Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a method for binding objects such as steel plate coils or steel wire coils with a binding material such as a band-shaped metal plate, by locking the binding material to the product number and other information. The present invention relates to the improvement of tags that display .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional tag of this kind has a bent plate part 2 which is bent diagonally outward from both ends of a band-shaped plate part 1 on the same side. Binding material 3 on each curved plate part 2
A through hole 4 is provided.

In the figure, a strip is used as the binding material 3, so the holes 4
Although the hole 4 is a long hole extending in the width direction of the tag 5, when a string-like material is used as the binding material 3, the hole 4 is formed into a round hole.

Alternatively, the hole 4 may be opened at one side edge of the bent plate portion 2 so that the tag 5 can be fitted and locked from the side of the binding material 3.

In this case, the holes 4 of each bent plate part 2 are usually opened at opposite side edges.

In any case, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tag 5 is stored in the tag storage section 8 of the tag supply device 7, which is disposed on the side of the binding material supply passage 6 of the binding machine. A slider that reciprocates in the direction of arrow 11 in a state in which the folding plate parts 2 are stored in a stacked state and pressed against the bottom side of the storage part 8 by a pusher 10 biased by a tension spring spring 9. 12, the bundles are sequentially supplied into the binding material supply passage 6 one by one starting from the lowest one.

The binding material 3 traveling within this binding material supply passage 6 is
After passing through the binding material guide slit 13 formed in the slider 12 into both the front and rear insertion holes 4 of the tag 5 supported by the slider 12, the slider 12 returns.

In order to ensure the above tag feeding action by the slider 12, the tag feeding surface 12a of the slider 12 is
It is formed to be slightly higher than the thickness of the belt-like plate part 1 of the tag 5, so that this tag feeding surface 12a does not get caught on the belt-like plate part 1 of the tag one above during the forward movement. It is necessary to ensure a gap of a certain size or more between each strip plate part 1 of the stacked tags 5.

If the thickness of the plate material forming the tag 5 is sufficient, the above-mentioned gap can be secured as long as the bending angles of the double-folding plate parts 2 are made with precision.However, in order to reduce costs, If the thickness of the plate material forming the tag 5 is made thinner, even if the above-mentioned gap can be secured in the design, in reality, the pusher 1
As a result of being pressed at 0, or by receiving vibrations due to the operation of the binding machine, the stacked tags 5 gradually tighten, and the gap between the upper and lower strip plate parts 1 becomes smaller than a certain size. There is a strong possibility that the upper and lower band-like plate portions 1 will come into close contact with each other, making it impossible for the slider 12 to feed out each tag.

In order to solve the above problem, it would be sufficient to provide a protrusion that prevents the upper and lower strip plate parts 1 from coming into close contact with each other when the tags 5 are stacked. Various protruding locations are possible.

That is, when the protrusion is provided inwardly (towards the object to be bound) from the strip plate part 1, a gap corresponding to the height of the protrusion is secured between the upper and lower strip plate parts 1 when the tags 5 are stacked. However, if the tag extrusion step surface of the slider 12 that pushes out the stacked tags 5 from the lowest one protrudes even slightly above the surface of the strip plate 1, the upper tags 5 The upper tag 5 is also pushed out through the protrusion provided, and there is no point in providing the protrusion to ensure a gap between the strip plate parts 1.

Furthermore, although the protrusions described above are generally formed by press working, if the protrusions are formed on the strip-shaped plate portion 1 used as a display surface for various data, the strip-shaped plate portion 1
It may become impossible to use the entire surface of the display as a display surface, or the protrusions may become an obstacle when displaying data using a stamping method.

Further, although the trapezoidal tag 5 as described above may be relatively easily deformed into a flat shape by tightening the binding material 3, the protrusion may dig into the surface of the object to be bound during such deformation. It must not cause any damage.

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the tags 5 are stacked so that the folded plate parts 2 overlap, the top The protrusion 15 that receives the lower edge of the folded plate portion 2 of the tag 5 is
It is characterized by the fact that it is provided on the bending plate part 2 of.

In the illustrated embodiment, U-shaped cuts are made at two places on the left and right sides of the bending plate part 2, and the tongue pieces formed by the cuts are bent outward to form the projections 15. It may be a protrusion that is partially protruded in a wart-like or band-like shape by pressing, and its shape and forming method are not limited.

Further, although two protrusions 15 on the left and right sides are provided on each bending plate portion 2, one protrusion 16 of an appropriate length may also be provided on each bending plate portion 2, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

As in the above embodiment, in the tag of the present invention having the protrusion 15 or 19, even if the stacked tags 5 are tightened by the pressing force of the pusher 10 due to vibration, the upper and lower tags 5 are within a certain distance from each other. The protrusion 15 or 16 prevents the tag from approaching the gap 14 between the strip plate parts 1 of the upper and lower tags 5.
As a result, even if the plate thickness is made thin as in the conventional case, there is no fear that the upper and lower band-shaped plate parts 1 will become abnormally close to each other or come into close contact with each other.

Therefore, the slider 12 can reliably send out each tag.

The tag of the present invention can be implemented and used as described above, and its greatest feature is that it has a trapezoidal shape in which bent plate parts are connected diagonally outward from both ends of the band-shaped plate part on the same side. In the tag, instead of having a protrusion protruding from the band-like plate part, when the tags are stacked so that the folding plate parts overlap, the folding plate of the upper tag is formed on the double folding plate part. The point is that there is a protrusion that protrudes to hold the lower edge.

Therefore, according to the tag of the present invention, a gap free from any protrusions can be ensured between the strip-shaped plate portions of the stacked tags, so that the rear side of the strip-shaped plate portion of the tag can be used as a tag extrusion slider. Even if a conventional slider of the type that pushes the edge and projects slightly upward from the pushing step surface or the band-like plate part is used as it is, the action of sending out each tag can be reliably performed.

Further, the entire surface of the band-shaped plate can be used as a data display surface, and even when data is displayed by stamping, there is no fear that the protrusions will interfere with the marking work.

Furthermore, even if the tag is pressed against the surface of the object to be bound and deformed into a flat shape due to the tightening of the binding material, there is no fear that the projections will dig into the surface of the object to be bound and cause damage.
