Description

  The present invention relates to a labeled container in which a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is mounted on a container.

Conventionally, various containers are used to accommodate food, beverages, cosmetics, sanitary products, and the like.
In addition, a container with a label in which a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label on which an advertisement or a cautionary note for a product is displayed is attached to the container by heat shrinking is also widely used. This heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is in close contact with the outer surface of the container by its own shrinkage force (clamping force). Therefore, even if the container is cracked, the container is not actually cracked by the tightening force of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to find cracks in the container.

In view of such problems, Patent Document 1 proposes a container with a label as follows.
That is, in the container with a label of Patent Document 1, a chamfered portion is formed between the barrel portion and the bottom portion of the glass bottle, the lower end of the shrink label is locked to the chamfered portion or the bottom portion, and a plurality of vertical portions are attached to the barrel portion of the glass bottle. A groove is formed, the upper end of the vertical groove is located below the upper end of the shrink label, and the lower end of the vertical groove is located above the lower end of the shrink label. Communication holes that communicate with each other are formed at a position near the lower end of the longitudinal groove and at an upper position that is a predetermined distance above the position near the lower end.
The shrink label has two horizontal perforations extending in the circumferential direction, and a pair of vertical perforations extending in the vertical direction from the upper end of the shrink label to the upper horizontal perforation.

In such a labeled container, the upper half area of the shrink label is divided into right and left using a pair of vertical perforations, and then the upper half area of the shrink label is removed using the upper horizontal perforation. Can be opened.
In Patent Document 1, when a crack occurs in the container, the liquid flows downward from the vertical groove of the container and leaks to the outside through the insertion hole of the shrink label. It is described that it can be found.

  However, in the labeled container of Patent Document 1, a container in which a longitudinal groove is formed must be used, and there is a problem that the shape of the container is limited. Further, when the filling material contained in the container is not a liquid, the filling material does not leak out of the label, so that there is a problem that a crack of the container cannot be found. Moreover, when the crack of a container is slight (in the case of an incomplete crack), there exists a possibility that a liquid may not leak by the fastening force of a shrink label. For this reason, in the container with a label of patent document 1, even when a filling is a liquid, the crack of a container may not be discovered.

JP 2005-239246 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a labeled container in which a crack of the container can be easily found regardless of the shape of the container or the type of the packing in the labeled container in which the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is heat-shrink mounted on the container. It is to be.

  The labeled container of the present invention has a cylindrical body obtained by forming a heat-shrinkable film into a cylindrical shape, and has a transverse cutting auxiliary line, an inclined cutting auxiliary line and a pair of first lines in the plane of the cylindrical body. And a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label on which a second vertical cutting auxiliary line is formed, and a container on which the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is heat-shrink mounted, and for the first and second vertical cutting The auxiliary lines extend in the vertical direction from an in-plane midway portion to a lower portion of the cylindrical body, and the horizontal cutting auxiliary line has a first end portion at an upper end portion of the first vertical cutting auxiliary line. The second end is connected to the upper end of the second longitudinal cutting auxiliary line from the first end of the cylindrical body, and the inclined cutting auxiliary. The lower end of the line is connected to the first end of the auxiliary line for horizontal cutting or the first of the auxiliary line for horizontal cutting It is located in the vicinity of the end portion and extends upwardly from the lower end portion thereof toward the other side in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical body. The auxiliary line for transverse cutting, the lower edge of the cylindrical body, the first and second vertical lengths A part or the whole of the inner surface of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label in the region surrounded by the auxiliary cutting line is bonded to the outer surface of the container via an adhesive.

  In the above-mentioned container with a label, a part of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is picked with a finger, and is drawn out to the outside and one side in the circumferential direction so as to draw an arc around the container, thereby heat-shrinking according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line. The cut cylindrical label is cut and a cutting line is generated. Further, when the cutting line reaches the lower end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is cut according to the horizontal cutting auxiliary line. Further, when the cutting line reaches the second end of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is cut according to the second vertical cutting auxiliary line and the first vertical cutting auxiliary line, respectively. .

