Description

  The present invention creates a laminate type printing tape (hereinafter referred to as “laminate tape”), a receptor type printing tape (hereinafter referred to as “non-laminate tape”), and a “laminate tape” or “non-laminate tape”. The present invention relates to a printing cassette for printing.

Conventionally, by using a tape printer equipped with a cassette for printing, it is possible to produce a printing tape on which characters or the like are printed. However, as one type of printing tape that can be produced, a printed film tape can be used. There is a “laminate tape” to which an adhesive tape is attached (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Through the adherend 61.

  Here, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the print medium 33 and the second adhesive layer 51 appear to float depending on the thickness of the ink 41. However, since the thickness of the ink 41 is actually thin, both are directly adhered. ing.

  However, as described above, in order to attach the print medium 33 having the ink 41 thermally transferred onto the print surface 11A to the first base material 31, as the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32, The main component is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any of acrylic, rubber, and silicone monomers, and various additives (for example, cross-linking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, It does not matter whether or not a pigment or the like is blended, but since it is a part that is temporarily affixed and finally peeled off, a material having a weak adhesive strength is used.

  On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 is mainly composed of a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of any monomer such as acrylic, rubber-based, or silicone-based. It does not matter whether or not an agent (for example, a crosslinking agent, a tackifier, a softening agent, a stabilizer, a pigment, etc.) is blended, but one having an adhesive strength according to the adherend 61 is used.

  The printing cassette 1 is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus and the printing tape 5 is manufactured. The cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus is provided with the discharging portion 4 of the printing cassette 1. A cutter device (not shown) for cutting the discharged printing tape 5 is provided. Since the configuration of the printing cassette 1 described with reference to FIG. 2 and the like and the configuration of the tape printing device in which the printing cassette 1 is mounted to produce the printing tape 5 are known, the printing cassette 1 and the tape Detailed description when the printing tape 5 is manufactured by the printing apparatus will be omitted.

Next, handling of the printing tape 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 5 discharged from the discharge portion 4 of the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. ), The first small tape 11 (first base material 31 / first adhesive layer 32 / printed medium 33) and second small tape 13 (second adhesive layer 51 / second base material). 52), the belt-like printing tape 5 is manufactured. And as shown in FIG.6 (b), the 2nd base material 52 of the 2nd small winding tape 13 is peeled, and the 2nd adhesive layer 51 of the 2nd small winding tape 13 is exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13 is adhered to the adherend 61.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the first base material 31 is slowly peeled off from the adherend 61. At this time, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is peeled off together with the first base material 31, so that only the print medium 33 can be left. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The medium 33 is attached to the adherend 61 by the second adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13. The ink 41 was thermally transferred from the ink ribbon 6 (see FIG. 3A, etc.) to the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 2, etc.) of the first small tape 11 (the print medium 33) by the tape printer. Is.

As described above in detail, the printing cassette 1 according to the first embodiment can be discharged from the tape printing apparatus by being mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus.
And about the printing tape 5 discharged | emitted from a tape printing apparatus, after cut | disconnecting with the cutter apparatus of a tape printing apparatus, the 2nd base material 52 is peeled from the 2nd small winding tape 13 affixed on the 1st small winding tape 11. FIG. The first base material is peeled off (see FIG. 6B) and the second adhesive layer 51 of the exposed second small tape 13 is adhered to the adherend 61 (see FIG. 6C). When 31 is peeled off slowly (see FIG. 6D), the first adhesive layer 32 is peeled off together with the first base material 31, while the print medium 33 remains on the adherend 61 together with the ink 41, as shown in FIG. As described above, the print medium 33 having the print surface 11A on which the ink 41 is thermally transferred is attached to the adherend 61 via the second adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13. Affixing “laminate tape” to the adherend 61 Kill (see Fig. 6 (e)).

Further, the print medium 13 has the form of the first small tape 11 formed by being attached to the first base material 31 via the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 (see FIG. 1), and FIG. ), The printing tape attached from the state wound around the film spool 14 in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment via the second small tape 13 and the second adhesive layer 51. Since the tape is discharged from the tape discharge section 4 in the state of 5, the running property in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment can be ensured even if the print medium 33 is thin.
In particular, in the first embodiment, since the first base material 31 is thicker than the printing medium 33, the first small tape 11 in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment even if the printing medium 33 is thin. Can be ensured.

Moreover, when making it adhere | attach to the to-be-adhered body 61, as shown to Fig.6 (a) (b), it exists in the state by which the 1st small winding tape 11 was affixed on the 2nd small winding tape 13, and at least 1st Since a thin state can be secured by the thickness of the small tape 11, no matter how thin the print medium 33 constituting the “laminate tape” is, the “laminate tape” is attached to the adherend 61 as shown in FIG. Easy to paste.
In particular, in the first embodiment, since the first base material 31 is thicker than the print medium 33, the first base material 31 can be easily peeled no matter how thin the print medium 33 is.

  As described above, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 in which the first base material 31 is attached to the print medium 33 has a first pressure-sensitive adhesive between the first base material 31 and the print medium 33. It is formed by coating with a thickness of about 25 μm. In this regard, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive may be filled in the entire area between the first base material 31 and the print medium 33, but the first pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied in a predetermined pattern and uniformly dispersed. Also good.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an application pattern example of the first adhesive for applying and forming the first adhesive layer 32. FIG. 18 (a) shows an example in which the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is applied intermittently (periodically) to the first base material 13 to form the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 like a polka dot pattern. ing. In FIG. 18B, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is formed in a lattice pattern by applying a linear first pressure-sensitive adhesive to the first base material 31 at an oblique angle and intermittently (periodically). Shows an example of coating formation. In FIG. 18C, a linear first adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) to the first base material 31 in the width direction, and the first adhesive layer 32 is applied and formed like a stripe pattern. An example is shown. In FIG. 18D, a linear first adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) to the first base material 31 in the longitudinal direction, and the first adhesive layer 32 is applied and formed like a stripe pattern. An example is shown.

  That is, with respect to the printing tape 5 manufactured by the printing apparatus using the printing cassette 1 according to the first embodiment, the print medium 33 is connected to the first substrate via the first adhesive layer 32 as described above. Since it is in a state of being attached to the material 31 and can be secured due to at least the thickness of the first base material 31, it is possible to ensure running performance in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment. In this regard, for example, when the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 18 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Compared with the case where it is applied, the first adhesive forming the first adhesive layer 32 is less likely to protrude from between the print medium 33 and the first substrate 31. Therefore, the runnability of the printing medium 33 in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment is further stabilized.

  Further, as described above, when the printing tape 5 (that is, the printing medium 33) is bonded to the adherend 61, the first base material 31 is attached to the printing medium 33 via the first adhesive layer 32. Since it is in the attached state and at least the thickness of the first base material 31 can secure the waist, it is possible to reliably attach the print medium 33 to the adherend 61 no matter how thin the print medium 33 is. (See FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C). In this respect, if the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 18 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Even when the print medium 33 is attached to the adherend 61 together with the first base material 31, it is easy to create a trigger for peeling the first base material 31 from the print medium 33. 1 The base material 31 is easy to peel off (see FIG. 6D).

  When the print medium 33 is attached to the adherend 61 via the second adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13, the print medium 33 and the second small tape 13 may be Since the total thickness is as thin as about 30 μm, if the print medium 33 is colorless and transparent, it is difficult to confirm its outline, and the ink 41 (print contents) on the print medium 33 can be conspicuous. Further, since the total weight of the print medium 33 and the second small tape 13 is also light, even if the adherend 61 is a rotating object such as a CD or a DVD, the rotation balance is not adversely affected. .

  In addition, even when affixed to the curved surface portion of the adherend 61, the print medium 33 is as thin as 10 μm, so that it is not gradually peeled off from the curved portion of the adherend 61. This effect can be realized even if the print medium 33 has a thickness of about 30 μm.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the printing surface 11 </ b> A to which the ink 41 is thermally transferred is on the back side of the printing medium 33, i.e., is laminated by the printing medium 33. It also has some rub resistance.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, for the printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment, the width of the first base material 31 is printed as shown in the plan view of FIG. It may be larger than the width of the medium 33. Conversely, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 8, the width of the first base material 31 may be smaller than the width of the print medium 33. In any of these cases, since the width of the first base material 31 and the width of the medium to be printed 33 are different, the first base material 31 can be easily distinguished, and it is convenient for the first base material 31 to be peeled off. is there.
Although not shown, this point is the same when the width of the second base material 52 of the second small tape 13 is increased.

  Moreover, even if the width of the first base material 31 is the same as the width of the print medium 33, as shown in the plan view of FIG. When a pattern or the like (for example, the letters “application film” in FIG. 9) is printed in advance on the first base material 31 itself, the presence of the first base material 31 is emphasized and the first base material 31 is peeled off. This is convenient. At this time, if the upper and lower sides of the printing tape 5 are suggested by characters / patterns or the like pre-printed on the first base material 31, it is convenient for adhering the printing tape 5 to the adherend 61 (see FIG. 6). is there.

  In addition, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 12, if the second base 52 of the second small tape 13 constituting the printing tape 5 is preliminarily provided with a half cut 71, the second of the second small tape 13. This is convenient when the substrate 52 is peeled off. Furthermore, similarly, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 13, if the first base material 31 is preliminarily provided with a half cut 81, it is convenient when the first base material 31 is peeled off.

  In addition, in FIG. 14 thru | or FIG. 17, the various aspects of the half cut 71 given beforehand to the 2nd base material 52 are shown. 14 (a) and 14 (b) show an example in which a plurality of half cuts 71 are applied in the width direction of the second base material 52. FIGS. 14 (c) and 14 (d) show the longitudinal direction of the second base material 52. The example which gave the some half cut 71 is shown. FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C show an example in which a linear half cut 71 is applied to the second base material 52. FIG. 16A, 16B, and 16C show an example in which a curved half-cut 71 is applied to the second base material 52. FIG. 17A, 17B, and 17C show an example in which the width direction of the second base material 52 and the half cut 71 in the longitudinal direction are combined.

  That is, for the printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, the second substrate is placed on the print medium 33 via the second adhesive layer 51. The material 52 is affixed (see FIG. 6A). And in order to affix the to-be-printed medium 33 to the to-be-adhered body 61, if a part of 2nd base material 52 is peeled along the half cut 71 from the to-be-printed medium 33 (refer FIG.6 (b) and FIG.12). Since a part of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 is exposed, a part of the printing medium 33 can be attached to the adherend 61 via a part of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 (FIG. 6C). ), See FIG.

  At this time, the remaining portion of the second base material 52 remains attached to the printing medium 33, and the rigidity of the remaining portion of the second base material 52 can ensure a firm state. Even if it is thin, it is possible to reliably affix a part of the print medium 33 to the adherend 61 without wrinkles. Furthermore, after that, if the remaining part of the second base material 52 is peeled off from the printing medium 33, the remaining part of the second adhesive layer 51 is exposed, so that the remaining part of the printing medium 33 is replaced with the remaining part of the second adhesive layer 51. It can affix on the to-be-adhered body 61 via. At this time, since the tensioned state can be secured by a part of the printing medium 33 attached to the adherend 61, no matter how thin the printing medium 33 is, the remaining portion of the printing medium 33 is wrinkled. Thus, it is possible to reliably affix to the adherend 61.

  That is, by repeatedly peeling the second base material 52 partly from the print medium 33 along the half-cut 71, the print medium 33 can be attached to the adherend 61 partly. The operation of reliably attaching the print medium 33 to the adherend 61 without any wrinkles becomes easy.

  Further, at this time, the first base material 31 is attached to the print medium 33 (see FIG. 6B and FIG. 12), and the rigidity of the first base material 31 can ensure a waisted state. Even if the print medium 33 is thin, it is possible to reliably attach the print medium 33 to the adherend 61 without wrinkles.

  Further, thereafter, the first base material 31 can be easily peeled from the print medium 33 by the half cut 81 (see FIG. 13).

  Note that the various forms of the half-cut 71 that are preliminarily applied to the second base material 52 shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 may be the forms of the half-cut 81 that is preliminarily applied to the first base material 31.

  Further, in the printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment, if the first base material 31 is colorless and transparent, the printing surface 11 </ b> A of the first small tape 11. The ink 41 that has been thermally transferred to (see FIG. 1 and the like) can be visually recognized and the top and bottom of the printing tape 5 can be confirmed, which is convenient when the printing tape 5 is bonded to the adherend 61. In addition, if the first base material 31 is colored and transparent, the presence of the first base material 31 is also visually recognized in addition to the ink 41 thermally transferred to the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11. Therefore, it is convenient when the printing tape 5 is adhered to the adherend 61 or when the first substrate 31 is peeled off.

On the other hand, if the first base material 31 is non-transparent, the ink 41 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) cannot be viewed.
That is, as described above, the printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 1 according to the first embodiment is formed on the printing medium 33 via the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32. The material 31 is affixed. Therefore, if the first base material 31 is non-transparent, as described above, the ink 41 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) is visually recognized. Since it cannot be done, it can be concealed. Therefore, it is impossible to visually recognize the print medium 33 through the first base material 31 and the ink 41 (print contents) on the print medium 33 can be concealed. The security effect on the content is demonstrated.

