Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label for a storage medium, and more particularly to a label for a storage medium that is attached to a plurality of surfaces on the outer periphery of the storage medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a label for a storage medium which describes contents recorded on a storage medium and is attached to an outer surface of the storage medium, there is, for example, an index label of a floppy disk. This index label is generally formed by applying an adhesive to one surface of a single square or rectangular sheet member, and the base end corresponding to about 80% of the entire area thereof is provided on the surface of the cartridge shell of a floppy disk. After attaching, on the side of the end of the cartridge shell
The cartridge is turned 180 ° and the remaining part on the tip side is attached to the back of the cartridge shell for use.

However, the area of the side surface of the end portion of the cartridge shell is small, and the corners corresponding to the boundaries of the surfaces are rounded into an R shape for convenience of injection molding. It was difficult to flip 180 °. Further, since the sheet member also has a stress due to bending, the index label is not stuck on the side surface of the end portion of the cartridge shell, and often floats and bulges in the vicinity of the index label. In addition, when updating the recorded contents of the floppy disk, the index label is replaced with the one with the new recorded contents, so an adhesive whose adhesive force is limited to the extent that it can be peeled off from the floppy disk is used. I have. For this reason, on the tip end side of the index label having a relatively small sticking area, the stress to the bending of the sheet member tends to exceed the adhesive force of the adhesive and tends to be easily peeled off.

[0004] In order to improve such a point, it has
No. 1-185075 and No. 63-84792, the index label is provided with a push line etc. along the corner which is the boundary of each surface of the cartridge shell, to ease bending stress and ease bending. Things are disclosed. Also,
Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-122975 discloses an index label in which a notch is provided in a portion corresponding to an end side surface of a cartridge shell to reduce an area of a portion to be bent, thereby reducing stress on bending. .

[0005]

However, in the case of an index label provided with a push line or the like, it cannot be said that the stress for bending can always be sufficiently reduced. There is a problem that the leading end of the index label is easily peeled off.

In many cases, floppy disks are stored in a box in a state where a plurality of disks are bundled, and information such as recorded contents is stored in a portion of the attached index label located on the side of the end of the cartridge shell. Is described, the target floppy disk can be easily identified and taken out. In this regard, in the case of an index label in which a notch is provided in the part corresponding to the end side surface of the cartridge shell, the area of that part is reduced, the number of characters and symbols that can be written is reduced, and it is not possible to identify the recorded contents. May not be able to provide sufficient information
There was a problem.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems.
An object of the present invention is to provide a label for a storage medium having a shape which does not peel off naturally after being attached to a storage medium which is an object and which can sufficiently describe information necessary for identification of recorded contents.

[0008]

For this reason, in the invention according to claim 1, one sheet member has an adhesive on one surface, and is adhered over a plurality of outer surfaces of the storage medium. A label for a storage medium, wherein a bent portion formed of a perforation formed along a boundary between a plurality of outer surfaces of the storage medium is provided.

Thus, the storage medium label is easily bent at a portion along the boundary between the plurality of surfaces of the storage medium, and the folded state is stabilized. Further, in the invention according to claim 2, the bent portion is formed of a plurality of rows of perforations, and a portion along a boundary between a plurality of surfaces on the outer periphery of the storage medium even if the alignment is slightly shifted when pasting. To bend easily.

Further, in the invention according to claim 3, the perforation is formed by cutting the sheet member from the other surface having no adhesive, and the adhesive applied to one surface of the sheet member is used as the other. So that it does not seep out.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an index label for a floppy disk which is an example of a label for a storage medium according to the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) is a plan view and FIG. 1 (b).
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining a method of attaching this index label to a cartridge shell of a floppy disk.

As shown in FIG. 1, an index label 1 is formed by applying an adhesive 3 to one surface of a sheet member 2 made of substantially square paper. The adhesive is supplied by being adhered to a backing sheet (not shown) in which the adhesive is easily peeled. The pressure-sensitive adhesive 3 has a restricted adhesive strength such that the pressure-sensitive adhesive 3 can be separated from the floppy disk when the index label 1 is replaced.

