Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tape or sheet for printing by means of a printer, the sheet being printable on its one flat side and having on its other flat side an adhesive layer which is adhesive-free or adhesive-free regions and adhesive Areas which are spaced apart at least in the longitudinal direction of the tape or sheet.
  • a corresponding volume is known from WO 2012/167806 AI.
  • printers that print on tapes, which have an adhesive or adhesive layer there is always the problem that the cutting blades dirty by the adhesive or adhesive and lose their function or the tape is only bad or no longer clean cuts. Cleaning of the cutting device is usually not possible, so that the cutting device must be replaced as a module. It has been found that when using such printers in the logistics sector per year when cutting paper with a continuous and thus uninterrupted adhesive layer, the printers have a high failure rate due to the contamination by the adhesive residues.
  • the equipment and especially the cutting devices must be regularly cleaned and maintained when using paper without interrupted adhesive layer, since the cutting devices must constantly cut through the adhesive layer, in particular sticking the blades.
  • the band known from WO 2012/167806 A1 has on its flat side facing away from the printable flat side an adhesive or adhesive layer which has adhesive-free or adhesive-free areas and adhesive or adhesive areas which at least extend in the longitudinal direction of the belt. are spaced apart.
  • the printer has a sensor device, by means of which the adhesive-free or adhesive-free areas are detectable, so that the tape feeding device can always position the tape for cutting relative to the cutting unit, that the cutting knife always cuts the tape only in the adhesive-free or adhesive-free area and it This advantageously does not lead to a sticking of the cutting unit.
  • a disadvantage of the known from WO 2012/167806 AI band is that the printable flat side with a non-stick or Antiklebetik, e.g. in the form of a silicone layer, must be coated so that the tape can be rolled up.
  • printable tapes which have an adhesive layer, which are arranged on the printable side, wherein the tapes have an additional peelable film, by means of which the adhesive layer is covered, so that the tape can be rolled up.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop the band known from WO 2012/167806 A1 in such a way that the printed and severed areas of the band can be transported safely and do not undesirably stick to other objects due to their adhesive or adhesive layer.
  • the adhesive or adhesive layer is covered by means of a peelable film, a peelable or dissolvable coating.
  • the film is thereby when cutting or
  • the adhesive or adhesive regions are spaced apart from one another by the adhesive-free or adhesive-free regions, at least in the longitudinal direction of extension of the tape or sheet, it is advantageous, as in the case of FIG WO2012 / 167806 AI known band, the tape according to the invention are cut through the adhesive-free or adhesive-free areas, so that the edges of the printer do not stick. As a result, the printer must be much less frequently maintained and cleaned, which greatly reduces the TCO.
  • stamp made from the tape or sheet according to the invention can be canceled by means of a stamp, which would not be possible with a silicone coating, since the stamping ink can be wiped off the silicone coating.
  • the band or sheet according to the invention can be made conditionally from any printable material, in particular paper, such as e.g. Thermal paper or thermal transfer paper, or cardboard.
  • the tape or sheet may have a carrier film whose one flat side has the adhesive layer with the adhesive-free or adhesive-free areas, which in turn is covered with the peelable film or coating.
  • the carrier film itself can also be constructed in multiple layers. It only has to be ensured that the printable side can also be printed with e.g. Stamp ink or fountain pen or other printing or staining colors is writable.
  • the longitudinal sides of the band are not straight, but have points like conventional stamps.
  • the edge regions of the longitudinal sides can likewise have no adhesive layer or adhesive layer, so that when rolled up, as already in
  • the strip or sheet according to the invention additionally has continuous glue-free or adhesive-free strips extending in the direction of longitudinal extension of the strip or sheet, so that the strip or sheet can also be cut through in the longitudinal direction of extension.
  • the tape or sheet may be perforated in the region of the adhesive-free or adhesive-free regions and strips, so that it can be torn out by hand or by machine into smaller parts.
  • the perforation can understandably also be generated by means of the printer, wherein the perforation of the printer is controllable and thus the perforation, if necessary, and at different points of the tape or sheet can be produced.
  • perforations according to the invention makes it possible to print contiguous stamps or labels by means of the tape or sheet according to the invention, which can be easily separated from one another manually only when needed and at the intended location or locations.
  • the tape can be rolled up on a roll.
  • the tape is folded into a stack in the form of a liporellos.
  • the printable layer extends continuously over the entire length of the tape in the longitudinal direction of the tape, advantageously the length of the printable area in the tape longitudinal direction can be determined freely. It is only a cutter or a tear-off necessary to separate the printed tape from the not yet printed tape.
  • the tape is severed only where there is no adhesive or adhesive layer.
  • the adhesive or adhesive layer is covered by at least two film strips extending in the longitudinal direction of the tape, which are arranged side by side in the tape longitudinal direction. It is preferable if the band has only two foil bands, which either adjoin one another or overlap slightly. By using at least two, advantageously exactly two, film tapes, these can be easily removed from the printed tape e.g. be removed by bending the tape from the adhesive / adhesive layer.
  • Fig. 9b cross-sectional view through the curved band according to FIG.
  • FIG. 10 cross-sectional view through an alternative embodiment with partially overlapping foil strips.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the coated with adhesive underside of the known from WO 2012/167806 AI band 1, wherein the adhesive is applied in strip form by means of transverse strips 2 on the tape. Between the adhesive strips 2 are adhesive-free transverse strips 3, in the areas of which by means of a cutting device of a printer, the band is severed.
  • the dashed line S indicates the possible placement of a cutting device.
  • the tape is transported in the longitudinal direction L by means of a transport device.
  • the transport device serves to position the band 1 over the cutting device S.
  • the band has an end face 7 and longitudinal sides 6. To the right of the tape is an enlarged detail of the tape with its adhesive strips 2 shown.
  • the tack-free strips 3 are arranged, wherein the adhesive strips 2 have a width 4 and the non-tacky regions have a width of 5.
  • Die Klebesammlung 2 Sind an den Klebestsammlung 2 an dem KlebstMail 2 anrobe.
  • the widths 4, 5 are arbitrary. Due to the principle, however, it makes sense that the width 5 is chosen as small as possible, so that the best possible adhesion of the band 1 is given.
  • the width 5 depends largely on the dimensioning of the cutting device. That is, it must be ensured that the width 5 is chosen so large that during the cutting process no adhesive or adhesive material contaminates the cutting edges of the cutting device.
  • the width 4 of the adhesive strip 2 should also be made as small as possible, so that the band can be cut at places as close as possible to each other. This ensures that the band can be used in the best possible way.
  • the adhesive strips 2 have a greater width 4 than the tack-free regions 5.
  • the edge regions 8 of the band 1 are formed without adhesive, so that it is ensured that no adhesive exits at the lateral regions of the wound-up band 1.
  • the edge regions 8 should be formed as narrow as possible, so that the edge 6 of the glued-on label or label can not stand out.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-section through the band 1 known from WO 2012/167806 A1.
  • the band 1 has a carrier layer 9, which on its one side, which in particular is the pressure side, has a silicone layer 10 so that this side does not hit the side rolled up tape 1 stick with the tape 2 of the tape 1.

  • the printed tape can be cut by means of a cutting device of a printer known from WO 2012/167806 A1.
  • the printed tape can also be cut manually by means of scissors.
  • perforations extending in the longitudinal direction L are incorporated or can be incorporated by means of a printer.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further possible embodiment of a strip 1 according to the invention which has perforation regions PFL extending in the longitudinal direction L, which are spaced apart from one another.
