[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1A is an illustrative view showing a sticking device for a continuous label body which is an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a label continuum used in the example shown in FIG.

The elongated label continuum 10 used in the example shown in FIG. 1 is formed by continuously forming a plurality of labels 12 in a strip shape, and each label 12 is cut at the boundary between the labels 12 to form 1 label. Perforations 14 are provided between the labels 12 so that a label strip 10a is formed.
Are formed.

In the long label continuum 10, an adhesive layer 18 is formed on the back surface of a long label base material 16 forming the continuous label body 10, and a release agent layer is formed on the front surface side of the label base material 16. 20 is formed, and further on the surface side of the label substrate 16 and between the label substrate 16 and the release agent layer 20.
The printing layer 22 is formed on a part of the surface of the. Print layer 2
The labels 2 are formed so as to form the labels 12 by separating the boundaries of the labels 12 and intermittently at regular intervals between the labels 12. A thermosensitive coloring layer 24 is formed on the surface of the label base material 16 on the release agent layer 20 side.

The label continuum 10 is, as shown in FIG.
Before being cut and used, the label base material 16 is wound in a roll shape so that the release agent layer 20 side and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 18 face each other and are temporarily attached. In addition, the perforations 14 are formed over the entire area in the width direction of the label continuum 10, and are formed over the front surface of the release agent layer 20 and the back surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 18.

The label continuum 10 is wound in a roll shape, and an appropriate label continuum unwinding portion 3 constituting a cutting and feeding device 30 as a label continuum feeding means shown in FIG.
The roll-shaped label continuum 10 loaded in the unwinding unit 32 and unwound into the unwinding unit 32 is rewound, and the roller 36 constituting the first transfer unit of the cutting and feeding apparatus 30 is provided via the rollers 34a and 34b. Sent to the roller 3
The label continuum 10 whose direction has been changed in 6 is transported by the first feed roller 38 and the second feed roller 40 which constitute the first transport means.

Each of the rollers 34a, 34b and 36 is cylindrical and has a smooth surface.
The surface of the roller 34b in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 18 of No. 0 is siliconized, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 1 of the label continuum 10 is
8 is formed so as to be lightly adhered.

The first feed roller 38 and the second feed roller 40 are, as shown in FIGS.
Unlike 6, the support portion 38 has a sharp tip and a circular cross section.
a and 40a are continuously formed, and the supporting portion 38 thereof is formed.
Since the tips of a and 40a are formed relatively thin, the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 18 of the label continuum 10 causes the first
Even if the feed roller 38 and the second feed roller 40 come into contact with each other, they are not strongly adhered.

Above the second feed roller 40, the label continuum 10 is lightly adhered to the surface of the support portion 40a, which is the label contact surface of the second feed roller 40, so that it is relatively elastic or flexible. Rich pressing rollers 42 are formed so as to face each other, and the surface of the label continuum 10 is lightly pressed by the pressing roller 42 against the surface of the support portion 40a of the second feed roller 40. The pressing roller 42 and the roller 36 are fixed to the support frame by an arm, and can rotate upward together with the support frame about an axis.

The label continuum 10 sandwiched and fed by the second feed roller 40 and the pressure roller 42 is further separated in front of the label continuum 10 by an appropriate interval and is subjected to a peeling treatment by silicon processing or the like. The cylindrical roller 44 provided with is cut off, and is further fed forward by the roller 44.

A roller 44 for feeding the label continuum 10 further forward of the label continuous end 10 is formed in the vicinity of the second feed roller 40, and the first feed roller 38 constituting the first transfer means. A cutter 46, which is a cutting device that cuts the label continuum 10 sent by the second feed roller 40 into each label 12, is formed downstream of the roller 44.

The cutter 46 is fed by the operation of the first feed roller 38 and the second feed roller 40 which constitute the first transfer means of the label continuum by being operated by a cylinder or the like. Label continuum 1
Cut off 0.

The cutter 46 is provided between the labels 12 so as to form the label strip 10a having an appropriate length in response to an electric signal from the sensor 52 such as a photo switch formed further downstream from the cutter 46. The perforations 14 at the boundary are formed so as to be continuously cut. Cutter 46
8 and 9, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the portion which is in contact with the label continuum 10 and cuts the label continuum 10 has a substantially pentagonal front shape. A taller top 48 is formed, which in this embodiment projects downwards and is lower so that it gradually abuts the label continuum 10 with a delay as it goes to the side, and rises upwards in this embodiment. Thus, an obtuse shape having an inclined portion 50 is formed, and at the central top 48 thereof, the surface reaches the surface of the label continuum 10 and pushes it faster than other parts, and thereafter the inclined portion 50 gradually forms each of the labels. It is configured to abut the perforations 14 formed between the label strips and separate them. In this way, if the center has a low obtuse-angled shape, the perforation 14 is first cut at the center top portion 48 thereof, and then the inclined portion is continuously sloping in the left-right direction, as compared with a straight cutting blade. Since the label continuum 10 is cut at 50, the label continuum 10 can be cut more easily.

