17, and the metal foil sheet 7 is also sent to the foil pressing device 10 in a state where it is heated by receiving heat from the base material sheet 3 indirectly.

  In the foil stamping device 10, when stopped at the foil stamping position, the plate 12 is moved down by a vertical movement mechanism (not shown), and predetermined symbols such as characters and figures formed on the plate 12 are transferred to the surface of the metal foil sheet 7. At the time of this transfer, the base material sheet 3 on which the metal foil sheet 7 is overlaid is heated by the heating member 17 to be soft, and the metal foil sheet 7 is also heated by receiving the heat indirectly by polymerization. Even if the foil is easy to press and the design is fine, the foil can be pressed well. The pressed base material sheet 3 and the metal foil sheet 7 are further transported and sent to the cutting device 11.

  In the cutting device 11, the cutting blade 13 is moved down by a vertical movement mechanism (not shown) when stopped at the cutting position, so that the metal foil sheet 7 can be separated into a foil pressing transfer portion and other portions on the base material sheet 3. Make a cut line as shown. The metal foil sheet 7 having a portion other than the transfer portion in which the cut line is inserted is separated from the base material sheet 3 after passing through the separation roller 14, and is wound around the winding shaft 15. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the foil stamping transfer portion 3a to which a predetermined pattern has been transferred is sent to the stock portion in a state where it is affixed to the surface of the base sheet 3 at a predetermined interval, and is used as a label. It becomes. Note that the label that is commercialized and sent to the stock portion may be wound around a winding shaft (not shown) in the form of a sheet roll in the same manner as the metal foil sheet 7 having a portion other than the transfer portion.

  The vertical movement mechanism of the plate 12 and the vertical movement mechanism of the cutting blade 13 may be operated in synchronization with each other. That is, the positions where the base material sheet 3 and the metal foil sheet 7 that are intermittently conveyed are stopped are the foil pressing position and the cutting position, and the plate 12 and the cutting blade 13 are moved downward synchronously when stopped at both positions simultaneously. , Foil stamping and cutout respectively. Also, it is not always necessary to provide a vertical movement mechanism, and the same vertical movement mechanism may be used.

  As shown in an enlarged view of an example of the design in FIG. 3, the product label has a deeply transcribed design with diamonds cut and beautifully shining. Such a deep design label cannot be seen at all in the conventional label, and in that sense, it is rich in novelty and elegant.

  As described above, according to this manufacturing method, it is possible to manufacture a label (Eubrian label) having a high-quality design in which a diamond, which has been difficult in the past, is cut and beautifully brilliantly shining, is being developed in the label industry. It will cause a periodical whirlwind. In addition, according to the foil stamping plate used in this manufacturing method, since it is made of steel containing carbon resistant to heat, the pattern can be formed finely, and even more than that formed with the conventional plate. Enables the formation of beautiful designs.

  In this embodiment, the base sheet 3 and the metal foil sheet 7 are polymerized and conveyed to the foil pressing position, and the metal foil sheet 7 is pressed against the base sheet 3 by the foil pressing plate 12 heated at the position. Although the predetermined pattern is transferred, only the base sheet 3 may be conveyed and the plate 12 may be pressed directly on the substrate sheet 3 to transfer the predetermined pattern. In this case, the material of the base sheet 3 is preferably a film, paper, synthetic paper, or the like that can easily transfer the pattern. Thus, even if only the base sheet 3 is used, the base sheet 3 is heated and softened by the heating member 17, so that the design is directly transferred to the surface simply by pressing the plate 12. Even if it compares with what pressed the metal foil sheet 7, it will become inferior.

  In the said embodiment, the material of the base material sheet 3 and the metal foil sheet | seat 7 can employ | adopt a suitably preferable thing as described also in detailed description. Further, the constituent members such as the foil stamping device 10, the cutting device 11, and the heating member 17 are only a preferable example, and various changes and modifications can be made in the implementation.

It is the schematic which shows the structure of the apparatus for manufacturing the label of one Embodiment of this invention. It is a fragmentary perspective view of the base sheet (label) pressed by foil. It is drawing which expands and shows an example of the design of the manufactured label.
