Definitions
- the present invention relates to an elastic body roller such as a planten roller or a nip roller that feeds a belt-shaped member such as a linerless label or a typical label with liner.
- a linerless label has been developed that lacks a release paper (i.e., a liner) temporarily attached to a back surface side of an adhesive agent layer of a label (see, Patent Literature 1: JP-A: 2011-31426). Accordingly, a linerless label is thought to be desirable as a resource-saving material because a liner does not need to be disposed of after usage thereof.
- FIG. 11 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of a conventional linerless label wound into a rolled shape.
- the linerless label as partially indicated in an enlarged cross-sectional view in FIG. 11 , includes a label substrate, an adhesive agent layer of a back surface side; a thermosensitive color developing agent layer of a front surface side; and a transparent release agent layer of an upper layer side.
- FIG. 12 shows a loaded linerless label.
- FIG. 12 shows a schematic side view of a thermal printer.
- a roller composed of an elastic body such as a rubber material may be used in a planten roller for feeding and printing the linerless label in the abovementioned construction.
- a platen roller composed of an adhesive agent attachment preventing a silicone rubber material is formed and a silicone oil or the like is applied onto an outer peripheral surface of the platen roller in order to prevent the attachment by the adhesive agent of the adhesive agent layer.
- the linerless label that passes through the platen roller may become rolled up and attached to the platen roller. Accordingly, the label can become stuck, which may interfere with normal feeding of label, printing, and the issuance of the label piece.
- the linerless label does not readily peel away from the platen roller, and thus a rolled up linerless label is easily generated.
- an elastic body roller for a label superior in an anti-stick property or a release property (mold release property), even as a roller for simple guidance of linerless label such as a guide roller, or a nip roller comprising a pair of rollers that are rotatably driven to feed the linerless label or a roller, where appropriate for a construction of a printer.
- a groove or the like that is formed on the platen roller may also be easily worn down.
- the present inventors discovered an elastic body roller that includes an inner layer elastic material member disposed on an outer periphery of the roller shaft and an outer layer elastic material member composed of a silicone resin having a C hardness of 20 degrees that is in contact with the belt-shaped member disposed on an outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member in order to solve the various abovementioned problems.
- An elastic body roller includes the inner layer elastic material member disposed on the outer periphery of the roller shaft and the outer layer elastic material member composed of a silicone resin having a C hardness of 20 degrees that is in contact with the belt-shaped member disposed on the outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member.
- a outer layer elastic material member composed of the silicone resin having a low hardness allows the silicone resin to have both a non-stick property or a release property with respect to the adhesive agent layer and the frictional force (gripping force) and anti-wear property necessary with respect to the belt-shaped member as a result of a gelated resin having the low hardness (C hardness of 20° C. or lower). Accordingly, the belt-shaped member such as the linerless label and the typical label with a liner may be stably fed and guided.

- a first embodiment of a present disclosure describes that an elastic body roller has been provided that includes a outer layer elastic material member composed of a silicone resin having C hardness of 20 degrees or less that is in contact with a belt-shaped member disposed on an outer periphery of an inner layer elastic material member, that the elastic body roller possesses a non-stick property or a release property with respect to an adhesive agent layer and frictional force (gripping force) and an anti-wear property with respect to a belt-shaped member, and that the elastic body roller may stably feed and guide a belt-shaped member such as a linerless label or a typical label with a liner.
- a second embodiment of the present disclosure describes that, because an elastic body roller has been provided that includes a configuration such that a diameter of the elastic body roller gradually decreases towards both end portions from a center portion, a belt-shaped member such as a linerless label or a typical label with a liner may be stably fed and guided, even in a case where the belt-shaped member has a narrow width.
- the elastic body roller according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2 , e.g., the elastic body roller configured as a platen roller 20 (elastic body roller for label) in thermal printer 8 , similarly to the platen roller 17 (see, FIG. 12 ). However, a description of similar numerals appended to a similar portion of FIGS. 11 and 12 has been omitted.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the planten roller 20
- FIG. 2 shows an axial direction essential part enlarged cross-sectional view of the planten roller 20
- the planten roller 20 includes a roller shaft 21 , and a rotatable elastic material member 22 that integrally liners to a periphery of the roller shaft 21 , such that the planten roller 20 feeds the label (e.g., the linerless label 1 , see FIG. 11 ) by bringing the label into contact with the elastic material member 22 .
