Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label sheet in which a plurality of labels such as a cloth label attached to clothes to be cleaned and a cloth label attached to a rental uniform are formed on a sheet substrate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the business of lending costumes such as the cleaning business and uniform rental, it is necessary to associate predetermined information with each piece of clothing subject to the business due to management reasons. As a method for doing this, conventionally, predetermined information is printed on the surface of a cloth label in the form of letters, numbers, bar codes, etc., and the cloth label is sewn to clothes with a sewing machine (fixing with a sewing machine) or the cloth label. There was a method of sticking it to clothes with the hot melt agent applied to the back surface of the.

[0003]

In the above method, since it is necessary for the user (cleaning company, renting clothes manufacturer) to print the information on the cloth label, the user conventionally corresponds to a large number of labels. I purchased a continuous strip-shaped cloth sheet (plain sheet) and printed information for multiple labels on it with a printer. Therefore, when using the printed label, it was necessary to separate the cloth labels one by one from the strip-shaped cloth sheet. In addition, it may be necessary to cut the cloth sheet in a curved shape, such as rounding the corners of the cloth label attached to the clothes to make it difficult to peel off, but the user cuts it in a curved shape. It's not easy.

On the other hand, a large number of pre-cut labels such as tack seals are attached to one backing sheet with a weak adhesive applied to the back surface of the label, and are required from the backing sheet when using. A possible method is to remove the label. However, if such a method is applied to the above-mentioned cloth label as it is, the problem that the weak adhesive dissolves in the dry cleaning solvent when the clothes with the cloth label are subjected to a cleaning treatment, or the backside is hot In the case of a cloth label coated with a melt agent, a weak adhesive is applied on top of the hot melt agent, which causes a problem that the hot melt agent does not function effectively when the cloth label is attached to clothes. is there.

Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and a plurality of pre-cut labels are attached on a sheet-shaped base material which plays a role of a mount, and the user can label the label as needed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a label sheet that can be used by peeling off a sheet-like base material.

[0006]

A first label sheet for achieving the above object is a sheet-like base material, a sheet-like label material in which notches are formed to form a plurality of labels, and a sheet-like base material. A pressure-sensitive adhesive that is applied to a sheet-shaped base material and a sheet-shaped label material and has a smaller adhesive force to the sheet-shaped label material than both cohesive force and anchoring force to the sheet-shaped base material. And are configured to have.

A second label sheet for achieving the above object is composed of a sheet-like label material and a sheet-like base material coated with a weak adhesive, and the back surface of the sheet-like label material and the sheet. The surface of the sheet-shaped base material to which the weak adhesive is applied is pasted with the weak adhesive, and only the sheet-shaped label material is die-cut into a predetermined shape to form a label of the shape on the sheet-shaped base material. It is characterized in that a plurality of them are formed.

[0008]

In the first label sheet described above, the sheet-shaped label material is attached to the sheet-shaped base material by the adhesive applied to the sheet-shaped base material and cut into individual labels. Therefore, the user can peel off the necessary label from the sheet-shaped substrate after printing different information for each label in a sheet state. At this time, since the adhesive force to the sheet-shaped label material is smaller than both the cohesive force of the adhesive and the anchoring force to the sheet-shaped substrate, the adhesive does not adhere to the back surface of the peeled label, Remain on the sheet substrate. The peeled label is fixed to the clothes by a sewing machine before use. Instead of using a sewing machine, a heat-sensitive adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive may be applied to the back surface of the sheet-shaped label material in advance, and the label may be attached to clothes or the like by applying heat or pressure. In this case, the back surface of the sheet-like label material does not have adhesiveness unless heat or pressure is applied, and the sheet-like label material is attached to the sheet-like base material by the adhesive material applied to the sheet-like base material as described above. Attached.

In the second label sheet, the sheet-like label material is attached to the sheet-like base material by the weak adhesive applied to the sheet-like base material and die-cut for each label. Therefore, after printing different information for each label in a sheet state, the user can peel off the necessary label from the sheet-shaped base material and fix it to clothes or the like with a sewing machine. Also, instead of stopping the sewing machine, as described above,
It is also possible to apply a heat-sensitive adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive to the back surface of the sheet-like label material in advance and apply heat or pressure to attach the label to clothes or the like. In this case, the back surface of the sheet-like label material does not have adhesiveness unless heat or pressure is applied, and the sheet-like label material is, like the above, attached to the sheet-like base material by the weak adhesive material applied to the sheet-like base material. It can be pasted.

