Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive label for a tube, in particular for a laboratory test tube.
- Test tubes with self-adhesive labels are well known. They generally comprise a cylindrical portion intended to receive a self-adhesive label, in particular for identification purposes of said tube and / or its contents.
- a disadvantage with these devices of the prior art concerns the risks of detachment of the longitudinal edges of these labels after bonding, which may present risks of tearing of the label, and therefore an impossibility of identification of the tube.
- the present invention aims to provide a self-adhesive tube label that does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the present invention also aims to provide a self-adhesive tube label which provides improved attachment to a tube, including a test tube.
- the present invention also aims to provide a self-adhesive tube label that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
- the present therefore relates to a self-adhesive label for a tube, said label being substantially rectangular and having on its inner surface gluing means and on its upper surface identification means, said label comprising intermittent cutouts on each longitudinal edge. extending longitudinally along said longitudinal edges.
- said intermittent cuts are regular and extend substantially over the entire length of each longitudinal edge of the label.
- said intermittent cuts are made in the form of slots separated by material bridges.
- the length of the slots is between 1 and 3 mm, advantageously between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, and the length of the material sponges is between 0.1 and 1 mm, advantageously between 0.5 and 0, 7 mm.
- the length of the slots is 1, 9 mm, and the length of the material spits is 0.6 mm.
- each longitudinal edge of the label comprises several series of intermittent cuts spaced transversely.
- said series of intermittent cuts are regularly spaced in the transverse direction.
- the length between the longitudinal edge of the label and the first series of intermittent cuts is 1 mm
- the length between the first series of intermittent cuts and the second series of intermittent cuts is 1 mm
- the length between the second set of intermittent cuts and the third set of intermittent cuts is 1 mm.
- the length of the label is between 35 and 44 mm and the width of the label is between 18 and 29 mm.
- said length is 44 mm
- said width is 25 mm
- the corners of the label are curved with a radius of curvature R of 1 mm.
- the present invention also relates to a tube comprising a cylinder provided on one side of an opening and closed on the other side by an end portion, preferably rounded, a label as described above being glued on said cylinder.
- said tube is a laboratory test tube.
- the volume of the tube is between 1, 8 and 10 ml, and the length of the tube is between 66 and 100 mm.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a test tube provided with a self-adhesive label according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of a standard test tube provided with a self-adhesive label
- FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of a self-adhesive label according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 illustrates a conventional test tube and a suitable adhesive label.
- the tube 10 is formed of a cylinder January 1, having on one side an opening 12, and closed on the other side by an end portion 13.
- This end portion 13 is preferably rounded , advantageously semi-spherical.
- the opening 12 is closed by a plug 15 which can be of any suitable type, and which is therefore shown here only very schematically.
- the tube 10 may be made of glass, especially pyrex, or of suitable plastic material, in particular polypropylene.
- the self-adhesive label 20 is fixed on said cylinder 1 1. It is generally of rectangular shape, having on its inner surface suitable gluing means, and on its upper surface identification means 25, such as a barcode or any appropriate indicator to identify said test tube 10 and / or or its contents. Typically, the label 20 has an indication zone 21 of slightly reduced dimensions with respect to the dimensions of the label and which receives said identification means 25.
- the label 20 is generally made of paper or the like.
- test tubes There are several standard dimensions for the test tubes and therefore also for the associated labels.
- the volume of the test tubes varies from 1.8 to 10 ml, and their length varies from 66 to 100 mm.
- tube manufacturers including Becton Dickinson and Sarstedt, make the following recommendations:
- the length D1 between the edge of the label 20 and the end of the end portion 13 of the tube 10 should be at least 9 mm, advantageously at least 15 mm;
- the length D2 between the edge of the label 20 and the opening 12 of the tube 10 should be at least 10 mm;
- the length D3 between the edge of the indication zone 21 and the tip of the end portion 13 should be at least 20 mm;
- the width of the indication zone 21 should be at least 5 mm smaller than the circumference of the tube 10.
- self-adhesive labels for laboratory test tubes preferably have a length D5 of between 35 and 44 mm and a width D6 of between 18 and 29 mm.
- the lengths D5 and D6 could however be different.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a label 20 made according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention.
- the label 20 has on each longitudinal edge intermittent cuts 26 extending longitudinally along said longitudinal edge.
- these intermittent cuts 26 make it possible to break the force generated in the curved label after gluing, and which seeks to bring the label back to its non-curved plane state. This phenomenon generates a detachment of labels stuck on tubes after a storage time.
- the intermittent cuts 26 of the invention make it possible to prevent and at least greatly delay this detachment of the longitudinal edges of the labels, thus avoiding the aforementioned risks associated with such detachment, in particular with laboratory test tubes.
- said intermittent cuts 26 are regular and extend substantially over the whole of each longitudinal edge of the label 20.
- said intermittent cuts 26 are made in the form of slots separated by material bridges 27.
- the length L1 of the slots 26 is advantageously between 1 and 3 mm, preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, in particular 1, 9 mm.
- the length L2 of the material sponges 27 is advantageously between 0.1 and 2 mm, preferably between 0.5 and 0.7 mm, in particular 0.6 mm.
- each longitudinal edge of the label 20 comprises several series of intermittent cuts 26, 26 ', 26 "transversely spaced
- these series of intermittent cuts 26, 26 ', 26 "are regularly spaced in the transverse direction.
- the length L3 between the longitudinal edge of the label 20 and the first series of intermittent cuts 26 is 1 mm
- the length L4 between the first series of intermittent cuts 26 and the second series of intermittent cuts 26 ' is 1 mm
- the lengths L1 to L5 could be different.
- the gaps L3, L4 and L5 between the longitudinal edges and the series of intermittent cuts 26, 26 ', 26 are not necessarily identical.
- intermittent cuts 26, 26 ', 26 "could be made in different ways, for example holes rather than slots, and intermittent cuts are not necessarily made in a regular manner, nor in the longitudinal direction, nor in the transverse direction.
- the intermittent cuts 26 are made by appropriate means, such as blades, punches or knives. These cuts can be made during the manufacture of the label, or when printing the indication means 25 on the label.
- the invention is more particularly applicable to laboratory test tubes. However, it could generally apply to any self-adhesive label intended to be bonded to a cylindrical tube.