- the label e.g., the linerless label 1 , see FIG. 11
- the elastic material member 22 includes a cylindrical inner layer elastic material member 23 disposed on an outer periphery of the roller shaft 21 , and an outer layer elastic material member 24 (a coating layer) on the linerless label 1 integrally disposed on an outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member 23 .
- the inner layer elastic material member 23 may be composed of a thermoplastic material or a thermosetting elastomeric material.
- thermosetting elastomeric material such as a thermosetting silicone rubber, a one-liquid type RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) rubber, a two-liquid type RTV rubber, an LTV (Low Temperature Vulcanizable) silicone rubber, or an oil resistant thermosetting rubber may be used.
- the inner layer elastic material member 23 has a hardness of 30 to 80 degrees (rubber hardness according to a Durometer Hardness Testing Method Type A defined in JIS K6253, hereinafter referred to as “A hardness”).
- an A hardness is below 30 degrees
- the degree of hardness is too soft for the platen roller 20 to feed and guide a belt-shaped member such as the linerless label 1 , i.e., a feeding function of the planten roller 20 does not perform properly because of excessive contact and frictional force.
- a printing quality of the thermal printer 8 is decreased.
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 is composed from a silicone resin such as a silicone resin having a C hardness (hardness according to a spring type hardness tester Asker C in accordance with SRIS 0101, hereinafter referred to as “C hardness”) of 20 degrees or less.
- C hardness hardness according to a spring type hardness tester Asker C in accordance with SRIS 0101, hereinafter referred to as “C hardness”
- a silicone resin such as silicone gel, a RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) liquid silicone rubber, an LTV (Low Temperature Vulcanizable) liquid silicone rubber, an ultraviolet light curable liquid silicone rubber, or a thermosetting liquid silicone rubber may be used as the silicone rubber.
- the silicone resin inherently possesses a non-sticky property or a release property, and the silicone resin may prevent attachment by the adhesive agent layer 3 of the linerless label 1 even in a case where the linerless label 1 or the like is pressed against and fed.
- a heat-curable silicone resin may also be easily set to a C hardness by a relatively simple preparation and manufacturing process under thermosetting conditions.
- the silicone resin is in a gel form of the appropriate softness.
- the linerless label 1 also possesses a necessary frictional force (gripping power) with respect to a belt-shaped member such as the linerless label 1 and a superior anti-wear property.
- the planten roller 20 also includes the necessary release property and the gripping force with respect to belt-shaped member such as a linerless label 1 or a label with a liner. Accordingly, the planten roller 20 is able to provide a stable feeding and guidance function.
- the elastic property of the outer layer elastic material member 24 approached that of a rubber material.
- an adhesive property of a surface of the outer layer elastic material member 24 is dramatically increased, and the outer layer elastic material member 24 is easily worn down.
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 has a thickness T (see, FIGS. 2 ) of 10 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the thickness T is less than 10 ⁇ m, unevenness occurs in the thickness of the outer layer elastic material member 24 , and obtaining a stable release property or a gripping force is difficult.
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 is compromised as a coating film of the inner layer elastic material member in the planten roller 20 , and thus easily broken.
- a rolling-angle test is described (measurement method of a rolling-angle) as a test that evaluates a non-stick property (release property) for an elastic body roller according to the present disclosure.
- the linerless label 1 is fixed on top of a flat horizontal base, facing upwards towards the adhesive agent layer 3 thereof.
- An adhesive agent (20 microns thickness) having an emulsion strength adhesiveness is used as an adhesive agent test standard.
- the planten roller 20 is disposed on the adhesive agent layer 3 as a test body, a 2 Kg weight is applied for 15 seconds from the top of the planten roller 20 , and the planten roller 20 is attached to the linerless label 1 .
- the weight is removed after 15 seconds, such that a first end portion of a parallel base plate is fixed to an axial line of the planten roller 20 and the base plate continues to slant via a gradual rise in a second end.
- the angle of gradient decreases, the easy-to-roll planten roller 20 possesses a high non-stick property, and the linerless label 1 is appropriately fed.
- a linerless label 1 and label with liner feeding test was conducted using the planten roller 20 constructed as described above.
