Definitions

  • This invention relates to a linerless label dispenser.
  • the linerless label dispenser, and its associated cutting mechanism are ideally suited for dispensing linerless labels from a roll even when the labels are not perforated on the roll.
  • the dispenser can automatically print the labels just prior to dispensing, and dispenses them in a manner that substantially avoids jamming of the printer or the cutting mechanism.
  • Wiper elements are conventionally used to prevent the accumulation of adhesive on the rotary cutting blade of the cutting mechanism.
  • wiper elements are typically formed of felt or other cloth material which have a tendency to allow the silicone oil necessary to clean the blade to migrate toward the side of the blade which is face down. That is, the silicone oil migrates toward one end of the wiper due to the forces of gravity.
  • an open-celled foam wiper or sponge retains the silicone oil substantially across the entirety of its surface such that the silicone oil is applied to the entire surface of the blade notwithstanding an orientation of the rotary cutter and wiper other than horizontally as intended. It is believed that the enhanced wicking action of the foam material maintains the silicone oil along the entire surface of the wiper element whether it extends horizontally or vertically.
  • the open-celled foam material is the material of choice for the wiper element due to its superior wicking ability.
  • the invention provides a cutting and dispensing mechanism for dispensing labels from a web of linerless labels having a pressure sensitive adhesive face and an adhesive-release material coated face, said mechanism comprising:
  • a further difficulty with linerless label dispensers resides in the tendency of exit rollers of printers to continue to drive the label after the label has been severed from the web by a cutter. If there is insufficient area for the label to rest at the exit port of the housing, then the label can simply fall out of the printer requiring the user to pick the label up off the floor. If the adhesive side falls face down, the label is lost and the user has to print a second label and take the time to remove the label from the floor. Also, the label may catch itself on the exterior of the housing and then swing into contact with the housing itself. This causes the label to stick to the outside of the housing and repeated instances can cause blockage of the exit port of the housing.
  • the invention provides a dispensing mechanism for dispensing linerless labels from a web of linerless labels having a pressure sensitive adhesive face and an adhesive-release material coated face, said mechanism comprising:
  • the exit port of the printer housing is provided with a plate which not only provides a surface area for the label to rest until needed but also serves to lift the label slightly from the guide path of the labels egressing from the printer to avoid the problem of the label getting caught and swinging down into contact with the housing.
  • the upward angle of the plate extends within a range of 5° to about 25° relative to the guide path and an optimum angle is about 10-20°.
  • the plate may extend from the housing about 12.7 mm (1 ⁇ 2 inch) but longer or shorter lengths of plates can be used depending upon the length of the label.
  • the plate can either be coated with a plasma coating or, more preferably, with a textured paint which prevents the label from sticking to the surface.
  • the plate is not an active transport surface for the label material, a textured paint rather than a plasma coating is preferred.
  • the textured paint affords a release surface but not as great a release surface as that provided by a plasma coating.
  • the label can beneficially cling to the plate having the textured paint coating yet can be easily removed when needed. If the printer is orientated on its side, the label is ejected from the printer and grasps the plate so that it is still substantially perpendicular to the floor thus facilitating grasping of the label.
  • feeding linered based material through a printer from a supply has not caused problems for the supply to track through the printer because the stock simply unwinds itself due to the low coefficient of friction created by the release liner.
  • the label supply would not wobble nor would the label stock skew when entering the printing section of the printer.
  • Many conventional label printers are provided with a shaft on which a small hub is provided to accommodate the label material.
  • the size of the hub did not matter with the liner-based stock as there was no additional forces applied to the stock.
  • a very small hub having a contacting area approximately 25% of the contact area of the core of the supply of linered stock, was typically provided.
  • this standard hub did not operate satisfactorily in a linerless environment.
  • Linerless labels due to the absence of the release layer, have a substantially increased peeling force to remove the label material from the next layer of labels due to the pressure sensitive adhesive face on the supply. This creates an additional force which causes tracking problems within the printer.
  • the linerless label material would sometimes be skewed when it entered the printhead or may contact surfaces beyond the active transport surfaces which are not protected with release coatings so that the label material may stick to the unprotected portions of the dispenser.
  • the present invention provides a linerless label dispensing mechanism for dispensing linerless labels from a web of linerless labels comprising:
  • the area covered by the hub can be as high as 100% of the area of the core but a hub combination which covers up to about 75% of the surface area works well.
