Description

  The present invention relates to a care label for displaying a size, a trademark, and the like attached to an underwear or a shirt, and a manufacturing apparatus thereof.

  In general, clothes such as underwear and shirts are provided with a care label indicating a washing suitability and a size. The care label is generally called a laundry name, and is used to indicate a brand name, a size, a body shape, a washing picture display, a quality or a place of origin, a demerit display or a note based on the product liability law.

  The care label is used by printing display portions on both sides of a strip-shaped fabric and then sewing or welding one side of the strip to the clothing. When there are many written contents, two care labels are sewn or welded, or one relatively long care label is folded in half and sewn or welded to the clothes.

  However, when two care labels are stacked and attached to the clothing, or when one care label is folded in two and attached to the clothing, the lower side of the clothing purchaser or user is superimposed. It is difficult to notice the contents of the label. For the same reason, when two or more care labels are attached and written in multiple languages, the purchaser or user is unaware of the language written on the second and subsequent care labels from the front side. Probability is high.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that even if a plurality of care labels are stacked and attached to clothes, the purchaser or user of the clothes can easily display the contents displayed on the second and subsequent care labels from the front side. It is to provide a noticeable measure. In addition, when multiple care labels that are written in multiple languages are attached to clothing, the purchaser or user of the clothing may notice the language in the second or later language from the front side. Is to provide a strategy.

  The superposition care label according to the present invention is a superposition care label provided with a plurality of superposition care labels, wherein the plurality of care labels are fixed to each other at least at one point when viewed from the surface. In any of the plurality of care labels, a part of the care label can be visually recognized, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

  Each of the plurality of care labels may be bent on one straight line. The plurality of care labels may be printed in different languages. Further, the plurality of care labels may be fixed by ultrasonic welding.

  An apparatus for manufacturing a superposition care label according to the present invention includes an ultrasonic horn for generating ultrasonic waves and a blade provided so as to face the ultrasonic horn, and the ultrasonic horn approaches the blade to generate ultrasonic waves. It is possible to accumulate and accumulate an ultrasonic cutting part that cuts the cloth between the ultrasonic horn and the blade when generated and a care label made by cutting the cloth by the ultrasonic cutting part. A stacker, an ultrasonic horn for generating ultrasonic waves, and a blade provided to face the ultrasonic horn, and the ultrasonic horn generates ultrasonic waves in proximity to the blade. An ultrasonic welding part for welding a plurality of care label parts between the horn and the blade, and a control part for controlling the ultrasonic cutting part, the stacker and the ultrasonic welding part, and cutting the fabric The ultrasonic cutting unit is controlled so as to make a care label of a predetermined size, and the care label made by the ultrasonic cutting unit is accumulated and accumulated until a predetermined number of sheets, Control that controls the stacker to send the care label to the ultrasonic welding portion in a state of being overlapped, and controls the ultrasonic welding portion to weld the predetermined number of portions of the care label The above-mentioned subject is solved by this.

  According to the overlay care label of the present invention, a purchaser or a user of clothes to which the overlap care label is attached can easily recognize that there are a plurality of care labels. Thereby, even if it is the display content described in the care label after the 2nd sheet from the front side, possibility that it will be overlooked by a purchaser or a user is reduced.

  In addition, according to the overlay care label of the present invention, it is possible to print the display in a plurality of languages on a plurality of care labels. Can be easily recognized.

  Furthermore, according to the overlay care label manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an overlay care label that exhibits the above-described effects.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a superposition care label 100 of the present invention. The superposition care label 100 is intended to be attached to clothes by means such as sewing, and it is planned that a brand of a product, a display of a washing picture, and the like are printed. 1, (a) to (c) are a plan view, a side view, and a bottom view of the superposition care label 100, respectively.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a superposition care label 100 is a superposition of four care labels 101 to 104 having different sizes. In the portion 105 of FIG. 1B, the four care labels 101 to 104 are fixed to each other by bonding, sewing or pressure bonding. Preferably, the four care labels 101-104 are ultrasonically welded at portion 105. In FIG. 1B, the care labels 101 to 104 have a certain thickness for the sake of easy understanding, but in actuality, the care labels 101 to 104 need to have a thickness as shown in FIG. There is no.

  Although the superposition care label 100 of FIG. 1 is a superposition of four care labels, the second and subsequent care labels 102 to 104 from the front side also have the tip portion (in FIG. 1A). The lower part of the care labels 102 to 104, that is, the right end portion of the care labels 102 to 104 in FIG. 1B) can be viewed from the front side. Accordingly, the purchaser or user of the clothes to which the superposition care label 100 is attached can easily recognize that a plurality of care labels are attached, so that the second and subsequent care labels are displayed from the front side. The possibility of overlooking the content is reduced.