  However, it is inconvenient when the printing tape 5 is bonded to the adherend 61 unless the printed content of the printing medium 33 can be visually recognized. Accordingly, the first base material 13 or the second base material 52 is previously provided with a mark indicating the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33). If it is, it is convenient. FIG. 10 shows an example in which marks (arrows) indicating the vertical direction of the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) are provided on the first base material 31 in advance. FIG. The direction of the arrow indicates the upward direction, but may indicate the downward direction. Further, this arrow may be provided in advance on the second base material 52. In FIG. 11, marks (“→ R”, “L ←”) indicating the left and right directions of the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) are the second base material 52. It is the figure which showed the example previously provided. The mark “→ R” indicates the right direction. The mark indicated by “L ←” indicates the left direction. Further, these marks may be provided on the first base material 31 in advance.

  In this way, the mark indicating the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) is the first base material 31 or the second base material 52. If the printing medium 33 is provided in advance, even if it is impossible to visually recognize the printing medium 33 (the printing contents), if the mark is used as a clue, the printing medium 33 may be mistaken for the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. The printing tape 5 (the printing medium 33) can be attached to the adherend 61 without using the printing tape.

  The printing cassette 1 according to the first embodiment, when set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus, is present in the thermal head placement section 20 as shown in FIG. The thermal head H1 and the platen P1 facing the thermal head H1 print on the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the printing medium 33). At this time, the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 1 and the like) of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) faces the thermal head H1 of the tape printer through the ink surface of the ink ribbon 6 ( 2 and FIG. 3 (a)). FIG. 3B shows a view taken along line F1-F1 in FIG. 3A in this state. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the print medium 33 of the first small tape 11 is covered with the ink ribbon 6, so that it is hidden from the thermal head H1 of the tape printer.

  In addition, since the width of the ink ribbon 6 is larger than the width of the first small tape 11, even if the ink ribbon 6 is displaced in the width direction at the time of printing, the print medium 33 of the first small tape 11 is the ink ribbon. 6, the state hidden from the thermal head H1 of the tape printer is maintained. Therefore, since the heat at the time of printing generated by the thermal head H1 of the tape printer is transmitted to the print medium 33 of the first small tape 11 through the ink ribbon 6, it is transferred to the print medium 33 of the first small tape 11. Not transmitted directly. Therefore, since the printing medium 33 of the first small tape 11 is printed in a state where it is hardly affected by heat, the printing quality is good and the appearance is good.

  The printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment is of a thermal type printed by the thermal head H1 and the ink ribbon 6 of the tape printer. Even if the ink ribbon 6 is of a heat-sensitive type, the various effects described above (excluding the effect of making the ink ribbon 6 less susceptible to adverse effects of heat during printing) can be obtained. Therefore, in the following, the case where the heat-sensitive printing tape 5 is manufactured by the tape printing apparatus will be described with the difference from the thermal printing tape 5 being applied to the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment. .

  FIG. 20 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 20, the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment has an upper cassette case 2 and a lower cassette case 3, and the printing tape 5 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 4. The ink ribbon 6 shown in FIG. 1 does not exist.

  FIG. 21 is a plan view of the printing cassette 1 except for the upper cassette case 2 (see FIG. 20). In FIG. 21, in the lower cassette case 3 of the printing cassette 1, a tape spool 12 around which the second small tape 13 is wound, a film spool 14 around which the first small tape 11 is wound, and a ribbon supply The spool 15 and the ribbon take-up spool 16 are rotatably arranged in cooperation with spool support portions (not shown) formed in the upper cassette case 2 (see FIG. 20). The ink ribbon 6 does not exist in the ribbon supply spool 15 or the ribbon take-up spool 16.

  In this regard, the first small tape 11 includes a first base material (handling auxiliary film) made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm and a printing medium (thin film laminate) made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In addition, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed by applying a first pressure-sensitive adhesive (weak pressure-sensitive adhesive) with a thickness of about 25 μm between the first base material and the printing medium. (Weak adhesive layer) is formed by coating. The first small tape 11 is wound around the film spool 14 with the print medium side inside, and the first small tape 11 wound in this way is wound around the film spool 14. The inner side (one side of the print medium) is the print surface. Accordingly, the first small tape 11 wound on the film spool 14 passes through the guide roller 18 that can rotate from the guide pin 17 erected on the lower cassette case 3, and the arm portion formed on the lower cassette case 3. 19 and further exposed from the arm portion 19 outside the thermal head placement portion 20, and then discharged from the tape discharge portion 4 to the outside of the printing cassette 1 through the guide member 21 and the feed roller 22.

  In the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment, the thermal head H1 of the tape printing apparatus is present in the thermal head placement section 20 when set in the cassette mounting section of the tape printing apparatus. The first small tape 11 is sandwiched between the thermal head H1 and the platen roller P1 of the tape printer facing it.

  On the other hand, the second adhesive tape 13 is formed with a second adhesive layer having a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the second adhesive to a second substrate (release sheet) having a thickness of about 53 μm. ing. Then, the second small tape 13 is wound around the tape spool 12 with the second base side facing outward, and the second small tape 13 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 22. Then, the first small tape 11 is attached by being guided so that the application surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the printing surface of the first small tape 11 are overlapped, and printing is performed from the tape discharge unit 4. It is discharged outside the cassette 1 for use.

  As a result, the printing tape 5 constituted by the first small tape 11 and the second small tape 13 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 4 of the printing cassette 1. FIG. 22 shows an outline of a process in which the first small tape 11 and the second small tape 13 are guided on the lower cassette case 3 as described above.

  FIG. 19 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 5 taken along line A2-A2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, the printing tape 5 is composed of a first small tape 11 and a second small tape 13. In this regard, as described above, the first small tape 11 includes the first base material 31 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm, and the printing medium 33 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Further, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied between the first base material 31 and the other surface (side) of the print medium 33 with a thickness of about 25 μm. 32 is formed by coating.

  In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 33. Thereby, the printing surface 11A of the first small tape 11 is configured.

  Then, when the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer, the first small roll is generated by the thermal head H1 of the tape printer that comes to exist in the thermal head placement portion 20. Printing is performed by changing the color of the thermal colorant applied to the printing surface 11A (see FIG. 19 and the like) of the tape 11 (the printing medium 33).

  In addition, as described above, the second adhesive tape 13 has the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 formed by applying the second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the second base material (release sheet) 52 having a thickness of about 53 μm. The coating is formed with a thickness of 16 μm. Then, the print surface 11A of the first small tape 11 to which the ink 41 is adhered and the second adhesive layer 51 are overlapped, whereby the second small tape 13 is attached to the first small tape 11, and printing is performed. Tape 5 is obtained.

  Further, the printing tape 5 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 exposed by peeling off the second base material 52. Thereafter, when the first base material 31 is slowly peeled off, the print medium 33 is attached to the adherend 61 via the second adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13 as shown in FIG. Can do.

  Further, in the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment, the first small volume tape 11 is configured by attaching the first base material 31 and the printing medium 33 via the first adhesive layer 32. The first small tape 11 may be constituted by only the print medium 33. FIG. 24 is a view showing a cross section of the printing tape 5 manufactured using the first small tape 11 constituted only by the printing medium 33.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 24, the printing tape 5 is composed of a first small tape 11 and a second small tape 13. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 11 is composed only of the print medium 33 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In addition, as described above, the second adhesive tape 13 has the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 formed by applying the second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the second base material (release sheet) 52 having a thickness of about 53 μm. The coating is formed with a thickness of 16 μm. Then, the print surface 11A of the first small tape 11 to which the ink 41 is adhered and the second adhesive layer 51 are overlapped, whereby the second small tape 13 is attached to the first small tape 11, and printing is performed. Tape 5 is obtained.

  In FIG. 24, the print medium 33 and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 appear to float depending on the thickness of the ink 41. However, since the thickness of the ink 41 is actually thin, both are directly adhered.

Next, handling of the printing tape 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 5 discharged from the discharge portion 4 of the printing cassette 1 of the first embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. ), A belt-like printing tape 5 composed of the first small tape 11 (the medium to be printed 33) and the second small tape 13 (the second adhesive layer 51 and the second base material 52) is manufactured. Is done. And as shown in FIG.25 (b), the 2nd base material 52 of the 2nd small tape 13 is peeled, and the 2nd adhesive layer 51 of the 2nd small tape 13 is exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 of the second small tape 13 is attached to the adherend 61.

  At this time, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 26, if the second base 52 of the second small tape 13 constituting the printing tape 5 is preliminarily provided with a half cut 71, 2 This is convenient when the substrate 52 is peeled off. And the half cut 71 given beforehand to the 2nd base material 52 may be various modes shown in Drawing 14 thru / or Drawing 17 mentioned above, and even in this case, the above-mentioned effect which half cut 71 exhibits is acquired. be able to.

  Note that the printing tape 5 manufactured using the first small tape 11 constituted only by the printing medium 33 may be of a thermal type as well as a thermal type. FIG. 27 is a view showing a cross section of such a heat-sensitive type printing tape 5.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 27, the heat-sensitive printing tape 5 is composed of a first small tape 11 and a second small tape 13. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 11 is composed only of the print medium 33 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 33. Thereby, the printing surface 11A of the first small tape 11 is configured. In addition, as described above, the second adhesive tape 13 has the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 formed by applying the second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the second base material (release sheet) 52 having a thickness of about 53 μm. The coating is formed with a thickness of 16 μm. Then, the print surface 11A of the first small tape 11 and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 51 are overlapped, whereby the second small tape 13 is attached to the first small tape 11, and the heat-sensitive printing tape 5 is used. It becomes.

  In the first embodiment, the printing tape 5 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 1 has been described. However, the printing tape 5 may be manufactured using the tape printer in which the printing cassette 1 is set. Even if it is an impossible sheet-like printing tape (including a wide tape-like one), the above-described various effects (excluding the effects exhibited in the printing cassette 1) can be obtained. In this embodiment, the width of the ink ribbon 6 is larger than the width of the printing tape 5, but the width of the ink ribbon 6 and the width of the printing tape 5 may be the same.

  The thickness of the print medium 33 is desirably about 2.5 μm to 30 μm.

  Hereinafter, a printing cassette according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 29 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 29, the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment has an upper cassette case 102 and a lower cassette case 103, and the printing tape 105 is discharged from the tape discharge unit 104. Reference numeral 106 denotes an ink ribbon. The width of the ink ribbon 106 is larger than the width of the printing tape 105.

  FIG. 30A is a plan view of the printing cassette 101 excluding the upper cassette case 102 (see FIG. 29). 30A, in the lower cassette case 103 of the printing cassette 101, a tape spool 112 around which the third small tape 113 is wound and a film spool 114 around which the first small tape 111 is wound. The ribbon supply spool 115 around which the ink ribbon 106 is wound and the ribbon take-up spool 116 can be rotated in cooperation with a spool support portion (not shown) formed on the upper cassette case 102 (see FIG. 29). Is arranged.

  In this regard, the first small-volume tape 111 includes a first base material (handling auxiliary film) made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm and a printing medium (thin film laminate) made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In addition, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed by applying a first pressure-sensitive adhesive (weak pressure-sensitive adhesive) with a thickness of about 25 μm between the first base material and the printing medium. (Weak adhesive layer) is formed by coating. The first small tape 111 is wound around the film spool 114 with the print medium side facing inward. The first small tape 111 wound in this way is wound around the film spool 114. The inner side (one side of the print medium) is the print surface. Therefore, the first small tape 111 wound on the film spool 114 passes through the guide roller 118 that can rotate from the guide pin 117 erected on the lower cassette case 103, and the arm portion formed on the lower cassette case 103. After being guided to 119 and further exposed from the arm portion 119 to the outside of the thermal head placement portion 120, it is discharged from the tape discharge portion 104 to the outside of the printing cassette 101 through the guide member 121 and the feed roller 122.

  Further, the ink ribbon 106 is wound around the ribbon supply spool 115 with the ink application side surface inside, and the ink ribbon 106 wound around the ribbon supply spool 115 in this way is transferred from the arm portion 119 to the thermal head. The first small portion is exposed by being guided along the outside of the guide member 121 after being guided so that the ink application surface and the one surface (side) of the medium to be printed are superimposed on each other. The tape is separated from the printing surface of the winding tape 111 and wound on the ribbon winding spool 116.

  In the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, the thermal head H2 of the tape printer exists in the thermal head placement section 120 when set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer. The first small tape 111 and the ink ribbon 106 are sandwiched between the thermal head H2 and the platen roller P2 of the tape printer facing the thermal head H2.

  On the other hand, the third pressure-sensitive tape 113 has a third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a third pressure-sensitive adhesive to one side of a third base material (base film) made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by being coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive is coated on the other surface side of the third base material. A fourth substrate (release sheet) having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The third small tape 113 is wound around the tape spool 112 with the fourth base side facing outward, and the third small tape 113 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 122. Then, the first small tape 111 is attached by being guided so that the application surface of the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the printing surface of the first small tape 111 are overlapped, and printing is performed from the tape discharge unit 104. It is discharged to the outside of the cassette 101 for use.

  As a result, the print tape 105 constituted by the first small tape 111 and the third small tape 113 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 104 of the printing cassette 101. FIG. 31 shows an outline of a process in which the first small tape 111, the third small tape 113, and the ink ribbon 106 are guided on the lower cassette case 103 as described above.

