Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a label manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly to a label manufacturing apparatus that forms labels of a predetermined shape by cutting out, for example, a continuous label temporarily adhered onto a release paper.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in order to cut out a label continuous body on release paper to form a label in a predetermined shape, a label shaped blade is moved vertically and the blade is pressed against the label continuous body to punch out the label. Was.

In addition, a continuous label is passed under a label-shaped blade, and a roller arranged parallel to the direction of the blade is moved to press the continuous label against the blade and cut out to form a label.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when moving the blade in the vertical direction to punch out a continuous label body, the blade body is pressed against the continuous label body at the same time, so the pressure per unit volume applied to the continuous label body is becomes smaller. Therefore, it may not be possible to successfully punch out the label continuous body.

In addition, when cutting out a continuous label by moving a roller arranged parallel to the direction of the blade, the blade contacts the continuous label in a straight line in the part where the roller and the blade are parallel.
The pressure per unit volume applied to the label continuum is small. Therefore, it may not be possible to cut through the label continuum well in this part.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a label manufacturing apparatus that can completely cut out a label continuous body to produce a label of a predetermined shape.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a label manufacturing apparatus that cuts out a continuous label temporarily attached to a release paper to form a label of a predetermined shape, A blade for making a cut in the shape of a label on the body, a roller formed so that its axis intersects with the blade and faces the blade, and a roller for displacing the roller so that the label continuous body is pressed against the blade. and a displacement means.

(Function) Since the blade of the label manufacturing device and the roller are formed so as to intersect, when the continuous label body is pressed against the blade by the roller, the blade and the continuous label body come into contact at a point.

(Effects of the Invention) According to this invention, since the force of the blade applied to the label continuous body is concentrated at the contact point between the label continuous body and the blade, the pressure applied to the label continuous body is large. Complete cuts can be made, thereby allowing a label of a predetermined shape to be formed.

The above objects, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is an illustrative diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. A strip-shaped base material 12 is fed into this label manufacturing apparatus 10 . As shown in FIG. 2, the base material 12 includes a release paper 14 and a continuous label body 16 temporarily attached onto the release paper 14. The release paper 14 includes a belt-shaped sheet base material such as Paper 1 synthetic resin, and a release agent layer 14a is formed on the surface of the sheet base material by applying a release agent such as silicone. . Further, the label continuous body 16 includes a band-shaped sheet base material such as paper 9 synthetic resin, and an adhesive layer 16a is formed on the surface of the sheet base material. Then, the adhesive layer 16a of this continuous label body 16 is temporarily attached to the release agent layer 14a of the release paper 14. Characters, figures, etc. are printed on this continuous label body 16 by a printing machine (not shown).

The base material 12 is transferred to the anti-sag roller 20 via the guide roller 18. This loosening prevention roller 20 is formed to be movable in the vertical direction. The loosening prevention roller 20 is pulled downward by, for example, a spring (not shown). Therefore, even if the transfer amount of the base material 12 changes, it is pulled by the loosening prevention roller 20, thereby preventing the base material 12 from loosening.

Further, the base material 12 is transferred to a positioning roller 24 via a guide roller 22. This positioning roller 2
4 is formed to be movable in the vertical direction and fixed at any position.

By appropriately adjusting the position of this positioning roller 24, the label continuous body 16 can be
Characters, figures, etc. printed on the screen are positioned. Further, the base material 12 is transferred from the positioning roller 24 to the cutting device 30 via the nip roller 26 and feeder roller 28.
will be transferred to.

On the other hand, a holding reel 3 formed above the cutting device 30
A film base material 34 is pulled out from 2.

The film base material 34 is a film 3 as shown in FIG.
6 and a release paper 38. The film 36 is made of transparent synthetic resin or the like, and an adhesive layer 36a is formed on its surface. Then, the adhesive layer of the film 36 is temporarily attached to the release agent layer 38a of the release paper 38.

The film base material 34 pulled out from the holding reel 32 is
It is transferred via the guide roller 42 in the direction of the nip roller 26 and feeder roller 28 . At this time, the release paper 38 is wound onto the take-up reel 44 via the guide roller 42. Therefore, only the film 36 is transferred to the nip roller 26 and the feeder roller 28.

