Description

本発明は、熱収縮させて容器の胴部に密着させる筒状ラベルを接続する装置に係り、特に、長尺の筒状ラベルを先端側から順次消費し、末端部に至った時に、次の筒状ラベルの先端部を、前記末端部に接続する筒状ラベルの接続装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an apparatus for connecting a cylindrical label that is heat-shrinked and closely adheres to the body of the container, and in particular, when a long cylindrical label is sequentially consumed from the tip side and reaches the end, The present invention relates to a connecting device for a cylindrical label that connects a tip end portion of a cylindrical label to the end portion.

筒状のフィルムラベルを扁平にして帯状にしたものをロール状に巻き、先端側から引き出して順次切断し、容器に被せた後、熱収縮させることにより容器に装着するシュリンクラベルの装着装置が広く用いられている。このようにロール状に巻いた筒状ラベルは、先端側から引き出して順次切断して消費していき、その末端部に至って１本のロールが終了すると、次のロールの先端を引き出して、前記先行するロールの末端部とこの次のロールの先端部とを突き合わせ、その両側から粘着テープ（アルミテープ）を貼り付けて接続するようにしている。   A wide range of shrink label attachment devices that can be attached to containers by flattening a strip of a cylindrical film label, rolling it into a roll, drawing it from the tip side, cutting it in sequence, covering the container, and then thermally shrinking it It is used. In this way, the cylindrical label wound in a roll shape is drawn from the tip side and cut and consumed in sequence, and when one roll is finished after reaching the end portion, the tip of the next roll is drawn out, The end portion of the preceding roll and the leading end portion of the next roll are abutted, and an adhesive tape (aluminum tape) is pasted and connected from both sides.

ところが、扁平にした筒状ラベルの端部同士を接続した場合には、端部が塞がれることで僅かな空気が筒状部内に入り込み、その後、筒状ラベルが送りローラー等に押し付けられた際に圧迫されて接続部分が破裂してしまう場合があった。そこで、このようなおそれを除くことができる接続装置が提案された（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   However, when the ends of the flat cylindrical label are connected to each other, a slight amount of air enters the cylindrical portion by closing the ends, and then the cylindrical label is pressed against the feed roller or the like. In some cases, the connection portion may be ruptured due to pressure. Then, the connection apparatus which can remove such a fear was proposed (for example, refer patent document 1).

前記特許文献１には、平型チューブの端部を、後続のチューブの始端に接続するための方法および装置が記載されている。この特許文献１に記載された発明は、平型チューブの始端の前縁に、長手方向の両端部に斜めに切り取られた角が設けられ、２つの遊離したリップとして互いに切り離されており、使用済みのチューブの端部が２つの遊離したチューブ間に滑り込んで前記リップに対して固定されるようになっている。
特開２００２−２１１８０６号公報（第４−５頁、図１） Patent Document 1 describes a method and apparatus for connecting the end of a flat tube to the beginning of a subsequent tube. In the invention described in this Patent Document 1, the front end of the flat tube is provided with corners that are obliquely cut off at both ends in the longitudinal direction and separated from each other as two free lips. The end of the finished tube is slid between two free tubes so that it is fixed against the lip.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-21806 (page 4-5, FIG. 1)

前記従来の構成では、筒状ラベル内に入り込んだ空気を逃がすことはできるが、ラベルの角を切断するための手段が必要であり、また、接続される部分の両端部を切断するためラベルの幅方向のサイズが小さくなるので、横方向への強度が不足して接続部で切れてしまうおそれがあった。   In the conventional configuration, air that has entered the cylindrical label can be released, but means for cutting the corners of the label is necessary, and the label of the label is cut in order to cut both ends of the connected portion. Since the size in the width direction is small, there is a risk that the strength in the lateral direction is insufficient and the connection portion is cut off.

