    The present invention has been considered in view of the above problems, and is a label punching blade and punching capable of preventing the adhesive layer from leaching to the outside of the adhesive layer from the cut end portion of the label base material. It is an object to provide a method.

    In addition, the present invention avoids the trouble that the label base material sticks to the back side of the mount even when the label is rolled as a product, and the jamming and printing trouble when loading and printing on the printer. It is an object of the present invention to provide a label punching blade and a punching method that are made possible.

    Another object of the present invention is to provide a label punching blade and a punching method capable of confining the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at the cut end portion of the label base material.

    That is, the present invention pays attention to providing a stepped shape to the punching blade and enabling the stepped portion to push the adhesive into the label substrate. For a label having a label base material, an adhesive layer formed on the back surface of the label base material, and a mount temporarily attached to the adhesive layer, from above the label base material toward the mount. A label punching blade for cutting the label base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a cut portion capable of cutting the label base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; A label punching blade having a pair of inclined pressing portions that are connected and capable of pressing the cut end portion of the cut label base material toward the mount side.

    A second aspect of the invention relates to a label having a label base material, an adhesive layer formed on the back surface of the label base material, and a mount temporarily attached to the adhesive layer, from above the label base material. A label punching method for cutting the label base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by driving a punching blade toward the mount, wherein the punching blade cuts the label base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. And a pair of inclined pressing portions that are connected to the left and right of the cut portion and that can press the cut end portion of the cut label base material to the mount side, and the inclined pressing portion. The cut end portion of the label base material is pressed to the mount side by the portion so that the adhesive of the adhesive layer is confined between the label base material and the mount at the cut end portion portion. Specially It is a punching method for the labels to be.

    The length of the cut portion in the punching direction of the punching blade can be made equal to the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

    The length of the inclined pressing portion in the punching direction of the punching blade can be made equal to the thickness of the label base material.

    The inclined pressing portion may have a tapered shape toward a blade boundary portion between the inclined pressing portion and the cut portion.

    The inclined pressing portion can press the cut end portion of the label base material toward the mount so that the adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer does not ooze out from the cut end portion.

The present invention is particularly effective when the label substrate is a very thin film having a thickness of several tens of μm (for example, about 60 to 80 μm).
The present invention is particularly effective when the pressure-sensitive adhesive in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is of a relatively weak viscosity type such as frozen paste.

    In the label punching blade and punching method according to the present invention, the label punching blade is connected to the cut portion and to the left and right of the cut portion, and the cut end portion of the cut label base material can be pressed to the mount side. Since a pair of such inclined pressing portions are provided, the adhesive can be confined between the label base material and the mount at the cut end portion, thereby preventing the adhesive from leaching to the outside.

    In particular, according to the first invention, a pair of slopes that are connected to the punching blade of the label, the cut portion, and the left and right sides of the cut portion, and capable of pressing the cut end portion of the cut label base material to the mount side. Since the pressing portion is provided, it is possible to form a cut end that can confine the adhesive between the label base material and the mount and prevent the adhesive from leaching to the outside.

In particular, according to the second invention, the cut end portion of the label base material is pressed to the mount side by the inclined pressing portion, and the adhesive of the adhesive layer is interposed between the label base material and the mount in the cut end portion portion. Since it is made to confine, the label can be cut without the adhesive sticking out from the cut end portion.

    The present invention provides a stepped shape (cut portion and inclined pressing portion) to the punching blade so that the stepped portion (particularly the inclined pressing portion) can push the adhesive into the label substrate. As a result, a label punching blade and a punching method that prevent the adhesive leaching phenomenon have been realized.

Next, a label punching blade 10 and a punching method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, the same parts as those in FIGS. 4 to 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the cross section of the label 1 (FIG. 4) and the punching blade 10. The punching blade 10 has a blade base portion 11 and a cut portion 12 formed at the center of the tip portion of the blade base portion 11. And a pair of inclined pressing portions 13.

    The blade base 11 is a main body having a width W of about 0.5 to 1.0 mm, for example, and reciprocates toward the punching table 6.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the punching blade 10 is driven toward the label base material 3 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, and the cutting portion 12 has a cutting edge 12 </ b> A reaching the surface portion of the mount 5 ( However, the label base 3 and the adhesive layer 4 can be separated and cut without the cutting edge 2A cutting the mount 5).
The length L1 of the cutting part 12 in the punching direction of the punching blade 10 (that is, the length from the cutting edge 12A to the blade boundary part 14 between the cutting part 12 and the inclined pressing part 13) is determined as an adhesive. The thickness of the layer 4 is the same.

The inclined pressing portion 13 is connected to the left and right of the cut portion 12 and mounts the cut end portion 3A of the label base material 3 cut in a tapered shape toward the blade boundary portion 14 between the inclined press portion 12 and the cut portion 12. It can be pressed down to the 5th side. The inclined shape of the inclined pressing portion 13 may be linear or curved as long as the shape in the vicinity of the blade boundary portion 14 can press the cut end 3A toward the mount 5 side. Absent.
The length L2 of the inclined pressing portion 13 in the punching direction of the punching blade 10 (that is, the length from the blade boundary portion 14 to the base boundary portion 15 between the blade base portion 11 and the inclined pressing portion 13) is as follows. This is made equal to the thickness of the label substrate 3.
Thus, the inclined pressing portion 13 is deformed so that the cut end portion 3A of the label base material 3 is pressed to the mount 5 side when the label 1 is punched, and the adhesive 4A of the adhesive layer 4 is immersed from the cut end portion 3A to the outside. Do not stick out.

    In the punching blade 10 having such a configuration, as shown particularly in FIG. 2, the cut end 3 </ b> A of the label substrate 3 is pressed to the mount 5 side by the inclined pressing portion 13, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive 4 </ b> A of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is cut to the cut end. The portion 3A is confined between the label substrate 3 and the mount 5.

    FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the punching blade 10 has been pulled out from the portion of the label 1. As a result of maintaining this deformed shape by the rigidity of the label substrate 3 itself, the adhesive 4A of the adhesive layer 4 can be confined between the cut end 3A and the mount 5 at the cut end 3A.

Accordingly, the adhesive 4A is not exposed to the outside at the cut end portion 3A, and remains in the adhesive layer 4 without leaching out from the cut end portion 3A, as shown in FIG. Even if it is in the form of being wound around the roll-shaped label 1A, it is possible to avoid a situation where the adhesive 4A adheres to the back surface of the mount 5 located on the outer peripheral side.
Of course, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of jamming or printing trouble even when the label 1 is loaded in an arbitrary printer and the printing operation is performed.

It is sectional drawing which shows the punching blade 10 and the label 1 of the label by the Example of this invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the punching blade 10 is driven toward the label base material 3 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the punching blade 10 is pulled out from the portion of the label 1. FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the conventional label 1 and the punching blade 2. FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the punching blade 2 is driven toward the label base material 3 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the punching blade 2 is pulled out from the portion of the label 1.