As shown in FIG. 2, the index label 1 has its proximal end 1a adhered to the surface 12a of the cartridge shell 12 of the floppy disk 11, and then has an end side surface 12b (width h) of the cartridge shell 12. And flip it 180 °
The remaining portion of the leading end 1b is attached to the back surface 12c of the cartridge shell 12 for use. The sheet member 2 of the index label 1 has a bent portion 4 formed of perforations 4a and 4b formed along the corners 13a and 13b, which are boundaries between the respective surfaces of the outer periphery of the cartridge shell 12, in the entire direction. Is provided. By bending the index label 1 along the perforations, the stress caused by bending of the sheet member 2 is relieved, and the index label 1 can be adhered to each surface of the cartridge shell 12 in close contact. Therefore, the index label 1 does not float on the end side surface 12b of the cartridge shell 12 and swells, and does not peel off naturally after being attached.

Further, in the index label 1, since there is no notch at a portion corresponding to the end side surface 12b of the cartridge shell 12, an area for displaying the recorded contents of the floppy disk 11 can be secured. Thus, even when a plurality of floppy disks are bundled and stored, a target floppy disk can be easily identified. In the above-described example, two rows of perforations 4a and 4b are formed along the corners 13a and 13b of the cartridge shell 12, respectively.
However, more perforations may be provided in a plurality of rows at predetermined intervals. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), two rows of perforations are added so as to sandwich each of the above-mentioned standard perforations 4a and 4b, and a total of six rows of perforations 4a to 4f are provided to form a bent portion. 4 may be configured.

In such a configuration, even if the alignment is slightly shifted when the index label 1 is attached to the cartridge shell 12, any one of the three rows of perforations is located near each corner of the cartridge shell 12. Therefore, there is an advantage that the attachment of the index label 1 can be more easily performed. If a plurality of perforations are provided at narrow intervals, the strength of the sheet member 2 at the bent portion 4 may be extremely reduced, and the sheet member 2 may be damaged when peeled off from the backing sheet. In this regard, each perforation does not need to penetrate the sheet member 2 and, as shown in FIG. 3B, which is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. If it is cut so far, appropriate strength and ease of bending can be obtained.

As shown in FIG. 3 (c), a position near the corner 13b of the cartridge shell 12, which is the most effective for preventing the leading end 1b of the index label 1 from spontaneously peeling off, is shown. Only a plurality of rows (three rows of 4b, 4e, and 4f in FIG. 3C) may be provided at predetermined intervals to form the bent portion 4. Fig. 4
As shown in FIG. 4 (a), it is common to arrange "-" shaped cuts. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), "Z" shaped cuts are arranged. As shown in c), various shapes can be used in any combination, such as a combination of "-" shaped cuts arranged side by side. 4 (b) and 4 (c), the operation is substantially the same as that in which two rows of perforations are provided.

The perforations are formed at the corners 13a and 13b.
Is formed from end to end in the entire direction so as to conform to the above, but does not necessarily have to extend over the whole. If each perforation is formed at the same time as the contour of the index label 1 is cut out, it can be easily formed without increasing the number of manufacturing steps. In addition, if the sheet member 2 is cut from the other surface of the sheet member 2 having no adhesive to form a perforation, the adhesive 3 applied to one surface of the sheet member 2 becomes
This prevents the index label 1 from being exfoliated from the backing paper as much as possible without being pushed by the cutter and seeping out from the perforation to the other surface.

The label for a storage medium according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned index label of a floppy disk, but may be used in various forms. For example, even when a single label is stuck over the top and side surfaces of the video cassette, the bent portion formed of perforations may be formed along the corner that is the boundary between the top and side surfaces of the video cassette. , The same effect can be obtained.

[0019]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
The storage medium label can be easily folded along the boundaries of a plurality of outer surfaces of the storage medium to be affixed, without reducing the area for describing and displaying the recorded contents and the like. This allows
The storage medium label can be brought into close contact with the sticking target,
Since the folded state is stabilized, there is an effect that unintended peeling after sticking can be prevented.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the bent portion is formed by a plurality of rows of perforations, so that even if the alignment is slightly misaligned at the time of sticking, it can be stuck to the object. There is an effect that can be. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the adhesive applied to one surface of the sheet member does not exude to the other surface, the other surface of the sheet member can be stained with the adhesive at the time of sticking. There is an effect that it can be beautifully finished.