The base material 12 and the film 36 are sandwiched between the nip roller 26 and the feeder roller 28 .

Then, a film 36 is placed on the label continuous body 16 of the base material 12.
is pasted. Therefore, the characters and figures printed on the label continuous body 16 are protected by the film 36.

The base material 12 to which the film 36 is attached is cut out by the cutting device 30
It is transferred to nip rollers 46 and feeder rollers 48 through the nip rollers 46 and feeder rollers 48, respectively.

This cutting device 30 forms cuts in a predetermined shape in the label continuous body 16 and the film 36 on the release paper 14. This cut is formed in the shape of a rectangular label, for example, so as to surround the printed characters and figures. and,
As shown in FIG. 4, the release paper 14 and the rectangular cutout label are rolled up downward. Further, the continuous label body 16 and the unnecessary portion 49 of the film 36 are wound onto the take-up reel 52 via the guide roller 50. Therefore, this label manufacturing bag? If you use &10,
A plurality of labels are formed on a strip-shaped release paper 14 and covered with a transparent film 36.

Next, the cutting device 30 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 5, this cutting device 30 includes a blade 60 for cutting out the continuous label body 16 and the film 36 attached to the continuous label body 16 into a predetermined shape. This blade 60 is formed into a rectangular shape, for example. An elastic body 61 made of, for example, rubber is formed around the blade 60. The elastic body 61 is the blade 6
Formed to hide 0. This elastic body 61 serves to press the top surface of the film 36. The blade 60 is fixed by a fixing member 62. The fixing member 62 is then pressed downward by, for example, a spring (not shown). This spring is applied to the film 36 by a roller 64, which will be described later.
and for applying pressure when pressing the base material 12 against the blade 60.

A roller 64 for pressing the base material 12 against the blade 60 is formed below the blade 60. This roller 64 is supported by a support member 66. This support member 66 is the base 6
It is mounted on a guide rail 70 formed on 8. The support member 66 can slide on this guide rail 70. As shown in FIG. 6, the guide rail 70 is installed obliquely so as to intersect with the transport direction of the base material 12 to which the film 36 is attached. Therefore, the guide rail 70 is attached to cross the blade 60. Therefore, the axis of the roller 64 is also the same as that of the blade 60.

is rotatably mounted at one end. One end of an arm 78 is rotatably attached to the other end of the connecting member 74 via a shaft 76 . Further, the other end of the arm 78 is connected to the shaft 8
It is rotatably attached to the side surface of the base 68 via 0. Thus, by moving arm 78 about axis 80 , support member 66 slides on guide rail 70 . Another arm 84 is rotatably attached to the center of the arm 78 in the longitudinal direction via a shaft 82. Further, a disk 88 is attached to the other end of the arm 84 via a shaft 86. The center of the disk 88 is attached to a drive section (not shown) inside the base 68. As a drive part,
For example, a motor can be used. The disk 88 is rotated by a drive section. Correspondingly, the other end of arm 84 rotates, causing arm 78 to swing. By swinging the arm 78, the support member 66 is caused to reciprocate on the guide rail 70. Therefore, roller 64 is also reciprocated.

The base 12 to which the film 36 is attached is passed between the blade 60 and the roller 64. As the roller 64 reciprocates, the film 36 and the base 12 move toward the blade 60.
be forced to. At this time, the elastic body 61 is deformed and the blade 60 is exposed and pressed against the film 36 and the base material 12. A cut in the form of a blade 60 is thereby formed in the film 36 and in the label web 16.

Note that since the roller 64 is disposed so as to cross the blade 60, the film 36 and the continuous label body 16 contact the blade 60 at a point. Therefore, the force applied to the film 36 and the label continuous body 16 is not dispersed. Therefore, cuts can be reliably formed in the film 36 and the label continuous body 16.

Further, although the above-mentioned embodiment describes a square-shaped label, the label manufacturing apparatus 10 can also be applied to a curved-shaped label such as a circle. Even in this case, since the roller 64 crosses the blade 60, cuts can be reliably formed in the film 36 and the label continuous body 16.