In this embodiment, the belt 54 constituting the second transfer means is formed so that its rear end is located at a position relatively close to the cutter 46. The belt 54 is rotated by a motor 56 so that the label strip 10a is moved downward at a constant interval from the vicinity of the cutter 46 toward the attaching position.
An endless annular belt 54 is stretched between the rear end drive roller 58 and the front end platen roller 60 and the payout roller 62, and a pressure roller 64 is formed above the drive roller 58. The continuum 10 is lightly pressed against the surface of the belt 54.

The label continuous body 10 lightly sandwiched by the pressing roller 64 in this manner has the rear side (upstream) of the label continuous body 10 sandwiched by the second feed roller 40 and the pressing roller 42. Since the label continuum 10 pressed by both the pressing rollers 42 and 64 is fed in a tense state, it is easily cut by the cutter 46. The timing of cutting by the cutter 46 is the catch mark, notch or sewing machine formed on the label continuum 10 in the sensor 52 provided on the belt 54 so as to sandwich the label continuum 10 downstream from the drive roller 58. By detecting the eyes 14 and the like, the label continuum 10 is sent to the cutter 46 at an appropriate interval, that is, at an appropriate length constituting the label strip 10a, and then the cutter 46 is detected.
It is configured to be disconnected by. The belt 54 is a plastic endless annular belt whose surface is siliconized, and the label strip 10a is lightly adhered by the adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 18 of the label continuum 10 by the silicon processing, and the belt 54 is moved forward. Sent to (downstream). And
When the thermal head 66 heat-sensitively develops the color of the belt 54, the thermal head 66 causes the label strips 10a to move.
When the surface of the belt is rubbed, it is adhered to the surface of the belt 50 by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 18 of the label strip 10a so as not to shift on the surface of the belt 54, and a smooth surface is formed so that precise printing can be performed. Although formed, it is surface-treated so that it can be peeled off relatively easily when it is attached.

In this embodiment, the platen roller 6
0 has a diameter substantially the same as that of the driving roller 58, but the feeding roller 62 located further forward is constituted by a thin roller and is configured to incline from the platen roller 60 to the feeding roller 62. There is. The platen roller 60 cooperates with the thermal head 66 to form a printing device that thermally develops the label strip 10a.

Below the feeding roller 62, a plurality of nozzles forming an air blowing portion are formed in the body portion at appropriate intervals in order to control the transfer direction of the label strip 10a. The air nozzles 68 are formed at appropriate intervals so that air is blown out over substantially the entire area of the belt 54 in the width direction. Therefore, the tip of the label strip 10a, which is sent by lightly adhering to the surface of the belt 54 by the action of the adhesive layer 18 by the air blown out from the air nozzle 68, faces slightly above the traveling direction of the belt 54. The attitude is controlled as follows. Next, the label strip 10a fed forward from the position of the feeding roller 62 is projected toward the suction sticking device 70 formed in front thereof.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the suction sticking device 70 has a suction plate 72 fixed to the lower part thereof so as to be able to move forward and backward, and the label strip 10a is attached to the lower surface of the suction plate 72 on the delivery roller 62 side. It is formed so as to be extended further and reach. The suction plate 72 is fixed to the lower portion of the suction box 74, and the suction hole 7 is provided in the body portion thereof.
A plurality of 6 are provided.

The suction box 74 is made of a substance through which gas is difficult to pass, and when the air inside the suction box 74 is exhausted from the exhaust hole 76 by an adsorption blower (not shown), the suction force of the suction hole 76 can be enhanced. It is formed so that it can. That is, the suction hole 76 is a hole to which a negative pressure is applied in the vicinity thereof and which sucks and holds the label strip 10a. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the suction plate 72 is formed so as to slide in the front-rear direction by the operation of a cylinder 78 fixed in the suction box 74 in front of the suction plate 72. The suction plate 72 has a step 72a formed at its side end, is slidably fixed to an inverted U-shaped slide guide 84 formed at the bottom of the suction box 74, and has a guide piece 86 at the other side end.
Is formed and is slidably fixed to the linear guide 88. That is, the front end of the rod 80 of the cylinder 78 is fixed to the connecting member 82 formed upward in the upper portion of the suction plate 72, and the rod 80 is moved back and forth by the operation of the cylinder 80, whereby the suction plate 72 is moved to the label strip 10a. Is adsorbed and held, and is slidably moved to an appropriate attachment site.