本発明は、扁平にされた帯状の筒状ラベルの末端と、他の帯状の筒状ラベルの先端とを接続する筒状ラベルの接続装置において、前記一方の筒状ラベルの末端と、他の筒状ラベルの先端とを突き合わせた状態で保持する保持手段と、突き合わせた前記筒状ラベルの末端と先端に、両面から接続テープを貼り付けて両筒状ラベルを接続する接続手段と、両筒状ラベルの接続部分の両面に貼られた接続テープを貫通して、筒状ラベル内部からの排気が可能な開口を形成する開口形成手段とを備え、前記接続手段は、互いに向かい合い各々に前記接続テープを吸着保持する第１接続テープ保持部および第２接続テープ保持部と、これら接続テープ保持部を進退動させるエアシリンダを備え、かつ、前記第２テープ保持部は、前記エアシリンダにより進退動されるベースに対して相対移動可能に第１接続テープ保持部に向けて付勢されて支持されており、さらに、前記開口形成手段は前記ベースに取り付けられたカッターからなり、前記第２接続テープ保持部には前記カッターが挿入される貫通孔が形成され、また、第１接続テープ保持部には前記カッターの先端部を受け入れる凹部が形成されており、前記エアシリンダを作動させて第１接続テープ保持部と第２テープ保持部を互いに押し付けて、前記筒状ラベルの両面に接続テープを貼り付けるとともに、前記カッターを前記第２接続テープ保持部の貫通孔から前記第１接続テープ保持部の凹部に突出させて、突き合わせた前記筒状ラベルとこれらの両面に貼り付けた接続テープとに切り口を形成することを特徴とするものである。 The present invention relates to a connecting device for a cylindrical label that connects the end of a flattened strip-shaped cylindrical label and the tip of another strip-shaped cylindrical label, and the other end of the one cylindrical label, A holding means for holding the cylindrical label in a state of being abutted against each other; a connecting means for attaching a connecting tape from both sides to the end and the tip of the abutted cylindrical label; An opening forming means for forming an opening capable of exhausting from the inside of the cylindrical label through the connecting tape affixed to both surfaces of the connecting portion of the cylindrical label , wherein the connecting means face each other and each of the connections A first connecting tape holding portion and a second connecting tape holding portion for sucking and holding the tape; and an air cylinder for moving the connecting tape holding portion forward and backward, and the second tape holding portion is formed by the air cylinder. The opening connecting means comprises a cutter attached to the base, and is supported by being biased toward the first connecting tape holding portion so as to be relatively movable with respect to the retracted base. A through-hole into which the cutter is inserted is formed in the connection tape holding portion, and a recess for receiving the tip of the cutter is formed in the first connection tape holding portion. A connecting tape holding portion and a second tape holding portion are pressed against each other to attach the connecting tape to both surfaces of the cylindrical label, and the cutter is held from the through hole of the second connecting tape holding portion. A cut is formed in the cylindrical label and the connecting tape affixed to both sides of the cylindrical label that protrudes into the concave portion of the portion .

また、請求項２に記載の発明は、前記接続手段によって、接続テープを扁平にされた帯状の筒状ラベルの幅方向両端部にかからないように貼り付け、この両端部から排気可能としたことを特徴とするものである。   Further, the invention according to claim 2 is that the connecting means attaches the connecting tape so as not to cover both ends in the width direction of the flat strip-shaped cylindrical label, and enables exhaust from both ends. It is a feature.

先行する筒状ラベルの末端部と、新規の筒状ラベルの先端部とを突き合わせて接続テープを貼り付けて接続するとともに、前記接続テープを貫通する開口部を形成するようにしたので、接続部分の幅を小さくすることがなく、接続部の充分な強度を保持することができ、しかも、筒状部内に入り込んだ空気を逃がすことが可能になる。   Since the end of the preceding cylindrical label and the tip of the new cylindrical label are abutted and connected by connecting a connection tape, and an opening that penetrates the connection tape is formed, the connection part Therefore, it is possible to maintain a sufficient strength of the connection portion, and to release the air that has entered the cylindrical portion.

筒状ラベルを扁平にして帯状にしたものを、先端側から順次消費してその末端部に至った時に、この末端部と、次の筒状ラベルの先端部とを突き合わせた状態で保持手段によって保持し、これら突き合わせた両端部に、接続手段によって接続テープを貼り付けて接続するとともに、両端部の両側から貼り付けた接続テープに、開口形成手段によって開口を形成することにより、この開口から筒状ラベル内に入り込んだ空気の排出を可能にし、かつ、接続部の強度を確保するという目的を達成する。   When the cylindrical label is flattened and formed into a strip shape, when it is sequentially consumed from the tip side and reaches its end portion, the end portion and the tip end portion of the next cylindrical label are in contact with each other by the holding means. The connecting tape is attached to both ends held by the connecting means by the connecting means and connected to the connecting tape, and openings are formed on the connecting tape attached from both sides of the both ends by the opening forming means. The purpose of enabling the discharge of air that has entered into the label and ensuring the strength of the connecting portion is achieved.

