Example 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing the concept of a roll sealing tape printing / feeding device and a printing / sealing device used in the sealing method of the present invention. In the following embodiments, the printing sealing device 1 will be described as a device including both a printing / feeding device for a rolled sealing tape and a printing / sealing device. The printing sealing device 1 includes a tape (sealing tape) 2, a tape transport device (sealing tape transport device) 3 that pulls out and transports the tape 2, and a printing device (shipping destination) that prints destination information on the surface of the tape 2 that is pulled out. (Information printing device) 4, a tape supply device (sealing tape supply device) 5 for supplying the tape 2 to the vicinity of the cardboard (sealing object, box) D, a sealing device 6 for sealing the cardboard D, and the cardboard D are conveyed. It is comprised by the corrugated cardboard supply apparatus 7 to do.

  Here, the device including the tape 2, the tape conveying device 3, the printing device 4, and the tape supply device 5 is a printing / feeding device for the roll-shaped sealing tape, and further the sealing device 6 is added to the printing / printing of the roll-shaped sealing tape. It can be understood as a sealing device. Further, the tape transport device 3 and the tape supply device 5 can be regarded as one device for feeding a tape. These devices 3 and 5 stably transport and supply the tape 2.

  The tape transport device 3, the printing device 4, the tape supply device 5 and the cardboard supply device 7 are each connected to a motor M, and these motors M are controlled by the control unit 8 to transport and supply the tape 2, print and corrugated cardboard D. Predetermined operations can be performed for transporting

  The printing sealing device 1 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. The printing sealing device 1 is a roll of tape 2 positioned on one side, a printing device 4 positioned in the center, a sealing device 6 positioned on the other side, and a cardboard supply for supplying cardboard D. The apparatus 7 and the base part 10 which supports them are provided. On both sides of the printing device 4, a tape transport device 3 for pulling out the tape 2 and a tape supply device 5 for supplying the tape 2 to the vicinity of the cardboard D are installed. These parts are integrally connected to the base 10 by a support member (not shown). Further, the height of the base 10 may be adjusted according to work, or the position of the sealing device 6 may be moved up and down according to the size of the cardboard D.

  The cardboard supply device 7 will be described. The cardboard supply device 7 includes a plurality of rollers 70 and a pair of endless belts 71 positioned so as to contact the side surface of the cardboard D. It is assumed that the user (operator or the like) has folded the inner flap FI and the outer flap FO of the cardboard D before placing them on the printing sealing device 1 in advance (see FIG. 4). When the cardboard D is put on the roller 70 and advanced, the side of the cardboard D advances forward while being gripped on both sides by the pair of endless belts 71 and moves to the bonding position of the tape 2.

  Next, the tape 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3C, the tape 2 used in the present invention has a silicon coating (peeling coating) 21 on the surface of the thermal paper 22 and an adhesive layer (sealing adhesive layer) 23 on the back of the thermal paper 22. It is formed in a state where it overlaps several times in a roll shape. That is, the tape 2 is a linerless type tape that does not use a release paper on the back surface, and the silicon coating 21 is formed on the surface of the tape 2, so that the adhesive layer 23 on the back surface and the surface of the tape are in a roll shape. Even if they overlap, the silicon coating 21 does not become a release agent and the tape does not adhere and peel off. That is, since the silicon coating 21 and the adhesive layer 23 can be easily attached and peeled, they can be formed in a roll shape.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, on the surface of the tape 2, a destination address 2a, a bar code 2b indicating information on the package, and a caution note 2c such as a handling caution are printed. Here, regarding the precautions 2c such as handling precautions, it may be possible to use red ink or the like, and in that case, printing may be performed at a stage before shifting to the printing device 4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, on the surface of another type of tape 2, the product name 2d, model 2e, production date 2f, production lot number 2g, shipping destination 2h, delivery date 2i, barcode 2b Is printed. As described above, the information written on the tape 2 can be variously changed. Therefore, in the past, invoices, product labels, caution labels, etc. were separately attached to the cardboard. However, since all information is integrally printed on the tape 2, it is only necessary to attach the tape 2 and work efficiency is improved. . Moreover, the dimension of the longitudinal direction of the tape 2 can be appropriately changed depending on the size of the corrugated cardboard D to which these tapes 2 are attached, and the length in the width direction can also be changed.

