Description

  The present invention relates to a medium attached to an adherend, a roll medium thereof, and a medium cartridge.

  A medium attached to the outer periphery of a cable or a cylindrical adherend is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This prior art medium has a laminated structure including a base material layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a release material layer, and after the release material layer is peeled off, one side adhesive region in which the back side becomes sticky, and this one side A non-adhesive region with a printed background layer that is provided adjacent to the adhesive region and the back side is non-adhesive, and a portion of the back side that is provided further adjacent to the non-adhesive region and is adhesive on the other side An adhesive region.

Special table 2011-524154 gazette

  In the above prior art medium, first, after the back surface (inner peripheral surface) of the one-side adhesive region is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend by the adhesive, the non-adhesive region adjacent to the one-side adhesive region is After being wound around the adherend to form a cylindrical body, the back surface (inner peripheral surface) of the other adhesive region is attached to the outer peripheral side of the non-adhesive region with an adhesive. Thereafter, the user breaks the perforation provided in advance between the one-side adhesive region in a state of being adhered to the adherend and the non-adhesive region, so that the remaining non-adhesion from the one-side adhesive region. The combined body of the region and the other side adhesive region is separated, thereby completing a cylindrical medium (rotary label) that can rotate with respect to the adherend.

  However, in the rotating label, the inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the adhered adhesive region. Therefore, it may not be possible to prevent the completed rotating label from moving over the outer peripheral side of the adhesive region and passing in the axial direction in the axial direction of the adherend.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a medium, a roll medium, and a medium cartridge that can reliably prevent the rotating label from moving in the axial direction of the adherend.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured by laminating at least a base material layer and a release material layer, and the base material layer has a plurality of regions along a first direction orthogonal to the laminating direction. The plurality of areas include a print area, a portion in contact with the release material layer is connected to the non-adhesive first area in the first direction with respect to the first area, A second region in which a portion in contact with the release material layer is adhesive, and at least one of the first region and the second region, a second direction orthogonal to the stacking direction and intersecting the first direction And a third region which is connected to one side of the substrate through a hole, a cut, a row of holes, or a row of cuts, and a portion in contact with the release material layer is adhesive.

  In the medium of the present invention, the release material layer is peeled off, the non-adhesive first region is applied to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend, and the other portions are circulated around the adherend to form a cylindrical body. After being wound, the second region connected in the first direction with respect to the first region is attached to the outer peripheral side of the already wound first region (or the second region) (a so-called self-laminate mode) ). Alternatively, after the winding, the portions that do not surround the outer periphery of the adherend are bonded to each other using the adhesiveness of the second region, and then the bonded portion is wound around the inner peripheral side. And it winds around a to-be-adhered body using the said adhesiveness of a 2nd area | region (what is called a palm-pasting aspect). At this time, an adhesive third region is connected to one side in the second direction of at least one of the first region and the second region, and the third region is covered by the above winding. It adheres to the outer peripheral side of the body.

  Here, between the third region and at least one of the first region and the second region, a hole (including both a bottomed hole and a through hole) or a cut (so-called perforation, slit, thickness direction) (Including thin-walled portions) Or a row of holes or a row of cuts is provided, so that it can be easily broken. The user breaks the hole, the cut, the row of holes, or the row of cuts in the medium attached to the adherend as described above. Thereby, since the third region can be separated from a portion other than the third region (cylindrical combined body), the non-adhesive first region contacts the adherend in the cylindrical combined body. Thus, as a result of being rotatably attached to the adherend, a cylindrical medium (rotary label) that is rotatable relative to the adherend is completed. The separated third region is in contact with the rotatable cylindrical medium adjacent to the second direction (in other words, the axial direction of the adherend), so that the cylindrical medium is in the axial direction. It is possible to suppress the position shift.

  Further, in the conventional method of completing a cylindrical medium (rotating label) that can be rotated with respect to the adherend by breaking the perforation in the adhesive area attached to the adherend and separating the non-adhesive area. The inner diameter of the cylindrical medium is larger than the outer diameter of the adhered adhesive region. As a result, there is a possibility that the adhered adhesive region cannot prevent the completed rotating label from moving in the axial direction of the adherend (passes the outer peripheral side of the adhesive region and passes in the axial direction). is there. In the medium of the present invention, the inner diameter of the cylindrical medium (rotating label) separated from the third region and the inner diameter of the third region are the same by the above-described separation method. The inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the third region. Therefore, unlike the conventional structure, it is possible to reliably suppress the displacement of the cylindrical medium in the axial direction.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the rotating label from moving in the axial direction of the adherend.

  Since the adhesive regions D4 and D5 are provided corresponding to the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3, the lengths of the adhesive regions D4 and D5 in the first direction are the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region. This is the total length of the region D3 in the first direction.