- thermosetting silicone rubber having an A hardness of 50 degrees as the inner layer elastic material member 23 having a thickness T of 50 ⁇ m at outer periphery
- a platen roller 20 according to the present disclosure that forms an outer layer elastic material member 24 composed of a thermosetting silicone rubber (silicone gel) having an C hardness of 50 degrees and a conventional cylindrically-shaped platen roller (comparative product) that does not have the outer layer elastic material member 24 were prepared, and the linerless label 1 and the label with liner were fed.
- the rolling angle that measured was below 15 degrees based on the previously described method.
- the rolling angle that measured was below 9 degrees. Accordingly, it was understood that a release property at a time of feeding the linerless label and a gripping force at a time of feeding the linerless label were sufficient for the elastic body roller.
- a wear level (a decrease in a diameter) of the elastic body roller due to wear was 1% or less after the linerless label or the label with liner was fed a distance of 20 Km using a elastic body roller in a printer such as the thermal printer 8 .
- the wear level of the planten roller 20 was 0.05% or less after the linerless label 1 was fed for a distance of 20 Km. Moreover, the wear level of the planten roller 20 at the time the label with liner was fed a distance of 50 Km was 0.5% or less. Accordingly, the planten roller 20 was found to have a sufficient anti-wear property.
- the linerless label 1 was wound around a comparative product (planten roller that is not formed with an outer layer elastic material member 24 ) after being fed for a distance of 0.5 Km. As a result, a measured rolling angle exceeding 70 degrees was found to be incompatible for a usage thereof.
- the planten roller 20 having the outer layer elastic material member 24 coated onto the inner layer elastic material member 23 was constructed to have a release property and a gripping force.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the planten roller 30 ; and FIG. 4 shows an axial direction essential part enlarged cross-sectional view.
- a plurality of cross-sectional V-shaped inner layer grooves 31 are formed along a circumferential direction of the planten roller 30 , in the inner layer elastic material member 23 (thermosetting silicone rubber having an A hardness of 50 degrees) in the previously-mentioned planten roller 20 (first embodiment of the present disclosure, see FIG. 1 ).
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 composed of a thermosetting silicone resin having a C hardness of 15 degrees is formed on an outer periphery thereof.
- the inner layer elastic material member 23 is configured with a flat inner layer platform-shaped apex portion between of the inner layer grooves 31 .
- a plurality of outer layer grooves (coating layer grooves) 33 are formed along a circumferential direction of the inner layer elastic material member 23 such that the position of which conforms to the position of the inner layer grooves 31 formed on the outer layer elastic material member 24 that is formed on the outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member 23 .
- a cross-section of the outer layer grooves 33 has an approximate V-shape (see, FIG. 4 ).
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 is formed as a flat outer layer platform-shaped apex portion 34 between the outer layer grooves.
- the outer layer elastic material member 24 has a thickness T of 10 to 100 ⁇ m, similarly to the planten roller 20 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.
- a multi-angular shape other than a V-shape such as a U-shape, a conical shape, or a rectangular shape was employed, as the cross-sectional shape of the inner layer grooves 31 and the outer layer grooves 33 .
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a pitch P of 500 to 1500 ⁇ m.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a width W of 25 to 1300 ⁇ m, and more preferably a width W of 50 to 500 ⁇ m.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a width W of less than 25 ⁇ m, a contact area between a belt-shaped member such as the linerless label 1 is increased. As a result, the release property of the planten roller 30 may be decreased.
- the planten roller 30 decreases the pressing force of a part on the linerless label 1 or the like by the application of the appropriate pressure from the adhesive agent layer 3 side, such that printing precision may be decreased with respect to a label piece 1 A in a printing part 12 of the thermal printer 8 , e.g., printing omissions or the like may occur.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a height H of 25 to 500 ⁇ m, and more preferably a height H of 50 to 400 ⁇ m.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a height H of less than 25 ⁇ m, a contact area between a platen roller and a belt-shaped member, such as the linerless label 1 , is increased. As a result, the release property of the planten roller 30 may be decreased.
- the planten roller 30 decreases the pressing force of a part on the linerless label 1 or the like by the application of the appropriate pressure from the adhesive agent layer 3 side, such that printing precision may be decreased with respect to a label piece 1 A in a printing part 12 of the thermal printer 8 , e.g., printing omissions or the like may occur.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a groove angle G of 50 to 120 degrees, and more preferably a groove angle G of 60 to 100 degrees.