  • an adapter hub which increases the contact area to 75% for example, for 102 mm (4 inch) wide label web, may fit a 76 mm (3 inch) wide label web affording 100% contact area. Consequently, a single adapter hub may serve a number of different sizes of cores.
  • FIGURE 1 schematically illustrates an exemplary dispenser that may be provided according to the present invention for dispensing linerless labels e.g. in a roll 10 which is a supply of continuous form linerless labels.
  • the linerless labels in the roll 10 may either have perforations between the labels, or may be devoid of perforations.
  • Sensor marks may be provided so that where a label begins and ends may be determined.
  • the dispenser illustrated in FIGURE 1 may include a common housing shown merely in dotted lines schematically at 11 in FIGURE 1.
  • the supply of linerless labels 10 is mounted on a support.
  • the support is illustrated only schematically at 12 in FIGURE 1 and in detail in FIGURE 1A described hereafter.
  • the roll 10 rotates in a direction indicated by arrow 13 as the labels are taken off the roll 10, decreasing in size.
  • the linerless labels forming the roll 10 are -- as is common for all linerless labels -- formed by (see the schematic illustration in FIGURE 3) a substrate 14, typically of paper, with a pressure sensitive adhesive coating 15 on one face thereof and an adhesive release material coating (e.g. silicone) 16 on the other face thereof.
  • the linerless labels preferably pass underneath a plastic guide 18 which engages the release material coating 16 face thereof, and then to an adhesive-release material guide structure 19 which engages the adhesive face 15.
  • the structure 19 comprises a plasma coated ramp, for example disposed at an angle ⁇ with respect to the horizontal (indicated at 20 in FIGURE 1).
  • the angle ⁇ is typically between about 20-35° (e.g. about 27°).
  • the ramp 19 preferably includes an arcuate lead-in portion 21.
  • Linerless labels in continuous form typically pass underneath the sensor 24, such as a conventional optical sensor.
  • the sensor 24 senses either the perforation lines between individual labels of the web 22, or applied marks for that purpose indicating the demarcation between labels.
  • Sensor 24 may cooperate with a computer control 25 or the like, computer control 25 also typically controlling a print head illustrated schematically at 26 in FIGURE 1, and a rotary cutter, illustrated schematically at 27 in FIGURE 1, and in more detail in FIGURE 2. After receiving input from sensor 24 the control 25 properly controls the print head 26 and cutter 27.
  • the print head 26 cooperates with the release material face 16 of the web 22 to print indicia thereon, typically variable indicia under the control of the computer control 25.
  • the printer 26 may be any suitable type that can print on the release material face 16, such as a non-impact printer like an ink jet printer.
  • the print head 26 may be a thermal or thermal transfer print head. Normally the print head 26 cooperates with the print roller 28, which is a silicone roller but may also be plasma coated so as to have adhesive-release properties.
  • the support 30 Downstream in the direction of movement of the label 22, which direction is illustrated by the arrow 29 in FIGURES 1 and 2, is a support 30.
  • the support 30 preferably supports a stripper surface 31, seen in FIGURES 1 through 3, and a stationary anvil blade 32.
  • the stripper surface 31 is preferably a generally planar surface of a block or other shape of metal 33, the surface 31 being plasma coated so that it will not stick to the adhesive 15 which it engages.
  • the stripper surface 31 is disposed at the angle ⁇ (see FIGURE 2) with respect to the horizontal 20, the angle ⁇ typically being about the same as the angle ⁇ , that is between about 20-35°, preferably about 27°.
  • the surface 31 is upwardly directed from the print head 26 toward the rotary cuffing mechanism 27, which has been found to minimize jamming.
  • the surface 31 may include a plurality of upwardly extending extensions 34 formed on at least a part thereof.
  • twenty such extensions 34 may be formed on the surface 31, the total extent of the extensions 34 being between about 5-20% of the width of the linerless label 22 passing thereover.
  • the purpose of the extensions 34 (which are also plasma coated) is to decrease the surface tension of the stripper surface 31 and thereby minimize the possibility of the adhesive sticking thereto. While the extensions 34 are illustrated as dimples in FIGURE 3, they may have any desired operable configuration and relative dimensions.
  • the anvil blade 32 is of hardened steel or the like, and preferably also is plasma coated or covered by textured paint at least the portions thereof that are likely to come into contact with the adhesive 15 of labels being cut.
  • the hardened blade 32 has a portion 36 thereof which projects upwards from the support 30 a distance t and downwardly from the stripper surface 31 at distance s .