Thus, in the plane of the cylindrical body, an upper region above the horizontal cutting auxiliary line, and a belt-like region between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line, Can be easily removed from the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label.
By removing the upper region and the strip region, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is completely divided, so that the tightening force of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label on the container is released. By releasing the tightening force, if the container is cracked, the container is actually cracked, so that the container can be easily detected.
In addition, since a part or the whole of the inner surface of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is bonded to the outer surface of the container via an adhesive, the heat-shrinkable tube can be used even after removing the upper region and the belt-like region as described above. The remaining part of the label does not come off the container.

  A preferred labeled container according to the present invention has a center seal part in which the cylindrical body is bonded by overlapping both end portions of the heat-shrinkable film, and the first vertical cutting auxiliary line and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line. A line is formed across the center seal portion.

The center seal portion is a thick portion where the films overlap. For this reason, in general, it is difficult to cut across the center seal portion, and the cylindrical body is easily cut along the side edge of the center seal portion.
In the preferable labeled container, the first vertical cutting auxiliary line and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line are formed with a thick center seal portion interposed therebetween. For this reason, even if the cutting line generated when cutting the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is disconnected from the first vertical cutting auxiliary line and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line, it is cut along both side edges of the center seal portion. The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label can be reliably divided.

  In another preferable labeled container of the present invention, the inclined cutting auxiliary line is a perforated line having a plurality of through-hole portions and non-through portions alternately, and one of the through-hole portions of the inclined cutting auxiliary line is The cylindrical body is formed across the side edge of the center seal portion on the other circumferential side.

As described above, it is generally difficult to cut a thick center seal portion so as to cross the center seal portion.
In the other preferred labeled container, since the through-hole portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line is formed across the side edge of the center seal portion, the through-hole portion cuts the center seal portion, and Become. For this reason, it can cut | disconnect across a center seal | sticker part according to the auxiliary line for inclination cutting.

  In another preferable labeled container of the present invention, the adhesive is provided at least on the inner surface in the vicinity of the first longitudinal cutting auxiliary line and in the vicinity of the second vertical cutting auxiliary line.

  This preferred labeled container can prevent the side edges of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label from curling after the strip region of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is removed.

  In the labeled container according to the present invention, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is attached to the container, but it is possible to easily find a crack in the container. Moreover, according to this invention, the crack of a container can be discovered irrespective of the shape of a container and the kind of filling.

In addition, as a term indicating a direction, “up” refers to a direction away from a self-supported surface in a vertical direction with reference to a self-supported labeled container. “Lower” refers to the direction approaching the self-supported surface with the labeled container in the same state as a reference. “Vertical direction” refers to the axial direction of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label with reference to the container with the label in the same state, and “circumferential direction” refers to the heat-shrinkable property with respect to the container with the label in the same state. The direction around the axis of the cylindrical label.
When the first vertical cutting auxiliary line, the second vertical cutting auxiliary line, the horizontal cutting auxiliary line, and the inclined cutting auxiliary line are collectively referred to, they are simply referred to as cutting auxiliary lines.
In addition, in the present specification, the description “Exhibit A to B” means from A to B.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a labeled container including a container 2 and a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 attached to at least a body portion 21 of the container 2 by heat shrinkage.
The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 has a tubular body 31 obtained by forming a heat-shrinkable film into a tubular shape. Within the surface of the cylindrical body 31, a pair of vertical cutting auxiliary lines (first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42) extending in the vertical direction, and horizontal cutting extending in the circumferential direction. An auxiliary line 5 and an inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 extending at an inclination are formed.
The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is attached to the container 2 by heat shrinkage, and is further partially bonded to the outer surface of the container 2 via an adhesive portion 7 provided on the inner surface of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3. Has been.

The container 2 is formed of a material (for example, glass or earthenware) that can crack, and the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 can be heat-shrinkable on the outer surface thereof.
For example, the container 2 includes a cylindrical body portion 21, a neck portion 22 formed above the body portion 21, and a cap portion 23 that is detachable from the neck portion 22 and closes the opening of the container 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the container 2 shown in the figure has a barrel portion 21 and a neck portion 22 that are cylindrical and the neck portion 22 has a smaller diameter than the barrel portion 21, and a cap portion 23 is attached to the neck portion 22 by a screw action. It is done. But the shape of the container 2 is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to a container having a three-dimensional curved body (for example, a brush-type container or a bowl-shaped container having a body bulging outward). In the present invention, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is attached to the container, and the tightening force is released to find the crack of the container. Therefore, the body having a three-dimensional curved surface that could not be conventionally attached with a paper label or a tack label It is possible to display the label.