The connecting means 28 is integrally provided with an opening forming means (cutter) 38 which is a feature of the present invention.

前記接続手段２８および開口形成手段３８の構成について、図１ないし図３により説明する。接続テープ保持部３０、３２の一方（各図の右側の第１接続テープ保持部３０）は、エアシリンダ３４のピストンロッド３４ａに連結されたベース４０（図３参照）に固定されており、その接続テープ保持面３０ａが、前記固定ラベル保持部材４と一方の移動ラベル保持部材８（または１０）とに保持されたラベルシート２（正確には、固定ラベル保持部材４に保持された先行するラベルシート２の末端部と、移動ラベルシート保持部材８（または１０）に保持された新たなラベルシート２の先端部との突き合わせ部）と平行している。この接続テープ保持部３０の内部には、バキューム通路３０ｂ（図２参照）が形成されており、その接続テープ保持面３０ａに複数の吸引口が開口している。前記バキューム通路３０ｂにバキューム管４４が接続されており、前記各吸引口にバキュームを作用させて接続テープ４６を吸着保持する。   The configuration of the connecting means 28 and the opening forming means 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. One of the connection tape holding portions 30 and 32 (the first connection tape holding portion 30 on the right side of each drawing) is fixed to a base 40 (see FIG. 3) connected to the piston rod 34a of the air cylinder 34, The connecting tape holding surface 30a is a label sheet 2 held on the fixed label holding member 4 and one moving label holding member 8 (or 10) (precisely, the preceding label held on the fixed label holding member 4). The end portion of the sheet 2 is parallel to the abutting portion between the end portion of the new label sheet 2 held by the moving label sheet holding member 8 (or 10). A vacuum passage 30b (see FIG. 2) is formed inside the connection tape holding portion 30, and a plurality of suction ports are opened in the connection tape holding surface 30a. A vacuum pipe 44 is connected to the vacuum passage 30b, and a vacuum is applied to each suction port to hold the connection tape 46 by suction.

第１接続テープ保持部３０と向かい合わせに配置されている第２接続テープ保持部３２は、エアシリンダ３６のピストンロッド３６ａに連結されたベース４８に対し、相対移動可能に支持されている。通常はスプリング５０によってベース４８から遠ざかる方向、つまり前記第１接続テープ保持部３０の方向に向けて付勢されており、両接続テープ保持部３０、３２が前進して互いに押し合った時に、第２接続テープ保持部３２が後退できるようになっている。この第２接続テープ保持部３２も、内部にバキューム通路３２ｂが形成され、接続テープ保持面３２ａに多数の吸引口が開口しており、バキューム管５２を介して各吸引口にバキュームを作用させて接続テープ５４を吸着保持するようになっている。   The second connection tape holding part 32 arranged facing the first connection tape holding part 30 is supported so as to be relatively movable with respect to the base 48 connected to the piston rod 36a of the air cylinder 36. Usually, the spring 50 is biased toward the direction away from the base 48, that is, toward the first connecting tape holding portion 30, and when both the connecting tape holding portions 30, 32 are advanced and pressed against each other, The two-connection tape holding part 32 can be retracted. The second connection tape holding portion 32 also has a vacuum passage 32b formed therein, and a large number of suction ports are opened in the connection tape holding surface 32a. A vacuum is applied to each suction port via the vacuum tube 52. The connection tape 54 is sucked and held.