- the inner layer grooves 31 have a groove angle G of less than 50 degrees, a contact area between a belt-shaped member, such as the linerless label 1 , is increased. As a result, the release property of the planten roller 30 may be decreased.
- the planten roller 30 decreased the pressing force of a part on the linerless label 1 or the like by the application of the appropriate pressure from the adhesive agent layer 3 side, such that printing precision may be decreased with respect to a label piece 1 A in a printing part 12 of the thermal printer 8 , e.g., printing omissions or the like may occur.
- a feeding test for the linerless label 1 and the label with liner 1 was performed using a planten roller 30 configured as described above.
- a outer layer elastic material member 24 was formed from a thermosetting silicone resin (silicone gel) having a C hardness of 15 degrees, such that a thickness T at an outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member 23 was 50 ⁇ m.
- the pitch P of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 750 ⁇ m
- the width W of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 410 ⁇ m
- the height H of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 350 ⁇ m
- the groove angle G of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 60 degrees.
- a rolling angle measured according to the previously described method was less than 13 degrees, after feeding the linerless label 1 for a distance of 20 Km via the planten roller 30 according to the present disclosure. Similarly, a rolling angle measured after feeding the linerless label 1 for a distance of 20 Km was less than 9 degrees. It was understood that a release property at a time of feeding the linerless label and a gripping force at a time of feeding the linerless label were sufficient for the elastic body roller.
- a feeding test for the linerless label 1 and the label with a liner was conducted using a modified planten roller 30 .
- the height H and the width W of the inner layer grooves 31 of the planten roller 30 used in the above test were modified.
- a outer layer elastic material member 24 was formed from a thermosetting silicone resin (silicone gel) having a C hardness of 15 degrees, such that a thickness T at an outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member 23 was 50 ⁇ m.
- the pitch P of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 750 ⁇ m
- the width W of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 87 ⁇ m
- the height H of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 75 ⁇ m
- the groove angle G of the inner layer grooves 31 was configured to be 60 degrees.
- a rolling angle measured according to the previously described method was less than 18 degrees, after feeding the linerless label 1 for a distance of 20 Km via the planten roller 30 according to the present disclosure. Similarly, a rolling angle measured after feeding the label with liner for a distance of 20 Km was less than 9 degrees. Accordingly, it was understood that a release property at a time of feeding the linerless label and a gripping force at a time of feeding the label with liner were sufficient for the elastic body roller.
- a rolling angle test was performed on a planten roller (comparative product) formed only with the inner layer grooves 31 (without the outer layer elastic material member 24 ) configured such that the pitch P was 750 ⁇ m, the width W was 87 ⁇ m, the height H was 75 ⁇ m, and the groove angle G was 60 degrees, after feeding the linerless label 1 for a distance of 1 Km.
- the planten roller remained attached to the adhesive agent layer even in a case where the base plate of the test machine was slanted 70 degrees. Accordingly, it was found that the planten roller lacked a release property that could withstand the application thereof. Moreover, it was determined that in cases where a label with a liner was fed, slippage occurred, feeding could not be sustained for a specified distance, and sufficient gripping force was lacking for the planten roller.

- the groove angle G of the inner layer grooves 131 was configured to be 60 degrees.
- the rolling angle that was measured for the linerless label 1 was below 13 degrees and the rolling angle that was measured for the label with liner was below 9 degrees. Accordingly, it was understood that in both instances there was sufficient release property and a gripping force for the elastic body roller.
- a feeding test for the linerless label 1 and the label with a liner was conducted using a modified planten roller 130 .
- the height H and the width W of the inner layer grooves 131 of the planten roller 130 used in the above test were modified.
- An outer layer elastic material member 124 in the planten roller 130 was formed from a thermosetting silicone resin (silicone gel) having a C hardness of 15 degrees, such that a thickness T at an outer periphery of the inner layer elastic material member 123 was 50 ⁇ m.

- the stable feeding of the linerless label 1 may be accomplished even if a region of an axial direction center portion of the roller shaft 121 was configured to be partially flat.
- the first and second embodiments of the present invention have been descriptions using a printer planten roller as an example of an elastic body roller.
- various rollers may be used, e.g., a guide roller, or a nip roller.