  FIG. 28 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 105 taken along line B1-B1 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 28, the print tape 105 is composed of a first small tape 111 and a third small tape 113. In this regard, as described above, the first small tape 111 includes a first base 131 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm, and a printing medium 133 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Further, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied between the first base material 131 and the other surface (side) of the print medium 133 with a thickness of about 25 μm. 132 is formed by coating. Further, as described above, the third adhesive tape 113 is formed by applying the third adhesive to one side of the third base material 152 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The layer 151 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other surface side of the third base material 152. Further, a fourth base material 154 having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153. Then, the print surface 111A of the first small tape 111 to which the ink 141 is attached and the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 are overlapped, whereby the third small tape 113 is attached to the first small tape 111, and printing is performed. The tape 105 is obtained.

  Furthermore, the printing tape 105 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 exposed by peeling off the fourth base material 154. Thereafter, when the first substrate 131 is slowly peeled off, as shown in FIG. 32, the third adhesive 151 of the third small tape 113 and the ink 141 thermally transferred onto the printing surface 111A of the printing medium 133 are formed. It can be attached to the adherend 161 via the third base material 152 and the fourth adhesive layer 153.

  Here, in FIG. 28 and FIG. 32, the print medium 133 and the third adhesive layer 151 appear to float depending on the thickness of the ink 141. However, since the thickness of the ink 141 is actually thin, both are directly adhered. ing.

  However, as described above, in order to affix the printing medium 133 on which the ink 141 is thermally transferred onto the printing surface 111A to the first base material 131, as the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132, The main component is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any of acrylic, rubber, and silicone monomers, and various additives (for example, cross-linking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, It does not matter whether or not a pigment or the like is blended, but since it is a part that is temporarily affixed and finally peeled off, a material having a weak adhesive strength is used.

  On the other hand, as the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153, a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as acrylic, rubber-based, or silicone-based is used. It does not matter whether or not various additives (for example, cross-linking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, pigments, etc.) are blended as the main component, but in particular, for the adhesive that forms the fourth adhesive layer 153 Those having an adhesive strength corresponding to the adherend 161 are used.

  The printing cassette 101 is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus, and the printing tape 105 is manufactured. The cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus is provided with a discharge portion 104 of the printing cassette 101. A cutter device (not shown) for cutting the discharged printing tape 105 is provided. Here, since the configuration of the printing cassette 101 described with reference to FIG. 29 and the like and the configuration of the tape printing apparatus in which the printing cassette 101 is mounted to produce the printing tape 105 are known, the printing cassette 101 and the tape Detailed description when the printing tape 105 is manufactured by the printing apparatus will be omitted.

Next, handling of the printing tape 105 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 105 discharged from the discharge portion 104 of the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. ), The first small roll tape 111 (first base 131, first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132, print medium 133) and third small roll tape 113 (third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151, third base material). A belt-like print tape 105 composed of 152, the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153, and the fourth base material 154) is manufactured. And as shown in FIG.33 (b), the 4th base material 154 of the 3rd small tape 113 is peeled, and the 4th adhesive layer 153 of the 3rd small tape 113 is exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 33 (c), the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113 is adhered to the adherend 161.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 33 (d), the first base material 131 is slowly peeled off from the adherend 161. At this time, the first adhesive layer 132 is also peeled off together with the first base material 131, so that only the print medium 133 can be left. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The medium 133 is attached to the adherend 161 by the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151, the third base material 152, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 of the third roll tape 113. This ink 141 was thermally transferred from the ink ribbon 106 (see FIG. 30A, etc.) to the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (the printing medium 133) by the tape printer. Is.

As described above in detail, the printing cassette 101 according to the second embodiment can be discharged from the tape printing apparatus by being mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus.
And about the printing tape 105 discharged | emitted from a tape printer, after cut | disconnecting with the cutter apparatus of a tape printer, the 4th base material 154 is peeled from the 3rd small tape 113 stuck on the 1st small tape 111. The first base material is peeled off (see FIG. 33B) and the exposed fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113 is adhered to the adherend 161 (see FIG. 33C). When the film 131 is peeled off slowly (see FIG. 33D), the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 is peeled off together with the first base material 131, while the print medium 133 remains on the adherend 161 together with the ink 141, as shown in FIG. As described above, the print medium 133 having the print surface 111A on which the ink 141 is thermally transferred on the back side has the third adhesive layer 151, the third base material 152, and the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113. Through, Since affixed to adherend 161, it is possible to paste the "laminated tape" to the adherend 161 (see FIG. 33 (e)).

Further, the print medium 133 is in the form of a first small tape 111 configured by being attached to the first base material 131 via the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 (see FIG. 28), and FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, the printing tape attached from the state wound around the film spool 114 in the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment via the third small tape 113 and the third adhesive layer 151. Since it is discharged from the tape discharge unit 104 in the state of 105, it is possible to ensure the running property in the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment even if the print medium 133 is thin.
In particular, in the second embodiment, since the first base 131 is thicker than the print medium 133, the first small tape 111 in the print cassette 101 of the second embodiment even if the print medium 133 is thin. Can be ensured.

Moreover, when making it adhere | attach to the to-be-adhered body 161, as shown to Fig.33 (a) (b), it exists in the state by which the 1st small winding tape 111 was affixed on the 3rd small winding tape 113, and at least 1st Since a thin state can be secured by the thickness of the small tape 111, the “laminate tape” is attached to the adherend 161 as shown in FIG. 33, no matter how thin the printing medium 133 constituting the “laminate tape” is. Easy to paste.
In particular, in the second embodiment, since the first base 131 is thicker than the print medium 133, the first base 131 can be easily peeled no matter how thin the print medium 133 is.

  As described above, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 in which the first base material 131 is bonded to the print medium 133 has a first pressure-sensitive adhesive between the first base material 131 and the print medium 133. It is formed by coating with a thickness of about 25 μm. In this regard, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive may be filled in the entire area between the first base material 131 and the print medium 133, but the first pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied in a predetermined pattern and uniformly dispersed. Also good.

  FIG. 45 is a diagram showing an application pattern example of the first adhesive for applying and forming the first adhesive layer 132. FIG. 45 (a) shows an example in which the first adhesive layer 132 is applied and formed like a polka dot pattern by intermittently (periodically) applying the dotted first adhesive to the first substrate 131. ing. In FIG. 45 (b), a linear first adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) to the first base material 131 at an oblique angle, and the first adhesive layer 132 looks like a lattice pattern. Shows an example of coating formation. In FIG. 45 (c), the linear first adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) in the width direction to the first base material 131 to form the first adhesive layer 132 in a striped pattern. An example is shown. In FIG. 45 (d), a linear first adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) in the longitudinal direction to the first base material 131, and the first adhesive layer 132 is applied and formed like a stripe pattern. An example is shown.

  That is, with respect to the printing tape 105 manufactured by the printing apparatus using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, as described above, the print medium 133 has the first substrate via the first adhesive layer 132. Since it is in a state of being stuck to the material 131 and can be secured by at least the thickness of the first base material 131, it is possible to ensure the running performance in the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment. In this regard, for example, when the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 45 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Compared with the case where it is applied, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 is less likely to protrude from between the print medium 133 and the first base material 131. Therefore, the running property of the printing medium 133 in the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is further stabilized.

  Further, as described above, when the printing tape 105 (that is, the printing medium 133) is bonded to the adherend 161, the first substrate 131 is attached to the printing medium 133 via the first adhesive layer 132. Since it is in the attached state and at least the thickness of the first base material 131 can ensure a firm state, no matter how thin the medium to be printed 133 is, the work for reliably attaching the medium to be printed 133 to the adherend 161 (See FIGS. 33A, 33B, and 33C). In this respect, if the first pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 45 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Even when the print medium 133 is attached to the adherend 161 together with the first base material 131, it is easy to create a trigger to peel off the first base material 131 from the print target medium 133. 1 The base material 131 is easily peeled off (see FIG. 33D).

  When the print medium 133 is attached to the adherend 161 via the third adhesive layer 151, the third base material 152, and the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113, Since the total thickness of the print medium 133 and the third small tape 113 is as thin as about 58 μm, it is difficult to confirm the outline if the print medium 133 is colorless and transparent, and the ink 141 (print contents) on the print medium 133 ) Can stand out. Further, since the total weight of the print medium 133 and the third small tape 113 is also light, even if the adherend 161 is a rotating object such as a CD or a DVD, the rotation balance is not adversely affected. .

  Even when the print medium 133 is attached to the curved surface portion of the adherend 161, the print medium 133 is as thin as 10 μm, and therefore, it is not gradually peeled off from the curved portion of the adherend 161. This effect can be realized even if the print medium 133 has a thickness of about 30 μm.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 32, the print surface 111A on which the ink 141 is thermally transferred is on the back side of the print medium 133, that is, is laminated by the print medium 133. It also has some rub resistance.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, for the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, the width of the first base 131 is printed as shown in the plan view of FIG. It may be larger than the width of the medium 133. Conversely, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 35, the width of the first base 131 may be smaller than the width of the print medium 133. In any of these cases, since the width of the first base material 131 and the width of the print medium 133 are different, the first base material 131 can be easily distinguished, and it is convenient for the first base material 131 to be peeled off. is there.
Although not shown, this point is the same when the width of the fourth base material 154 of the third small tape 113 is increased.

  Further, even if the printing tape 105 has the same width as the printing medium 133, the first base 131 has a character indicating that it is the first base 131 as shown in the plan view of FIG. When a pattern or the like (for example, the letters “application film” in FIG. 36) is printed in advance on the first base material 131 itself, the presence of the first base material 131 is emphasized, and the first base material 131 is peeled off. This is convenient. At this time, if the upper and lower sides of the print tape 105 are suggested by characters / patterns or the like pre-printed on the first base 131, it is convenient for bonding the print tape 105 to the adherend 161 (see FIG. 33, etc.). is there.

  Also, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 39, if the fourth base 154 of the third small tape 113 constituting the printing tape 105 is preliminarily half-cut 171, This is convenient when the substrate 154 is peeled off. Furthermore, similarly, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 40, if the half cut 181 is applied to the first base 131 in advance, it is convenient when the first base 131 is peeled off.

  In addition, in FIG. 41 thru | or FIG. 44, the various aspects of the half cut 171 given beforehand to the 4th base material 154 are shown. 41 (a) and 41 (b) show an example in which a plurality of half-cuts 171 are applied in the width direction of the fourth base material 154. FIGS. 41 (c) and 41 (d) show the longitudinal direction of the fourth base material 154. The example which gave the some half cut 171 is shown. 42A, 42B, and 42C show an example in which a linear half-cut 171 is applied to the fourth base material 154. FIG. 43A, 43B, and 43C show an example in which a curved half cut 171 is applied to the fourth base material 154. FIG. 44A, 44B, and 44C show an example in which the width direction of the fourth base material 154 and the half cut 171 in the longitudinal direction are combined.

  That is, as described above, the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is connected to the printing medium 133 via the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151. The material 152 is affixed, and the print medium 133 and the third substrate 152 are integrated (see FIG. 33A). And in order to affix the to-be-printed medium 133 to the to-be-adhered body 161, a part of 4th base material 154 affixed on the 3rd base material 152 via the 4th adhesive layer 153 is followed along the half cut 171. If it peels from the 3rd base material 152 (refer to Drawing 33 (b) and Drawing 39), since a part of 4th adhesive layer 153 will be exposed, printing medium 133 with which the 3rd base material 152 was united is exposed. A part can be affixed to the adherend 161 via a part of the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 (see FIGS. 33C and 39).

  At this time, the remaining portion of the fourth base material 154 remains attached to the print medium 133 via the third base material 152, and a firm state can be secured by the rigidity of the remaining portion of the fourth base material 154. Therefore, no matter how thin the print medium 133 is, it is possible to reliably affix a part of the print medium 133 to the adherend 161 without wrinkles. Further, after that, if the remaining part of the fourth base material 154 is peeled off from the third base material 152 integrated with the print medium 133, the remaining part of the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 is exposed. The remaining part of the printing medium 133 integrated with the adhesive member 161 can be attached to the adherend 161 via the remaining part of the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 154. At this time, since the tensioned state can be secured by a part of the print medium 133 attached to the adherend 161, no matter how thin the print medium 133 is, the remaining portion of the print medium 133 can be wrinkled. Therefore, it is possible to perform the operation of securely attaching to the adherend 161.

  That is, by repeatedly peeling the fourth base material 154 from the third base material 152 integrated with the print target medium 133 along the half-cut 171 part by part, the print target medium 133 is partly attached. Since it can be affixed to 161, it is easy to reliably affix the print medium 133 to the adherend 161 without wrinkles.

  Further, at this time, the first base material 131 is in a state of being attached to the print medium 133 (see FIG. 33B and FIG. 39), and the rigidity of the first base material 131 can ensure a waisted state. Even if the print medium 133 is thin, the print medium 133 can be securely attached to the adherend 161 without wrinkles.

  Furthermore, after that, the first base material 131 can be easily peeled off from the printing medium 133 by the half cut 181 (see FIG. 40).

  41 to 44, the various aspects of the half cut 171 previously applied to the fourth base material 154 may be the aspects of the half cut 181 previously applied to the first base material 131.

  Moreover, in the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, if the first base 131 is colorless and transparent, the printing surface 111A of the first small tape 111 is used. Since the ink 141 thermally transferred to (see FIG. 28 and the like) can be visually recognized and the top and bottom of the printing tape 105 can be confirmed, it is convenient when the printing tape 105 is adhered to the adherend 161. If the first base material 131 is colored and transparent, the presence of the first base material 131 is also visually recognized in addition to the ink 141 thermally transferred to the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111. Therefore, it is convenient when the printing tape 105 is adhered to the adherend 161 or when the first substrate 131 is peeled off.

