Description

The invention is intended for use in the labeling of bottles filled with liquids, in particular transparent. The invention will find application in the wine and vodka industry, as well as in the labeling of bottles with non-alcoholic and low alcohol drinks, with vegetable oil, etc. The invention can be used when supplying bottles with excise stamps. The invention can also be used in aquariums.

Known methods for attaching holographic labels, including a holographic layer, by attaching the label to the outer surface of the vessel, the holographic layer of the label facing outward [RF Application 97109849, 6 V 65 C 3/18, priority 11.06.97, publ. 05/10/99].

Such methods for attaching holographic labels do not create a holographic image inside the vessel, and the label is not protected from damage.

The invention was tasked with creating a holographic image inside a vessel, for example inside a bottle. The invention was also given the task of preventing damage to the hologram and the difficulty of falsifying such labels, including excise stamps. The invention achieves other goals that will become clear from the following description.

In the invented method of attaching a topographic label to the surface of a vessel made at least partially of a transparent material, it is new that the back side of the label is coated with adhesive, and a backing with a topographic layer that is shorter in length and / or width is glued to the back of the label than the label, and then the protruding edges of the label are used to attach the label to the surface of the vessel, placing the label with a topographic layer inside the vessel.

Due to the fact that the back side of the label is coated with glue, a backing with a topographic layer shorter in length and / or width than the label is glued to the back side of the label, and then the protruding edges of the label are used to attach the label to the surface of the vessel, placing the label with the topographic layer inside the vessel , the label is on the transparent surface of the vessel, facing the topographic layer inside the vessel. When the topographic layer is turned inside the vessel, a topographic image is created inside the vessel. The volumetric topographic image seems to be in the liquid with which the vessel can be filled. The label fixes the position of the topographic layer and protects the topographic layer from damage.

The invention is illustrated by drawings.

The possibility of carrying out the invention is proved by the following examples.

Example 1 (figure 1).

The vessel has side walls 1 and 2 and a bottom 3. Directly on the outer surface of the vessel’s side wall 1 is fixed or directly applied to this surface is a topographic layer 4 coated with a label 5 with protruding edges 6. Label 5 simultaneously acts as a substrate for the holographic layer 4. Protruding edges 6, labels 5 are attached, for example, glued, to the outer surface of a transparent, for example glass, side wall 1, and label 5 is attached in place with a holographic layer 4 to the outer surface of a transparent, for example yannoy, the side wall 5 prevents 1. Label topographic layer 4 from damage firmly presses topographic layer 4 to the surface of the vessel and securely fixes the position of the holographic layer 4.

When the label 5 is made of an opaque material, the topographic layer 4 is shielded from unwanted light rays. When the label 5 is made of a transparent material, the topographic layer 4 is illuminated with additional rays of light passing through the label 5.

The light penetrating into the vessel through the transparent side walls 1 and 2 passes through the liquid (liquid is not shown in the drawings), which the vessel can be filled with, illuminates the topographic layer 4, creating an image. This observer can see this topographic image through the transparent wall 2. The three-dimensional topographic image seems to be located inside the vessel, in the liquid filling the vessel. The hologram can also create intense highlighting of a part of the liquid, including with shades of different tonality.

The method of attaching labels 5 with a holographic layer 4 is as follows. Label 5 has edges 6 that extend beyond the holographic layer 4 located on the back of label 5, since topographic layer 4 is shorter and / or wider than label 5. These edges 6 of label 5 are used to attach to the outer surface of the vessel. Such fastening is carried out by gluing (if the label 5 is made of paper) or by welding (if the label 5 is made of thermoplastic material).

The label attached in this way has a holographic layer facing the inside of the vessel and is reliably protected from damage by the label and the wall of the vessel.

Example 2 (figure 2).

The vessel has transparent side walls 7 and 8 and a bottom 9. The side wall 7 and the bottom 9 can be either transparent or opaque, but the side wall 8 must be transparent. A label 10 is fixed on the outer surface of the vessel side wall 7. A holographic layer 11 is fixed on the inner surface of the vessel side wall 7.