  The lengths Wl and Wr in the second direction of the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the non-adhesive region D2 are smaller than the length Wm in the second direction of the non-adhesive region D2. Further, the length Wl of the adhesive region D4 in the second direction is equal to the length Wr of the adhesive region D5 in the second direction.

The left end and the right end) are R-shaped portions DL and DR that are chamfered in a curved shape.

  Since the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the adhesive region D3 have adhesiveness in the same manner as the adhesive region D3, here, for convenience of explanation, the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the adhesive region D3 are included in the adhesive region D3 itself. It will be described as being included. That is, the entire adhesion area D3 (including adhesion areas D4 and D5 corresponding to the adhesion area D3) is formed in a so-called inverted isosceles trapezoid shape. Specifically, the length WA in the second direction of the end portion on the other side in the first direction (upper side in FIG. 3A) of the adhesive region D3 is the length in the second direction of the adhesive region D1. Shorter than W. Moreover, the length WB in the second direction of the end portion on one side in the first direction (lower side in FIG. 3A) of the adhesive region D3 is the other side in the first direction of the adhesive region D3 ( It is shorter than the length WA in the second direction at the end of the upper part in FIG.

  In the example of the present embodiment, the base material layer 21 and the adhesive layer 22 in the vicinity of the boundary with the non-adhesive region D2 in the adhesive region D1 are intermittent along the second direction (that is, in parallel with the second direction). However, a break line G extending is provided. On the other hand, in the example of the present embodiment, the adhesive region D4 and the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 extend intermittently along the first direction (that is, parallel to the first direction). A break line GL is provided. Furthermore, in the example of the present embodiment, the adhesive region D5 and the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 extend intermittently along the first direction (that is, parallel to the first direction). A break line GR is provided. The break lines G, GL, GR in the example of the present embodiment are formed as so-called perforations and / or full cut slits, but are not limited to this example, and are not limited to this example. As long as it is made up of various materials, various configurations are possible, and any material that can be broken may be used. The print label L is not provided with perforations or slits except for the break lines G, GL, GR and the above-described notches HC, and the cross-sectional shape in the thickness direction is continuous along the first direction. It has become a layer.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 between the base material layer 21 and the release material layer 24 in the pressure-sensitive adhesive regions D4 and D5 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the break line GL and the break line GR (see FIG. Not shown). That is, the adhesive in the adhesive region D4 is disposed from a position a predetermined distance away from the breaking line GL on the left side in FIG. 3A, and the adhesive in the adhesive region D5 is disposed on the right side in FIG. 3A from the breaking line GR. Arranged from a position separated by a predetermined distance. Therefore, it is desirable that the adhesives in the adhesive regions D4 and D5 are applied to the entire surface of the adhesive regions D4 and D5, but it is preferable that the adhesives are applied only up to that point so as not to reach the break lines GL and GR.

  In the release material layer 24, at least a surface in contact with the adhesive region D1 and a surface in contact with the adhesive region D3 are subjected to a known release treatment. Thereby, when the release material layer 24 is peeled off, at least in the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D3, the adhesive layer 22 is fixed and remains on the base material layer 21 side.

  In the present embodiment, the adhesive region D4 and the adhesive region D5 are connected to one side and the other side in the second direction of the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3. It is not limited, and it is only necessary to connect at least one of the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3 to at least one of the one side and the other side in the second direction. This modification will be described later.

<Procedure for attaching printed label to adherend>
An example of the procedure for attaching the print label L to the adherend is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the print label L is wound around and attached to a columnar or cable-shaped adherend 302 having a radius r (diameter 2r).

  First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the release material layer 24 is peeled from the print label L having the above-described structure, and the non-adhesive layer 23 is exposed. Thereafter, as shown in the drawing, the adhesive region D1, non-adhesive region D2a, non-adhesive region D2a, non-adhesive region D2b, non-adhesive region D2c, and the adhesive label D3, the non-adhesive region D2a. D2b is bent into a concave shape (not shown) so that the side (the right side in FIG. 4A) on which the release material layer 24 is in contact is inside.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the adherend 302 is arranged inside the concave shape, and the adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D1 located on the leading end side of the print label L is attached to the adherend 302. After being pasted, the non-adhesive region D2a, the non-adhesive region D2b, the non-adhesive region D2c, and the adhesive region D3 are sequentially extended in the circumferential direction so as to form a cylindrical body surrounding the adherend 302. (See arrow H in FIG. 4 (a)) At the end of winding, the adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D3 (which has already been wound around the adherend 302) or non-adhesive region D2 or adhesive region D3 Is pasted. As a result, the print label L has its cylindrical shape fixed by the adhesion between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 23 described above.