On the other hand, if the first substrate 131 is non-transparent, the ink 141 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28 and the like) of the first small-volume tape 111 (the medium to be printed 133) cannot be visually recognized.
That is, as described above, the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is connected to the printing medium 133 via the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 132. The material 131 is affixed. Therefore, if the first base material 131 is non-transparent, as described above, the ink 141 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (of the printing medium 133) is visually recognized. Since it cannot be done, it can be concealed. Therefore, it is impossible to visually recognize the print medium 133 through the first base material 131, and the ink 141 (print contents) on the print medium 133 can be concealed. The security effect on the content is demonstrated.

  However, it is inconvenient when the printing tape 105 is adhered to the adherend 161 unless the printed content of the printing medium 133 can be visually recognized. Accordingly, the first base 131 or the fourth base 154 is previously provided with a mark indicating the vertical or horizontal direction of the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (the printing medium 133). If it is, it is convenient. FIG. 37 shows an example in which a mark (arrow) indicating the vertical direction of the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (the printing medium 133) is provided on the first base 131 in advance. FIG. The direction of the arrow indicates the upward direction, but may indicate the downward direction. In addition, this arrow may be provided on the fourth base material 154 in advance. In FIG. 38, marks (“→ R”, “L ←”) indicating the left and right directions of the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (the printing medium 133) are the fourth base material 154. It is the figure which showed the example previously provided. The mark “→ R” indicates the right direction. The mark indicated by “L ←” indicates the left direction. Further, these marks may be provided on the first base 131 in advance.

  In this way, the mark indicating the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small-volume tape 111 (the medium to be printed 133) is the first base material 131 or the fourth base material 154. If the printing medium 133 is preliminarily provided, even if it is impossible to visually recognize the printing medium 133 (contents of printing), if the mark is used as a clue, the printing medium 133 may be mistaken in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. In addition, the printing tape 105 (the printing medium 133) can be attached to the adherend 161.

  In addition, when the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus, as shown in FIG. The thermal head H2 and the platen P2 opposed thereto print on the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the first small tape 111 (the printing medium 133). At that time, the print surface 111A (see FIG. 28 and the like) of the first small tape 111 (the print medium 133) faces the thermal head H2 of the tape printer via the ink surface of the ink ribbon 106 (see FIG. 28). FIG. 29 and FIG. 30 (a)). FIG. 30B shows a view taken along line F2-F2 in FIG. 30A in this state. As shown in FIG. 30B, since the print medium 133 of the first small tape 111 is covered with the ink ribbon 106, it is hidden from the thermal head H2 of the tape printer.

  In addition, since the width of the ink ribbon 106 is larger than the width of the first small-volume tape 111, even if the ink ribbon 106 is displaced in the width direction during printing, the print medium 133 of the first small-volume tape 111 is the ink ribbon. 106 keeps the state hidden from the thermal head H2 of the tape printer. Therefore, since the heat at the time of printing generated by the thermal head H2 of the tape printer is transmitted to the print medium 133 of the first small tape 111 via the ink ribbon 106, the heat is transmitted to the print medium 133 of the first small tape 111. Not transmitted directly. For this reason, the printing medium 133 of the first small tape 111 is printed in a state in which it is hardly affected by heat, so that the printing quality is good and the appearance is good.

  Further, the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is a thermal type printed by the thermal head H2 and the ink ribbon 106 of the tape printer. Even if the ink ribbon 106 is of a heat-sensitive type, the various effects described above (excluding the effect of making the ink ribbon 106 less susceptible to the adverse effects of heat during printing) can be obtained. Therefore, in the following, the case where the heat-sensitive printing tape 105 is manufactured by the tape printing apparatus will be described with application to the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, focusing on the difference from the thermal printing tape 105. .

  FIG. 47 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 47, the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment has an upper cassette case 102 and a lower cassette case 103, and the printing tape 105 is discharged from the tape discharge unit 104. Note that the ink ribbon 106 shown in FIG. 29 does not exist.

  FIG. 48 is a plan view of the printing cassette 101 excluding the upper cassette case 102 (see FIG. 47). In FIG. 48, in the lower cassette case 103 of the printing cassette 101, a tape spool 112 around which the third small tape 113 is wound, a film spool 114 around which the first small tape 111 is wound, and a ribbon supply A spool 115 and a ribbon take-up spool 116 are rotatably arranged in cooperation with a spool support portion (not shown) formed in the upper cassette case 102 (see FIG. 47). The ink ribbon 106 does not exist in the ribbon supply spool 115 or the ribbon take-up spool 116.

  In this regard, the first small-volume tape 111 includes a first base material (handling auxiliary film) made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm and a printing medium (thin film laminate) made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In addition, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed by applying a first pressure-sensitive adhesive (weak pressure-sensitive adhesive) with a thickness of about 25 μm between the first base material and the printing medium. (Weak adhesive layer) is formed by coating. The first small tape 111 is wound around the film spool 114 with the print medium side facing inward. The first small tape 111 wound in this way is wound around the film spool 114. The inner side (one side of the print medium) is the print surface. Therefore, the first small tape 111 wound on the film spool 114 passes through the guide roller 118 that can rotate from the guide pin 117 erected on the lower cassette case 103, and the arm portion formed on the lower cassette case 103. After being guided to 119 and further exposed from the arm portion 119 to the outside of the thermal head placement portion 120, it is discharged from the tape discharge portion 104 to the outside of the printing cassette 101 through the guide member 121 and the feed roller 122.

  In the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, the thermal head H2 of the tape printer exists in the thermal head placement section 120 when set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer. The first small tape 111 and the ink ribbon 106 are sandwiched between the thermal head H2 and the platen roller P2 of the tape printer facing the thermal head H2.

  On the other hand, the third pressure-sensitive tape 113 has a third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a third pressure-sensitive adhesive to one side of a third base material (base film) made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by being coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive is coated on the other surface side of the third base material. A fourth substrate (release sheet) having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The third small tape 113 is wound around the tape spool 112 with the fourth base side facing outward, and the third small tape 113 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 122. Then, the first small tape 111 is attached by being guided so that the application surface of the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the printing surface of the first small tape 111 are overlapped, and printing is performed from the tape discharge unit 104. It is discharged to the outside of the cassette 101 for use.

  As a result, the print tape 105 constituted by the first small tape 111 and the third small tape 113 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 104 of the printing cassette 101. FIG. 49 shows an outline of a process in which the first small tape 111 and the third small tape 113 are guided on the lower cassette case 103 as described above.

  FIG. 46 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 105 taken along line B2-B2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 46, the printing tape 105 is composed of a first small tape 111 and a third small tape 113. In this regard, as described above, the first small tape 111 includes a first base 131 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm, and a printing medium 133 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Further, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied between the first base material 131 and the other surface (side) of the print medium 133 with a thickness of about 25 μm. 132 is formed by coating.

  In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 133. Thereby, the printing surface 111 </ b> A of the first small tape 111 is configured.

  When the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus, the first small roll is generated by the thermal head H2 of the tape printing apparatus that is present in the thermal head placement section 120. Printing is performed by changing the color of the heat-sensitive color former applied to the printing surface 111A (see FIG. 28, etc.) of the tape 111 (the medium to be printed 133).

  Further, as described above, the third adhesive tape 113 is formed by applying the third adhesive to one side of the third base material 152 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The layer 151 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other surface side of the third base material 152. Further, a fourth base material 154 having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153. Then, the print surface 111 </ b> A of the first small tape 111 and the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 are overlapped, whereby the third small tape 113 is attached to the first small tape 111 and becomes the print tape 105.

  Furthermore, the printing tape 105 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 exposed by peeling off the fourth base material 154. Thereafter, when the first base member 131 is slowly peeled off, the print medium 133 is replaced with the third adhesive 151, the third base material 152, and the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113 as shown in FIG. It can be made to stick to adherend 161 via.

  Further, in the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment, the first small tape 111 is configured by attaching the first base material 131 and the printing medium 133 via the first adhesive layer 132. The first roll tape 111 may be configured only by the print medium 133. FIG. 51 is a view showing a cross section of the printing tape 105 manufactured using the first small tape 111 constituted only by the printing medium 133.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 51, the printing tape 105 is composed of a first small volume tape 111 and a third small volume tape 113. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 111 includes only the print medium 133 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Further, as described above, the third adhesive tape 113 is formed by applying the third adhesive to one side of the third base material 152 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The layer 151 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other surface side of the third base material 152. Further, a fourth base material 154 having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153. Then, the print surface 111A of the first small tape 111 to which the ink 141 is attached and the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 are overlapped, whereby the third small tape 113 is attached to the first small tape 111, and printing is performed. The tape 105 is obtained.

  In FIG. 51, the print medium 133 and the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 appear to float depending on the thickness of the ink 141. However, since the thickness of the ink 141 is actually thin, both are directly adhered.

Next, handling of the printing tape 105 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 105 discharged from the discharge portion 104 of the printing cassette 101 of the second embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. ), The first small tape 111 (printed medium 133) and the third small tape 113 (third adhesive layer 151, third base material 152, fourth adhesive layer 153, fourth base material). 154) is produced. Then, as shown in FIG. 52 (b), the fourth base material 154 of the third small tape 113 is peeled off to expose the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113. Further, as shown in FIG. 52 (c), the fourth adhesive layer 153 of the third small tape 113 is adhered to the adherend 161.

  At this time, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 53, if a half cut 171 is previously applied to the fourth base 154 of the third small tape 113 constituting the printing tape 105, the third This is convenient when the four base materials 154 are peeled off. And the half cut 171 given beforehand to the 4th base material 154 may be various modes shown in Drawing 41 thru / or 44 mentioned above, and even in this case, the above-mentioned effect which half cut 171 exhibits is acquired. be able to.

  Note that the print tape 105 manufactured using the first small-volume tape 111 constituted only by the print medium 133 may be of a thermal type as well as a thermal type. FIG. 54 is a view showing a cross section of such a heat-sensitive printing tape 105.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 54, the heat-sensitive printing tape 105 is composed of a first small tape 111 and a third small tape 113. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 111 includes only the print medium 133 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 133. Thereby, the printing surface 111 </ b> A of the first small tape 111 is configured. Further, as described above, the third adhesive tape 113 is formed by applying the third adhesive to one side of the third base material 152 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The layer 151 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 20 μm, and the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other surface side of the third base material 152. Further, a fourth base material 154 having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the fourth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 153. Then, the print surface 111A of the first small tape 111 and the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 151 are overlapped, so that the third small tape 113 is attached to the first small tape 111, and the heat-sensitive type print tape 105. It becomes.

  In the second embodiment, the printing tape 105 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 101 has been described. However, it may be manufactured by using the tape printer in which the printing cassette 101 is set. Even if it is an impossible sheet-like printing tape (including a wide tape-like one), the above-described various effects (excluding the effects produced in the printing cassette 101) can be obtained. In this embodiment, the width of the ink ribbon 106 is larger than the width of the printing tape 105, but the width of the ink ribbon 106 and the width of the printing tape 105 may be the same.

  The thickness of the print medium 133 is desirably about 2.5 μm to 30 μm.

  Hereinafter, a printing cassette according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 56 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 56, the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment has an upper cassette case 202 and a lower cassette case 203, and the printing tape 205 is discharged from the tape discharge unit 204. Reference numeral 206 denotes an ink ribbon. The width of the ink ribbon 206 is larger than the width of the printing tape 205.

  FIG. 57A is a plan view of the printing cassette 201 excluding the upper cassette case 202 (see FIG. 56). 57A, in the lower cassette case 203 of the printing cassette 201, a tape spool 212 around which the second small tape 213 is wound and a film spool 214 around which the first small tape 211 is wound. The ribbon supply spool 215 around which the ink ribbon 206 is wound and the ribbon take-up spool 216 can be rotated by cooperation with a spool support portion (not shown) formed on the upper cassette case 202 (see FIG. 56). Is arranged.

  In this respect, the first small tape 211 has a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the print medium (thin film base film) made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. Is applied and formed, and a release sheet is affixed to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the inner side (one side of the printing medium) wound around the film spool 214 becomes the printing surface. Therefore, the first small tape 211 wound on the film spool 214 is passed through the guide roller 218 that can rotate from the guide pin 217 provided upright on the lower cassette case 3, and the arm portion formed on the lower cassette case 203. 219 and further exposed to the outside of the thermal head placement portion 220 from the arm portion 219, and then discharged from the tape discharge portion 204 to the outside of the printing cassette 201 through the guide member 221 and the feed roller 222.

  Further, the ink ribbon 206 is wound around the ribbon supply spool 215 with the ink application side surface inside, and the ink ribbon 206 wound around the ribbon supply spool 215 in this manner is transferred from the arm portion 219 to the thermal head. After being guided so that the ink application surface is exposed on the outer side of the arrangement portion 220 and the printing surface of the first small tape 211 are superimposed, the first guide is performed along the outer side of the guide member 221. The tape is separated from the printing surface of the small winding tape 211 and wound on the ribbon winding spool 216.

  In the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, the thermal head H3 of the tape printer exists in the thermal head placement unit 220 when set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer. The first small tape 211 and the ink ribbon 206 are sandwiched between the thermal head H3 and the platen roller P3 of the tape printer facing the thermal head H3.