Further, in the suction box 74, the label strip 1
A pressing device 90 is formed as a pressing unit that presses 0a toward the adherend A. The pressing device 90 includes a pressing rod 92 made of a cylindrical metal rod, and vertically extends inside the suction box 74. An elastic body 94 composed of a coil-shaped spring is provided around the outer peripheral surface of the pressing rod 92 that constitutes the pressing device 90. The elastic body 94 has one end fixed to the upper end of the pressing rod 92, A hollow cylindrical label pressing portion 96 made of a flexible material such as soft plastic is formed at the lower end. An pushing device 98 is formed along the pushing rod 92 to push the pushing rod 92 of the pushing device 90 toward the adherend A in the vertical direction.

In the pushing device 98, an actuator 100 composed of a cylinder such as hydraulic pressure or air is hung vertically, and a pushing rod 92 of a pushing device 90 is slid on the tip of a rod 102 which is an operating body of the actuator 100. A holding portion 104, which is a holding means including a bearing having a bearing and the like, which holds freely, is formed.
The intermediate portion of the pressing rod 92 is held by the bearing portion 104a. The lower end of the elastic body 94 is fixed to the upper end of the holding portion 104.

A stopper 106, which is a stopping means, is formed in the lower part of the pushing device 98 at a position near the lowermost end of the stroke of the actuator 100 so as to suddenly stop the advancing operation of the rod 102 of the actuator 100. The stopper 106 is an L-shaped fixing member 108.
A stopper piece 110 made of a sponge or the like as a buffer is attached to the upper surface of the sticker with a double-sided tape, and the fixing material 108 is sucked so that the stopper piece 110 is located on the surface contacting the tip of the rod 102 of the extrusion device 98. It is fixed at an appropriate position on the box 74. On the peripheral surface of the pressing rod 92, at a position close to the uppermost end of the stroke of the actuator 100 of the pushing device 98, and between the lower end of the elastic body 94 and the upper end of the label pressing portion 96, the holding portion 104 of the pushing device 98. A circular buffer body 112 made of an elastic body such as a sponge is provided around a portion contacting the lower surface of the. That is, a cushioning material 112 a such as a sponge is attached to the upper surface of the annular mounting piece 112 b, and the annular mounting piece 112 b is fixed to the peripheral surface of the pressing rod 92, whereby the cushioning body 112 is attached. Therefore, even if the pressing rod 92 is pulled back upward by the action of the elastic body 94, the shock absorbing force is absorbed by the buffer body 112, and it is possible to endure long-term use. The pressing rod 92 is
It is slidably fixed to a slide bearing of a bearing portion 104a formed at the tip of the rod 102 of the actuator 100.

In this embodiment, the drive roller 58 and the first feed roller 38 are the pulley 114 formed on the drive shaft of the motor 56, the pulley 116 formed on the shaft of the drive roller 58, and the first roller. The driving belt 120, which is wound around the pulley 118 formed on the shaft of the feed roller 38, rotates by transmitting the rotational force of the motor 56 (see FIG. 5).

The pressing roller 42 and the roller 36 are composed of an arm 124 and an arm 12 suspended from a pivot 122.
6 are rotatably fixed to the elastic body 6 and are made of an elastic body 12 such as a spring.
8, 130 is pulled toward an appropriate position, for example, the pressing roller 42 is directed toward the second feed roller 40.
In addition, the arm 124 and the arm 126 are the pivot 122.
Together with the fixed support frame 132, it can be pulled upward, and is formed so as to facilitate the work when the cutting and feeding device 30 has a paper jam or the like.

Next, the operating condition of this embodiment will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the label continuum 10 is
The rolled material of the label continuous body 10 is attached to the unwinding portion 32, the label continuous body 10 is brought to the roller 36 via the rollers 34a and 34b, and is fed from the first feed roller 38 to the second feed roller 40. Then, the label continuum 10 that has passed between the pressing roller 42 and the second feeding roller 40.
Passes under the cutter 46 via the roller 44. Then, it reaches the upper surface of the belt 54, is sandwiched by the driving roller 58 and the pressing roller 64, and reaches the lower portion of the sensor 52. Then, after the sensor 52 detects an appropriate feed distance of the label continuum 10, the label strip 10 is cut by the cutter 46.
a is formed.