  FIG.1 (d) is a top view of the superposition care label 110 which printed the display on the four care labels 111-114 in a different language, respectively. On the four care labels 111 to 114, the display is printed in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, respectively. If you look at the superposition care label 110, you will first see the Japanese display on the care label 111, but if you look closely, you will notice that the care labels 112-114 below display such as English or Chinese. .

  FIG. 1E is a plan view when the first care label 111 is turned from the front side of the superposition care label 110. The purchaser or user of the clothing who has seen the superposition care label 110 notices that a plurality of care labels are attached to the clothing due to the difference in perspective with each care label. The display after the second sheet will be confirmed. In the example of FIG. 1 (e), the purchaser and the user can see an English display such as “COTTON 100%” written on the care label 112.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing another overlapping care label 200 of the present invention. 2, (a) to (c) are a plan view, a side view, and a bottom view of the overlapping care label 200, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the superposition care label 200 has the same appearance as the superposition care label 100 of FIG. 1 when viewed from the front side. However, the care labels 201 to 204 included in the overlapping care label 200 are different from the care labels 101 to 104 included in the overlapping care label 100 in that they have the same size and shape.

  It is clear from the side view shown in FIG. 2B that the care labels 201 to 204 have the same size and shape. The four care labels 201 to 204 are fixed to each other at the portion 205 by bonding, sewing, or pressure bonding. Preferably, the four care labels 201-204 are ultrasonically welded at a portion 205. The superposition care label 200 has an advantage that the care labels 201 to 204 included therein have the same shape and are easy to manufacture and handle.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing still another overlapping care label 300 of the present invention. 3, (a) to (c) are a plan view, a side view, and a bottom view of the overlapping care label 300, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the superposition care label 300 has an appearance similar to that of the superposition care label 100 of FIG. 1 when viewed from the front side. However, the superposition care label 300 is different from the superposition care label 100 of FIG. 1 in that it is composed of two care labels 301 and 302.

  As shown in the side view of FIG. 3B, the two care labels 301 and 302 are bent at a portion 305, respectively. The two care labels 301 and 302 are fixed to each other at the portion 305 by adhesion, sewing, pressure bonding, or the like. Preferably, care labels 301 and 302 are ultrasonically welded at portion 305.

  FIG. 3D is a plan view showing a state in which the two care labels 301 and 302 included in the superposition care label 300 are opened and arranged. Dotted lines 301a and 302a indicate lines where the care labels 301 and 302 are bent at the portion 305, respectively. The overlapping care label 300 is different from the overlapping care label 100 of FIG. 1 in that the number of care labels included in the overlapping care label is reduced by bending and using a long care label.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic side view of an apparatus for manufacturing the superposition care label of the present invention. The manufacturing apparatus 400 includes a tape roll 410, transfer rollers 420 and 421, a transfer sensor 430, control units 440 and 441, a clamper 450, a weight 460, a reading sensor 470, blades 480 and 481, and ultrasonic waves. Horns 490 and 491 and a stacker 495 are provided. The care label manufacturing apparatus 400 may be provided with, in addition to the above-described components, a straightening heater that stretches the wrinkles of the fabric, a folding portion that folds the cut care label, etc., but these components are omitted for simplicity of explanation. To do.

  The tape roll 410 is obtained by winding a long fabric 411 cut into a belt shape on an arbitrary core. The fabric 411 is cut by the care label manufacturing apparatus 400 and finally becomes the care label 412. The material of the fabric 411 is a fabric made of synthetic fiber or natural fiber, rubber, synthetic resin or the like, but is preferably a woven fabric made of a flat belt-like fabric woven with white polyester yarn. Normally, there is a display portion printed with blue, red, black, or other ink on one or both sides of a fabric for producing a care label. However, for the sake of simplification of explanation, FIG. 1 (d) and (e) are excluded. In each drawing of the present application, the display portion is omitted.

  The transfer rollers 420 and 421 are rollers for transferring the cloth 411 in the downstream direction. Preferably, one or both of the rotating bodies are rotated with the cloth 411 sandwiched therebetween, whereby the friction between the rotating body and the cloth 411 is achieved. It is comprised from a pair of rotary body which can pull the fabric 411 downstream.