  On the other hand, the second small tape 213 is formed by applying a second adhesive (weak adhesive) with a thickness of about 25 μm to one side of the second base material (handling auxiliary film) made of “PET sheet”. Two pressure-sensitive adhesive layers (weak pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) are formed by coating. Then, the second small tape 213 is wound around the tape spool 212 with the second base material side outside, and the second small tape 213 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 222. By guiding the application surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the printing surface of the first small tape 211 so as to overlap each other, the first small tape 211 is attached and printed from the tape discharge unit 204. It is discharged outside the cassette 201. Therefore, the printing surface of the first small tape 211 is also a surface to which the second adhesive layer of the second small tape 213 is attached.

  As a result, the printing tape 205 constituted by the first small tape 211 and the second small tape 213 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 204 of the printing cassette 201. FIG. 58 shows an outline of a process in which the second small tape 213, the first small tape 211, and the ink ribbon 206 are guided on the lower cassette case 203 as described above.

  FIG. 55 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 205 taken along line C1-C1 in FIG. 57 (a). As shown in FIG. 55, the printing tape 205 is composed of a first small tape 211 and a second small tape 213. In this regard, as described above, the second adhesive tape 213 is formed by applying the second adhesive with a thickness of about 25 μm to one side of the second substrate 252 made of a PET sheet. Is formed by coating. In addition, as described above, the first adhesive tape 211 is formed by applying the first adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the printing medium 233 made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. The adhesive layer 232 is applied and formed, and the first base material 231 is attached to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 233. Then, the print surface 211A (of the printing medium 233) of the first small tape 211 to which the ink 241 is attached and the second adhesive layer 251 are overlapped, so that the first small tape 211 becomes the second small tape. Affixed to 213 and becomes the print tape 205. Therefore, the printing surface 211A (of the printing medium 233) of the first small tape 211 is also a surface to which the second adhesive layer 251 of the second small tape 213 is attached.

  Further, the printing tape 205 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 exposed by peeling off the first base material 231. Thereafter, when the second small tape 213 is slowly peeled off, as shown in FIG. 59, the print medium 233 is adhered to the adherend 261 via the first adhesive layer 232 together with the ink 241 thermally transferred onto the print surface 211A. Can be attached to.

  Here, in FIG. 55, the print medium 233 and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 appear to float depending on the thickness of the ink 241, but since the thickness of the ink 241 is actually thin, both are directly adhered.

  However, as described above, in order to attach the printing medium 233 having the ink 241 thermally transferred onto the printing surface 211A to the second small tape 213, the second adhesive for forming the second adhesive layer 251 is used. The main component is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as acrylic, rubber or silicone, and various additives (for example, cross-linking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers). , Pigments, etc.) may or may not be blended, but since it is a part that is temporarily affixed and finally peeled off, it has a weak adhesive strength.

  On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is mainly composed of a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as acrylic, rubber-based, or silicone-based, with various additions. Whether or not an agent (for example, a cross-linking agent, a tackifier, a softener, a stabilizer, a pigment, or the like) is blended is not limited, but those having an adhesive strength according to the adherend 261 are used.

  The printing cassette 201 is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus, and the printing tape 205 is manufactured. The cassette mounting portion of the tape printing apparatus is provided with a discharge portion 204 of the printing cassette 201. A cutter device (not shown) for cutting the discharged printing tape 205 (provided with a cutting blade) is provided. Since the configuration of the printing cassette 201 described with reference to FIG. 56 and the like and the configuration of the tape printing apparatus in which such a printing cassette 201 is mounted to produce the printing tape 205 are known, the printing cassette 201 and the tape Detailed description when the printing tape 205 is manufactured by the printing apparatus is omitted.

Next, handling of the printing tape 205 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 205 discharged from the discharge portion 204 of the printing cassette 201 of this embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the first small tape 211 (first base material 231, first adhesive layer 232, print medium 233) and second small tape 213 (second adhesive layer 251, second base material 252). ) Is formed. Then, as shown in FIG. 60B, the first base material 231 of the first small tape 211 is peeled off to expose the first adhesive layer 232 of the first small tape 211. Further, as shown in FIG. 60 (c), the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 of the first small tape 211 is adhered to the adherend 261.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 60 (d), the second base material 252 is slowly peeled off from the adherend 261. At this time, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 is peeled off together with the second base material 252, and only the second small tape 213 can be peeled off, so that the ink 241 is thermally transferred as shown in FIG. The print medium 233 is attached to the adherend 261 by the first adhesive layer 232. The ink 241 was thermally transferred from the ink ribbon 206 (see FIG. 57A, etc.) to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small tape 211 (the print medium 233) by the tape printer. Is.

As described in detail above, the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment can be ejected from the printing apparatus by being mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the printing apparatus.
And about the printing tape 205 discharged | emitted from a printing apparatus, after cut | disconnecting with the cutter apparatus of a tape printing apparatus, the 1st base material 231 is peeled off from the 1st small volume tape 211 affixed on the 2nd small volume tape 213. (See FIG. 60 (b)), with the first adhesive layer 232 of the exposed first small-volume tape 211 adhered to the adherend 261 (see FIG. 60 (c)), the second small-volume tape When the sheet 213 is peeled off slowly (see FIG. 60D), the print medium 233 remains on the adherend 261 together with the ink 241, and there is a print surface 211A on which the ink 241 is thermally transferred as shown in FIG. Since the print medium 233 with one surface exposed is attached to the adherend 261 via the first adhesive layer 232, a “non-laminate tape” can be attached to the adherend 261 (FIG. 0 (e) reference).

  Further, the print medium 233 is in the form of a first small tape 211 formed by being attached to the first base material 231 via the first adhesive layer 232 (see FIG. 55), and FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, the printing tape attached from the state wound around the film spool 214 in the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment via the second small tape 213 and the second adhesive layer 251. Since the tape is discharged from the tape discharge unit 204 in the state 205, the running property in the printing cassette 201 of the second embodiment can be ensured even if the print medium 233 is thin.

Moreover, when making it adhere | attach to the to-be-adhered body 261, as shown to Fig.60 (a) (b), it exists in the state by which the 2nd small tape 213 was affixed on the 1st small tape 211, and at least 2nd Since a thin state can be secured by the thickness of the small tape 13, no matter how thin the printing medium 233 constituting the “non-laminate tape” is, the “non-laminate tape” is attached to the adherend as shown in FIG. It is easy to perform the work of pasting to H.261.
In this regard, when the adhesion surface of the adherend 261 is a curved surface, the second small tape 213 should be made thin and extendable in order to make it adhere to the curved surface. In consideration of ensuring ease of execution, the thickness of the second small tape 213 is desirably about 30 to 50 μm.
In particular, in the third embodiment, if the second substrate 252 is thicker than the print medium 233, the second substrate 252 can be easily peeled regardless of how thin the print medium 233 is.

  Note that, as described above, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 in which the second base material 252 is bonded to the print medium 233 has a second pressure-sensitive adhesive of about 25 μm with respect to one surface side of the second base material 252. It is formed by coating with a thickness. In this regard, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive may be applied to the entire surface of the second base material 252, but the second pressure-sensitive adhesive may be applied in a predetermined pattern and uniformly dispersed.

  FIG. 73 is a diagram showing an application pattern example of the second adhesive for forming the second adhesive layer 251 by application. FIG. 73 (a) shows an example in which a second adhesive 251 is applied intermittently (periodically) to the second substrate 252 and the second adhesive layer 251 is applied and formed like a polka dot pattern. ing. In FIG. 73 (b), the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 has a lattice pattern by intermittently (periodically) applying a linear second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the second base material 252 at an oblique angle. Shows an example of coating formation. In FIG. 73 (c), a linear second adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) in the width direction to the second substrate 252 to form a second adhesive layer 251 like a stripe pattern. An example is shown. In FIG. 73 (d), a second linear adhesive is applied intermittently (periodically) in the longitudinal direction to the second base 252 to form the second adhesive layer 251 in a striped pattern. An example is shown.

  That is, with respect to the printing tape 205 manufactured by the printing apparatus using the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, the print medium 233 is connected to the second substrate via the second adhesive layer 251 as described above. Since it is in a state of being attached to the material 252 and can be secured due to at least the thickness of the second base material 252, it is possible to ensure traveling performance in the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment. In this regard, for example, when the second pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 73 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Compared with the case where it is applied, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 is less likely to protrude from between the print medium 233 and the second base material 252. Therefore, the running property of the printing medium 233 in the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment is further stabilized.

  Further, as described above, when the printing tape 205 (that is, the printing medium 233) is bonded to the adherend 261, the second base material 252 is attached to the printing medium 233 via the second adhesive layer 251. Since it is in a state of being attached and can be secured by at least the thickness of the second base material 252, the work of securely attaching the print medium 233 to the adherend 261 no matter how thin the print medium 233 is (See FIGS. 60A, 60B, and 60C). In this regard, if the second pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 251 is uniformly dispersed in a predetermined pattern as shown in FIGS. 73 (a), (b), (c), and (d), for example, Even when the print medium 233 is attached to the adherend 2161 together with the second substrate 252, it is easy to create a trigger for peeling the second substrate 252 from the print medium 233. 2 The base material 252 is easily peeled off (see FIG. 60D).

  When the print medium 233 is attached to the adherend 261 via the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232, the total thickness of the print medium 233 and the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is as thin as about 26 to 31 μm. Therefore, if the print medium 233 is colorless and transparent, it is difficult to confirm the outline, and the ink 241 (print contents) on the print medium 233 can be made conspicuous. In addition, since the total weight of the printing medium 233 and the first adhesive layer 232 is also light, even if the adherend 261 is a rotating object such as a CD or a DVD, the rotation balance is not adversely affected. .

  Even when the print medium 233 is pasted on the curved surface portion of the adherend 261, the print medium 233 is as thin as 10 to 15 μm, so that it is not gradually peeled off from the curved portion of the adherend 261. This effect can be realized even if the print medium 233 has a thickness of about 30 μm.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, with respect to the printing tape 205 manufactured by the printing apparatus using the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, for example, as shown in the plan view of FIG. It may be larger than the width of the small tape 211. In addition, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 63, the width of the second small tape 213 may be smaller than the width of the first base material 231 of the first small tape 211. As shown in the plan view 62, the width of the print medium 233 and the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 of the first small tape 211 may be smaller than the width of the second small tape 213. In these cases, since the width of the second small tape 213 and the width of the first base material 231 of the first small tape 211 are different from each other, the second small tape 213 and the first tape 211 have the first width. The first base material 231 is easy to distinguish, and is convenient when the first base material 231 of the second small tape 213 or the first small tape 211 is peeled off.

  Further, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 64, even if the width of the second small tape 213 is the same as the width of the first small tape 211, the second base material of the second small tape 213 is used. If characters / patterns or the like indicating application tape are printed on the surface of 252 in advance (for example, “application film” in FIG. 64), the presence of the second small tape 213 is emphasized. This is convenient when the second roll tape 213 is peeled off. At this time, if the upper and lower sides of the print tape 205 are suggested by characters / patterns or the like pre-printed on the second small tape 213, it is convenient for bonding the print tape 205 to the adherend 261 (see FIG. 60, etc.). It is.

  In addition, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 67, if the first base 231 of the first small roll tape 211 constituting the printing tape 205 is preliminarily provided with a half cut 271, the first small roll tape 211 first This is convenient when the substrate 231 is peeled off. Furthermore, similarly, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 68, if the second small tape 213 is preliminarily cut in half, the second small tape 213 is convenient for peeling off.

  In addition, in FIG. 69 thru | or FIG. 72, the various aspects of the half cut 271 given beforehand to the 1st base material 231 are shown. 69 (a) and 69 (b) show an example in which a plurality of half cuts 271 are applied in the width direction of the first base member 231, and FIGS. 69 (c) and 69 (d) show the longitudinal direction of the first base member 231. The example which gave the some half cut 271 is shown. 70A, 70B, and 70C show an example in which a linear half cut 271 is applied to the first base material 231. FIG. 71A, 71B, and 71C show an example in which a curved half cut 271 is applied to the first base member 231. FIG. 72A, 72B, and 72C show an example in which the width direction of the first base material 231 and the half cut 271 in the longitudinal direction are combined.

  In other words, as described above, the printing tape 205 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 201 according to the third embodiment is attached to the printing medium 233 via the first adhesive layer 232. The material 231 is pasted, and the print medium 233 and the first base material 231 are integrated (see FIG. 60A). And in order to affix the to-be-printed medium 233 to the to-be-adhered body 261, if a part of 1st base material 231 is peeled from the to-be-printed medium 233 along the half cut 271 (refer FIG.60 (b), FIG.67). Since a part of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is exposed, a part of the print medium 233 can be attached to the adherend 261 via a part of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 (FIG. 60C). ), FIG. 67).

  At this time, the remaining portion of the first base material 231 remains attached to the print medium 233, and a stiff state can be secured by the rigidity of the remaining portion of the first base material 231, so that the print medium 233 is no matter how much. Even if it is thin, it is possible to reliably affix a part of the print medium 233 to the adherend 261 without wrinkles. Further, after that, if the remaining portion of the first base material 231 is peeled off from the printing medium 233, the remaining portion of the first adhesive layer 232 is exposed, so that the remaining portion of the printing medium 233 is replaced with the remaining portion of the first adhesive layer 231. It can affix on the to-be-adhered body 261 via. At this time, since the tensioned state can be secured by a part of the printing medium 233 attached to the adherend 261, no matter how thin the printing medium 233 is, the remaining portion of the printing medium 233 can be wrinkled. Therefore, it is possible to perform the work of securely attaching to the adherend 261.