The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is heat-shrink-mounted from the body portion 21 of the container 2 to the neck portion 22 and a part of the cap portion 23 (to the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the cap portion 23).
The filling material filled in the container 2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include beverages such as juices, gel foods such as jams, sanitary products such as shampoos, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and granular materials such as granular detergents.

  3 to 8 show a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label that is not attached to a container and that is opened in a cylindrical shape. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the basic configuration of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 includes a heat-shrinkable tubular body 31, and each cutting auxiliary line 41, 42 is disposed in the plane of the tubular body 31. , 5 and 6 are formed. The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is printed with a desired design (product name, design, description, etc.) (not shown).

  The cylindrical body 31 is formed from a heat-shrinkable film that can be heat-shrinked at a shrinkage temperature (for example, 80 ° C. to 100 ° C.). The cylindrical body 31 is formed by making this heat-shrinkable film into a cylindrical shape and overlapping both end portions 31a and 31b with a predetermined width and adhering the overlapping portion 32 thereto. The overlapping portion 32 can be bonded using, for example, an adhesive or a solvent. The bonded overlapping portion 32 is generally called a center seal portion, and this portion is referred to as a center seal portion 32 in this specification.

  The center seal portion 32 exists in a strip shape extending from the upper edge to the lower edge of the cylindrical body 31 (heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3). The center seal portion 32 is a portion where the films overlap and has a pair of side end edges (a first side end edge 321 and a second side end edge 322). With reference to the center portion of the center seal portion 32, the first side edge 321 of the center seal portion 32 is an edge located on one circumferential side X of the cylindrical body 31, and the second side of the center seal portion 32. The end edge 322 is an edge located on the other circumferential side Y of the cylindrical body 31 (on the opposite side to the circumferential one side X).

  The width of the center seal portion 32 is not particularly limited, but is usually about 3 mm to 10 mm, and the vertical length of the center seal portion 32 is equal to the vertical length of the cylindrical body 31. The width of the center seal portion 32 is a length in the circumferential direction and means a length between the first side end edge 321 and the second side end edge 322 of the center seal portion 32.

The material of the heat-shrinkable film is not particularly limited as long as it can heat-shrink at least in the width direction (circumferential direction when formed into a cylindrical shape, hereinafter the same). For example, a polyester-based material such as polyethylene terephthalate Thermoplastic synthesis composed of one or a mixture of two or more selected from thermoplastic resins such as olefins such as polypropylene, styrenes such as polystyrene and styrene-butadiene copolymers, cyclic olefins, and vinyl chlorides. A resin film may be mentioned. Further, as a heat-shrinkable film, a laminated film in which two or more kinds of heat-shrinkable films are laminated, a heat-shrinkable film, a function of a heat insulating layer and / or a barrier layer such as a nonwoven fabric or a foamed resin sheet A laminated film in which layers are laminated can also be used.
A design printing layer (not shown) is provided on the front surface and / or back surface of the heat-shrinkable film by printing.

The heat shrinkage rate in the width direction of the heat-shrinkable film is, for example, about 30% or more, preferably about 40% or more. The heat-shrinkable film may be slightly heat-shrinked in the other direction (the direction perpendicular to the width direction in the film plane), and the heat shrinkage rate in the other direction is about −3 to 15%. is there. The thermal shrinkage rate is a degree of shrinkage after immersing the film in 90 ° C. warm water for 10 seconds, and is obtained by the following formula.
Heat shrinkage rate (%) = [{(original length in the width direction (or other direction)) − (length after immersion in the width direction (or other direction))} / (width direction (or other direction) Original length)] × 100.
Although the thickness of a heat-shrinkable film is not specifically limited, Generally, they are 20 micrometers-200 micrometers, Preferably they are 30 micrometers-100 micrometers.

