JP 2003-171059 A

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are explanatory diagrams for manufacturing a continuous label from a conventional label continuum. 4 (A) and 4 (B) show the basic part of FIG. 1 of the above-mentioned patent document. The label continuum 101 has a label base 102 provided with a release paper 104 via an adhesive 103, and FIG. On the label base 102, cutting lines 105 that become the label portions 106 are formed at predetermined intervals. The cutting line 105 is ideally formed by cutting only the label base 102 and the adhesive 103.

  Then, the label continuous body 101 is conveyed, and as shown in FIG. 4B, only the label base 102 is separated at the portion of the residue raising roller 111 with the adhesive 103 attached thereto, thereby the label portion 106. Is the continuous label 107 left on the release paper 104 as the label 106A. The separated label substrate 102 is wound as a label residue by a winding unit (not shown).

  However, when forming the cut line 105 on the label substrate 102 (adhesive 103), as shown in FIG. 5A, the cut line is not formed on the entire layer of the adhesive 103, but only the middle of the layer is formed. If not, or as shown in FIG. 5 (B), even if a cut is formed in the entire layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 103, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 103 protrudes toward the cutting line 105 (cut) and the pressure-sensitive adhesives are separated from each other. It causes a situation of bonding. When the residue is raised in such a state, as shown in FIG. 4B, the label portion 106 that becomes the label 106A is peeled off from the release paper 104 and remains on the label residue, thereby reducing the yield. There is a problem that the manufacturing efficiency is lowered. Even if the scrap raising roller 111 is disposed obliquely with respect to the conveyance direction of the label continuous body 101, there remains a problem that the label portion 106 cannot be reliably left on the release paper 104 from the label scrap side.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a continuous label manufacturing apparatus in which a label is reliably left on a release paper to avoid a decrease in yield and a decrease in manufacturing efficiency.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the invention of claim 1, for a label continuous body in which a release paper is provided on a label base via an adhesive, a region of a label portion that becomes a label at a predetermined interval on the label base Is formed by a label cutting line, the label area is left on the release paper during conveyance, and the label waste other than the label area is separated from the release paper, thereby forming a predetermined number of labels on the release paper. A continuous label manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a continuous label, wherein a roller for separating a label substrate of the label continuous body from the release paper by leaving a region of the label portion on the release paper, and the roller press tHAT comprising a separate predetermined number of pressing blades that rotates by contact with the Raberukasu intermediate portion between the label area that remains Raberukasu label substrate is conveyed to the rotary A rotary pressing portion to leave pressing the label portion comprising a label of the label substrate with the blade on the release paper side, a structure having a winding section for winding the Raberukasu respectively.

According to the present invention, the label base of the label continuum is separated from the release paper by leaving the formed label area on the release paper with a roller, and the label waste intermediate part between the label areas remaining on the label waste at that time With the structure in which the label part that becomes the label of the label base is pressed and left on the release paper side with the predetermined number of presser blades provided in the rotary presser part that rotates by contacting with the rotary presser part, the rotary presser part puts the label on the release paper. The label residue can be separated from the release paper by reliably remaining, and a decrease in yield and a decrease in manufacturing efficiency can be avoided.

  Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The labels manufactured by the continuous label manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to, for example, RFID labels in which an IC chip is mounted and an antenna is formed in addition to those for address book and information concealment. It is.

  In FIG. 1, the block diagram of the continuous label manufacturing apparatus which concerns on this invention is shown. FIG. 1A is an overall schematic diagram of a continuous label manufacturing apparatus, and FIG. 1B is a configuration explanatory view of a separation portion of a label substrate. 1A and 1B, the continuous label manufacturing apparatus 11 is supplied with a roll-shaped label continuous body 12 from a label continuous body supply unit 13. As shown in FIG. 1B, the label continuum 12 is a label base 21 provided with a release paper 23 via an adhesive 22. The label base 21 is made of, for example, paper or resin, and the adhesive 22 used for the label is applied to the adhesive 22 as before. Further, the release paper 23 is made of paper, for example, and has a release agent such as silicone coated on the adhesive 22 side.

  A cutting line forming unit 14 is disposed on the transport of the label continuum 12. As shown in FIG. 1 (B), the cutting line forming part 14 forms a label cutting line 24 for forming regions of the label part 25 at a predetermined interval on the label base 21 of the label continuous body 12. A cutting blade 15 for forming a label cutting line 24 is provided.

  A scrap raising roller 16 is arranged on the cutting line forming unit 14 in the conveying direction. The scrap raising roller 16 is for separating the label base 21 from the release paper 23 by leaving the region of the label portion 25 on the release paper 23. A rotary presser 17 is disposed at a position branched from the waste raising roller 16, and a waste take-up roller 18 as a take-up portion is disposed in the conveying direction to take up the label waste 21A.