The label sheet of the present invention is formed into a strip shape,
If a large number of labels are formed on it, the handling becomes easy at the time of continuous printing of a large number of labels.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “first
Top view of a cloth label sheet (referred to as “Example”) (a)
FIG. 4B is a sectional view of FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the cloth label sheet of this example has a continuous strip shape,
Basically, the cloth sheet 10 and the sheet-shaped base material 20 are bonded together. Here, the cloth sheet 10 is a sheet-shaped label material made of cloth, and cuts 16 corresponding to the shape of the cloth label are formed by die cutting. Then, at the time of use, the necessary cloth label 12 can be easily peeled off from the sheet-shaped substrate 20. This point will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 showing the details of the cross-sectional structure of the present cloth label sheet.

The cloth label 12 in this embodiment is used by being attached to clothes or the like with a hot melt agent.
As shown in, the hot melt agent 14 is applied to the back surface of the cloth sheet 10. Since the hot melt agent 14 does not have adhesiveness at room temperature, the cloth sheet 10 is used as the sheet base material 2
A separate adhesive is required to bond with 0. However, since the cloth label 12 must be easily peeled off from the sheet-shaped substrate 20 during use, it is preferable to use a weak adhesive as the adhesive for this bonding. In the conventional tack seal, this weak adhesive is applied to the seal side (corresponding to the cloth sheet 10 side here). However, when the weak adhesive is applied to the cloth sheet 10 side in the present cloth label sheet, the hot melt agent is applied to the back surface of the cloth label 12 and further the weak adhesive is applied. There is a problem that the hot melt agent 14 does not function effectively when it is attached to clothes or the like. Therefore, in this embodiment, the weak adhesive 22 is applied to the sheet-shaped substrate 20 side.
The cloth sheet 10 and the sheet-shaped substrate 2
0 and pasted together. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the cloth label 12 is peeled off by bending the cloth label sheet at the time of use, the weak adhesive 22 becomes the sheet-shaped base material 2.
Only the hot melt agent 14 remains on the back surface of the peeled cloth label 12 remaining on the 0 side. Therefore, the hot melt agent 14 effectively functions when the cloth label 12 is attached to clothes or the like.

In the above, the weak adhesive 22 is left on the sheet-like base material 20 side when the cloth label 12 is peeled off,
It must be firmly adhered to the sheet-shaped substrate 20. In this embodiment, the primer 21 is applied before applying the weak adhesive 22 to the sheet-shaped substrate 20 in order to firmly bond the weak adhesive 22 (see FIG. 2). Further, the back surface of the cloth sheet 10 needs to be smooth so that the weak adhesive does not adhere (transfer) to the back surface of the cloth label 12 when the cloth label 12 is peeled off. 1
It is smoothed by the hot melt agent 14 applied to the back surface of No. 0.

According to the cloth label sheet having the above structure, the cloth label 12 can be easily peeled off from the cloth label sheet, so that the user does not need to separate the cloth labels one by one as in the conventional case. Since the shape of the cloth label 12 is determined by die cutting at the time of manufacturing the cloth label sheet, the corners of the cloth label are rounded or the shape of the cloth label is changed to prevent the cloth label attached to clothes or the like from coming off easily. It is also possible to devise the design (for example, to form an elliptical shape or a heart shape).

By the way, in the case of the tack seal, the sheet-shaped base material is coated with silicon, which prevents a cut from entering the base material when the seal is die-cut. However, in the present cloth label sheet, since the weak adhesive is applied to the sheet-like base material 20, silicon cannot be applied to the sheet-like base material 20. Also, the cloth sheet 10
Is harder to cut than paper. For this reason, if it is attempted to reliably cut the cloth sheet 10 by die cutting when manufacturing the present cloth label sheet, a cut may be made even in the sheet-shaped base material 20, and the sheet-shaped base material 20 may be cut out. Therefore, in the present cloth label sheet, when paper or the like is used as the material of the sheet-shaped base material 20, it is preferable to make the sheet-shaped base material 20 thicker than in the case of the tack seal. Further, when the cloth label is not applied to the cloth sheet 10 as described above and the cloth label is fixed to the clothes by the sewing machine, since the layer of the hot melt agent 14 does not exist under the cloth sheet 10, It is easier to make cuts in the substrate during die cutting than in the example. Therefore, in such a case, it is desirable to use polyester or the like, which is difficult to make a cut, as the material of the sheet-shaped substrate 20.

As described above, before applying such a cloth label to clothes or the like, the user needs to print predetermined information on the cloth label in the form of characters, numbers, bar codes or the like. That is, the user purchases a plain cloth label sheet having the structure shown in FIG. 1, prints predetermined information necessary for use on each label 12 of the cloth label sheet with a printer, and thereafter, Then, the cloth label 12 is peeled off and attached to clothes or the like. Since this cloth label sheet has a continuous strip shape as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to easily print on a plurality of cloth labels 12. However, in order to print on each cloth label 12 correctly, It is necessary to align the label sheet. In order to facilitate this alignment, it is desirable to print pitch marks on the cloth label sheet. This pitch mark is printed on the back or front of the cloth label sheet according to the position of the sensor of the printer that prints on the cloth label 12.