第２接続テープ保持部３２が支持されているベース４８に、２箇所の開口形成手段としてのカッター３８が取り付けられている。これらのカッター３８は、ベース４８を長手方向（図３の上下方向）にほぼ１／３ずつに分割した位置に、そして、幅方向の中央部の位置に配置されている。また、第２接続テープ保持部３２には、前記カッター３８が設けられている位置に貫通孔３２ｃが形成されており、各カッター３８が、各貫通孔３２ｃ内に挿入されている。スプリング５０によって第２接続テープ保持部３２が前方へ押し出されている時には、カッター３８の先端が貫通孔３２ｃの内部に位置しており、第２接続テープ保持部３２が前進して第１接続テープ保持部３０と互いに押し合った状態になると、第２接続テープ保持部３２が僅かに後退して、カッター３８の先端が貫通孔３２ｃの前面に突出する。   Cutters 38 as two opening forming means are attached to the base 48 on which the second connection tape holding portion 32 is supported. These cutters 38 are arranged at a position where the base 48 is divided by about 1/3 in the longitudinal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3), and at the center position in the width direction. Further, the second connection tape holding part 32 is formed with a through hole 32c at a position where the cutter 38 is provided, and each cutter 38 is inserted into each through hole 32c. When the second connection tape holding part 32 is pushed forward by the spring 50, the tip of the cutter 38 is positioned inside the through hole 32c, and the second connection tape holding part 32 moves forward to advance the first connection tape. When the holding portion 30 is pressed against each other, the second connecting tape holding portion 32 is slightly retracted, and the tip of the cutter 38 protrudes to the front surface of the through hole 32c.

一方、第１接続テープ保持部３０には、第２接続テープ保持部３２側に設けられている２箇所のカッター３８が貫通孔３２ｃから突出した際に、これらカッター３２の先端部を受け入れる２箇所の凹部３０ｃが形成されている。   On the other hand, in the first connection tape holding part 30, when two cutters 38 provided on the second connection tape holding part 32 side protrude from the through holes 32c, two places for receiving the tip parts of these cutters 32 are provided. The recess 30c is formed.

前記構成の筒状ラベルの接続装置の作動について、図１に示す状態で説明する。扁平な帯状の筒状ラベル２（図１に符号２Ａで示すラベルシート参照）が、図示しないロールから引き出され、複数の送りローラー等を介してこの筒状ラベルの接続装置１に導かれている。このラベルシート２Ａは、扇形回動部材６上に設けられたローラー５６を介して方向が変えられ、第１の移動ラベル保持部材８と固定ラベル保持部材４のラベル保持面８ｄ、４ｄに案内されている。   The operation of the cylindrical label connecting device having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG. A flat belt-like cylindrical label 2 (see a label sheet indicated by reference numeral 2A in FIG. 1) is pulled out from a roll (not shown) and guided to the connecting apparatus 1 for the cylindrical label through a plurality of feed rollers and the like. . The direction of the label sheet 2A is changed via a roller 56 provided on the fan-shaped rotating member 6, and is guided to the label holding surfaces 8d and 4d of the first moving label holding member 8 and the fixed label holding member 4. ing.

通常の運転時には、エアシリンダ８ｃ、４ｃによって第１の移動ラベル保持部材８と固定ラベル保持部材４の押さえ板８ｂ、４ｂが後退して、前記ラベルシート２Ａが通過できる状態になっている。このラベルシート２Ａは、下流側のラベル装着部（図示せず）に送られて所定の長さ、つまり、容器にラベルとして装着されるために必要な長さに切断され、筒状に拡開された後、容器に嵌装され、加熱されて熱収縮することにより容器に装着される。   During normal operation, the first moving label holding member 8 and the pressing plates 8b, 4b of the fixed label holding member 4 are retracted by the air cylinders 8c, 4c so that the label sheet 2A can pass therethrough. This label sheet 2A is sent to a downstream label mounting portion (not shown) and cut to a predetermined length, that is, a length necessary for mounting as a label on a container, and expanded into a cylindrical shape. After that, it is fitted into the container and is attached to the container by being heated and thermally contracted.

前記のように使用中のラベルシート２Ａと別のロールから引き出されたラベルシート（図１中に符号２Ｂで示すラベルシート参照）が、図示しない送りローラー等を介してこの円筒状ラベルの接続装置１に案内されており、扇形回動部材状６のローラー５８によって方向を変えられ、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０側に導かれている。このラベルシート２Ｂは、その先端面が突き当て部材２４に当たって位置決めされた状態で、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０の受け板１０ａと押さえ板１０ｂによって保持されて待機している。   As described above, the label sheet 2A being used and the label sheet drawn from another roll (see the label sheet indicated by reference numeral 2B in FIG. 1) are connected to this cylindrical label via a feed roller (not shown). 1, the direction is changed by the roller 58 of the fan-shaped rotating member 6, and is guided to the second moving label holding member 10 side. The label sheet 2 </ b> B is held by the receiving plate 10 a and the holding plate 10 b of the second moving label holding member 10 and is in a standby state in a state where the leading end surface of the label sheet 2 </ b> B abuts against the abutting member 24.