  After that, the user relatives the entire printed label L formed in the cylindrical shape with an appropriate force in the same direction as the winding direction of the adherend 302 (see arrow J in FIG. 4C). The break line G and the break lines GR and GL provided in the adhesive region D1 are broken. When the break lines GR and GL are broken, the print label L is separated into a label main body portion Lm, a left label portion Ll, and a right label portion Lr. At this time, the length X2A + X2B + X2C in the first direction of the non-adhesive layer 23 is at least the circumferential length 2πr of the adherend 302. As a result, the label main body Lm (rotary label) of the print label L is fixed by the non-adhesive region D2 (non-adhesive region D2a, non-adhesive region D2b, and non-adhesive region D2c) while its cylindrical body shape is fixed. By making a round around the adherend 302 in a non-attached state, the adherend 302 is initially rotatable.

  However, as described above, the break line G in the label main body Lm of the printed label L is not in the non-adhesive region D2 or on the boundary with the adhesive region D1, but in the non-adhesive region D1. It is provided to extend along the second direction in the vicinity of the boundary with the region D2. For this reason, when the breaking line G breaks, as shown in FIG. 4C, the end of the non-adhesive layer 23 (the upper end in FIG. 4A (the other side in the first direction)). ) And the breaking line G that has already broken, the adhesive layer 22 remains (exposes) in a protruding arrangement. Thereafter, the protruding portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is positioned on the outer peripheral side by the gripping operation on the label main body Lm or the bending operation of the adherend 302 by manual operation from the user. Alternatively, it is bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the adherend 302 by being pressed or tightened from the adhesive region D3 (see FIG. 4C). The adhesion at the protruding portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is the whole or a part of the second direction (the axial direction of the adherend 302; the front side to the back side in FIG. 4C) in the label main body Lm. It becomes adhesion with.

  At this time, the protruding length (not shown) in the first direction (the circumferential direction of the adherend 302) at the protruding portion of the adhesive layer 22 is set to a sufficiently short dimension. The ratio to the circumference 2πr is sufficiently low. Further, as described above, the bonding at the protruding portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is not necessarily bonded in the entire second direction (axial direction). For this reason, the adhesion area at the protruding portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the adherend 302 is sufficiently small, that is, the adhesiveness of the entire label main body Lm is light, and the printing is performed on the adherend 302. The label L is attached so as to be easily rotatable by manual work while maintaining appropriate friction.

  On the other hand, the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr of the print label L have the same length in the first direction as the label main body portion Lm, so that the cylindrical shape of the own label is fixed and the adhesive region D4 is fixed. , D5 makes a round around the adherend 302 so that it adheres to the adherend 302. Therefore, as described above, even when the label main body Lm is rotated, the left label Ll and the right label Lr are not rotated but remain in a state of being adhered to the adherend 302.

<Use example of printed label>
An example of use of the print label L is shown in FIG. In this example, as the adherend 302, for example, a cable used for a switching hub that relays information on a wired LAN network (hereinafter simply referred to as “cable 302” as appropriate) is applied. . In FIG. 5, the switching hub 300 has eight slots 301 (16 slots in total) in each of the upper and lower rows. In the example shown in the figure, plates PL representing identification names “A01” to “A08” are provided in order from the left in correspondence with the eight upper slots 301, respectively. Further, corresponding to each of the lower eight slots 301, plates PL representing identification names “A09” to “A16” are provided in order from the left.

  It is necessary to connect the corresponding cable 302 to each slot 301 appropriately. In order to facilitate the connection, the print label in which the print R having the same content as the identification name of the slot 301 as the connection destination is formed at the end of each cable 302 inserted into each connector slot 301. L is attached. That is, the print label L on which the same text as the identification name of the plate PL of the slot 301 to be connected is attached to the cable 302. As a result, the correspondence between the slot 301 to be connected and the cable 302 becomes clear, and erroneous wiring can be prevented.

  FIG. 6 schematically shows how the print label L is attached to the cable 302. In the figure, the axial center k of the cable 302 is also shown. With the above-described structure, by rotating the label main body Lm of the print label L in the breaking direction (that is, the circumferential direction) from the state shown in FIG. 6A, the break lines G, GL, GR are broken, and the print label As shown in FIG. 6B, L is separated into a label main body Lm, a left label Ll, and a right label Lr. The label main body Lm is rotatably attached to the cable 302 as the adherend with an appropriate manual force. For example, in the state shown in FIG. The non-adhesive region D2b provided is arranged in a posture toward the front side in the drawing. In practice, when the diameter of the cable 302 is sufficiently small, there may be a transparent non-adhesive region D2 or an adhesive region D3 on the further outer peripheral side of the non-adhesive region D2b. For the sake of simplicity, the illustration is omitted in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c). From the state shown in FIG. 6B, for example, by rotating the label main body Lm of the print label L in the direction of the broken line, the non-adhesive region D2c and the adhesive region D3 are shown in FIG. 6C. It can be set as the posture which becomes the near side towards. 6C, it is difficult to see the print R when the label main body Lm of the print label L is fixed to the cable 302. However, since the label main body Lm is rotatable, By rotating in the opposite direction to the position shown in FIG. 6B, the print R is easy to see. On the other hand, the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr are maintained in a state of being bonded to the cable 302. Therefore, the label main body portion Lm is prevented from shifting in the direction of the axis k because the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr serve as a stopper.