When the cloth label sheet is folded as shown in FIG. 2, the edge of the cloth label 12 is separated from the sheet-like substrate 20, and the cloth label 12 can be easily peeled from the cloth label sheet without using scissors or a cutter. You can When the cloth label 12 is peeled off, the weak adhesive 22 is applied to the sheet-shaped substrate 2
The weak adhesive 22 does not adhere to the hot melt agent 14 on the back surface of the cloth label 12 on the 0 side. This cloth label 12
Is placed on clothes or the like and pressed from above while performing appropriate heating, the hot-melt agent 14 on the back surface is melted, whereby the cloth label 12 is attached to the clothes or the like.

Next, a cloth label sheet shown in FIG. 3 will be described as a second embodiment of the present invention. The sheet-like label material of this cloth label sheet is a cloth sheet 210 made of cloth as in the above embodiment, but an adhesive such as a hot melt agent is not applied to the back surface of the cloth sheet 210, The cloth label 212 peeled off from the sheet-shaped base material 220 is fixed to a clothing or the like with a sewing machine. When the hot melt agent or the like is not applied to the back surface of the cloth sheet 210, it is easy to make a cut in the base material at the time of die cutting. For this reason, in this embodiment, as the material of the sheet-shaped base material 220, a polyester that does not easily cut is used. However, when polyester is used as the material of the sheet-shaped base material, it is difficult to print the pitch mark on the back side of the cloth label sheet in advance, so the pitch mark is detected from the back side of the cloth label sheet. In a printer provided with a sensor, accurate alignment cannot be performed during printing. For this reason, in the present embodiment, perforations 218 as shown in FIG. 3 are provided as pitch marks for alignment when printing on the cloth label 212. The point that the primer 221 is used to firmly bond the weak adhesive 222 to the sheet-shaped substrate (polyester sheet) 220 is the same as in the above-described embodiment.

In the case of the tack seal, it is often sold in a state where the seal corresponding to the margin (the portion other than the cloth label 12 in the cloth sheet 10) 11 in the first embodiment is removed. In both the first and second embodiments, the margins 11 and 211 are left without being removed. By removing the margins 11 and 211, when the printer prints on the fabric labels 12 and 212, the weak adhesives 222 and 222 applied to the sheet-shaped substrates 20 and 220 cause the printer ribbon to move to the sheet-shaped base. This is because it becomes impossible to smoothly print by sticking to the material.

A cloth label sheet shown in FIG. 4 will be described as a third embodiment of the present invention. In this label sheet, the release agent 315 is applied to the back surface of the cloth sheet 310. Further, the notch 316 for forming the cloth label 312 is made by a slitter. The other points are similar to those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. Release agent 31
Since a peeling layer (such as a silicon layer or a microporous layer) is formed on the back surface of the cloth sheet 310 by applying No. 5, when the cloth label 312 is peeled from the sheet-shaped substrate 320,
The weak adhesive 322 is prevented from adhering to the cloth label 312. In this embodiment as well, the primer 321 is applied to the sheet-shaped substrate 320 in order to firmly bond the weak adhesive 322 to the sheet-shaped substrate 320. Thus, the release layer is formed on the back surface of the cloth sheet 310. Therefore, the configuration without using the primer 321 is also possible. Further, in this embodiment, since the slit 316 is formed by the slitter, the slit becomes linear, and the corner of the cloth label 312 cannot be rounded as shown in FIG. The manufacturing cost can be reduced. In this embodiment, the cloth sheet 310 has no margin, and the pitch mark 324 is printed on the back surface of the sheet-shaped substrate 320.

A cloth label sheet shown in FIG. 5 will be described as a fourth embodiment of the present invention. This label sheet is used for making a race number, and its basic configuration is the same as that of the third embodiment. This embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that, as shown in FIG. 5A, in addition to the cut 416A similar to the cut 316 in the third embodiment, a cut 416B is made in the longitudinal direction as well. As shown in (b), the edge of each cloth label (see FIG.
This is the point where the tear-off portion 433 is provided at the right end in (b). A cloth label is formed by making a pair of the large label 431 and the small label 432 by the notch 416B in the longitudinal direction. The large label 431 is a front and rear number attached to the chest and back of the athlete, and the small label 432 is the waist of the athlete. It is used as a side number attached to the side of each.