  The printing device 4 will be specifically described. The printing device 4 is formed of a printer main body 40 and a platen roller 42. A thermal head (printing head) 41 is mounted on the printer main body 40, and characters or the like can be printed on the surface of the tape 2 by thermally discoloring the tape 2 formed of thermal paper by the thermal head 41. is there. The platen roller 42 receives the pressure of the thermal head 41 and conveys the paper while supporting the paper so that stable printing can be performed.

  Further, a tape transport device 3 is disposed in front (right side) with respect to the printing device 4, and a tape supply device 5 is disposed in the rear (left side) with respect to the printing device 4. These tape transport / supply devices 3 and 5 support the tape 2 by sandwiching it with upper and lower rollers. Since the tape transport / supply devices 3 and 5 are controlled by the motor M, the tape 2 can be transported at a constant speed when transporting the tape 2, and stable printing quality can be maintained.

  Further, the drawing of the tape 2 may be stopped only during printing. Alternatively, the speed at which the tape 2 is pulled out may be increased, and the speed may be decreased in the printing stage and increased again in the supply stage. In addition, the tape 2 may flow at a constant speed in all operations, and the tape transport device 3 and the tape supply device 5 are provided, so that various speed changes are possible.

  Next, the sealing device 6 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. The sealing device 6 located at the rear (left side) of the tape supply device 5 is formed by a front pressing portion 61, a rear pressing portion 62, and a cutter portion 63, and is mostly accommodated in the case 60. The front pressing portion 61 is disposed so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft portion 61b, and an arm portion 61c extends downward from the rotation shaft portion 61b. A front pressing roller 61a is rotatably attached to the tip of the arm portion 61c. Further, the rear pressing portion 62 is disposed so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft portion 62b, and an arm portion 62c is extended upward and downward from the rotation shaft portion 62b. A rear pressing roller 62 a is rotatably attached to the lower end of the arm portion 62.

  The front pressing part 61 and the rear pressing part 62 are connected by a long and thin connecting rod 64. The front pressing portion 61 and the connecting rod 64 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft 61d formed below the rotating shaft portion 61b. The rear pressing portion 62 and the connecting rod 64 are rotatably connected by a connecting shaft 62d formed above the rotating shaft portion 62b. Further, the upper side of the rear pressing portion 62 is urged by a spring 65 in a direction of contracting inward (right rotation with respect to the rotating shaft portion 62b). Here, the rotation of the rear pressing portion 62 is restricted by stoppers 67 and 67 disposed above and below the rotating shaft portion 62 b of the rear pressing portion 62.

  Further, a cutter part 63 is disposed between the front pressing part 61 and the rear pressing part 62. The cutter part 63 is disposed so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft part 63b, and a blade 63a is disposed so as to protrude forward under the long and narrow arm part 63c. The upper part of the arm part 63c is urged by a spring 66 positioned above the rotation shaft part 63b in a direction of contracting inward (left rotation with respect to the rotation shaft part 63b).

  Next, the overall flow and operation of the printing sealing apparatus 1 will be described. First, the tape 2 wound in a roll shape is pulled out by a pulling action of a roller or the like of the tape transport device 3, and address information such as address, name, and name is printed on the tape surface by the printing device 4. Here, the length from printing to the next printing location is measured by the number of rotations of the motor M or the like. That is, printing is performed on the tape 2 at a predetermined interval. The printing unit R is located in the middle of one sealing unit length L necessary for sealing the cardboard D, and the next printing (for example, the next printing) from the position where the preceding printing is performed (for example, the printing start point). The travel distance of the tape 2 up to the print start point) is detected by the tape travel length detector 9, and for example, printing is started for each sealed unit length L. Alternatively, a portion to be detected (for example, a mark) may be previously added to the tape 2 for each length L, and this may be read by a sensor, and the position thereof or the position immediately thereafter may be set as the print start position. In this case, the sensor or the like serves as a tape printing start position detection unit. When the printing is finished, the tape 2 is sent downstream together with the printed part and sealed (see FIG. 6).

  The operation of the sealing device 6 when the upper part of the cardboard D is sealed will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 7A, a front pressing roller 61a is disposed on the left side of the tape 2 supplied by the tape supply device 5. When the cardboard D is moved to the left by the cardboard supply device 7, the tape 2 is sandwiched between the front pressing roller 61a and the cardboard D. At this time, since the tape 2 located on the side surface of the cardboard D is pressed by the front pressing roller 61a, the cardboard D and the tape 2 are firmly bonded.