<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, in the present embodiment, the release material layer 24 is peeled off, the adhesive adhesive region D1 and the non-adhesive non-adhesive region D2 are applied to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend 302, and the rest After the portion is wound around the adherend 302 to form a cylindrical body, the adhesive region D3 connected in the first direction with respect to the non-adhesive region D2 is wound on the non-adhesive region D2 that has already been wound. (Or an adhesive region D3) is attached to the outer peripheral side (a so-called self-laminate mode). At this time, an adhesive adhesive region D5 (or adhesive region D4) is connected to the print label L on one side in the second direction of at least one of the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3. By winding, the adhesive region D5 (or adhesive region D4) adheres to the outer peripheral side of the adherend 302.

  Here, between the adhesive region D5 (or adhesive region D4) and at least one of the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3, a hole (including both a bottomed hole and a through hole) or a cut (so-called sewing machine) A break line GL (or a break line GR) formed of a row of holes, a row of cuts, or a row of cuts (including a thin portion in the direction of the eyes, slits, thickness, etc.), and can be easily broken. The user breaks the break line GL (or break line GR) in the printed label L attached to the adherend 302 as described above. Thereby, since the said adhesion area | region D5 (or adhesion area | region D4) can be isolate | separated from parts (cylindrical coupling body) other than adhesion area | region D5 (or adhesion area | region D4), it is the said cylindrical coupling body. The label main body portion Lm is attached to the adherend 302 so that the non-adhesive non-adhesive region D2 is in contact with the adherend 302. As a result, the label main body Lm is a cylindrical label main body that is rotatable relative to the adherend 302 Part Lm (rotational label) is completed. Then, the right label portion Lr composed of the separated adhesive region D5 (or the left label portion Ll composed of the adhesive region D4) is in the second direction (in other words, covered) with respect to the rotatable cylindrical label main body portion Lm. It is possible to prevent the label main body Lm from being displaced in the axial direction by contacting adjacent to (in the axial direction of the wearing body).

  Further, a conventional method of completing a cylindrical medium (rotating label) that can rotate with respect to the adherend by breaking the perforation in the adhesive area that is attached to the adherend 302 and separating the non-adhesive area. Then, the inner diameter of the cylindrical medium is larger than the outer diameter of the adhered adhesive region. As a result, there is a possibility that the adhered adhesive region cannot prevent the completed rotating label from moving in the axial direction of the adherend (passes the outer peripheral side of the adhesive region and passes in the axial direction). is there. However, in the print label L of the present embodiment, the inner diameter and the right label of the cylindrical label main body Lm (rotary label) separated from the right label portion Lr (or the left label portion Ll) by the above-described separation method. The inner diameter of the part Lr (or the left label part Ll) is the same diameter, in other words, the inner diameter of the label main body part Lm is smaller than the outer diameter of the right label part Lr (or left label part Ll). Therefore, unlike the conventional structure, it is possible to reliably prevent the label main body Lm from being displaced in the axial direction.

  At this time, in this embodiment, the print label L is connected to the adhesive adhesive region D5 on one side in the second direction of at least one of the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3. An adhesive adhesive region D4 is connected to the other side in the second direction. Accordingly, the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr can be separated from the cylindrical label main body portion Lm by breaking the break lines GL and GR. With Lr, the label main body Lm can be sandwiched from both sides in the axial direction, and as a result, the positional deviation of the label main body Lm in the axial direction can be reliably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the lengths Wl and Wr in the second direction of the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the non-adhesive region D2 are smaller than the length Wm in the second direction of the non-adhesive region D2. Therefore, the length (Wl) in the second direction of the left label portion Ll and the length (Wr) in the second direction of the right label portion Lr are smaller than the length (Wm) in the second direction of the label body portion Lm. It is possible to suppress wasteful use of the print label L. Further, the length Wl of the adhesive region D4 in the second direction is equal to the length Wr of the adhesive region D5 in the second direction. The lengths in the second direction of the two portions (left label portion Ll and right label portion Lr) that respectively function as stoppers that suppress positional deviation on both sides in the second direction of the label main body portion Lm can be made equal to each other, and the aesthetic appearance is improved. be able to.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the base material layer 21 is transparent. Therefore, even when other portions cover the outer peripheral side of the print area of the non-adhesive area D2 at the time of winding, the printed notation contents in the print area can be reliably recognized from the outside.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the release material layer 24 (that is, the tape to be printed To and T) is a long layer extending in the second direction of the print label L (that is, the label portion LA). It is formed. A plurality of base material layers 21 (that is, label portions LA and print labels L) are arranged on the print-receiving tapes To and T so that the second direction is parallel to the long direction. Thereby, a plurality of regions (adhesive region D1, non-adhesive region D2, adhesive region D3, etc.) of each print label L (label portion LA) are arranged in the width direction of the print-receiving tapes To, T, that is, each print label L Are arranged along the longitudinal direction (transport direction) of the print-receiving tapes To and T. For this reason, it becomes easy to manufacture the print-receiving tapes To and T, and in particular, continuous printing can be formed on each print background layer 25 in the label producing apparatus 1. Since the second direction is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the release material layer 24, the adhesive region D5 or the adhesive region D4, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 of each print label L are in the second direction. On the other hand, they are arranged in this order. However, when the label producing apparatus 1 transports the print background layer 25 along the longitudinal direction to form a print, the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3 are disposed upstream in the transport direction, and the adhesive region D5 is disposed downstream. Or it can suppress that the non-adhesion area | region D2 which has no adhesiveness in a conveyance path | route rises from the release agent layer 24 by arrange | positioning so that it may become adhesion area | region D4.