The cylindrical body 31 is formed with a first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41, a second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42, a horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5, and an inclined cutting auxiliary line 6.
Here, in the present invention, a perforation line, a half cut line, or the like is used as the auxiliary cutting line.
A perforation line is a line having alternating through-holes and non-penetrations penetrating the front and back surfaces of the film, such as a sewing mark of a sewing needle. Long cuts) may be included.
The half cut line is a score line obtained by cutting one surface of the film into a substantially V shape in the thickness direction.

Since a cutting line is likely to be generated according to the cutting auxiliary line, it is preferable to use a perforation line as the cutting auxiliary line. Each figure shows an example in which a perforation line is used as an auxiliary line for cutting.
The perforation line has a non-penetrating portion (a film portion not subjected to a penetrating treatment) between adjacent through-hole portions. Examples of the front view shape of one through hole portion include an elongated straight line shape, a needle hole shape (circular hole or elliptical hole), and the like. Since the film is easily cut along the perforation line, the shape of one through hole is preferably an elongated straight line as shown in FIG. The length of the through hole portion of the perforation line is, for example, 0.3 to 2 mm, and the length of the non-through portion of the perforation line is, for example, 0.3 to 1 mm.
The perforation line can be formed on the film using means such as a sewing machine blade or a laser.

  The first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 extend substantially parallel to the vertical direction of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3, and are formed from an in-plane middle portion to a lower portion of the cylindrical body 31, respectively. Has been. In the present embodiment, the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed up to the lower edge of the cylindrical body 31. Even if the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed up to the lower part of the cylindrical body 31 (a position slightly above the lower edge of the cylindrical body 31), or the cylinder In any case, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 can be divided by using the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 even if it is formed up to the lower edge of the body 31.

  The first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are not limited to the case where the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed substantially parallel to the vertical direction of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3. The first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are arranged so that the distance between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 increases or decreases toward the center in the direction. It may be formed. Further, the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are not limited to being formed in a straight line, and may be in a curved line or the like.

The first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed with the center seal portion 32 of the cylindrical body 31 interposed therebetween.
Specifically, the first longitudinal cutting auxiliary line 41 is on the one side X in the circumferential direction from the first side edge 321 of the center seal portion 32, in the vicinity of the first side edge 321 and substantially the same. They are formed in parallel.
The second longitudinal cutting auxiliary line 42 is formed on the other side Y in the circumferential direction with respect to the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32, in the vicinity of the second side edge 322 and substantially in parallel therewith. Yes.
Further, the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is formed at a position closer to the center seal portion 32 than the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41.

In other words, the center seal portion 32 is positioned between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42, and the center seal portion 32 is more than the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41. The second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is provided so as to be offset.
The width between the second longitudinal cutting auxiliary line 42 and the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32 is preferably as small as possible, and may be, for example, about 0.5 mm to 7 mm. The width between the first longitudinal cutting auxiliary line 41 and the first side edge 321 of the center seal portion 32 is not particularly limited, and may be about 2 mm to 20 mm, for example.

  In the belt-like region B existing between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42, a horizontal cutting auxiliary line (perforation line, cut line, etc.) extending in the circumferential direction is formed. Absent. That is, the band-like region B is not film-cut in the thickness direction of the film and remains as a film.

  The transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 has a first end 51 and a second end 52, and is a line with ends that is formed in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical body 31. The first end 51 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 is connected to the upper end of the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41. The transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 extends from the first end 51 to the circumferential side X of the cylindrical body 31 and is provided around the cylindrical body 31. The second cutting end line 52 of the lateral cutting auxiliary line 5 is The second longitudinal cutting auxiliary line 42 is connected to the upper end portion.

  When the cutting auxiliary line is a perforation line, the end of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 is connected to the upper end of the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 or the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42. It means that the perforation line consisting of a line in which the through-hole part and the non-penetrating part are gathered in series intersects substantially. “Substantially intersecting” means that the through hole portion of one cutting auxiliary line intersects the through hole portion of the other cutting auxiliary line; the through hole portion of one cutting auxiliary line is the other When located near the through-hole part or non-through part of the auxiliary cutting line; When the through-hole part of one auxiliary cutting line intersects the non-penetrating part of the other auxiliary cutting line; When the non-penetrating part of the auxiliary line is located in the vicinity of the through-hole part or non-penetrating part of the other cutting auxiliary line;

Further, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is formed in an area (upper area A) above the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 in the plane of the cylindrical body 31.
The lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is connected to the first end portion 51 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5. Note that the lower end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is connected to the first end 51 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5. The end of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 is the first vertical cutting auxiliary line. 41 or the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is synonymous with the meaning of being connected to the upper end portion.