  When the cardboard D further moves to the left, the front pressing roller 61a moves above the cardboard D. At this time, the front pressing portion 61 rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft portion 61b. And simultaneously with rotation of the front press part 61, the connection rod 64 moves back. As the connecting rod 64 moves, the rear pressing portion 62 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft portion 62b against the urging force of the spring 65. When the cardboard D further moves to the left, the rear bottom 63d of the cutter part 63 moves upward and moves to a position where the upper surface of the cardboard D slides. At this time, the cutter part 63 rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft part 63b against the urging force of the spring 66. Further, since the blade 63a moves in contact with the rotating front pressing portion 61, the cardboard D is not damaged (see FIG. 4).

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the front pressing roller 61a and the rear pressing roller 62a rotate inward, so that the distance between them becomes narrow. Further, the bottom 63 d of the cutter part 63 moves so as to slide on the upper surface of the cardboard D. At this time, the blade 63a moves at a position not in contact with the upper surface of the cardboard D. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the tape 2 is attached along the closing line C of the cardboard D. At this time, since the tape 2 is pressed by the front pressing roller 61a and the rear pressing roller 62a moving on the upper surface of the cardboard D, the tape 2 is firmly bonded.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the corrugated cardboard D is further moved to the left, the front pressing roller 61 a is separated from the upper surface of the corrugated cardboard D. At this time, since the front pressing portion 61 and the rear pressing portion 62 are connected by the connecting rod 64, the rear pressing roller 62 a rides on the upper portion of the cardboard D even if the front pressing portion 61 is separated from the upper portion of the cardboard D. As long as there is no descent. However, since the cutter part 63 is a separate body and is not connected, the cutter part 63 descends when it leaves the upper surface of the cardboard D. That is, the cutter part 63 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft part 63b. At this time, since the tape 2 is stretched by the front pressing roller 61a and the rear pressing roller 62a, the tape 2 is cut by the blade 63a swung down by the cutter portion 63 (see FIG. 7D).

  Further, when the cardboard D moves to the left, the rear pressing roller 62a is detached from the cardboard D and descends. At this time, since the rear pressing roller 62a rotates clockwise with respect to the rotating shaft portion 62d, the tip of the tape 2 located on the side surface of the cardboard D is pressed by the rear pressing roller 62a, Adhesion becomes strong. In this way, the tape 2 is adhered to the cardboard D, and the sealing of the cardboard D is completed. At this time, the front pressing portion 61 rotates counterclockwise around the rotation shaft portion 61b, moves to the rear of the tape 20 positioned in the front, and stops (see FIG. 7E). These operations are repeated each time the cardboard D is sent.

  In this way, the tape 2 wound in a roll shape has the glue layer 23 formed on the back surface, and the silicon film 21 is formed on the front surface at a position facing the glue layer 23. Also, the front and back surfaces do not adhere to each other, and the release paper can be prevented from becoming dust.

  Further, since the shipping address information of the package is printed on the tape 2 by the printing device 4, the tape 2 itself also serves as an address label. Further, since the tape 2 can be used as a sealing tape 2 for the cardboard D by sticking along the closing line C of the cardboard D, it functions as a sealing tape 2 having a function of a mailing label.

  In addition, since the tape transport device 3 and the tape supply device 5 are provided, the transport and supply of the tape 2 are stably performed. Further, when the tape 2 is pasted on the cardboard D, it is automatically pasted by the sealing device 6, so that work efficiency is improved, labor saving is achieved, and a release paper is used on the back side after the sealing tape is pasted. Since there is no need to put a label, it is possible to save time and effort to put an address label and to reduce garbage.

