Description

  The present invention is provided in a tack seal labeler that unwinds a release paper wound in a roll shape and attaches a tack seal supported by the release paper to a container, and winds the release paper after the tack seal has been applied. The present invention relates to a roller that is hung and guided.

There is known an apparatus for attaching a tack seal for display of a trade name, description, etc. and various campaigns to a can filled with a beverage (for example, see Patent Document 1). The release paper that supports the tack seal is wound into a roll, which is unwound and affixed to the can. The release paper after the tack seal is pasted is taken up and collected by the take-up device while being guided by the guide roller. Since a little sticky glue remains on the release paper, it adheres to the guide roller and causes a problem. As a technique for preventing the contamination of the roller, for example, a paper feed roller covered with a cylindrical fabric (see Patent Document 2), or a non-roll material comprising a silicon-based hard film forming material and a flexible resin on the roll surface. One having an adhesive antifouling layer (see Patent Document 3) is known.

  When the cylindrical cloth is coated on the roller, since it is cylindrical, it takes time to cover or remove it. Further, even when a non-adhesive antifouling layer is provided, it is difficult to completely prevent the tack seal from adhering to the glue, and it is necessary to clean the roller to which the glue has adhered.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a roller for a tack seal labeler that has a simple configuration and can be easily restored even if it is contaminated.

  The roller for the tack seal labeler of the present invention is a tack seal labeler for unwinding the release paper (4) wound in a roll shape and sticking the tack seal (2) supported on the release paper to the container (3). 1), and a tack seal label roller (16a to 16g) for winding and guiding the release paper after the tack seal is affixed to the guide surface (A) of the roller. A protective member (21) that protects the area (B) around which the release paper is wound is provided, and the protective member is in a sheet shape in which an adhesive is attached to one surface, and the adhesive is placed in the area via the adhesive. The said subject is solved by being wound.

  According to the roller for the tack seal labeler of the present invention, the protection member provided on the roller that guides the release paper protects the area around which the release paper is wound. The glue that adheres to the tack seal may remain on the release paper after the tack seal has been applied to the container, but the glue will adhere to the protective member. Since the protective member is affixed to the roller with an adhesive, if it is contaminated with glue from the tack seal, the adhesive is adhered to the roller simply by peeling off the protective member and applying a new protective member. Can be restored to no state.

  One form of the roller of this invention WHEREIN: The color of the said protection member may differ from the said guide surface. According to this aspect, since the color of the protective member is different, the protective member is a measure of an appropriate position for winding the release paper around the roller. Thereby, at the time of operation | movement of a tack seal labeler, an operator can judge whether an operation state is favorable visually.

  In a form in which the colors of the protective member and the guide surface of the roller are different, the width of the protective member may be the same as the width of the release paper. According to this aspect, when the release paper is displaced from the protective member, the operator can find out immediately, and the problem can be prevented beforehand.

  In addition, in the above description, in order to make an understanding of this invention easy, the reference sign of the accompanying drawing was attached in parenthesis, but this invention is not limited to the form of illustration by it.

  As described above, in the roller for the tack seal labeler of the present invention, the protective member provided on the roller for guiding the release paper protects the area around which the release paper is wound. The glue that adheres to the tack seal may remain on the release paper after the tack seal has been applied to the container, but the glue will adhere to the protective member. Since the protective member is affixed to the roller with an adhesive, if it is contaminated with glue from the tack seal, the adhesive is adhered to the roller simply by peeling off the protective member and applying a new protective member. Can be restored to no state. Compared with the cleaning operation, there is no possibility that the glue will remain on the roller, so that problems such as tearing of the release paper and poor winding due to the glue remaining do not occur.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a tack seal labeler to which a roller according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The tack seal labeler 1 is a device for attaching the tack seal 2 to the container 3. The tack seal 2 is a seal made of paper, film, or the like with glue attached to the back surface, and a plurality of tack seals 2 are supported at equal intervals so as to be peelable from the release paper 4. The container 3 is conveyed by the conveyor 5 to the sticking position P of the tack seal 2. The container 3 is a can, a bowl, a plastic bottle or the like filled with a beverage. The conveyor 5 sequentially conveys the containers 3 in a state where they are arranged in a line. The conveyor 5 may be configured using a known technique.