使用中の第１ラベルシート２Ａは、この筒状ラベルの接続装置１を通過して、下流側の容器装着部で所定の長さに切断されて次第に消費されていく。この第１ラベルシート２Ａが全て引き出されて末端部が筒状ラベルの接続装置１に到達すると、第１の移動ラベル保持部材８と固定ラベル保持部材４の保持用エアシリンダ８ｃ、４ｃを作動させて、それぞれの押さえ板８ｂ、４ｂを前進させ、押さえ板８ｂ、４ｂと受け板８ａ、４ａとによりラベルシート２Ａを保持する。続いて、切断用エアシリンダ２２を作動させてラベル用カッター２０を移動させ、第１の移動ラベル保持部材８と固定ラベル保持部材４が保持している位置の中間で、ラベルシート２Ａを切断する。   The first label sheet 2A in use passes through this cylindrical label connecting device 1, is cut into a predetermined length at the downstream container mounting portion, and is gradually consumed. When all of the first label sheet 2A is pulled out and the end portion reaches the connecting device 1 for cylindrical labels, the first moving label holding member 8 and the holding air cylinders 8c, 4c for the fixed label holding member 4 are operated. Then, the respective pressing plates 8b and 4b are advanced, and the label sheet 2A is held by the pressing plates 8b and 4b and the receiving plates 8a and 4a. Subsequently, the cutting air cylinder 22 is operated to move the label cutter 20, and the label sheet 2 </ b> A is cut in the middle of the positions held by the first moving label holding member 8 and the fixed label holding member 4. .

その後、第１の移動ラベル保持手段８と固定ラベル保持手段４がそれぞれ切断されたラベルシート２Ａを保持したまま、回動用エアシリンダ１４を作動させて、扇形回動部材６を回動させる。図１に示す状態から扇形回動部材６を反時計回り方向に回動させて、ストッパ１６によって停止させると、前記消費されていたラベルシート２Ａと別の新規なラベルシート２Ｂを保持していた第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０が、固定ラベル保持部材４側に移動する。このときには、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０のラベル保持面１０ｄと固定ラベル保持部材４のラベル保持面４ｄとが一直線上に並び、また、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０が保持しているラベルシート２Ｂの先端面が突き当て部材２４により位置決めされていたので、固定ラベル保持部材４が保持しているラベルシート２Ａの末端部と、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０が保持しているラベルシート２Ｂの先端部とが互いに対向した状態、つまり、突き合わせた状態になる。   Thereafter, while the first moving label holding means 8 and the fixed label holding means 4 hold the cut label sheet 2A, the rotating air cylinder 14 is operated to rotate the fan-shaped rotating member 6. When the fan-shaped rotating member 6 is rotated counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 1 and stopped by the stopper 16, the consumed label sheet 2A and another new label sheet 2B are held. The second moving label holding member 10 moves to the fixed label holding member 4 side. At this time, the label holding surface 10d of the second moving label holding member 10 and the label holding surface 4d of the fixed label holding member 4 are aligned in a straight line, and the label held by the second moving label holding member 10 Since the front end surface of the sheet 2B is positioned by the abutting member 24, the label sheet 2A held by the fixed label holding member 4 and the label sheet held by the second moving label holding member 10 2B is opposed to each other, that is, in a butted state.