The tear-off portion 433 is a portion on which information about the athlete is printed in the form of a bar code or the like, and is used for management of the competition results after being separated from the race bib (large label 431) after the competition. When the label material is paper, the tear-off portion 433 may be formed by a normal perforation, but in the official competition, the race bib must be made of cloth, and in the case of a cloth label, the normal perforation is made. It is difficult to tear it off even if you put it in. Therefore, in the cloth label sheet of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the tear-off portion 433 is formed by hyphen cutting. This hyphen cut is also a type of perforation, and the score line is not continuously cut and there is an uncut section, but unlike the normal perforation, the hyphen cut is cut. The length of the non-existing section is sufficiently shorter than the cut section. In this embodiment, in order to easily tear off the tear-off portion 433, in forming the tear-off portion 433, the hyphen cut is used, and further the following measures are taken. That is, as shown in FIG. 5B, the uncut section Uc is prevented from coming to the label end (the right end in FIG. 5B), and the label section (right end) has a cut section of a predetermined length. Ca is provided. Further, the uncut section Uc is prevented from coming to the corner portion of the score line, and a cut section Cr having a predetermined length is provided at the corner portion. The length of the uncut section Uc is set according to the material of the sheet-shaped label material. When the tear-off portion 433 is formed in this manner, a notch is made at the label end (right end) that is the starting point of the “tearing”, and a notch is also made at the corner where the direction of the “tearing” changes. Therefore, the tearing portion 344 can be easily torn from the number (large label 431) by hand without using scissors or a cutter.

To make a competition number using the cloth label sheet having the above-described structure, first, a number is printed on each label in the cloth label sheet by a printer. 6A and 6B are views showing printing on each label by the thermal transfer printer, FIG. 6A is a plan view, and FIG. 6B is a side view. As shown in this figure, the cloth label sheet 40
The cloth label sheets 400 are sequentially sent to the printer 40 from the roll wound with 0. In order to smoothly feed the sheet to be printed into or out of the printer, it is necessary that the sheet has a certain thickness so that the sheet does not roll up. Since the materials 420 are pasted together, the thickness can be set to an appropriate thickness, and smooth feeding and feeding can be performed. Further, a pitch mark 424 is printed on the back surface of the cloth label sheet 400 (see FIG. 5C), and this is detected by a sensor (not shown) in the printer 40 to perform the alignment. Aligned cloth label sheet 40
On each label of 0, multi-color printing is performed by a plurality of color ink ribbons 42 in the thermal head 43. That is, the number number is printed in black on the large label 431, information about the athletes using the number is printed in black on the tear-off portion 433 in the form of a bar code, and the competition name is The sponsor name is printed in red and the sponsor name is printed in blue. The small label 432 includes
Only the bib number is printed in black. The large and small labels 431 and 432 printed in this way are shown in FIG.
The sheet-shaped substrate 42 is bent by bending as shown in FIG.
Stripped from 0, the large label 431 is used as a front and rear bib and the small label 432 is used as a side bib and attached to the athlete. In this embodiment, the cloth sheet 41
Since an adhesive such as a hot-melting agent is not applied to the back surface of 0, a zem pin or a string attached to the number in advance is used to attach the number to the athlete. After the end of the competition, the tear-off portion 433 is separated from the front-rear bib number 431, and the competition results are managed using the bar code or the like printed on this.

As described above, when the cloth label sheet of this embodiment is used, a bib can be made very easily.
If a computer and a printer 40 for managing information about the athletes are prepared, it is possible to issue a bib at the competition site. Further, by using the tear-off portion 433 on which a barcode or the like is printed, it is possible to efficiently manage the competition results.

Although a cloth sheet is used as the sheet-like label material in each of the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to this, and a sheet of paper, plastic, or the like may be used. However, a cloth label is suitable as a label to be used in a process using water or hot water such as a cleaning process or a dyeing process for kimono clothes and to be attached to a foldable object such as clothes.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of labels cut into a predetermined shape are formed on a sheet-like base material, and they are easily sheeted as needed during use. It can be peeled off from the base material. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to separate the labels one by one from the continuous strip-shaped label material as in the conventional case. Also,
The shape of the label is not determined by how the sheet-shaped label material is cut during use, but is determined by die cutting, slitting, or the like when manufacturing the label sheet. When die-cut is adopted, the corners of the label are rounded or the shape of the label is designed to make it difficult to peel off the label attached to clothes, etc. (for example, elliptical shape or heart shape). It becomes possible to shape it.

The label sheet of the present invention is formed into a strip shape,
If a large number of labels are formed on it, the handling becomes easy at the time of continuous printing of a large number of labels.
