Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rolled display label continuous body formed by winding a tape-shaped continuous display label used in a portable label printing and pasting machine.

In general, a continuous label used in a portable label printing and pasting machine (hereinafter referred to as a hand labeler), an example of which is shown in Figure 5, has an adhesive coated on the back side and has cuts or notches at regular intervals. A tape-like label material is pasted onto the upper surface of a removable tape-like mount, and an appropriate amount of this is wound around a cylindrical core 20 to create a continuous roll-like label. The body 25 is used by being rotatably attached to a holding part 26 on the upper part of the hand labeler.

As the core of the roll-shaped label continuous body, one having a structure as shown in FIG. 6 is commonly used.

The winding core 20 is made of plastic, and the inner side of one end of the cylindrical shape is thickened to form a mounting part 21 to the holding part 26 of the hand labeler. An engaging convex portion 22.22, .

On the other hand, the engagement convex portion 22.22 is provided on the other end surface of the winding core 20.
The engaging recesses 23, 23.
. . . Further, a plurality of ribs 24, 24 are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the winding core 20 along its axial direction.

... is formed.

These engagement protrusions 22, engagement recesses 23, and ribs 24 are
This is necessary for the work of winding the tape-shaped label continuous body around the winding core 20 (hereinafter referred to as small winding work).

That is, normally, in the small winding operation, a plurality of cores 20 are inserted around the outer periphery of a rod-shaped core and arranged in parallel, and after adhering the end of the label continuous body to the outer circumferential surface of each core 20, the core and each winding are Core 20
are rotated together to wind an appropriate amount of label continuous body to form a roll-shaped continuous label body 25. During this operation, the ribs 24 of the winding core 20 prevent looseness between the winding core 20 and the metal core. On the other hand, the engaging protrusion 22 engages with the engaging recess 23 of the other adjacent winding core 20, thereby preventing each winding core 20 from rotating together and being unable to be wound small due to idle rotation.

Therefore, the conventional roll-shaped label continuous body of this kind has to use a core with the above-mentioned complicated structure due to the necessity of small-volume work, and is therefore expensive.
The holding part for the continuous rolled label installed in a hand labeler, etc. must also be able to rotate the core and securely hold it so that it does not fall off, resulting in a complex structure that is difficult to manufacture and increases the cost of the hand labeler, etc. was high.

Furthermore, each time a continuous roll of labels is used, a plastic and high-tension core remains, making disposal of the core difficult.

Incidentally, a cylindrical paper tube has also been used as the winding core, but even in that case, the problems of cost and disposal have not been solved.

-Furthermore, these problems are not only present in the case of labels but also in the case of other display tags such as price tags.

Therefore, if the core is simply removed, the inner end of the continuous label body will come undone, making handling extremely inconvenient.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to wind display tags such as labels and price tags without using a winding core, thereby reducing costs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll-shaped continuous body of display tags in which the holding part of the continuous body can also be made of a simple structure and the problem of disposal of the winding core can be solved.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

Note that as a typical example of a display tag, a case of a label that is printed and attached to an article will be described.

Figures 1 and 2 show the first embodiment of the present invention.
This roll-shaped label continuous body 1 has a label material 2 on which an adhesive layer is formed on the back side and cut edges 3 are formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, and a tape-shaped mount 4 which has peelability. It is made by winding a tape-like label continuous body 5 pasted onto the top surface of the label into a roll.

Winding start end (inner end) 5 of the tape-like label continuous body 5
After winding, a is adhered to the back surface of the subsequent tape-like label continuous body 5.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the adhesive material 6 was applied to either or both of the surface of the label material 2 or the back surface of the mount 4, and the continuous label body 5 was wound to form a predetermined diameter. After that, glue the two together.

In addition, the mount 4 is provided with transfer notches 7 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction and at positions that coincide with the cut edges 3 of the label material 2.
is the provision.

This notch 7 is for engaging with a transfer claw of a hand labeler or the like for transfer.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the rolled label continuous body 1 of the first embodiment described above in that the label material 9 has discontinuous notches 10 instead of cuts 3. The only difference is that the mount 11 has no notches 7.

Also in this roll-shaped label continuous body 8, the winding start end 12a of the tape-shaped label continuous body 12 is after the first winding.
It is adhered to the trailing part by adhesive material 13.

Next, a third embodiment shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

This roll-shaped label continuous body 14 does not use the mount 4 in the first and second embodiments, and has adhesive or adhesive applied to the back surface, and has notches 15 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction.
A tape-shaped label continuous body 16 provided with a tape-like label is wound.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive in this case is one that does not have adhesive properties under normal conditions but becomes adhesive under conditions such as heating or moistening, or a release agent is applied to the surface of the tape-shaped label continuous body 16. The continuous label body 16 must be prevented from adhering to each other in the rolled or laminated state by means such as the above.

Then, the winding start end 16 of the tape-shaped label continuous body 16
After winding the a surface in the same manner as in the second and second embodiments,
It is adhered to the back surface of the subsequent tape-shaped label continuous body 16 with an adhesive material 17.

An example of the use of the rolled display label continuum according to the present invention will be explained using the hand labeler shown in FIG. 5.

This hand labeler uses a rolled label continuous body 8 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3, which is rotatably attached to an upper holding portion 26.

In the case of the roll-shaped display tag continuous body of the present invention, since a core is not used, the holding portion 26 may also be a simple cylindrical support shaft or a pair of opposing flexible side plates 35 as shown in FIG. 3
A simple structure may be used, such as holding by support rings 36 and 36 protruding from each inner surface of the 5.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
A box-shaped holder 26 that is housed and has a lid 37 that can be opened and closed is also used.

The tape-like label continuum 12 fed out from the roll-like label continuum 8 is separated from the label material 9 and the backing paper 11 by the peeling section 27.
The label material 9 is guided onto a platen 29 via a guide roller 28.

When the hand lever 18 and the grip 19 are grasped, the printer 30 and the cutting blade 31 are lowered to print on the label material 9 on the platen 29, and the cutting blade 31 cuts the label material 9 into one label piece 32. Cut into.

Next, when the hand lever 18 is released, the transfer device 33
As a result, the label material 9 is sent forward one pitch, and the printed label piece 32 is sent out below the sticking member 34.

Note that if the adhesive strength at the winding start end of each roll-shaped label continuum is set to such a level that it can be peeled off by the tensile force (transfer force) of the tape-shaped label continuum by the transfer device 33 or the like, the label material will not be damaged. The adhesive part is peeled off without any damage, so that it can be effectively used up to the winding start end, that is, up to the last label.

Further, in the above embodiment, only a continuous label body is shown in which labels are printed and attached to articles, but the present invention is also applicable to so-called hang tags (tags, tickets) that are not attached to articles. It can be applied to various display label continuums, such as continuums and adhesive label pieces with pre-printed labels pasted onto tape-like mounts.

An example of the method (small roll method) for producing a continuous roll of display tags according to the present invention is as follows. One end (starting end of winding) of the tape-like display tag continuum is suctioned and brought into close contact with the suction hole, and after adhering adhesive material to its surface, the rotating shaft is rotated to collect a predetermined amount of the display tag continuum. If it is rolled up, it becomes a continuous roll of display tags.

As explained above, the rolled display tag continuum of the present invention is wound without using a winding core, and the winding start end is glued to the subsequent tape-like display tag continuum. It does not come undone, and costs are significantly reduced.

Furthermore, since no winding core is used, attachment to a holding part of a hand labeler or the like is facilitated, and the problem of disposal of the winding core after use is also solved.

On the other hand, since the structure of the holding part of the hand labeler or the like may be simple, there are various advantages such as lower cost.