(Example 2)
The case where the sealing tape 20 of another form is used for the printing sealing apparatus 1 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the tape 20 has a silicon film 21 as a release film formed on both end surfaces in the width direction of the thermal paper 22. Here, when the thermal paper 22 constituting the surface of the tape 20 and the silicon film 21 are combined to form a tape base material K, a release film blank in which the silicon film 21 does not exist so as to occupy an intermediate position in the width direction of the tape base material K. A portion 26 is formed. Further, a perforation (separation assisting portion) 20b (a cut portion may be formed or a cut line may be printed) is formed on the outer edge of the release coating blank portion 26. Further, a paste layer (sealing paste layer) 23 is formed on the back surface of the tape base K at a position facing the silicon coating 21. A sealing paste layer blank portion 27 is continuously formed in a band shape in the longitudinal direction of the tape substrate K with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26 at an intermediate position in the width direction of the tape substrate K with respect to the glue layer 23. ing.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 8A, a stamping portion (a stamped portion) 20a is printed inside the perforation 20b. In addition, barcodes 20c are printed at three locations. This bar code 20c is printed to cope with so-called EDI that exchanges data related to transactions as electronic data using a computer. Here, when the tape 20 is affixed to the cardboard D, the tape 20 is bent in the vicinity of the corner portions 20d and 20d. Further, when the tape 20 is affixed to the cardboard D, the closing line C (see FIG. 4) of the cardboard D comes to be near the center of the tape base material K in the width direction. For this reason, the barcode 20c can be read from the upper surface and both side surfaces of the cardboard D.

  In such a tape 20, a receipt mark (confirmation mark) indicating that the consignee has received the package is stamped on the marking portion 20a in the release coating blank portion 26, and the tape 20 is cut by the perforation 20b. This can be proof of receipt. Moreover, you may form the knob | pick part 20f so that it may be cut off easily. If the silicon coating 21 is formed on the stamping portion 20a, ink or the like is repelled by the silicon coating 21 and cannot be stamped. However, a release coating blank portion 26 is formed on the stamping portion 20a. Therefore, it can be stamped without problems. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a reception signature part (a part where a confirmation signature is given) instead of the stamp part 20a. The stamped portion is a separable portion 20e that can be separated along the perforation 20b, and the separated piece can be used as proof of receipt. Further, since the separable portion 20e is formed at one place within the range of one sealing unit length L and is located in the sealing adhesive layer blank portion 27, the back surface is not adhered to the cardboard D. Can be easily cut out. Further, since the sealing glue layer blank portion 27 is formed with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26, even if the tape 20 is rolled, the release coating blank portion 26 on the front surface and the sealing paste layer 23 on the back surface are bonded. Nothing happens. Therefore, since it is not necessary to use release paper, it is good for the environment. By using such a tape 20, it is possible to use a tape having a function as an invoice in the printing sealing apparatus 1 as a sealing tape. Become.

  Here, the release coating blank portion 26 is configured such that the silicon coating 21 does not exist. However, a coating material that can be used for stamping or signature is applied to the portion on the silicon coating 21 where the stamping or signature is to be applied. It is good also as the peeling film blank part 26. FIG. With this configuration, the back surface of the thermal paper 22 is similarly long in the longitudinal direction of the tape base K with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26 at the intermediate position in the width direction of the tape base K with respect to the sealing paste layer 23. By continuously forming the sealing glue layer blank portion 27 in a band shape, the tape 20 can be used without any problem even if it is in a roll shape, and thus can be used in the printing sealing device 1 as well.

  Further, the peeling coating blank portion 26 is formed with a stamping portion 20a in place of a continuous and strip-like configuration at a position facing the adhesive layer 23 in the longitudinal direction of the tape 20 on one sealing unit length L. It is good also as a structure which makes only the part the peeling film blank part 26, and provides one place on 1 sealing unit length L. FIG.

(Example 3)
Furthermore, the case where another form of sealing tape 20 'is used will be described. As shown in FIG. 9B, the tape 20 ′ has a silicon film 21 that is a release film on both end surfaces in the width direction of the thermal paper 22. Here, when the thermal paper 22 constituting the surface of the tape 20 ′ and the silicon coating 21 are combined to form a tape substrate K, a release coating in which the silicon coating 21 does not exist so as to occupy an intermediate position in the width direction of the tape substrate K. A blank portion 26 is formed. Further, an intermediate glue layer 24 is formed on the back surface of the tape substrate K. And the reinforcing tape material 25 is joined to the back side of the tape base material K so that the tape base material K is lined in the longitudinal direction in the intermediate glue layer 24. Further, a paste layer (sealing paste layer) 23 is formed on the back surface of the reinforcing tape member 25 at a position facing the silicon coating 21. A sealing paste layer blank portion 27 is continuously formed in a band shape in the longitudinal direction of the tape substrate K with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26 at an intermediate position in the width direction of the tape substrate K with respect to the glue layer 23. ing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9C, on the surface of the reinforcing tape material 25 corresponding to the back surface of the release coating blank portion 26 of the tape base K, the back surface of the release coating blank portion 26 of the tape base K and the reinforcing tape are provided. An intermediate glue layer blank portion 28 that does not have the intermediate glue layer 24 and prevents adhesion to the surface of the material 25 is formed. Further, in order to separate the release coating blank portion 26 from the tape substrate K, a perforation (separation assisting portion) 20b corresponding to the release coating blank portion 26 (position of the tape substrate K above the outer edge of the intermediate adhesive layer 28). (A cut portion may be formed or a cut line may be printed).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9A, a stamping portion 20a is printed inside the perforation 20b. In addition, barcodes 20c are printed at three locations. This bar code 20c is printed to cope with so-called EDI that exchanges data related to transactions as electronic data using a computer. Here, when the tape 20 'is applied to the corrugated cardboard D, the tape 20' is bent in the vicinity of the corner portions 20d and 20d. Further, when the tape 20 ′ is stuck on the cardboard D, the closing line C (see FIG. 4) of the cardboard D comes near the center of the tape base material K in the width direction. For this reason, the barcode 20c can be read from the upper surface and both side surfaces of the cardboard D.