  The transfer sensor 430 is a sensor that can detect the transfer of the fabric 411 and is provided to stop the operation of the transfer roller 420 when the fabric 411 is not present. Specifically, when the transfer sensor 430 senses the fabric 411, the transfer sensor 430 sends a sensing signal to the control unit 440, and the control unit 440 performs control so that the transfer roller 420 operates. On the other hand, when the transfer sensor 430 does not sense the fabric 411, the transfer sensor 430 sends a non-sensing signal to the control unit 440, and the control unit 440 performs control so that the transfer roller 420 stops. The control of the transfer roller 420 by the control unit 440 may be electrical or mechanical.

  The clamper 450 is an instrument that determines the position through which the fabric 411 passes by sandwiching the fabric 411 being transferred. The weight 460 is an instrument that applies tension to the fabric 411 in order to facilitate the transfer of the fabric 411. The reading sensor 470 detects whether or not the printing surface of the fabric 411 is correctly printed. When the printing surface of the fabric 411 is not correctly printed, the reading sensor 470 sends an abnormal signal to the control unit 441. When receiving an abnormal signal from the reading sensor 470, the control unit 441 stops the operation of the clamper 450, the transfer roller 421, the blade 480, the ultrasonic horn 491, and the like. Note that the clamper 450, the weight 460, and the reading sensor 470 are not essential components of the present invention, and the object of the present invention is achieved even when these are not present or when other appropriate alternative means are provided. obtain.

  In addition to the above functions, the control unit 441 has a function of controlling the vertical movement of the clamper 450, the rotation of the transfer roller 421, and the operation interval of the blade 480, the ultrasonic horn 491, and the like. The length of 412 can be adjusted.

  A blade 480 and an ultrasonic horn 490 are provided on the downstream side of the transfer roller 421 so as to face each other. The blade 480 can move up and down, and moves up and down in response to a control signal from the control unit 441. Further, a blade 481 and an ultrasonic horn 491 are provided on the downstream side of the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490 so as to face each other. The blade 481 also moves up and down in response to a control signal from the control unit 441 in the same manner as the blade 480. On the other hand, the ultrasonic horns 490 and 491 are provided so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the fabric 411.

  The blades 480 and 481 are preferably made of metal and are made of various alloys such as stainless steel (SUS) and chromium molybdenum steel (SCM). The ultrasonic horns 490 and 491 are resonance bodies for transmitting vibration energy to the outside. Usually, ultrasonic waves are generated by resonating mechanical vibrations converted by a vibrator from an ultrasonic signal generated by an oscillation circuit. It is issued outside. The ultrasonic horns 490 and 491 are preferably made of metal, and an aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy, a die steel or the like is used as the material thereof. The illustration of the oscillation circuit and the vibrator provided inside or outside the ultrasonic horns 490 and 491 is omitted.

  In addition, since the combination of the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490 is used for cutting the fabric 411 by ultrasonic waves, the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490 can be collectively considered as an ultrasonic cutting unit. Similarly, since the combination of the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 is used for welding a plurality of care labels 412 by ultrasonic waves, the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 can be considered as an ultrasonic welded portion. .

  When the ultrasonic wave is emitted from the ultrasonic horn 490 in a state where the blade 480 moves downward and has a slight gap with the fabric 411, the vibration is transmitted to the blade 480 and the fabric 411 is cut. Cut fabrics 411 are stacked on a downstream stacker 495 as a care label 412. For example, when the overlapping care label 100 of FIG. 1 is manufactured, the care labels 412 stacked in the stacker 495 correspond to 1 to 4 of the 4 care labels 101 to 104.

  Thereafter, the stacker 495 cancels the accumulation of the care label 412, and is sent between the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 in a state where a predetermined number of care labels 412 are stacked. Accumulation and release of the care label 412 by the stacker 495 is controlled by the control unit 441. Further, the predetermined number of care labels 412 are moved from the stacker 495 between the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 by the belt conveyor 496.

  The blade 481 is a blade for ultrasonic welding, and the tip thereof does not have to be sharply pointed. When an ultrasonic wave is emitted from the ultrasonic horn 491 in a state where the blade 481 moves downward and there is a slight gap between the blade 481 and a predetermined number of care labels 412, a predetermined portion is formed in a portion along the tip of the blade 481. A number of care labels 412 are welded together to complete a superposition care label. The part welded here corresponds to the part 105 in the case of the superposition care label 100 of FIG. The completed superposition care label is transferred to a product accumulation place by a belt conveyor 497.