  That is, by repeatedly peeling the first base material 231 partly from the print medium 233 along the half-cut 271, the print medium 233 can be attached to the adherend 261 partly. The work of reliably affixing the print medium 233 to the adherend 261 without wrinkles becomes easy.

  Further, at this time, the second base material 252 is attached to the print medium 233 (see FIG. 60B and FIG. 67), and the rigidity of the second base material 252 can secure a waisted state. Even if the print medium 233 is thin, it is possible to reliably attach the print medium 233 to the adherend 261 without wrinkles.

  Further, thereafter, the second base material 252 can be easily peeled off from the print medium 233 by the half cut 281 (see FIG. 68).

  41 to 44, the various aspects of the half cut 171 previously applied to the fourth base material 154 may be the aspects of the half cut 181 previously applied to the first base material 131.

  Further, in the printing tape 205 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, if the second small tape 213 is colorless and transparent, the printing surface of the first small tape 211 is printed. Since the ink 241 thermally transferred to 211A (see FIG. 55 and the like) can be visually recognized and the top and bottom of the printing tape 205 can be confirmed, it is convenient when the printing tape 205 is adhered to the adherend 261. Further, if the second small tape 213 is colored and transparent, in addition to the ink 241 thermally transferred to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small tape 211, the presence of the second small tape 213 is also included. Since it can be visually recognized, it is convenient when the printing tape 205 is adhered to the adherend 261 or when the second small tape 213 is peeled off.

On the other hand, if the second base material 252 is non-transparent, the ink 241 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small-volume tape 211 (the medium to be printed 233) cannot be viewed.
That is, as described above, the printing tape 205 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment is connected to the printing medium 233 via the second adhesive layer 251 with the second substrate. The material 252 is attached. Therefore, if the second base material 252 is non-transparent, as described above, the ink 241 that has been thermally transferred to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small-volume tape 211 (the medium to be printed 233) is visually recognized. Since it cannot be done, it can be concealed. Therefore, it is impossible to visually recognize the printing medium 233 through the second base material 252 and the ink 241 (printing content) on the printing medium 233 can be concealed. The security effect on the content is demonstrated.

  However, it is inconvenient when the printing tape 205 is bonded to the adherend 261 unless the printed content of the printing medium 233 can be visually recognized. Accordingly, the first base material 231 or the second base material 252 is previously provided with a mark indicating the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small tape 211 (the printing medium 233). If it is, it is convenient. FIG. 65 shows an example in which a mark (arrow) indicating the vertical direction of the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small-volume tape 211 (the medium to be printed 233) is provided on the second base material 252 in advance. FIG. The direction of the arrow indicates the upward direction, but may indicate the downward direction. Further, this arrow may be provided in advance on the first base material 231. In FIG. 66, marks (“→ R”, “L ←”) indicating the left and right directions of the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small-volume tape 211 (the printing medium 233) are the first base material 231. It is the figure which showed the example previously provided. The mark “→ R” indicates the right direction. The mark indicated by “L ←” indicates the left direction. Further, these marks may be provided on the second base material 252 in advance.

  In this way, the mark indicating the vertical direction or the horizontal direction of the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55, etc.) of the first small tape 211 (the printing medium 233) is the first base material 231 or the second base material 252. If the printing medium 233 is provided in advance, even if it is impossible to visually recognize the printing medium 233 (the contents to be printed), if the mark is used as a clue, the printing medium 233 may be mistaken for the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. The print tape 205 (print medium 233) can be attached to the adherend 261.

  Further, when the cassette for printing 201 of the third embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer, as shown in FIG. 57 (a), the tape printer which comes to exist in the thermal head arrangement portion 220. The thermal head H3 and the platen P3 facing the thermal head H3 print on the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55 and the like) of the first small tape 211 (the printing medium 233). At that time, the print surface 211A (see FIG. 55 and the like) of the first small tape 211 (the print target medium 233) faces the thermal head H3 of the tape printer through the ink surface of the ink ribbon 206 (see FIG. 55). 56 and 57 (a)). FIG. 57 (b) shows a view taken along line F3-F3 in FIG. 57 (a) in this state. As shown in FIG. 57B, the print medium 233 of the first small tape 211 is covered with the ink ribbon 206, and is therefore hidden from the thermal head of the tape printer.

  In addition, since the width of the ink ribbon 206 is larger than the width of the first small tape 211, even if the ink ribbon 206 is displaced in the width direction at the time of printing, the print medium 233 of the first small tape 211 is the ink ribbon. By 206, the state hidden from the thermal head H3 of the tape printer is maintained. Therefore, the heat at the time of printing generated by the thermal head H3 of the tape printer is transmitted to the print medium 233 of the first small tape 211 via the ink ribbon 206, and therefore, to the print medium 233 of the first small tape 211. Not transmitted directly. For this reason, the print medium 233 of the first small tape 211 is printed in a state in which it is hardly affected by heat, so that the print quality is good and the appearance is good.

  In addition, the printing tape 205 manufactured by the tape printer using the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment is a thermal type printed by the thermal head H3 and the ink ribbon 206 of the tape printer. Even if the ink ribbon 206 is unnecessary, the various effects described above (excluding the effect of making the ink ribbon 206 less susceptible to the adverse effects of heat during printing) can be obtained. Therefore, the following description will be made with the difference between the thermal type printing tape 205 and the case where the thermal type printing tape 205 is manufactured by the tape printing apparatus applied to the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment. .

  FIG. 75 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 75, the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment has an upper cassette case 202 and a lower cassette case 203, and the printing tape 205 is discharged from the tape discharge unit 204. Note that the ink ribbon 206 shown in FIG. 56 does not exist.

  FIG. 76 is a plan view of the printing cassette 201 excluding the upper cassette case 202 (see FIG. 75). In FIG. 76, in the lower cassette case 203 of the printing cassette 201, a tape spool 212 around which the second small tape 213 is wound, a film spool 214 around which the first small tape 211 is wound, and a ribbon supply A spool 215 and a ribbon take-up spool 216 are rotatably disposed in cooperation with a spool support portion (not shown) formed in the upper cassette case 202 (see FIG. 75). The ink ribbon 206 does not exist in the ribbon supply spool 215 or the ribbon take-up spool 216.

  In this respect, the first small tape 211 has a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the print medium (thin film base film) made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. Is applied and formed, and a release sheet is affixed to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the inner side (one side of the printing medium) wound around the film spool 214 becomes the printing surface. Accordingly, the first small tape 211 wound on the film spool 214 is passed through a guide roller 218 that can be rotated from a guide pin 217 erected on the lower cassette case 203, and an arm portion formed on the lower cassette case 203. 219 and further exposed to the outside of the thermal head placement portion 220 from the arm portion 219, and then discharged from the tape discharge portion 204 to the outside of the printing cassette 201 through the guide member 221 and the feed roller 222.

  In the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, the thermal head H3 of the tape printer exists in the thermal head placement unit 220 when set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer. The first small tape 211 and the ink ribbon 206 are sandwiched between the thermal head H3 and the platen roller P3 of the tape printer facing the thermal head H3.

  On the other hand, the second small tape 213 is formed by applying a second adhesive (weak adhesive) with a thickness of about 25 μm to one side of the second base material (handling auxiliary film) made of “PET sheet”. Two pressure-sensitive adhesive layers (weak pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) are formed by coating. Then, the second small tape 213 is wound around the tape spool 212 with the second base material side outside, and the second small tape 213 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 222. By guiding the application surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the printing surface of the first small tape 211 so as to overlap each other, the first small tape 211 is attached and printed from the tape discharge unit 204. It is discharged outside the cassette 201. Therefore, the printing surface of the first small tape 211 is also a surface to which the second adhesive layer of the second small tape 213 is attached.

  As a result, the printing tape 205 constituted by the first small tape 211 and the second small tape 213 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 204 of the printing cassette 201. FIG. 77 shows an outline of a process in which the first small tape 211 and the second small tape 213 are guided on the lower cassette case 203 as described above.

  FIG. 74 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 205 taken along line C2-C2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 74, the printing tape 205 is composed of a first small tape 211 and a second small tape 213. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 211 is formed by applying the first pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the printing medium 233 made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is applied and formed, and the first base material 231 is attached to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 233.

  In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 233. Thereby, the printing surface 211 </ b> A of the first small tape 211 is configured.

  Then, when the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer, the first small roll is generated by the thermal head H3 of the tape printer that comes to exist in the thermal head placement portion 220. Printing is performed by changing the color of the thermal colorant applied to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 55 and the like) of the tape 211 (the medium to be printed 233).

  Further, as described above, the second adhesive tape 213 has the second adhesive layer 251 formed on the one surface side of the second base material 252 made of a PET sheet with a thickness of about 25 μm. It is formed by coating. Then, the first small-volume tape 211 is attached to the second small-volume tape 213 by overlapping the print surface 211A (of the print medium 233) of the first small-volume tape 211 and the second adhesive layer 251. The print tape 205 is obtained. Therefore, the printing surface 211A (of the printing medium 233) of the first small tape 211 is also a surface to which the second adhesive layer 251 of the second small tape 213 is attached.

  Further, the printing tape 205 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 exposed by peeling off the first base material 231. Thereafter, when the second substrate 252 is slowly peeled off, the print medium 233 can be attached to the adherend 261 via the first adhesive layer 232 as shown in FIG.

  In the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment, the first small tape 211 and the second small tape 213 constitute the printing tape 205, but the first small tape 211 alone constitutes the printing tape 205. May be. FIG. 79 is a view showing a cross section of the printing tape 205 manufactured using only the first small tape 211.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 79, the printing tape 205 is composed of only the first small tape 211. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 211 is formed by applying the first pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the printing medium 233 made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is applied and formed, and the first base material 231 is attached to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 233. Then, the ink 241 is thermally transferred to the printing surface 211A of the first small tape 211, so that the printing tape 205 is obtained.

Next, handling of the printing tape 205 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 205 discharged from the discharge portion 204 of the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer, for example, FIG. ), A belt-like print tape 205 composed only of the first small tape 211 (first base material 231, first adhesive layer 232, print medium 233) is manufactured. And as shown in FIG.80 (b), the 1st base material 231 of the 1st small tape 211 is peeled, and the 1st adhesive layer 232 of the 1st small tape 211 is exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 80 (c), the first adhesive layer 232 of the first small tape 211 is attached to the adherend 261.

  At this time, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 81, if the first base 231 of the first small tape 211 constituting the printing tape 205 is preliminarily half-cut 271, This is convenient when the base material 231 is peeled off. And the half cut 271 given beforehand to the 1st base material 231 may be various modes shown in Drawing 69 thru / or 72 mentioned above, and even in this case, the above-mentioned effect which half cut 271 exhibits is acquired. be able to.

  Note that the printing tape 205 manufactured using the first small-volume tape 211 composed only of the first small-volume tape 211 may be of a thermal type as well as a thermal type. FIG. 82 is a view showing a cross section of such a heat-sensitive type printing tape 205.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 82, the heat-sensitive printing tape 205 is composed of only the first small tape 211. In this respect, as described above, the first small tape 211 is formed by applying the first pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the printing medium 233 made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 232 is applied and formed, and the first base material 231 is attached to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 233. In this regard, a heat-sensitive color former is applied to one surface (side) of the print medium 233. Thereby, the printing surface 211 </ b> A of the first small tape 211 is configured. Then, when the printing cassette 201 of the third embodiment is set in the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer, the first small-volume tape is formed by the thermal head of the tape printer that comes to exist in the thermal head placement portion 220. Printing is performed by changing the color of the heat-sensitive color former applied to the printing surface 211A (see FIG. 82 and the like) of 211 (the printing medium 233). As a result, a heat-sensitive printing tape 205 is obtained.

  In the third embodiment, the printing tape 205 manufactured by the tape printing apparatus using the printing cassette 201 has been described. However, the printing tape 205 may be manufactured by using the tape printing apparatus in which the printing cassette 201 is set. Even if it is an impossible sheet-like printing tape (including a wide tape-like one), the various effects described above (excluding the effects produced in the printing cassette 201) can be obtained. In this embodiment, the width of the ink ribbon 206 is larger than the width of the print tape 205, but the width of the ink ribbon 206 and the width of the print tape 205 may be the same.

  The thickness of the print medium 233 is preferably about 2.5 μm to 30 μm.

  Hereinafter, a printing cassette according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on a fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 84 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 84, the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment has an upper cassette case 1002 and a lower cassette case 1003, and the printing tape 1005 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 1004. Reference numeral 1006 denotes an ink ribbon.

  FIG. 85 is a plan view of the printing cassette 1001 except for the upper cassette case 1002 (see FIG. 84). 85, in the lower cassette case 1003 of the printing cassette 1001, a tape spool 1012 wound with a double-sided adhesive tape 1013, a film spool 1014 wound with a laminated laminate tape 1011 and an ink ribbon 1006 are wound. The ribbon supply spool 1015 and the ribbon take-up spool 1016 are rotatably arranged in cooperation with a spool support portion (not shown) formed in the upper cassette case 1002 (see FIG. 84).