  The rotary presser 17 has a predetermined number of pressers (in this case, eight) that are rotated at the label waste intermediate part 26 between the label part regions remaining on the label waste 21A of the label base 21 separated and conveyed by the residue raising roller 16. A blade 17A is provided, and the rotating presser blade 17A presses the label portion 25 to be the label 25A of the label base 21 toward the release paper 23 to remain. The holding blade 17A is formed of, for example, a resin plate having a thickness that is flexible.

  On the other hand, on the release paper 23 from which the label base 21 of the label residue 21A has been separated, the continuous label 19 with the label 25A remaining in the label portion area is wound around the continuous label winding portion 20. In addition, when performing predetermined printing on the label part 25 of the label base | substrate 21, you may arrange | position a printing part in the front | former stage or the back | latter stage of the cutting line formation part 14. FIG.

  Here, FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the rotary presser shown in FIG. First, the length of the holding blades 17A for pressing and pressing the holding blades 17A of the rotary presser portion 17 shown in FIG. The arrangement position of the rotary presser 17 with respect to the label continuum 12 will be described.

That is, in FIG. 2A, the length in the transport direction of the label portion 25 formed by the label cutting line 24 on the label substrate 21 of the label continuum 12 is X, and the label residue between each region of the label portion 25 When the length in the transport direction of the portion 26 is Y, as shown in FIG. 2B, the length L of the holding blade 17A of the rotary presser portion 17 is
cos α = L / (Y + X / 2)
From
L = (2X + Y) / 2 cos α
Indicated by Note that X / 2 means that the tip portion of the holding blade 17A is brought into contact with the substantially central position of the label portion 25. The length of the pressing blade 17A is the position where the rotary pressing portion 17 is arranged with respect to the label continuum 12, and the above formula can be applied when the number of the pressing blade 17A is two or more at the same angle. .

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2B, after one pressing blade 17A of the rotary pressing portion 17 presses the label portion C as the label 25A on the release paper 23 side, the pressing blade 17A is transported to the label portion. It abuts against the label waste intermediate portion 26 between B and the label portion C and rotates counterclockwise (FIG. 2C). At this time, the label portion B is pressed against the release paper 23 by the rotational force of the restraining blade 17A adjacent to the left side of the restraining blade 17A that is in contact with the label waste intermediate portion 26 (FIG. 2D). .

  Then, the label waste 21A is conveyed, and the holding blade 17A holding the label portion B is brought into contact with the label waste intermediate portion 26 between the conveyed label portion A and label portion B (FIG. 2E )), Which is similar to the state of FIG. 2B, and these are repeated. That is, the rotary pressing portion 17A is rotated by winding and transporting the label residue 21A without requiring any power for rotation, and the label portions 25 are successively pressed to the release paper 23 side as the label 25A by the rotation. Is.

  Next, FIG. 3 shows an explanatory diagram for producing a continuous label from the label continuous body of FIG. First, in the continuous label manufacturing apparatus 11 shown in FIG. 1, the label continuous body 12 in which the release paper 23 is provided on the label base 21 via the adhesive 22 is supplied from the label continuous body supply section 13 to the cutting line forming section 14. The In the cutting line forming part 14, the label cutting line 24 is formed in the region of the label part 25 that will later become the label 25 </ b> A at predetermined intervals with respect to the label base 21. Then, the label continuous body 12 in which the label cutting line 24 is formed on the label base 21 is configured to take up the remaining label residue 21A remaining on the release paper 23 with the label portion 25 as the label 25A via the residue raising roller 16. Set in section 18.

  Therefore, the continuous label manufacturing apparatus 11 continuously drives the label continuous body 12 formed by the label cutting line 24 to transfer the label substrate 21 (label residue) conveyed at the position of the residue raising roller 21 to the label portion 25. The label 25A in the area is separated so as to remain on the release paper 23, and at that time, the rotary pressing portion 17 is rotated by the label waste intermediate portion 26 by the conveyance of the label waste 21A.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, one holding blade 17 </ b> A of the rotating presser 17 that is rotated presses the corresponding label portion 25 of the label base 21 onto the release paper 23 as a label 25 </ b> A and remains. While the label residue 21A is being wound and conveyed, the rotary presser 17 is rotated by contact with the label residue intermediate portion 26, and the corresponding holding blades 17A sequentially use the label portion 25 as the label 25A and the release paper 23. It will be pressed down.

  Then, the release paper 23 with the label 25 </ b> A remaining is taken up as a continuous label 19 by the continuous label take-up unit 20.

  Thus, even if the adhesive 13 by the label cutting line 15 formed in the label continuous body 12 is in the state as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the rotary presser 17 peels off the label 25A. The label residue 21A can be reliably left on the paper 23 to be separated from the release paper 23, and a decrease in yield and a decrease in manufacturing efficiency can be avoided. Note that the rotary presser 17 can be simplified because the rotary presser 17 does not require special power by being rotated by winding and transporting the label waste intermediate portion 26 of the label waste 21A. The label 25A can be reliably left on the release paper 23 even if the presser portion 17 is rotated by the power of a motor or the like.

  The continuous label manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is suitable for a continuous label body in which release paper is provided via an adhesive and only the label remains on the release paper to form a continuous label.