  Note that the basic structure and operation of the apparatus for manufacturing the superposition care labels 200 and 300 of FIGS. 2 and 3 are the same as those of the manufacturing apparatus 400. However, in the case of the apparatus for manufacturing the superposition care label 300 in FIG. 3, an apparatus for folding the care labels 301 and 302 is required downstream of the stacker 495. In FIG. 4, the fabric 411 may be printed in advance, but when the printer is incorporated in the manufacturing apparatus 400, the fabric 411 may not be printed in advance.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a control flow of the stacker 495, the blades 480 and 481, and the ultrasonic horns 490 and 491 by the control unit 441. Although the control unit 441 also controls other parts, the flow relating to the control of other parts is omitted here. Further, the following control flow is an example, and any control method can be used as long as it can actually manufacture various overlay care labels according to the present invention.

  In FIG. 5, block 510 indicates control regarding the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490, block 520 indicates control regarding the stacker 495, and block 530 indicates control regarding the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491, respectively. When the same fabric or care label is viewed, the process is performed in the order of blocks 510, 520, and 530, but the operations of blocks 510, 520, and 530 are performed in parallel on the manufacturing apparatus 400. Therefore, the control unit 441 performs the control indicated by the blocks 510, 520, and 530 in parallel.

  In block 510, the control unit 441 moves the blade 480 downward until the blade 480 comes close to the ultrasonic horn 490 (step 511). After the blade 480 comes close to the ultrasonic horn 490, the ultrasonic horn 490 emits ultrasonic waves to cut the fabric 411 (step 512). Thereafter, the blade 480 is moved upward so that the blade 480 moves away from the ultrasonic horn 490 (step 513). The control unit 441 waits for a certain period of time regarding the control of the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490 so that the care label produced by cutting the fabric 411 has a desired length (step 514).

  The waiting time in step 514 depends on the length of the required care label and the transfer speed of the fabric 411 by the transfer rollers 420 and 421. For example, if the required care label length is 5 cm and the transfer speed is 10 cm per second, the time required for the vertical movement of the blade 480 and ultrasonic cutting by the ultrasonic horn 490 is 0.3 seconds, The waiting time at 514 is 0.2 seconds. When the standby in step 514 ends, control returns to step 511.

  Next, the block 520 will be described. The control unit 441 controls the stacker 495 so that the care labels made by cutting the fabric 411 with the blade 480 and the ultrasonic horn 490 are accumulated one by one (step 521). In step 522, it is determined whether or not a predetermined number of care labels have been accumulated. If the predetermined number of care labels has not been accumulated, the process returns to step 521. If it is determined in step 522 that a predetermined number of care labels have been accumulated, control proceeds to step 523. In step 523, the control unit 441 controls the stacker 495 to cancel the accumulation of the care labels and to send the superimposed care labels between the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491.

  The determination in step 522 may be performed by the control unit 441 or may be performed by the stacker 495. When the determination is made by the control unit 441, the stacker 495 needs to send a storage completion signal to the control unit 441 every time the care label is stored, and the control unit 441 needs to hold the numerical value of the number of stored care labels. is there. The predetermined number in step 522 is the number of care labels included in one of the superposition care labels to be manufactured. For example, when the superposition care label of FIG. 1 is manufactured, the number is four.

  Finally, block 530 will be described. First, the control unit 441 refers to the control state of the block 520 and determines whether or not the care label superimposed in step 523 of the block 520 is currently sent between the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 ( Step 531). If it is determined in step 531 that the care label is being sent, the control unit 441 moves the blade 480 downward until the blade 481 comes close to the ultrasonic horn 491 (step 532). If it is determined in step 531 that the care label is not sent, the control unit 441 repeats the determination in step 531. After the blade 481 comes close to the ultrasonic horn 491, ultrasonic waves are emitted from the ultrasonic horn 491 to weld a plurality of care labels (step 533). Thereafter, the blade 481 is moved upward so that the blade 481 moves away from the ultrasonic horn 491 (step 534). In parallel with step 534, the welded care label is transferred to the final product collection site by a belt conveyor.

  In the above embodiment, the number of care labels included in the superposition care label is four or two, but this number is arbitrary. For example, even if five care labels are stacked, the object of the present invention can be achieved. Further, even a single care label folded at one point can have a configuration similar to the superposition care label 300 of FIG. Furthermore, the superposition care label may be manufactured semi-automatically. For example, the welding process using the blade 481 and the ultrasonic horn 491 in the manufacturing apparatus 400 of FIG. 4 may be replaced with manual sewing.

  It can be applied to a care label and a manufacturing apparatus thereof. The present invention can also be applied to labels made of various kinds of paper, cloth, and other flexible materials.