The light penetrating into the vessel through the transparent parts of the walls 7, 8 and / or the bottom 9 also passes through the liquid with which the vessel can be filled and illuminates the holographic layer 11, creating a holographic image. This image may appear to be located inside and / or outside the vessel.

The method for attaching a holographic label involves separately securing or applying in any way the actual label 10 on the outer surface of the vessel wall 7, and the holographic layer 11 on the inner surface of the vessel wall 7.

Example 3 (figure 3).

The vessel has transparent side walls 12 and 13, as well as the bottom 14. The holographic layer 16 with the substrate 17 is covered with a label 15. The holographic layer 16 with the substrate 17 is directly attached to the outer surface of the vessel’s side wall 12 or directly on this wall. The holographic layer 16 together with the substrate 17 are closed by a label 15 having edges protruding beyond the holographic layer 16 and its substrate 17. With these protruding edges, the label 15 is attached to the outer surface of the transparent side wall 12 of the vessel, fixing on the side with 12 enke holographic layer 16 with the substrate 17.

The light penetrating into the vessel through the transparent wall 13 and the bottom 14 of the vessel passes through the liquid with which the vessel is filled, illuminates the holographic layer 16, which creates a topographic image.

The method of fastening the label 15 with the topographic layer 16 and the substrate 17 is that the edges of the label 15, protruding beyond the topographic layer 16, are used to fasten the label 15 on the outer surface of the vessel side wall 12, for fixing the topographic layer 16 on the surface of the vessel wall 12 and for shielding and protecting the topographic layer 16.

Example 4 (figures 4, 5 and 6)

The vessel has transparent side walls 18 and 19 and a transparent bottom 20. Directly on the transparent bottom 20 is attached a label 21 that fixes the holographic layer 22 located directly on the outer surface of the transparent bottom 20. The label 21 is made in length and / or width more than the holographic layer 22. The edges of the label 21, protruding beyond the topographic layer 22, are used for attachment to the vessel.

Light penetrating into the vessel through the transparent side walls 18 and 19 of the vessel illuminates the holographic layer 22, creating a topographic image. This topographic image may appear to be located inside the vessel, in the fluid that the vessel is filled with. The holographic image can be viewed through the transparent side walls 18 and 19 of the vessel. A 3D topographic image may appear to be located inside and / or outside the vessel.

The method of attaching a topographic label is as follows. The reverse side of the label 21 is coated with glue. A holographic layer 22 is applied on the same side of the label 21 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), which is glued to the label 21. Since the holographic layer 22 has a length and a width shorter than the label 21, the edges of the label 21 together with the reverse the side of the label 21 with adhesive protrudes beyond the topographic layer 22. These edges of the label 21 are used to attach the label 21 to the outer surface of the transparent bottom 20 of the vessel. Thus, the holographic layer 22 is fixed on the outer surface of the transparent bottom 20 of the vessel.

Similarly, you can implement the method of mounting on the outer surface of the side wall 12 (in example 3) of the holographic label 15 with the holographic layer 16 and the substrate 17 (see figure 3).

The term "vessel" in this description should be understood as any transparent or partially transparent container, intended primarily for filling with liquid or already filled with liquid. By the inventive method, holographic labels can be attached to bottles for various transparent, translucent or colored liquids. By the inventive method, holographic labels can be attached to bottles with alcoholic, non-alcoholic or other drinks. By the inventive method, holographic labels can be attached to glasses, mugs, decanters or other similar objects. By the inventive method, holographic labels can also be attached to decorative vessels, display cases, aquariums or devices for creating lighting effects.

The term "label" in this description should be understood as any sticker anywhere in the vessel, such as a bottle. By the inventive method, it is also possible to fasten holographic counter-labels, tints, including those located on the tapering part of the bottle or on its neck. By the inventive method, holographic stickers can also be fixed on other parts of the bottle, for example, on the bottom or on the cork of the bottle.

The above examples do not exhaust all possible modifications of the invention.