次に、両側の接続用エアシリンダ３４、３６を作動させて接続テープ保持部３０、３２を前進させる。各接続テープ保持部３０、３２は、それぞれ接続テープ４６、５４をバキュームにより吸着して保持しており、第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０と固定ラベル保持部材４から成る保持手段によって保持されている消費済みのラベルシート２Ａの末端部と新規のラベルシート２Ｂの先端部との突き当て部に、両面から接続テープ４６、５４を押し付けて両ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂを接着する。なお、この実施例では、固定ラベル保持部材４に保持されているラベルシート２Ａの末端部と第２の移動ラベル保持部材１０に保持されたラベルシート２Ｂの先端部とを完全に当接した状態にせず、僅かな隙間を設けている。また、接続テープ４６、５４は、図４に示すように、ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂの幅よりも僅かに短くなっており、両ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂの幅方向の両端部を僅かに残して接着する。両ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂの間の間隙で、接続テープ４６、５４が貼られていない部分は、ラベルシート（筒状ラベル）２Ａ、２Ｂの内部に入り込んだ空気を排出する排気開口５６、５６として機能する。   Next, the connection air cylinders 34 and 36 on both sides are operated to advance the connection tape holding portions 30 and 32. Each of the connection tape holding portions 30 and 32 holds the connection tapes 46 and 54 by suction, and is held by a holding means including the second moving label holding member 10 and the fixed label holding member 4. The connecting tapes 46 and 54 are pressed from both sides to the abutting portion between the end portion of the consumed label sheet 2A and the tip portion of the new label sheet 2B to bond the two label sheets 2A and 2B. In this embodiment, the end portion of the label sheet 2A held by the fixed label holding member 4 and the front end portion of the label sheet 2B held by the second moving label holding member 10 are completely in contact with each other. Instead, a slight gap is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting tapes 46 and 54 are slightly shorter than the widths of the label sheets 2A and 2B, and are bonded to the label sheets 2A and 2B, leaving both end portions in the width direction slightly. To do. The portions between the label sheets 2A and 2B where the connecting tapes 46 and 54 are not attached are exhaust openings 56 and 56 for discharging the air that has entered the label sheets (cylindrical labels) 2A and 2B. Function.

さらに、第１および第２の接続テープ保持部３０、３２を互いに押し付けることにより、これら接続テープ保持部３０、３２が保持していた接続テープ４６、５４を、両ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂの両面に貼り付けたが、このように両接続テープ４６、５４を押し付けることにより、第２の接続テープ保持部３２が後退して、その後方のベース４８に取り付けられている開口形成手段（カッター）３８が、第２接続テープ保持手段３２に形成されている貫通孔３２ｃから突出し、向かい側の第１接続テープ保持部３０に形成されている凹部３０ｃ内に入り込む。その結果、両ラベル保持部材４、１０に保持されているラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂと、このラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂの両面に貼り付けられた接続テープ４６、５４に、切り口５８、５８が形成される。この切り口５８、５８が排気開口となり、ラベルシート２Ａ、２Ｂ内に入り込んだ空気の排出が可能となる。そのため、下流側で送りローラー等により圧迫された場合でも、内部に入り込んだ空気が排気開口５６、５６や切り口５８、５８から排気され、接続部分が破裂してしまうおそれがない。しかも、この実施例では、ラベルシート２Ａの末端部と、後続のラベルシート２Ｂの先端部のいずれも、従来のように幅方向を短縮していないので、横方向の強度が不足することもない。   Further, by pressing the first and second connection tape holding portions 30 and 32 together, the connection tapes 46 and 54 held by these connection tape holding portions 30 and 32 are applied to both surfaces of both label sheets 2A and 2B. Although the two connecting tapes 46 and 54 are pressed in this manner, the second connecting tape holding portion 32 moves backward, and the opening forming means (cutter) 38 attached to the base 48 behind the second connecting tape 46 is provided. Then, it protrudes from the through hole 32 c formed in the second connection tape holding means 32 and enters into the recess 30 c formed in the first connection tape holding part 30 on the opposite side. As a result, the cut sheets 58 and 58 are formed in the label sheets 2A and 2B held by the label holding members 4 and 10 and the connection tapes 46 and 54 attached to both surfaces of the label sheets 2A and 2B. . The cut openings 58, 58 serve as exhaust openings, and air that has entered the label sheets 2A, 2B can be discharged. Therefore, even when compressed by a feed roller or the like on the downstream side, the air that has entered the interior is exhausted from the exhaust openings 56 and 56 and the cut openings 58 and 58, and there is no possibility that the connection portion will be ruptured. Moreover, in this embodiment, neither the end portion of the label sheet 2A nor the leading end portion of the succeeding label sheet 2B is shortened in the width direction as in the prior art, so that the lateral strength is not insufficient. .