  In the present embodiment, the entire adhesive region D3 (including the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the adhesive region D3) decreases as the length in the second direction increases from the non-adhesive region D2. Here, at the time of winding around the adherend 302, since the winding is a manual operation by the user, the side to be bonded (adhesive region D 3 on the outer peripheral side) and the side to be bonded (non-adhesive region on the inner peripheral side) D2) may be slightly shifted in the second direction. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by gradually reducing the length of the adhesive region D3 in the second direction (in other words, narrower the distance from the non-adhesive region D2 toward the first direction), Even when some deviation in the second direction as described above occurs during winding, the edge of the adhesive region D3 located on the outer peripheral side protrudes from the edge of the non-adhesive region D2 located on the inner peripheral side. Can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the adhesive portion of the adhesive region D3 from being exposed on the inner peripheral side and sticking to the adherend 302 and inhibiting rotation.

  In the present embodiment, the adhesive adhesive region D1 is connected to the non-adhesive region D2 on the side opposite to the adhesive region D3 in the first direction. In the self-laminating aspect as in the present embodiment, the release material layer 24 is peeled off, and after first attaching the adhesive adhesive region D1 to the outer periphery of the adherend 302, the non-adhesive non-adhesive region D2 and The subsequent adhesive region D3 can be wrapped around the adherend 302. Thereby, winding by a user can be made easy.

  In the present embodiment, the adhesive in the adhesive regions D4 and D5 is arranged at a predetermined distance from the break line GL and the break line GR. Thereby, after the fracture | rupture line GL and the fracture | rupture line GR fracture | rupture, it can suppress reliably that an adhesive remains on the said cylindrical label main-body part Lm side.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the adhesion area | region D1 is provided with the breaking line G extended in a 2nd direction. Therefore, the user separates the remaining portion (cylindrical combined body) from the adhesive region D1 by breaking the break line G of the adhesive region D1 in a state of being attached to the adherend 302, thereby A cylindrical label main body Lm (rotating label) that can rotate with respect to the adherend 302 can be completed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the breaking line G is not provided outside the adhesive region D1, but the breaking line G is provided so as to pass through the adhesive region D1. Therefore, after breaking the breaking line G as described above, at least a part of the inner surface side of the cylindrical label main body Lm (rotating label) is provided with an adhesive region (breaking in the adhesive region D1). One side portion in the first direction from the line G) remains. As a result, it is possible to suppress the label main body Lm from excessively rotating or being displaced in the axial direction of the adherend 302, unlike a structure in which no region having adhesion remains.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the adhesive region D1 has an area of the adhesive region on one side in the first direction from the fracture line G that is smaller than the area of the adhesive region on the other side in the first direction from the fracture line G. . Specifically, the breaking line G is disposed in the vicinity of the boundary with the non-adhesive region D2 in the adhesive region D1. Thereby, the excessive rotation and position shift of the said label main-body part Lm can be suppressed, ensuring the comparatively big adhesive force to the to-be-adhered body 302 at the time of a winding start.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, at least a part of the breaking line G is parallel to the second direction. As a result, when a torque (rotational force) is manually applied to the label main body Lm so as to break the breaking line G, at least a portion of the breaking line G parallel to the second direction is loaded with torque uniformly in the axial direction. Is done. Accordingly, the torque deviation with respect to the axial direction (second direction) can be suppressed, so that the cylindrical body shape of the label main body Lm itself can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, all of the breaking lines G are arranged in the adhesive region D1. Thereby, since an adhesive region can be ensured over the entire axial direction (second direction) of the label main body Lm, excessive rotation and displacement of the label main body Lm can be stably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the print background layer 25 is provided on the opposite side of the non-adhesive region D2 to the side in contact with the release material layer 24. Thereby, the print head 7 can be stably brought into contact with the print background layer 25 by the label producing apparatus 1, and a desired print object such as a character / graphic image intended by the user can be printed cleanly.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, in the tape roll 10A, the first direction matches the width direction of the print-receiving tapes To and T. Thereby, the plurality of regions D1 to D3 in each label portion LA are arranged in the width direction of the print-receiving tapes To and T, that is, the same region between the label portions LA is the longitudinal direction of the print-receiving tapes To and T (conveying direction). ) Along the line. For this reason, it is easy to manufacture the print-receiving tape To, and there are advantages such as continuous printing on each print background layer 25 in the label producing apparatus 1 in particular.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order. However, in the following modification, it demonstrates centering on a different part from the said embodiment, and abbreviate | omits description about the part which is the same or similar in a structure and an effect suitably.