  In such a tape 20 ′, a receipt mark indicating that the consignee has received the package is stamped on the marking portion 20a in the release coating blank portion 26, and the tape 20 ′ is cut by the perforation 20b. Can be proof of receipt. Moreover, you may form the knob | pick part 20f so that it may be cut off easily. If the silicon coating 21 is formed on the stamping portion 20a, ink or the like is repelled by the silicon coating 21 and cannot be stamped. However, a release coating blank portion 26 is formed on the stamping portion 20a. Therefore, it can be stamped without problems. Furthermore, it is also possible to form a receipt signature part instead of the stamping part 20a.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, an intermediate glue layer 24 is formed on the entire surface of the reinforcing tape member 25 on the entire outer side of the separable portion 20e. The intermediate glue layer 24 is not formed around the perforation 20b. Therefore, the stamped portion becomes a separable portion 20e that can be separated along the perforation 20b, and the separated piece can be used as proof of receipt. Further, since the separable portion 20e is formed in one place within the range of one sealing unit length L and located in the intermediate glue layer blank portion 28, the back surface is not adhered to the reinforcing tape material 25. Can be easily cut out.

  In addition, since the sealing glue layer blank portion 27 is formed with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26, the release coating blank portion 26 on the front surface and the sealing paste layer 23 on the back surface are bonded even if the tape 20 'is rolled. It doesn't happen. Further, since the reinforcing tape material 25 is lined on the tape base material K of the tape 20 ′, the strength of the tape 20 ′ can be improved, and the cardboard D can be sealed even if a part of the tape 20 ′ is cut off. It is possible to prevent dust and dirt from entering through the cut gap. By using such a tape 20 ', it is possible to use a tape having a function as a invoice in the printing sealing apparatus 1 as a sealing tape.

  In addition, the release coating blank portion 26 is configured such that the silicon coating 21 does not exist, but a coating that can be used for stamping or signing is applied to the portion on the silicon coating 21 where the stamping or signature is to be applied, and this portion is peeled off. The coating blank portion 26 may be used. With this configuration, the back surface of the thermal paper 22 is similarly long in the longitudinal direction of the tape base K with a width equal to or larger than the release coating blank portion 26 at the intermediate position in the width direction of the tape base K with respect to the sealing paste layer 23. By continuously forming the sealing glue layer blank 27 in the form of a band, the tape 20 ′ can be used without any problem even if it is rolled, so that it can be used in the printing sealing device 1 as well. Further, in order to prevent adhesion between the back surface of the tape base material K and the reinforcing tape material 25, a layer that does not adhere to the tape base material K may be provided on the surface of the intermediate glue layer 24, and this portion may be used as the intermediate glue layer blank portion 28. . In this case as well, the separable portion 20e can be cut out.

  Here, the reinforcing tape material 25 can be a single layer of a film formed of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, or a multi-layer with other layers including a reinforcing film, and the reinforcing tape material can be paper. It is. In this way, the combination of film and paper can be variously changed, and the presence of the film layer makes it strong against water droplets and the like. Further, the printing unit 20a, the barcode 20c, and the like may be printed by the printing device 4, and other information such as a destination and a delivery date can also be printed.

  Further, the peeling coating blank portion 26 is formed with a stamping portion 20a in place of a continuous and strip-like configuration at a position facing the adhesive layer 23 in the longitudinal direction of the tape 20 on one sealing unit length L. It is good also as a structure which makes only the part the peeling film blank part 26, and provides one place on 1 sealing unit length L. FIG.