The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 extends from the lower end thereof to the other circumferential side Y of the cylindrical body 31 while being inclined upward. The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is inclined upward from its lower end to the other circumferential side Y of the cylindrical body 31.
More specifically, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 extends upward from the lower end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 across the center seal portion 32, and the upper end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 reaches the upper edge of the cylindrical body 31. . The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 crosses the center seal portion 32, and therefore the lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is closer to the circumferential side one side X than the first side edge 321 of the center seal portion 32. The upper end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is positioned on the other circumferential side Y with respect to the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32.

  The angle α formed by the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 and the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 is not particularly limited as long as it is an obtuse angle, but if the angle α is too close to 180 degrees and 90 degrees, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is The angle α is preferably about 110 degrees to 170 degrees, and more preferably about 120 degrees to 150 degrees because it is not substantially inclined.

When the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is a perforation line, one of the through holes of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is the second of the center seal portion 32 of the cylindrical body 31 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. An inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 made of a perforation line is formed so as to straddle the side edge 322.
The through hole portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is formed as a relatively long cut (cut line), and the through hole portion (cut line) is formed from the first side edge 321 to the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion. May be. Such a through-hole portion completely divides the center seal portion 32 into two vertically. Therefore, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 on which the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 having such a through-hole portion is formed is preferable because it can be reliably cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 without being obstructed by the center seal portion 32. .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the inner surface of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3, which is the auxiliary line 5 for horizontal cutting, the lower edge of the cylindrical body 31, the auxiliary line 41 for first vertical cutting, and the second vertical cutting. An adhesive portion 7 made of an adhesive is provided in the entire region surrounded by the auxiliary line 42.
The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is bonded to the outer surface of the container 2 through the bonding portion 7.
As the adhesive, a water-based adhesive, a solvent-type adhesive, a heat-sensitive adhesive, or the like can be used. The water-based adhesive is an agent that exhibits adhesiveness in a moisture application or high humidity state and adheres to an adherend after drying. The solvent-type adhesive is an agent in which a resin component is dissolved in a solvent and is adhered to an adherend by volatilization of the solvent. The heat-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive that does not exhibit tackiness at room temperature and exhibits tackiness by heating, and adheres to an adherend after cooling.

  The heat-sensitive adhesive is made sticky by a heat source used when the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is heat-shrink mounted on the container 2. Further, the water-based adhesive and the heat-sensitive adhesive are made sticky by the steam used when the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is heat-shrink mounted on the container 2. When the water-based adhesive or the heat-sensitive adhesive is used as described above, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is thermally contracted and, at the same time, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is bonded to the outer surface of the container 2 through the bonding portion 7. Can be made.

  The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is positioned such that the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 corresponds to the neck portion 22 of the container 2 (a little lower side of the lower edge or the lower edge of the cap portion 23). The container 2 is attached by contraction. However, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 may be positioned and attached to the container 2 so that the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 corresponds to the middle part in the vertical direction of the body part 21 of the container 2.

  In the container 1 with a label, as shown in FIG. 10, a part (upper part 3c) of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 on one side in the circumferential direction from the upper end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is picked with a finger. The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 by drawing 3c to the outer side and the circumferential side X of the cylindrical body 31 so as to draw an arc around the container 2. In the present specification, the fact that the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label is cut is referred to as “cutting”, and the cut generated by the cutting is referred to as “cutting line”.

  By the way, since the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 traverses the thick center seal portion 32 in which two films are overlapped, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6, and the cutting line is cut. May reach the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32, and may be cut according to the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32. In this respect, since the through hole portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is formed across the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32, the through hole portion divides the center seal portion 32 into two vertically. The starting point for cutting. For this reason, even if the cutting line reaches the second side edge 322 of the center seal portion 32, the center seal portion 32 can be reliably cut across the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6.