  The tack seal labeler 1 presses the unwinding device 11 that unwinds the release paper 4, the protruding guide 12 that protrudes toward the conveyor 5 and affixes the tack seal 2 to the container 3, and the tack seal 2 affixed to the container 3. A pressing member 13 that is fixed in place, a winding device 14 that winds up the release paper 4 after the tack seal 2 is pasted, and a plurality of guides that are provided between the unwinding device 11 and the protruding guide 12 to guide the release paper 4 Guide rollers 15a to 15e, and a plurality of guide rollers 16a to 16g provided between the protruding guide 12 and the winding device 14 as rollers for guiding the release paper 4 are provided. The unwinding device 11 unwinds the release paper 4 wound in a roll shape. The release paper 4 holds the tack seal 2 in a tape-like state arranged in a line.

  The protruding guide 12 is a guide having a tip formed at an acute angle, around which the release paper 4 is wound. When the release paper 4 passes through the tip of the protruding guide 12, the release paper 4 is bent until the tack seal 2 has a small radius of curvature that cannot follow the shape of the release paper 4. It peels from the front side with respect to the moving direction and is stuck on the side surface of the container 3 at the sticking position P. The pressing member 13 is configured to press the surface of the tack seal 2 attached to the side surface of the container 3 conveyed by the conveyor 5. Even when the tack seal 2 is partly attached to the container 3 in an unstable state, the tack seal 2 is pressed by the pressing member 13 and fixed to the container 2.

  The release paper 4 after the sticking of the tack seal 2 is taken up by the take-up device 14. In addition, you may comprise the unwinding apparatus 11 and the winding apparatus 14 using a well-known technique. The guide rollers 15 a to 15 e are appropriately installed between the unwinding device 11 and the protruding guide 12 and adjust the tension of the release paper 4. The guide rollers 16a to 16g are appropriately installed between the protruding guide 12 and the winding device 14, and adjust the tension of the release paper 4 in the same manner as the guide rollers 15a to 15e. The number of guide rollers 15a to 15e and 16a to 16g may be appropriately increased or decreased according to the apparatus, and the route for guiding the release paper 4 may be changed as appropriate.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the guide rollers 16c to 16g. On the guide surface A of each of the guide rollers 16a to 16g, a protection member 21 that protects the region B around which the release paper 4 is wound is provided. The protection member 21 is a sheet formed of paper, a film, or the like, and an adhesive is attached to one surface. The protective member 21 is attached to the guide surface A so as to cover the entire area B of the guide roller. The region B is an appropriate region in which the release paper 4 is wound around the guide surface A, and may include a slight fluctuation width due to normal operation.

  The guide rollers 16 a to 16 g are rollers that guide the release paper 4 that does not hold the tack seal 2 after the tack seal 2 is attached to the container 3 by the protruding guide 12. For this reason, the adhesive of the tack seal 2 remaining on the release paper 4 may adhere to the region B of the guide rollers 16a to 16g. When this glue adheres to the guide rollers 16a to 16g, the lubricity with the release paper 4 with respect to the guide rollers 16a to 16g deteriorates, the release paper 5 is torn, the winding device 14 is poorly wound, and the tack seal 2 It causes a sticking failure of the. If the protection member 21 is provided, the glue of the tack seal 2 adheres to the protection member 21. Therefore, when the adhesive adheres to the protective member 21, the protective member 21 is simply peeled off and a new protective member 21 is attached to the region B, so that the guide rollers 16a to 16g can be easily put in a state where the adhesive is not attached. Can be restored. In addition, as the protective member 21, a commercially available paper tape having an adhesive attached to the back surface can be used. Further, the guide rollers 16a to 16g and the protection member 21 may have different colors. In this case, the protective member 21 serves as a guideline of an appropriate position for winding the release paper 4 on the guide surface A, and when the tack seal labeler 1 is operated, the operator can determine whether or not the operating state is good visually. .

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form and can be implemented in various forms. For example, in this embodiment, the protection member 21 is provided in each region B of the guide surface A of the guide rollers 16a to 16g. However, the protection member 21 may be provided over the entire guide surface A. Since at least the region B only needs to be protected, the protection region may be appropriately changed according to the width of the protection member 21 and the widths of the guide rollers 16a to 16g. Alternatively, the width of the protective member 21 may be the same as the width of the release paper 4. In this embodiment, the protection member 21 is provided on all the guide rollers 16a to 16g. However, the protection member 21 is not limited to this, and the guide rollers 16a, 16c, 16d, and 16f with which the tack seal holding surface of the release paper 4 comes into contact are provided. It may be provided. Moreover, you may provide the protection member 21 in the guide rollers 15a-15e. This is because changing the color of the guide surfaces of the guide rollers 15a to 15e and the protection member 21 can be a measure of an appropriate position where the release paper 4 is wound.