  FIG. 10 illustrates the tape 200 when various types of printing are performed on the surface of the thermal paper 22. On the surface of the tape 200, a stamp part 200a and a signature part (signature part) 200b are printed, which is a separable part 200e. A barcode 200c and a caution note 200f to be read as data are printed at the same time. In addition, information about products 200g, destination 200h, shipping destination 200i, and various delivery store information 200j are printed at the same time. The tape 200 is affixed to the cardboard D with the corners 200d and 200d extending from the side to the side and the center as the top. Here, only the separable portion 200e can be cut off. For example, the destination 200h, the shipping destination 200i, and the like form a separable portion 200e by forming a non-glue layer on the back surface thereof. You may make it possible to cut off. By doing so, only that part can be disposed of separately, which leads to the protection of personal information. In addition, it is possible to cut out a portion where product information is written for product lot management at a store, and it is possible to change the cut-out portion according to the usage pattern. In addition, the case where the stamping portion 200a is in the center of the tape 200 is shown, but it may be formed before the corner portion 200d (can be formed at a plurality of locations), and the arrangement of the printing is appropriately set according to the use situation. It can be changed. Thus, the sealing tape containing abundant information can be used for the printing sealing apparatus 1.

  Further, the print information is not limited to the information shown here, but a product or a store mark may be printed, or coupons or discount information may be printed on a portion where the cut portion is removed. Further, a QR code that can be read by a portable camera may be printed on the portion so that the site can be accessed. As described above, since the printing content (information content) can be changed depending on the usage state of the tape, it is possible to form a sealing tape that can cope with any situation.

Example 4
In the above embodiment, the device having the sealing device 6 is described. However, the sealing device 6 is not provided, and the tape 2 printed by the printing device 4 can be directly applied by a human hand. is there. When used in this way, perforation is made in advance at a fixed length with respect to the tape 2 in advance, and if the tape 2 is cut along the perforation, the cardboard D can be easily sealed. Alternatively, a cutter may be attached to the printing device 4 so that cutting (or perforation) is performed for each sealing unit length L after printing.

  In the above description, the printing apparatus 4 has been described for the direct thermal printing method in which the thermal paper 22 is heated by the thermal head of the printer and discolored, but the tape is thermally transferred so that the ink of the thermal transfer ribbon is punched out by heat. It is also possible to use an ink ribbon thermal dissolution transfer type. In addition, there are inkjet printers that use ink that can be fixed on the silicon coating to eject the ink from the nozzles and fix it on the tape, and dot impact printers that hit the ink ribbon impregnated with ink with a dot head and fix it onto the tape. It is also possible to use it. For example, an ink jet printer 400 as shown in FIG. 11 includes a print head 410, a plurality of types of color ink cartridge mounting portions 420, and a tape feed roller 430, and ink is ejected from the print head 410 onto the surface of the tape 2. Is fixed on the surface, and printing is performed. In this case, since the release film such as the above-described silicon film 21 is formed on the surface of the tape 2, it is assumed that the ink of the ink jet printer 400 is an ink having a composition and properties that are fixed to the release film. . Further, if necessary, a heating device that heats after the ink jetted on the tape surface is printed by the print head 410 of the ink jet printer 400 (for example, in the immediately following process) is provided to promote fixing of the ink on the tape surface. Is also possible. In the case of color printing, only that portion may be printed in advance before the silicon coating step, and the coating treatment may be performed from there.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 12, the sealing tape 2 can be used for various articles. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the case where the tape 2 is used for the expanded polystyrene box 600 is shown. Thus, since the opening of the upper surface of the expanded polystyrene box 600 is closed with the lid, the closing line C is formed in the circumferential direction so as to surround the side. Therefore, in order to seal the closing line C with the tape 2, when the tape 2 is applied in the printing sealing device 1, the tape 2 is pressed while being aligned with the circumferential closing line C so that the side can be attached. What is necessary is just to seal the foamed polystyrene box 600 by sticking with the glue layer 23. FIG. 12B shows a case where the tape 2 is used for the plastic container 610. When the tape 2 is used in this way, the upper closing line C is sealed after the plastic container 610 is assembled. 12C shows a case where the tape 2 is used for the sealed letter 620. The sealed letter 620 can be sealed along the closing line C with the tape 2 on which the address is printed. FIG. 12D shows a case where the tape 2 is wound along the closing line C of the cylindrical container 630. When the tape 2 is used in this way, the cylindrical container 630 is rotated in the printing sealing device 1. The structure can be used. As described above, the sealing device 1 can use the sealing tape 2 for various articles.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, a sealing device for attaching the tape 2 to the side surface in the circumferential direction of the foamed polystyrene box 600 will be described. Stop at once. Then, the tip of the tape 2 is attached to the expanded polystyrene box 600 by the pressing roller 602. The pressing roller 602 presses the tape 2 with a constant pressure, and the rotating table 600 rotates while the pressure is applied, and the tape 2 is attached in the circumferential direction of the foamed polystyrene box 600. When pasting is completed, the cutter 604 moves and the tape 2 is cut. Further, the pressure roller 602 is separated from the foamed polystyrene box 600 and the tape 2 is adsorbed to the adsorption roller 603. Then, the expanded polystyrene box 600 is conveyed again in a sealed state by the conveying device 605.

