Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a product sample label having a product name or the like printed on a surface thereof, and particularly to a product sample label suitable for use as a product sample in a canned beverage vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, vending machines for beverages in cans have been manufactured by placing a real can into a cylindrical base in the form of a can or a base in which the can is bisected vertically. A substrate with a printed label similar to that of the can surface is used. The base in which the can is bisected vertically is used particularly in a vending machine which is thin in order to reduce the installation area.

Meanwhile, as a recent design of a can, there is a design in which a step is provided at the upper end of the can at the drinking side so that the diameter gradually decreases toward the upper end. Labels for product samples corresponding to this design are formed by molding a synthetic resin sheet by means such as hot pressing to form a step and a curved surface along the base. General.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, according to this conventional general configuration, there is an inconvenience that the cost is high because a mold is required, and that it is difficult to store and transport a large number of labels because it is a curved surface.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a product sample label which can be manufactured at a low cost and is easy to handle by solving this inconvenience.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve this object, the product sample label according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of parallel extending ridges on an upper end portion of a label surface made of a flexible member such as a synthetic resin sheet. Is provided by printing.

In order to achieve the above object, a label for a product sample according to a second aspect of the present invention is provided at an upper end portion of a label surface made of a flexible member such as a synthetic resin sheet. It is characterized in that a plurality of parallel extending ridges are formed by thickly printing ink.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the label for a product sample according to the third aspect of the present invention is the label according to the second aspect, wherein the printing ink is an ultraviolet curable ink or a foaming agent. Is characterized by being an ink mixed with

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing the front side of the product sample label, FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a main part, and FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing a use state.

As shown in FIG. 1, the label 1 is printed on the entire surface of a flexible synthetic resin sheet with ground color printing, and then printed with product names 2 such as “Lemon Tea” and “Lemon Tea”. doing. In the upper part of the label 1, cuts 3 and 4 are made from both left and right sides, and a pair of left and right locking pieces 5 and 6 are provided. These locking pieces 5 and 6 are to be locked on the inner surface of a cylindrical base 7 (see FIG. 3) shaped like a can formed by injection molding of synthetic resin, and have inclined edges 5a and 5a of triangular portions. 6a resiliently contacts the inner surface of the top of the base 7 to prevent the label 1 from coming off the base 7.

An opening 8 for fitting the label 1 is provided on the front surface of the base 7, and a projection (not shown) for positioning the left and right ends of the label 1 is provided inside the rear surface. ing. Further, the base 7 is formed with three steps 9 at the upper end corresponding to the drinking side so as to gradually reduce the diameter toward the upper end. Further, a mounting portion (not shown) for installation at a predetermined position in a vending machine (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the base 7.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at the upper end of the label 1, three protruding ridges 10, 11, 12 extending in parallel with each other are provided at positions sandwiched between a pair of notches 3, 4 on the left and right sides. ing. These ridges 10, 11, and 12 may be formed by screen printing using, for example, a transparent ultraviolet curable ink. More specifically, the ridges 10, 11, and 12 are made of a stainless screen plate of 100 to 150 mesh and 40 to 60 m ^2. By printing with an ink amount of / Kg, a film thickness of 40 to 60 μm can be secured.

The above-mentioned ridges 10, 11, and 12 may be formed by printing using a transparent ink mixed with a foaming agent, heating the foaming agent at a foaming temperature for about 2 minutes, and expanding the foaming agent. Good. In this case, the ratio of the ink to the foaming agent is preferably about 9: 1 by weight. Then, the ink having a higher solid content and a higher film thickness after printing can obtain a higher swell.

Since the label 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, the label 1 is curved, and each of the locking pieces 5 and 6 is bent downward by using the cuts 3 and 4. When the left and right ends are inserted into the base 7 whose upper end is reduced in diameter from the opening 8 and the left and right ends are positioned at predetermined positions in the base 7, the inclined edges 5a, 6a of the locking pieces 5, 6 are fixed. 7. Make contact with the inner surface of the top of 7. As a result, the label 1 is held in the base 7 in a predetermined state. In this state, each of the ridges 10, 11, and 12 is visually recognized in three dimensions, and has the same visual effect as the step 9.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Each of the ridges 10, 11, and 12 is formed by thickening the ink by printing a plurality of times with normal printing ink. Is also good. The number of the ridges 10, 11, 12 is not limited to three. Further, the locking pieces 5 and 6 are configured so as to be compatible with the base 7 to be mounted, and the shape thereof can be variously changed, and in some cases, it is not necessary to provide them. Furthermore, the label 1 is most preferably a synthetic resin sheet, but may be a synthetic paper having flexibility.

[Effect of the invention]

 In this way, according to the product sample label according to the invention of claim 1 or claim 2 of the present application, three-dimensional press molding is not required, so that the label can be manufactured at low cost and is a sheet-shaped label. It takes up little space when storing and transporting, is easy to handle, and has the effect of providing a three-dimensional visual effect when used.

According to the product sample label of the invention of claim 3 of the present application, in addition to the above-described effects, the printing of the ridge only needs to be performed once, so that the production is more efficient and easier. It works.