(1) Modification of Arrangement Direction of Label Portion LA on Printed Tape To, T In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, print label L is placed on printed tape To, T and printed tape To, Although the longitudinal direction of T and the second direction of the print label L are arranged side by side in parallel, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the print label L is placed on the print-receiving tapes To and T as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the longitudinal directions of the print-receiving tapes To and T and the first direction of the print label L may be arranged side by side in parallel. In FIG. 7A, the vertical direction in the figure is the transport direction (in other words, the tape length direction), the horizontal direction in the figure is the tape width direction, and the front and back direction in the figure is the tape thickness direction (stacking direction). The top view of the to-be-printed tape To of the unprinted state is shown. The example of FIG.2 (b) has shown the top view of the to-be-printed tape T after printing R was printed in the non-adhesion area | region D2 among the adhesion area | regions D1-adhesion area | region D5.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the release material layer 24 (that is, the print target tapes To and T) is formed as a long layer extending in the first direction of the print label L (that is, the label portion LA). A plurality of base material layers 21 (that is, label portions LA and print labels L) are arranged on the print-receiving tapes To and T so that the first direction is parallel to the long direction. Thereby, in each print label L (label part LA), the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 are arranged in this order in the longitudinal direction of the print target tapes To and T. As a result, when the adhesion area D4 and the adhesion area D5 of each print label L and the adhesion area D1, the non-adhesion area D2 and the adhesion area D3 are arranged in this order (the second direction is the same as in the above embodiment). Compared with the case where the release material layer 24 is parallel to the longitudinal direction), the label producing device 1 is transported along the longitudinal direction for printing on the print background layer 25 in the transport path. It is possible to suppress the non-adhesive region D2 having no adhesion from floating from the release agent layer 24.

(2) Modified example in which break line is formed by long hole In the above embodiment, break lines G, GL, GR are formed by so-called perforations, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. In other words, the break lines G, GL, and GR need only be processed so that the break lines can be broken along their predetermined paths, and the break lines G may be formed at other than the perforations.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8, some or all of the breaking lines G, GL, and GR may be long holes as an example of holes or holes constituting the cut lines. FIG. 8 shows a case where the fracture lines GL and GR are long holes. The long hole has a first axis as a major axis direction, a second direction as a minor axis direction, a predetermined opening dimension in the second direction, and is formed in a substantially elliptical shape. Since winding and bonding to the adherend 302 are manual operations by the user, a row of holes between the non-adhesive region D2 and the adhesive region D3 and the adhesive region D4 and the adhesive region D5 extending along the first direction. Alternatively, the row of cuts may be slightly shifted in the second direction between the side to be bonded and the side to be bonded. In this modification, the breaking lines GL and GR are elongated holes having an opening dimension in the second direction (having a shape slightly opened in the second direction). Even if some deviation occurs, the circumferential position of the inner peripheral long hole and the peripheral position of the outer peripheral long hole can be substantially matched with each other. As a result, the aforementioned breakage can be performed smoothly.

(3) Modification of the shape of the adhesive region D3 (including the corresponding adhesive regions D4, D5) In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive region D3 (including the corresponding adhesive regions D4, D5) The shape is a so-called inverted isosceles trapezoidal shape, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 corresponding to FIG. 3, the dimension of the entire print label L in the second direction may be substantially uniform. Therefore, the adhesion area D3 including the corresponding adhesion areas D4 and D5 may be substantially rectangular. In this case, the end portions on both sides in the second direction (FIG. 9A) of the end portions on one side in the first direction (lower side in FIG. 9A) of the adhesive regions D4 and D5 corresponding to the adhesive region D3. The middle left end and the right end) may be R-shaped portions DL and DR that are chamfered in a curved shape.