  In this respect, the laminated laminate tape 1011 is formed by laminating a handling auxiliary film made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm and a thin film laminated film made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Between the film and the thin film laminate film, the weak pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied and formed by applying the weak pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 25 μm. The laminated laminate tape 1011 is wound around the film spool 1014 with the thin film laminated film side facing outside. In the laminated laminate tape 1011 wound in this way, the inside ( One side of the thin film laminate film) is the printing surface. Accordingly, the laminated laminate tape 1011 wound around the film spool 1014 passes from the guide pin 1017 erected on the lower cassette case 1003 to the rotatable guide roller 1018 to the arm portion 1019 formed on the lower cassette case 1003. After being guided and further exposed outside the thermal head placement portion 1020 from the arm portion 1019, it is discharged from the tape discharge portion 1004 to the outside of the printing cassette 1 through the guide member 1021 and the feed roller 1022.

  Further, the ink ribbon 1006 is wound around the ribbon supply spool 1015 with the ink application side face inside, and the ink ribbon 1006 wound around the ribbon supply spool 1015 in this manner is transferred from the arm portion 1019 to the thermal head. The laminated laminate tape is exposed outside the placement portion 1020 and guided along the outside of the guide member 1021 after being guided so that the ink application surface and one surface (side) of the thin film laminate film are overlapped. It is separated from the printing surface 1011 and is wound on the ribbon take-up spool 1016.

  Meanwhile, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is formed by coating the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a thickness of about 20 μm by applying the first pressure-sensitive adhesive to one side of the base film made of “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. In addition, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other side of the base film, and the thickness of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is about 53 μm. The release sheet is affixed. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is wound around the tape spool 1012 with the release sheet side outside, and the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 wound in this way is fed by the feed roller 1022 with its first pressure-sensitive adhesive. By guiding the layer application surface and the printing surface of the laminated laminate tape 1011 so as to overlap each other, the laminated laminate tape 1011 is attached and discharged from the tape discharge unit 1004 to the outside of the printing cassette 1001.

  As a result, the print tape 1005 constituted by the laminated laminate tape 1011 and the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 1004 of the print cassette 1001. FIG. 86 shows an outline of a process in which the laminated laminate tape 1011, the double-sided adhesive tape 1013, and the ink ribbon 1006 are guided on the lower cassette case 1003 as described above.

  FIG. 83 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 1005 taken along line DD in FIG. As shown in FIG. 83, the printing tape 1005 includes a laminated laminate tape 1011 and a double-sided adhesive tape 1013. In this regard, as described above, the laminated laminate tape 1011 is formed by laminating the auxiliary handling film 1051 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 70 μm and the thin film laminated film 1053 made of a urethane sheet having a sheet thickness of about 10 μm. Furthermore, a weak adhesive layer 1052 is applied and formed between the handling auxiliary film 1051 and the other surface (side) of the thin laminate film 1053 by applying a weak adhesive with a thickness of about 25 μm. Yes. Further, as described above, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 has the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1031 approximately formed by applying the first pressure-sensitive adhesive to one side of the base film 1032 made of a “PET sheet” having a sheet thickness of about 12 μm. The second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033 is coated and formed with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the second pressure-sensitive adhesive to the other surface side of the base film 1032 while being coated and formed with a thickness of 20 μm. A release sheet 1034 having a thickness of about 53 μm is attached to the agent layer 1033. Then, the printing surface 1011A of the laminated laminate tape 1011 to which the ink 1041 is attached and the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1031 are overlapped, whereby the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 is attached to the laminated laminate tape 1011 to form the printing tape 1005.

  Furthermore, the printing tape 1005 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033 exposed by peeling off the release sheet 1034. Thereafter, when the handling auxiliary film 1051 is slowly peeled off, as shown in FIG. 87, the thin film laminate film 1053 is passed through the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (second adhesive layer 1033) together with the ink 1041 thermally transferred onto the printing surface 1011A. Thus, it can be attached to the adherend 1061.

  However, as described above, in order to affix the thin film laminate film 1053 on which the ink 1041 is thermally transferred onto the printing surface 1011A to the handling auxiliary film 1051, as the weak adhesive for forming the weak adhesive layer 1052, acrylic or The main component is a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of any monomer such as rubber or silicone, and various additives (for example, crosslinking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, pigments, etc.) Although it does not ask | require the presence or absence of mixing | blending, since it is a part which is affixed temporarily and is finally peeled off, a thing with weak adhesive strength is used.

  On the other hand, as the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1031 and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033, a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as acrylic, rubber-based, or silicone-based is used. It does not matter whether or not various additives (for example, cross-linking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, pigments, etc.) are blended as the main component, but in particular for the adhesive that forms the second adhesive layer 1033 Those having an adhesive strength corresponding to the adherend 1061 are used.

  The printing cassette 1001 is set in a cassette mounting portion of a tape printing device (not shown) to produce a printing tape 1005. The cassette mounting portion of the tape printing device includes a discharge portion of the printing cassette 1001. A cutter device (having a cutting blade) (not shown) for cutting the printing tape 1005 discharged from 1004 is provided. Here, the configuration of the printing cassette 1001 described with reference to FIG. 84 and the like and the configuration of the tape printing apparatus in which the printing cassette 1001 is mounted and the printing tape 1005 is manufactured are well known. Detailed description when the printing tape 1005 is manufactured by the printing apparatus is omitted.

Next, handling of the printing tape 1005 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 1005 discharged from the discharge portion 1004 of the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer (not shown) is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer (not shown), For example, as shown in FIG. 88 (a), a laminated laminate tape 1011 (handling auxiliary film 1051, weak adhesive layer 1052, thin film laminate film 1053) and double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (first adhesive layer 1031, base film 1032, A belt-like printing tape 1005 composed of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033 and the release sheet 1034) is manufactured. Then, as shown in FIG. 88 (b), the release sheet 1034 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is peeled off to expose the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013. Further, as shown in FIG. 88 (c), the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1033 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is attached to the adherend 1061.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 88 (d), the handling auxiliary film 1051 is slowly peeled off from the adherend 1061. At this time, the weak adhesive layer 1052 is peeled off together with the handling auxiliary film 1051, so that only the thin film laminate film 1053 can be left. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 88 (e), the thin film laminate film 1053 to which the ink 1041 is thermally transferred is provided. Is attached to the adherend 1061 by the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (second adhesive layer 1033). The ink 1041 is heat-transferred from the ink ribbon 1006 (see FIG. 85, etc.) to the printing surface 1011A (see FIG. 83, etc.) of the laminated laminate tape 1011 (thin film laminate film 1053) by a tape printer (not shown). is there.

As described above in detail, the printing cassette 1001 according to the fourth embodiment is mounted on a cassette mounting portion of a tape printing apparatus (not shown), thereby discharging the printing tape 1005 from the tape printing apparatus (not shown). Is possible.
And about the printing tape 1005 discharged | emitted from the tape printing apparatus not shown, after cut | disconnecting with the cutter apparatus of a tape printing apparatus not shown, the peeling sheet 1034 is peeled from the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 affixed on the lamination | stacking laminated tape 1011. With the second adhesive layer 1033 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 exposed (see FIG. 88 (c)) peeled off (see FIG. 88 (b)) (see FIG. 88 (c)), the handling auxiliary film 1051 is slowly When peeled off (see FIG. 88D), the weak adhesive layer 1052 is peeled off together with the handling auxiliary film 1051, while the thin laminate film 1053 remains on the adherend 1061 together with the ink 1041. As shown in FIG. A thin film laminate film 10 having a printing surface 1111A on the back side of which is thermally transferred. 3 is affixed to the adherend 1061 via the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (second adhesive layer 1033), so that the “laminate tape” can be affixed to the adherend 1061 (see FIG. 88 (e)). ).

The thin film laminate film 1053 has the form of a laminated laminate tape 1011 configured by being attached to the handling auxiliary film 1051 through the weak adhesive layer 1052 (see FIG. 83). As shown in FIG. From the state wound around the film spool 1014 in the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment to the state of the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 and the printing tape 1005 pasted through the first adhesive layer 1031, the tape discharge unit Since it is discharged from 1004, even if the thin film laminate film 1053 is thin, it is possible to ensure the running performance in the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment.
In particular, in the fourth embodiment, since the handling auxiliary film 1051 is thicker than the thin film laminate film 1053, even if the thin film laminate film 1053 is thin, the running property of the laminated tape 1011 in the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment. Can be secured.

Further, when adhering to the adherend 1061, as shown in FIGS. 88A and 88B, the laminated laminate tape 1011 is attached to the double-sided adhesive tape 1013, and at least the thickness of the laminated laminate tape 1011 is present. As a result, it is easy to attach the “laminate tape” to the adherend 1061 as shown in FIG. 88, no matter how thin the thin film laminate film 1053 constituting the “laminate tape” is. .
In particular, in the fourth embodiment, since the handling assisting film 1051 is thicker than the thin film laminating film 1053, the handling assisting film 1051 is easy to peel off no matter how thin the thin film laminating film 1053 is.

  Further, when the thin film laminate film 1053 is attached to the adherend 1061 via the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (second adhesive layer 1033), the total thickness of the thin film laminate film 1053 and the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 is about Since the thin film laminate film 1053 is colorless and transparent, it is difficult to confirm the outline of the thin film laminate film 1053, and the ink 1041 (print contents) on the thin film laminate film 1053 can be conspicuous. In addition, since the total weight of the thin film laminate film 1053 and the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is also light, even if the adherend 1061 is a rotating object such as a CD or a DVD, the rotation balance is not adversely affected.

  Further, even when attached to the curved surface portion of the adherend 1061, the thin film laminate film 1053 is as thin as 10 μm, so that it is not gradually peeled off from the curved portion of the adherend 1061. This effect can be realized even if the thickness of the thin film laminate film 1053 is about 15 μm.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 87, the printing surface 1011A on which the ink 1041 is thermally transferred is on the back side of the thin film laminate film 1053, that is, laminated with the thin film laminate film 1053. It also has some rub resistance.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, with respect to a printing tape 1005 manufactured by a tape printing apparatus (not shown) using the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment, for example, as shown in the plan view of FIG. It may be larger than the width of the thin film laminate film 1053. Conversely, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 90, the width of the handling auxiliary film 1051 may be smaller than the width of the thin film laminate film 1053. In any of these cases, since the width of the handling auxiliary film 1051 and the width of the thin film laminate film 1053 are different, the handling auxiliary film 1051 is easily distinguished, and it is convenient when the handling auxiliary film 1051 is peeled off.
Although not shown, this point is the same when the width of the release sheet 1034 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 is increased.

  Moreover, even if the width of the handling auxiliary film 1051 is the same as the width of the thin film laminate film 1053, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 91, characters / patterns indicating that it is the handling auxiliary film 1051, etc. If, for example, the letters “application film” in FIG. 91 are printed in advance on the handling assistance film 1051 itself, the presence of the handling assistance film 1051 is emphasized, which is convenient when the handling assistance film 1051 is peeled off. At this time, if the upper and lower sides of the printing tape 1005 are suggested by characters / patterns or the like pre-printed on the handling auxiliary film 1051, it is convenient for bonding the printing tape 1005 to the adherend 1061 (see FIG. 88 and the like). .

  Also, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 92, if half-cut S1 is applied in advance to the release sheet 1034 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013 constituting the printing tape 1005, it is convenient for peeling the release sheet 1034 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1013. It is. Furthermore, similarly, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 93, if the handling assisting film 1051 is subjected to half-cut S2 in advance, it is convenient for peeling the handling assisting film 1051.

  In the printing tape 1005 manufactured by a tape printing apparatus (not shown) using the printing cassette 1001 of the fourth embodiment, if the handling assistance film 1051 is colorless and transparent, the printing surface 1011A of the laminated laminate tape 1011 is printed. Since the ink 1041 thermally transferred to (see FIG. 83 and the like) can be visually recognized and the top and bottom of the printing tape 1005 can be confirmed, it is convenient when the printing tape 1005 is adhered to the adherend 1061. Further, if the handling assisting film 1051 is colored and transparent, the presence of the handling assisting film 1051 can be visually recognized in addition to the ink 1041 thermally transferred to the printing surface 1011A (see FIG. 83 and the like) of the laminated laminate tape 1011. This is convenient when the printing tape 1005 is adhered to the adherend 1061 or when the handling auxiliary film 1051 is peeled off.

Moreover, in the printing tape 1005 manufactured with the tape printing apparatus not shown using the printing cassette 1001 of 4th Embodiment, it replaced with the double-sided adhesive tape 1013, and the figure cut | disconnected by the line DD of FIG. As shown in the cross-sectional view of 94, a single-layer adhesive tape 1101 may be used.
That is, the single-layer adhesive tape 1101 is formed by coating the third adhesive layer 1035 with a thickness of about 16 μm by applying the third adhesive agent to the release sheet 1034 having a thickness of about 53 μm.
Then, the print surface 1011A of the laminated laminate tape 1011 to which the ink 1041 is adhered and the third adhesive layer 1035 are overlapped, whereby the single-layer adhesive tape 1101 is attached to the laminated laminate tape 1011 to form the printed tape 1005.
Furthermore, the printing tape 1005 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the third pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1035 exposed by peeling the release sheet 1034. Thereafter, when the handling auxiliary film 1051 is slowly peeled off, as shown in FIG. 95, the thin film laminate film 1053 is attached to the adherend 1061 through the third adhesive layer 1035 together with the ink 1041 thermally transferred onto the printing surface 1011A. Can be made.
In addition, as an adhesive which forms the 3rd adhesive layer 1035, the adhesive which forms the 2nd adhesive layer 1033 is used.