  • the amount of upward and downward spacing is preferably between about 0.025-0.2 mm (.001-.008 inches), most preferably between about 0.05-0.1 mm (.002-.004 inches). It has been found that this slight, but significant projection of the portion 36 of the blade 32 also minimizes jamming of the entire dispenser, particularly the print head 26 and the rotary cutter 27.
  • the rotary cutter 27 typically includes a rotary blade 38 mounted on a rotating powered, shaft 39 (e.g. typically powered by an electrical motor under the control of computer control 25).
  • the rotary blade 38 even though it initially engages only the release material face 16 of the web 22 -- may also be plasma coated. Preferably, however, the blade 38 may be coated with a textured paint or varnish.
  • the blade 38 cooperates with the blade 32 to sever the linerless label web 22 into individual labels, such as the individual label 41 illustrated schematically in FIGURE 1 downstream of the rotary cutter mechanism 27 in the direction 29.
  • the rotary cutting mechanism 27 may be an off-the-shelf rotary cutter, such as a Hitachi rotary cutter Model #V15A and provided with a release coating such as textured paint or the like.
  • the web 22 may be retracted slightly (moved in a direction opposite the direction 29), on the order of about 3.2-25 mm (one-eighth to one inch). This would be accomplished by the computer control 25 reversing the direction of the print roll 28, or reversing the direction of other conveyance mechanisms (such as rollers, belts, or the like) that may be associated with the dispenser of FIGURE 1, but are not illustrated in FIGURE 1.
  • an exit roller 43 Downstream of the cutter 27 an exit roller 43 may be provided, while the exit roller 43 is not essential, it does help in dispensing cut labels 41 along a predetermined path through an exit opening 44 in the housing 11.
  • a plate 47 is carried by the housing and extends outwardly from that side of the exit opening 44 facing the pressure sensitive adhesive face 15 of labels passing through the exit opening. The plate makes an acute angle y with the predetermined path such that it converges with the path in the downstream direction.
  • the exit roller 43 also is preferably plasma coated, and since it is very important the labels not stick to it (since that would preclude dispensing thereof through the opening 44), the plasma coated surface of the roller 43 may be grooved to reduce the overall surface tension of the roller 43.
  • FIGURE 4 One configuration the grooving might take is illustrated schematically in FIGURE 4 where annular depressions 45 are provided between annular lands 46.
  • the grooving of the roller 43 need not necessarily be over the entire width thereof, but -- as with the extension 34 of the surface 31 -- may be provided over a portion equal to about 5-20% of a width of a linerless label passing thereover.
  • the exit roller 43 may cooperate with a conventional hold down mechanism, illustrated only schematically at 48 in FIGURE 1.
  • the hold down mechanism may be of any conventional type, engaging the release material coated face 16 of the label 41.
  • it may be another roller either gravity or spring pressed into place, or a low friction material slide either gravity or spring pressed into place, or spring fingers exerting light downward pressure, or other conventional mechanisms.
  • adhesive release surfaces With respect to all of the adhesive release surfaces described above it is preferred that they are plasma coated. However, under some circumstances they may comprise other release materials, such as silicone coatings.
  • the wiper element 50 of the present invention is formed of an open-celled foam sponge-like material.
  • the foam material retains the silicone oil substantially uniformly across its entire surface due to its superior wicking action notwithstanding changes in orientation of the wiper. That is, even with the wiper element on its side, the wicking action of the foam material will pull the silicone oil from any pool or source of oil such that it may be substantially uniformly applied across the cutter blade 38 to maintain the latter clear of adhesive residue.
  • FIGURE 1A there is illustrated a mounting for the supply of labels 10.
  • labels 10 are supplied in roll form about a core 52 preferably formed of a cardboard material.
  • a single hub 54 was mounted on a shaft 56 forming part of the dispenser.
  • the hub was typically approximately 25% of the length, i.e., had a contact area approximately 25% of the contact area available on the interior surface of the core 52. Tracking, wobbling or skewing problems did not occur in the linered labels. However, because the peel strength of linerless labels is substantially greater than the peel strength of linered labels, it has been found that this arrangement does in fact cause skewing and out of track movement of the labels as they pass through the dispenser.
  • an additional adapter hub 58 is provided on the axle 56.
  • the adapter hub 58 has the same diameter as the conventional hub 54.
  • the two hubs combined provide a contact area in excess of 50% of the available contact area along the inside of the core 52.
  • the area covered by the hubs can be as high as 100% of the area of the core but it has been found that a hub combination which covers up to 75% of the available area of the core works well.