(4) Modified example in which either one of the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr is provided In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 As a result of providing the adhesive regions D4 and D5 on both sides in the two directions, as shown in FIG. 5, the left label portion Ll and the right label portion Lr are provided on both sides in the second direction of the label main body portion Lm. The invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 corresponding to FIG. 3A and FIG. 11 corresponding to FIG. 5, the adhesive region D5 is provided only on one side in the second direction of the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3. As a result, the right label portion Lr may be provided only on one side in the second direction of the label main body portion Lm. Similarly, only the left label portion Ll may be provided as a result of providing only the adhesive region D4. . According to this modification, when a positional deviation occurs only on one side in the axial direction of the label main body Lm, the dimension in the second direction of the label main body Lm is lengthened while appropriately preventing the positional deviation. Is possible.

(5) Modified example in which adhesive region D5 is provided only in part In the above embodiment, adhesive regions D4 and D5 are provided on both sides in the second direction of adhesive region D1, non-adhesive region D2, and adhesive region D3, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. Each of the adhesion regions D4 and D5 may be provided so as to be connected to at least one of the non-adhesion region D2 and the adhesion region D3.

  For example, FIGS. 12 and 13 show an example in which the adhesive region D5 is partially provided. FIG. 12 shows an example in which the adhesive region D5 is provided so as to be connected only to the non-adhesive region D2. In other words, in FIG. 12, portions corresponding to the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D3 of the adhesive region D5 shown in FIG. 9 are formed missing. On the other hand, FIG. 13 shows an example in which the adhesive region D5 is provided so as to be connected only to the adhesive region D3. In other words, in FIG. 12, portions corresponding to the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D2 of the adhesive region D5 shown in FIG. 9 are formed missing. In the case of the adhesion region D5 shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, it does not have an annular shape like the right label portion Lr shown in FIG. 5, but is covered in a partial arc shape that does not go around the outer periphery of the adherend 302 (cable). Affixed to the body 302. When such a partial arc-shaped right label portion Lr is used, it is possible to simplify the configuration while performing a stopper function for preventing the positional displacement of the label main body portion Lm in the axial direction. 12 and 13 show an example in which the adhesive region D5 is partially provided. Needless to say, for example, the adhesive region D4 may be partially provided.

(6) Modified example in the case where it is constituted by gluing and sticking In the above embodiment, the print label L adheres to the adherend 302 in a so-called self-laminate mode, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The print label L may be attached to the adherend 302 in a so-called palm-attached manner. Hereinafter, an example of this palm attachment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 14 corresponding to FIG. 2, an adhesive region D1 ′ (an example of a fifth region) is arranged in place of the adhesive region D1 in the label portion LA of the printing tape To in this modified example, and the non-adhesive region A non-adhesive region D2 ′ (an example of a first region) is arranged instead of D2. Further, unlike the non-adhesive region D2, the non-adhesive region D2 'does not have a break line G. The adhesive region D1 'and the non-adhesive region D2' will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 15 corresponding to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the adhesive region D1 'is formed in substantially the same manner as the adhesive region D1, except that the break line G is not provided. However, the adhesive region D1 adheres to the outer periphery of the adherend 302 in the self-laminating mode, but this adhesive region D1 'adheres to a part of the non-adhesive region D2' in the palm-attached mode. The procedure for attaching the print label L to the adherend 302 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the non-adhesive region D2 'includes non-adhesive regions D2a and D2b similar to the non-adhesive region D2. On the other hand, the non-adhesive region D2 ′ is replaced with the non-adhesive region D2c provided in the non-adhesive region D2, and the non-adhesive regions D2p and D2c ′ obtained by dividing the non-adhesive region D2c into two regions. In addition. The non-adhesive region D2 'is formed in the same manner as the non-adhesive region D2, except that the non-adhesive regions D2p and D2c' are provided. Hereinafter, the non-adhesion regions D2p and D2c ′ will be described.

  The non-adhesion region D2p is provided adjacent to the one side in the first direction of the non-adhesion region D2b. This non-adhesive region D2p is similar to the non-adhesive region D2c, from the one side in the thickness direction to the other side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 15B), the base material layer 21, the adhesive layer 22 The non-adhesive layer 23 and the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order. As a result, the non-adhesive region D2p as a whole is a region where the portion in contact with the release material layer 24 becomes non-adhesive (the adhesive property by the adhesive layer 22 is blocked by the non-adhesive layer 23). It has become. The non-adhesive region D2p is a region having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, having a length X2P in the first direction and a length Wm in the second direction (see FIG. 15A). .

  The non-adhesive region D2c ′ is provided adjacent to the one side in the first direction of the non-adhesive region D2p and adjacent to the other side in the first direction of the non-adhesive region D3. This non-adhesive region D2c ′ is the same as the non-adhesive region D2 from the one side in the thickness direction to the other side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 15B), the base material layer 21, the adhesive layer 22, the non-adhesive layer 23, and the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order. As a result, the non-adhesive region D2c ′ is a region in which the part in contact with the release material layer 24 as a whole becomes non-adhesive (the adhesive property of the adhesive layer 22 is blocked by the non-adhesive layer 23). It has become. At this time, the non-adhesive region D2c ′ is a region having a length X2C ′ in the first direction and a length Wm in the second direction and having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view (FIG. 15A). )reference). The length relationship in the first direction between the non-adhesive region D2 and the non-adhesive regions D2p and D2c 'in the above embodiment substantially satisfies X2C = X2p + X2c'. On the other hand, X2p may be set to be substantially equal to X1.