  And even when it replaces with the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 and the single layer adhesive tape 1101 is used, there can exist each effect mentioned above. However, since the thickness of the single-layer adhesive tape 1101 (about 69 μm) is smaller than the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape 1013 (about 101 μm) while having the release sheet 1034 having the same thickness as a component, the outline of the “laminate tape” is In addition, when the adherend 1061 is a rotating object (such as a CD or a DVD), it can be more difficult to adversely affect the rotation balance.

  Hereinafter, a printing cassette according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings based on a fifth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 97 is a perspective view of the printing cassette. As shown in FIG. 97, the printing cassette 2001 of the fifth embodiment has an upper cassette case 2002 and a lower cassette case 2003, and the printing tape 2005 is discharged from the tape discharge portion 2004. Reference numeral 2006 denotes an ink ribbon.

  FIG. 98 is a plan view of the printing cassette 2001 excluding the upper cassette case 2002 (see FIG. 97). In FIG. 98, in the lower cassette case 2003 of the printing cassette 2001, a tape spool 2012 around which an application tape 2013 is wound, a film spool 2014 around which a thin film tape 2011 is wound, and an ink ribbon 2006 are wound. A ribbon supply spool 2015 and a ribbon take-up spool 2016 are rotatably arranged in cooperation with spool support portions (not shown) formed in the upper cassette case 2002 (see FIG. 97).

  In this regard, the thin film tape 2011 has an adhesive layer applied and formed on the other side of the thin film base film made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm with a thickness of about 16 μm. A release sheet is affixed to the layer, and the inner side (one side of the thin film base film) wound around the film spool 2014 serves as a printing surface. Accordingly, the thin film tape 2011 wound around the film spool 2014 is guided from the guide pins 2017 provided on the lower cassette case 2003 through the rotatable guide rollers 2018 to the arm portion 2019 formed on the lower cassette case 2003. Further, after being exposed outside the thermal head placement portion 2020 from the arm portion 2019, it is discharged from the tape discharge portion 2004 to the outside of the printing cassette 2001 through the guide member 2021 and the feed roller 2022.

  The ink ribbon 2006 is wound around the ribbon supply spool 2015 with the ink application side facing inward, and the ink ribbon 2006 wound around the ribbon supply spool 2015 in this way is transferred from the arm portion 2019 to the thermal head. Printed on the thin film tape 2011 by being guided along the outer side of the guide member 2021 after being exposed outside the placement portion 2020 and guided so that the ink application surface and the print surface of the thin film tape 2011 overlap each other. It is separated from the surface and wound on the ribbon take-up spool 2016.

  On the other hand, the application tape 2013 has a weak pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a weak pressure-sensitive adhesive with a thickness of about 25 μm on one side of the handling auxiliary film made of “PET sheet”. The application tape 2013 is wound around the tape spool 2012 with the handling auxiliary film side facing outside. The application tape 2013 wound in this way is coated with a weak adhesive layer by a feed roller 2022. By being guided so that the surface and the printing surface of the thin film tape 2011 are overlapped, the thin film tape 2011 is attached and discharged from the tape discharge unit 2004 to the outside of the printing cassette 2001. Therefore, the printing surface of the thin film tape 2011 is also a surface to which the weak adhesive layer of the application tape 2013 is attached.

  As a result, the print tape 2005 constituted by the thin film tape 2011 and the application tape 2013 is discharged from the tape discharge unit 2004 of the print cassette 2001. FIG. 99 shows an outline of a process in which the application tape 2013, the thin film tape 2011, and the ink ribbon 2006 are guided on the lower cassette case 2003 as described above.

  FIG. 96 shows a cross-sectional view of the printing tape 2005 taken along line EE of FIG. As shown in FIG. 96, the printing tape 2005 is composed of a thin film tape 2011 and an application tape 2013. In this respect, as described above, the application tape 2013 has a weak adhesive layer 2052 formed by applying a weak adhesive with a thickness of about 25 μm on one side of the handling auxiliary film 2051 made of a PET sheet. . In addition, as described above, the adhesive layer 2033 is applied to the thin film tape 2011 by applying the adhesive with a thickness of about 16 μm to the other surface side of the thin film base film 2031 made of a urethane sheet of 10 to 15 μm. In addition, a release sheet 2034 is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2033. Then, the printing surface 2011A of the thin film tape 2011 to which the ink 2041 is adhered and the weak adhesive layer 2052 are overlapped, whereby the thin film tape 2011 is attached to the application tape 2013, thereby forming the printing tape 2005. Therefore, the printing surface 2011A of the thin film tape 2011 is also a surface to which the weak adhesive layer 2052 of the application tape 2013 is attached.

  Further, the printing tape 2005 can be attached to the adherend by the application surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2033 exposed by peeling off the release sheet 2034. Thereafter, when the application tape 2013 is slowly peeled off, the thin film base film 2031 can be attached to the adherend 2061 via the adhesive layer 2033 together with the ink 2041 thermally transferred onto the printing surface 2011A as shown in FIG. it can.

  However, as described above, in order to attach the thin film base film 2031 on which the ink 2041 is thermally transferred onto the printing surface 2011A to the application tape 2013, an acrylic or a weak adhesive as the weak adhesive layer 2052 is formed. The main component is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as rubber or silicone, and various additives (for example, crosslinking agents, tackifiers, softeners, stabilizers, pigments, etc.) It does not matter whether or not it is blended, but since it is a part that is temporarily affixed and finally peeled off, one with weak adhesive strength is used.

  On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2033 is mainly composed of a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing any monomer such as acrylic, rubber-based, or silicone-based, and various additives ( For example, whether or not a crosslinking agent, a tackifier, a softening agent, a stabilizer, a pigment, and the like are blended may be used, but those having an adhesive strength according to the adherend 2061 are used.

  The printing cassette 2001 is set in a cassette mounting portion of a tape printing device (not shown) to produce the printing tape 2005. The cassette mounting portion of the tape printing device includes a discharge portion of the printing cassette 2001. A cutter device (having a cutting blade) (not shown) for cutting the printing tape 2005 discharged from 2004 is disposed. Since the configuration of the printing cassette 2001 described with reference to FIG. 97 and the like and the configuration of the tape printing apparatus in which the printing cassette 2001 is mounted to produce the printing tape 2005 are known, the printing cassette 2001 and the tape A detailed description of manufacturing the printing tape 2005 by the printing apparatus is omitted.

Next, handling of the printing tape 2005 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the print tape 2005 discharged from the discharge portion 2004 of the printing cassette 2001 of the fifth embodiment mounted on the cassette mounting portion of the tape printer (not shown) is cut by the cutter device of the tape printer (not shown), For example, as shown in FIG. 101 (a), it is composed of a thin film tape 2011 (thin film base film 2031 / adhesive layer 2033 / release sheet 2034) and an application tape 2013 (handling auxiliary film 2051 / weak adhesive layer 2052). A strip-shaped printing tape 2005 is manufactured. And as shown in FIG.101 (b), the peeling sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011 is peeled, and the adhesive layer 2033 of the thin film tape 2011 is exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 101 (c), the adhesive layer 2033 of the thin film tape 2011 is attached to the adherend 2061.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 101 (d), the handling auxiliary film 2051 is slowly peeled off from the adherend 2061. At this time, the weak adhesive layer 2052 is peeled off together with the handling auxiliary film 2051, so that only the application tape 2013 can be peeled off. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 101 (e), the thin film base film 2031 on which the ink 2041 is thermally transferred is formed. The adhesive layer 2033 is attached to the adherend 2061. The ink 2041 is heat-transferred from the ink ribbon 2006 (see FIG. 98, etc.) to the printing surface 2011A (see FIG. 96, etc.) of the thin film tape 2011 (thin film base film 2031) by a tape printer (not shown). .

As described above in detail, the printing cassette 2001 according to the fifth embodiment is mounted on a cassette mounting portion of a tape printing apparatus (not shown) to discharge the printing tape 2005 from the tape printing apparatus (not shown). Is possible.
And about the printing tape 2005 discharged | emitted from the tape printing apparatus not shown, after cutting | disconnecting with the cutter apparatus of a tape printing apparatus not shown, the peeling sheet 2034 is peeled from the thin film tape 2011 affixed on the application tape 2013 ( When the adhesive tape 2033 of the exposed thin film tape 2011 is adhered to the adherend 2061 (see FIG. 101 (c)), the application tape 2013 is slowly peeled off (see FIG. 101 (b)). d)), the thin film base film 2031 remains on the adherend 2061 together with the ink 2041, and as shown in FIG. 100, the thin film base film is exposed on one side where the printing surface 2011A on which the ink 2041 is thermally transferred exists. 2031 is attached to the adherend 2061 through the adhesive layer 2033. Because it is, it can be stuck to "non laminated tape" to the adherend 2061 (see Fig. 101 (e)).

  Further, the thin film base film 2031 has the form of a thin film tape 2011 formed by being attached to the release sheet 2034 via the adhesive layer 2033 (see FIG. 96), and as shown in FIG. 98, the fifth embodiment From the state of being wound around the film spool 2014 in the printing cassette 2001 to the state of the application tape 2013 and the printing tape 2005 attached via the weak adhesive layer 2052, the tape is discharged from the tape discharge unit 2004. For this reason, even if the thin film base film 2031 is thin, it is possible to ensure the running performance in the printing cassette 2001 of the fifth embodiment.

In addition, when bonding to the adherend 2061, as shown in FIGS. 101A and 101B, the application tape 2013 is attached to the thin film tape 2011, and at least depending on the thickness of the application tape 2013. Since a certain state can be secured, no matter how thin the thin film base film 2031 constituting the “non-laminate tape” is, it is easy to apply the “non-laminate tape” to the adherend 2061 as shown in FIG.
In this regard, when the adhesion surface of the adherend 2061 is a curved surface, the application tape 2013 should be made thin and extendable in order to adhere to the curved surface. In consideration of ensuring the above, it is desirable that the thickness of the application tape 2013 is about 30 to 50 μm.

  Further, when the thin film base film 2031 is attached to the adherend 2061 through the adhesive layer 2033, the total thickness of the thin film base film 2031 and the adhesive layer 2033 is as thin as about 26 to 31 μm. If the film 2031 is colorless and transparent, it is difficult to confirm its outline, and the ink 2041 (print contents) on the thin film base film 2031 can be made conspicuous. Further, since the total weight of the thin film base film 2031 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2033 is also light, even if the adherend 2061 is a rotating object such as a CD or a DVD, the rotation balance is not adversely affected.

  Even when the thin film base film 2031 is 10-15 μm, the thin film base film 2031 is not peeled off gradually from the curved surface portion of the adherend 2061 even when attached to the curved surface portion of the adherend 2061.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, with respect to the printing tape 2005 manufactured by a tape printing apparatus (not shown) using the printing cassette 2001 of the fifth embodiment, the width of the application tape 2013 is reduced as shown in the plan view of FIG. It may be larger than the width of the tape 2011. Further, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 104, the width of the application tape 2013 may be smaller than the width of the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011. In this case, as shown in the plan view of FIG. The width of the thin film base film 2031 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2033 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 2011 may be smaller than the width of the application tape 2013. In these cases, since the width of the application tape 2013 and the width of the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011 are different from each other, the application tape 2013 and the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011 can be easily distinguished from each other. This is convenient when the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011 is peeled off.

In addition, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 105, even if the printing tape 2005 has the same width as the thin film tape 2011, the application tape 2013 has a handling auxiliary film 2051 (see FIG. 101 etc.) on the surface. If characters / patterns indicating that the application tape is printed in advance, the presence of the application tape 2013 is emphasized, which is convenient when the application tape 2013 is peeled off. At this time, if the upper and lower sides of the print tape 2005 are suggested by characters / patterns or the like pre-printed on the application tape 2013 (for example, characters of “application film” in FIG. 105), the print tape 2005 is attached to the adherend 2061 ( This is convenient when bonding to FIG.
That is, the invention having such a feature is a printing cassette, wherein the handling auxiliary film is pre-printed,
It is characterized by.

  In addition, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 106, if the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011 constituting the printing tape 2005 is half cut S11 in advance, it is convenient for peeling off the release sheet 2034 of the thin film tape 2011. . Further, similarly, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 107, if the application tape 2013 is preliminarily subjected to half-cut S12, it is convenient when the application tape 2013 is peeled off.

  In the printing tape 2005 manufactured by a tape printing apparatus (not shown) using the printing cassette 2001 of the fifth embodiment, if the application tape 2013 is colorless and transparent, the printing surface 2011A (see FIG. 96, etc.) can be visually recognized and the top and bottom of the print tape 2005 can be confirmed, which is convenient when the print tape 2005 is adhered to the adherend 2061. If the application tape 2013 is colored and transparent, the presence of the application tape 2013 can be visually recognized in addition to the ink 2041 thermally transferred to the printing surface 2011A (see FIG. 96, etc.) of the thin film tape 2011. This is convenient when 2005 is adhered to the adherend 2061 or when the application tape 2013 is peeled off.

  The present invention can be applied to a manufacturing technique of a printing tape or a printing cassette using a thin print medium.