  Further, how the sealed letter 620 is sealed will be described with reference to FIG. The sealed letter 620 is conveyed by a roller 624 having an endless belt, and the tape 2 is pressed against the sealed part of the sealed letter by the pressing roller 621. The pressing roller rotates while applying a certain force, and the sealed letter 620 is further moved by the roller 624. When sealing of the sealed letter 620 is completed, the tape 2 is cut by the cutter 623. Then, the pressing roller 621 is separated from the sealed letter 620 and the tape is attracted to the suction roller 622, and the sealed letter 620 is further conveyed by the roller 624.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14A, the tape 700 with a release sheet is provided with a release sheet (release paper) 29 that is detachably stacked below the sealing adhesive layer 23. Thus, it is also possible to set it as a tape with a peeling sheet. In such a case, since the surface does not adhere to the glue layer 23, the tape substrate K becomes the thermal paper 22 on the surface, and the silicon coating is not necessarily required. Further, a sealing glue layer blank portion 27 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the tape base material K so as to occupy an intermediate position in the width direction, and a separable portion 20e is formed so as to correspond to the sealing glue layer blank portion 27. It is formed and can be easily cut off by the perforation 20b. Here, the sealing adhesive layer blank portion 27 may be formed at a predetermined interval in accordance with the longitudinal direction of the tape substrate K in accordance with the separable portion 20e, or may be formed in a continuous band shape.

  14B, the release sheet-attached tape 700 ′ includes a release sheet 29 that is detachably laminated below the sealing adhesive layer 23. In this case, the intermediate adhesive layer is blank. A separable portion 20e is formed so as to correspond to the portion 28, and can be easily cut out by the perforation 20b. Here, the intermediate glue layer blank portion 28 may be formed at a predetermined interval in accordance with the longitudinal direction of the tape substrate K in accordance with the separable portion 20e, or may be formed in a continuous band shape. Further, since the sealing glue layer 23 is provided with the release sheet 29, it can be applied over the entire surface of the reinforcing tape material 25 on the release sheet 29 side.

  FIG. 14C is a diagram for explaining the case where the release sheet 29 is used in a printing sealing device. The tape 700 (700 ′) with a release sheet adsorbs the release paper after printing by the printing device 4. The sheet is conveyed to the next step in a state where only the release sheet 29 is peeled off by the roller 900.

  In this way, the presence of the release paper makes it possible to store well, and the tape can be attached to a box or the like (sealing object) by hand for a small lot. Further, if a perforation or a cut line is formed for each sealing unit length L of the tape, sealing becomes easy.

  In the above description, the corrugated cardboard D sent to the sealing device 6 had to be folded and transported in advance with the inner flap FI and the outer flap FO. However, a sealing device that automatically folds both the flaps FI and FO is used. It is also possible. Furthermore, in order to prevent the flaps FI and FO of the cardboard D from being lifted, the upper surface of the cardboard D may be pressed by the pressing portion before the tape 2 is attached. Thus, the sealing device can be changed as appropriate according to the embodiment.

  In addition, the above-mentioned sealing tape can be changed in the length direction according to the size of the box such as the cardboard D, and when increasing the amount of printing in the width direction, use a tape having a wide width. It can be changed as appropriate according to the box.

  Moreover, although the sealing tape shown above uses what uses thermal paper, the material used for the base material of a sealing tape is not restricted to this, It is also possible to use it for a gum tape or PP tape.