Since the lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is connected to the first end portion 51 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5, the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 follows the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. From the first end portion 51 to the one side X in the circumferential direction according to the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5.
Further, since the second end 52 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 is connected to the upper end of the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42, the cutting line reaches the second end 52 of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5. Then, the upper region A of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 above the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 is removed from the container 2.

After the cutting line reaches the second end 52 of the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5, the upper part 5 c is pulled out to the outside of the cylindrical body 31, so that the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 and the first vertical cutting use line are drawn. The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is cut along the auxiliary lines 41 respectively. That is, two cutting lines follow the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 and the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41, respectively.
Since the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed with the thick center seal portion 32 interposed therebetween, the two cutting lines are the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 41. Even if the two vertical cutting auxiliary lines 42 are removed, they are cut along the side edges 321 and 322 of the center seal portion 32, so that the belt-like region B of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 can be removed reliably.

  In particular, the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is formed at a position closer to the center seal portion 32 than the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41. For this reason, after the cutting line reaches the second end 52 of the auxiliary line 5 for horizontal cutting, the center seal portion 32 prevents the cutting line from being generated toward one side in the circumferential direction. Accordingly, the cutting line that reaches the second end 52 of the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 is directed downward so as to be guided to the second side edge 322 of the center seal part 32, and thus the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42. It will be cut almost according to.

  As described above, by removing the upper region A and the strip region B of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3, as shown in FIG. 11, a part of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is divided into left and right, The tightening force of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 on the container 2 is released. If the tightening force is released, if the container 2 is cracked, the container 2 is actually cracked, so that the crack of the container 2 can be easily found.

  Further, since the center seal portion 32 exists in the belt-like region B sandwiched between the first vertical cutting auxiliary wire 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary wire 42, the removal of the belt-like region B is not interrupted, and the heat shrinkage is performed. The characteristic cylindrical label 3 can be easily divided. In particular, the strip-shaped region B sandwiched between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is not formed with a cutting auxiliary line extending in the circumferential direction. Can be reliably prevented.

When the upper region A and the strip region B of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 are removed, the cap part 23 of the container 2 can be opened.
In addition, since the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is bonded to the container 2 at the bonding portion 7, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is removed even after removing the upper region A and the band-like region B of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3. The remaining part of the label 3 does not come off the container 2. Therefore, even after these regions are removed, the design display (product name, description, expiration date, etc.) remains in the container 2 and the label display function is not impaired.

  The labeled container of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be variously modified within the scope intended by the present invention. Hereinafter, various other embodiments of the present invention will be described, but the description of the same configuration as the above embodiment may be omitted, and the terms and symbols may be used as they are.

In the above embodiment, the bonding portion 7 is formed on the entire region surrounded by the auxiliary line 5 for horizontal cutting, the lower edge of the cylindrical body 31, the auxiliary line 41 for first vertical cutting, and the auxiliary line 42 for second vertical cutting. Although provided, the adhesive portion 7 does not necessarily have to be provided in the entire region, and the adhesive portion 7 may be provided in a part of the inner surface in this region.
When the adhesive part 7 is provided in a part of the area (when the adhesive part 7 is not provided in the entire area), the formation part of the adhesive part 7 is not particularly limited. It may be provided in a strip shape in the circumferential direction and in the form of a stripe in the vertical direction.

  Preferably, as shown in FIG. 12, the first of the regions surrounded by the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5, the lower edge of the label 3, the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 is used. The adhesive portion 7 is provided at least on the inner surface in the vicinity of the vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and in the vicinity of the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42. As described above, the adhesive portion 7 is provided in the vicinity of at least the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42, so that the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 generated after the strip-shaped region B is removed. It is possible to prevent the edges of both sides from dripping.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 1st vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the 2nd vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 are formed in the position which pinches | interposes the center seal | sticker part 32, a pair of 1st vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the 2nd vertical cutting auxiliary line 42 may be formed in the area | region which does not have the center seal | sticker part 32 between them.

Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the lower end part of the auxiliary line 6 for inclined cutting is connected with the 1st end part 51 of the auxiliary line 5 for horizontal cutting, it is not limited to this, The lower end of the auxiliary line 6 for inclined cutting The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 may be formed so that the portion is positioned in the vicinity of the first end of the horizontal cutting auxiliary line.
For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, the lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is in the vicinity of the first end portion 51 of the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 and is more circumferential than the first end portion 51. The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 may be formed so as to be connected to the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 at a position away from one side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is in the vicinity of the first end portion 51 of the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 and is more circumferential than the first end portion 51. The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 may be formed so as to be positioned away from the other side. In the case of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 of FIG. 13B, the lower end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is not connected to the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5, and thus is cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. There is a risk that the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5 may not be cut. In order to prevent such a situation, it is preferable to form a cut line 63 extending in the circumferential direction at the lower end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 as shown in FIG. The cut line 63 is connected to the lower end of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6, and the end of the cutting line 63 on one side in the circumferential direction is at the same vertical position as the horizontal cutting auxiliary line 5 and is used for horizontal cutting. The auxiliary line 5 is disposed in the vicinity of the first end 51.
In FIG. 13, the center seal portion 32 is not shown between the first vertical cutting auxiliary line 41 and the second vertical cutting auxiliary line 42. The seal part 32 may be located.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the upper edge of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is linear shape seeing from the front, as shown in FIG.13 (b), for example, the upper edge of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 The knob 33 may be extended. The knob 33 extends to one side in the circumferential direction from the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. If such a knob | pick part 33 is provided, this can be picked and a part of heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 can be cut | disconnected easily.

In the above embodiment, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is linear, but may be formed in a curved shape as shown in FIG.
Further, in the above embodiment, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is composed of one, but as shown in FIG. 14B, the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 includes two first and second inclined cutting lines. You may be comprised from the auxiliary lines 61 and 62. FIG. In this case, the first and second inclined cutting auxiliary lines 61 and 62 are provided substantially in parallel and close to each other. The inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 may be composed of three or more auxiliary lines. As described above, when the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is composed of a plurality of auxiliary lines, the cutting line is unlikely to be detached from the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 and can be reliably cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), in addition to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6, a sub inclined cutting auxiliary line 81 may be provided in the plane of the cylindrical body 31. The auxiliary inclined cutting auxiliary line 81 is on one side in the circumferential direction from the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 and extends obliquely downward from the upper edge of the cylindrical body 31 substantially parallel to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. The lower end portion is not connected to the transverse cutting auxiliary line 5.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the upper end portion of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 extends to the upper edge of the cylindrical body 31. For example, as shown in FIG. The upper end portion 6a of the cylindrical body 31 may not be formed up to the upper edge. In this case, it is preferable to form the guide cutting auxiliary line 9 from the upper end portion 6a of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 to the upper edge of the cylindrical body 31, as shown in FIG. For example, the guide cutting auxiliary line 9 is connected to the upper end portion 6a of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 and is connected to the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91 extending upward and the upper end portion of the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91. And a second guide cutting auxiliary line 92 extending obliquely upward to one side in the circumferential direction. As the first and second auxiliary cutting auxiliary lines 91 and 92, for example, perforation lines are used.

  In this embodiment in which the upper end portion 6a of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is located in the plane of the cylindrical body 31, the upper end portion 6a of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is cut in accordance with the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. It is necessary to have a starting point for cutting that leads to. The guide cutting auxiliary line 9 serves as a starting point for cutting, and the upper part 5d of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 on one side in the circumferential direction from the upper end of the second guide cutting auxiliary line 92 is picked with a finger. By being pulled out, the first and second guided cutting auxiliary lines 91 and 92 are cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6, and then cut along the lateral cutting auxiliary line 5.

  Further, in the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 in which the upper end portion 6a of the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6 is located in the plane of the cylindrical body 31 and the upper end portion 6a is provided with the guiding cutting auxiliary line 9; As shown in FIG. 15 (b), the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91 may be formed of a cut line extending in the vertical direction instead of the perforation line. In this case, since the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91 is formed of a cut line, the edge 5e is pinched with a finger and pulled out outward and in one circumferential direction so as to draw an arc around the container 2. Thus, the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 is cut according to the inclined cutting auxiliary line 6. When the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91 is formed of a cut line in this way, the edge portion 5e of the first guide cutting auxiliary line 91 functions as a knob, and the upper region of the heat-shrinkable cylindrical label 3 and The strip region can be easily cut out.