The label strip 10a, while lightly adhered to the surface of the belt 54, reaches the thermal head 66 as the belt 54 rotates, and the label strip 10a sandwiched between the platen roller 60 and the label strip 10a has a thermal head. The color is thermally developed by 66, and appropriate information is printed. Then, the label strip 10a printed by the thermal head 66 further descends slightly to the delivery roller 62 while being adhered to the surface of the belt 54.

The label strip 10a reaching the roller 62 is
Since the belt 54 is suddenly folded back in the opposite direction by the roller 62, the label strip 10a moves forward as it is due to the rigidity of the label strip 10a. At this time, the air blown from the air nozzle 68 corrects the label strip 10a so that the label strip 10a is directed upward, and reaches the suction surface of the suction plate 72.
Then, the negative pressure of the suction holes 76 of the suction plate 72 holds the suction surface of the suction plate 72. When the label strip 10a is held on the suction surface, the suction plate 72 is moved forward by the operation of the cylinder 78, and the label strip 10a is located above the adherend A. Then, the label strip 10a is sucked and held on the suction surface of the lower surface of the suction plate 72 by the negative pressure generated by the action of the suction blower, and then the pushing device 98 operates to cause the rod 102 of the actuator 100 of the pushing device 98. Is rapidly lowered by the lower surface of the holding portion 104 via the cushioning body 112 in parallel with the downward movement of the rod 102. Then, the lowermost surface of the holding portion 104 abuts on the stopper 106 provided near the lowermost end of the stroke of the rod 102 of the actuator 100, and the descending motion of the rod 102 is rapidly stopped.

On the other hand, the pushing device 98 for holding the pressing rod 92.
Of the pressing rod 9 descending in parallel with the descending movement of the holding portion 104 of the
2 is elastic body 94 due to the inertial force of the pressing rod 92.
The suction plate 7
The label strip 10a suction-held on the lower surface of 2 is pressed, and the surface of the adhesive layer 18 of the label strip 10a comes into contact with the upper surface of the adherend A that has been transported by a transport device (not shown). Then, it is attached to the adherend A. At this time, the label pressing portion 9 made of a flexible material is provided below the pressing rod 92.
Since 6 is formed, the label pressing portion 96 does not absorb the impact of the downward movement of the pressing rod 92, and the downward movement of the pressing rod 92 does not press and crush the adherend A.

The pressing device 90, in this embodiment, is
As shown in FIG. 2, nine pressing rods 92 are formed side by side in the front, rear, left and right directions, but the pressing rods 92 are configured to descend independently of each other. Therefore, even if an uneven surface is formed on the surface of the object to be adhered A or a step is formed, the pressing rod 92 of each pressing device 90 is attached to the object to be adhered A.
When the label strip 10a reaches the surface of the adherend A accurately, the label strip 10a can be closely adhered to the surface of the adherend A. Therefore, in the above embodiment, even when the size of the adherend A is changed, the label strip 10a is accurately pressed against the surface of the adherend A without changing the pressing device 90. Therefore, the label strip 10a can be attached to the adherend A neatly, and the plurality of pressing rods 92 are configured to operate independently, so that even if the surface of the adherend A is uneven. Even if there is a gap or a step surface is formed, the pressure rods 92 of the independent pressing devices 84 respectively reach the surface of the adherend A by corresponding to the height of the surface of the adherend A, so that the label thinning is performed. The piece 10a is the adherend A
Can be accurately and beautifully applied to.

When a delayed tack type adhesive is selected as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the label continuum 10, it is not necessary to perform mold release treatment on the first transfer means, but the second transfer means is used. In the transfer means, it is necessary to form an activation device that heats and activates the delayed tack type adhesive during transfer to activate the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the label to impart tackiness.

The present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, innumerable convex portions 142 are scattered on the surface of the label contact surface 140a of the belt 140 as the first transfer means.
May be provided so that the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 18 of the label continuum 10 is lightly adhered and fed.
As shown in, the rubber belt 144 having a circular cross section may be spanned to transfer the label continuum 10.

As shown in FIG. 1, the continuous label body 10 used in the above-mentioned embodiment has arcuate notches 150 formed at both ends of the perforations 14, and the sensor 52.
It is easy to detect with. In addition, a material having transparency is selected as the label base material 16 so that the sensor 52 including a photoswitch has a high light-transmitting property and a difference is provided between the light-transmitting property of the printing layer 22 and the label layer 16. You may.