  Next, an example of a procedure for attaching the print label L to the adherend in this modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 shows an example in which the print label L is wound around and attached to a columnar or cable-shaped adherend 302 having a radius r (diameter 2r).

  First, as shown in FIG. 16A, the release material layer 24 is peeled from the print label L having the above-described structure, and the non-adhesive layer 23 is exposed. Thereafter, as shown in the drawing, among the print labels L in the order of adhesive region D1 ′ → non-adhesive region D2a → non-adhesive region D2b → non-adhesive region D2p → non-adhesive region D2c ′ → adhesive region D3, adhesive region D1 ′, The non-adhesive region D2a and the non-adhesive region D2b are bent in a concave shape so that the side (the right side in FIG. 16A) with which the release material layer 24 is in contact is inside (not shown).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the adherend 302 is placed inside the concave shape, and the print label L is made to make one round so as to form a cylindrical body surrounding the adherend 302. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 in the pressure-sensitive adhesive region D1 ′ located on the distal end side (functions as a palm portion in the later-described joint-pasting) and the non-adhesive layer 23 in the non-adhesive region D2p (to-be-joined in the later-described palm-pasting). Are attached to each other (so-called joint-pasting). At this time, the length X2A + X2B + X2P + X2C ′ in the first direction of the non-adhesive layer 23 is at least the circumferential length 2πr or more of the adherend 302. As a result, the printed label L (the label main body portion Lm after the break lines GL and GR are broken) is fixed in its own shape by the adhesion between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 23 described above, and has a non-stick region. By making a round around the adherend 302 in a non-attached state by the D2a and the non-adhesive region D2b, it is rotatably attached to the adherend 302.

  Thereafter, the non-adhesive region D2C ′ and the adhesive region D3 that were not used in the one-round structure around the adherend 302, as indicated by the arrow G in FIG. The non-adhesive region D2a constituting the cylindrical body is formed while the bonded portion of D2p is wound around the inner peripheral side (for example, the adhesive region D1 ′ which is the palm portion is folded back as shown by the arrow and contacts the part key). → While covering the non-adhesive region D2b in this order, it is wound around the outer periphery of the regions D2a and D2b (see FIG. 16C). And the adhesion area | region D3 is adhere | attached on the outer peripheral part of the said non-adhesion area | region D2b using the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 22, and the attachment to the to-be-adhered body 302 is completed.

  According to this modification, it is possible to achieve the same effect as the effect in the self-laminating mode. Further, according to this modified example, the non-adhesive non-adhesive region D2 ′ is applied to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend 302, and the other portion is wound around the adherend 302, and then the adherend 302 is wound. The adhesive region D1 ′ that is a portion that does not surround the outer periphery of the adhesive region and the non-adhesive region D2p of the non-adhesive region D2 ′ can be bonded to each other using the adhesiveness of the adhesive region D1 ′. Moreover, it can wind around the to-be-adhered body 302 using the said adhesiveness of the adhesion area | region D3 after that the said bonding part is wound in the inner peripheral side. Thereby, it is possible to reliably perform the bonding and the winding while being wound.

(7) Others In the above, as an example of the adhesiveness, the case where the adhesiveness (adhesiveness) by the adhesive of the adhesive layer 22 is provided has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, for example, a pseudo-adhesive structure by pressure that is used for postcards and cannot be reattached once peeled off, or a structure that sticks to each other by static electricity such as a resinous sheet used for wrapping or the like may be used. . Further, as the adhesive used for the pseudo-adhesion, an adhesive having such a property that it is in a wet and wet state before being attached and cannot be attached again after being dried and peeled off may be used.

  In addition, in the above description, when there are descriptions such as “vertical”, “parallel”, and “plane”, the descriptions are not strict. That is, the terms “vertical”, “parallel”, and “plane” are acceptable in design and manufacturing tolerances and errors, and mean “substantially vertical”, “substantially parallel”, and “substantially plane”. .

  In addition, in the above description, when there are descriptions such as “same”, “equal”, “different”, etc., in terms of external dimensions and sizes, the descriptions are not strict. That is, the terms “identical”, “equal”, and “different” mean that “tolerance and error in manufacturing are allowed in design and that they are“ substantially identical ”,“ substantially equal ”, and“ substantially different ”. .

  In addition, in the above, the arrow shown in FIG. 1 etc. shows an example of a signal flow, and does not limit the signal flow direction.

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

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
