Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an adhesve protruding from the end of a label or dust, etc. from adhering to a thermal head by a method wherein the title label continuous body includes a release support paper, a plurality of labels to be temporarily attached to the release support paper, of which one main surface, an adhesive layer is formed, and bands which are continuously formed on both sides of the labels on the release support paper. CONSTITUTION:This label continuous body 10 includes a release support paper 12, and on one main surface of the release support paper 12, labels 1 16 on which a adhesive layer 14 made of, e.g., a pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed are temporarily attached. On the surface of the label 16, a heat-sensitive coloring agent is applied. At both ends of the labels 16, two bands 18 are continuously formed with intervals. The band 18 is also temporarily attached on the release support paper 12 by the adhesive layer 14. If the width of a thermal head 26 is as large as to be in contact with the bands 18, even when an interval section between adjacent labels happens to be located under the thermal head 26, the position of the thermal head 26 is not lowered because of the formed bands 18. Therefore, a protruding adhesive from the nd of the label 16 or dust, etc. does not adhere to the thermal head 26.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a label continuum, and in particular, a label that is attached to a product and is used to display the product name, price, manufacturer name, etc. This invention relates to a continuous label temporarily attached to a release mount.

(Prior Art) FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a conventional continuous label body 1, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line ■--■ in FIG.

This label continuous body 1 includes a peelable mount 2. Peeling mount 2
A label 4 on which an adhesive layer 3 is formed is temporarily attached to one main surface of the label. For example, a heat-sensitive coloring agent is applied to the surface of the label 4.

FIG. 8 is an illustrative view showing how various information is printed on the label 4. A platen roller 5 is provided at the bottom of the continuous label body 1 . At the top of the label continuum l,
A thermal head 6 is provided. Since the surface of the label 4 is coated with a heat-sensitive coloring agent, the thermal head 6 comes into contact with the surface of the label 40 to perform predetermined printing.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when using a conventional label continuous body, if the gap between adjacent labels 4 is large, as shown in FIG. When the thermal head 6 reaches the bottom, the position of the thermal head 6 is lowered due to the difference in level, and the thermal head 6 may come into contact with the release mount 2 . In addition, there are cases where adhesive protruding from the edge of the label and sometimes dust adhere to the thermal head, causing damage to the thermal head.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a continuous label body in which adhesive and dust protruding from the edges of the label do not adhere to the thermal head.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a release mount, an adhesive layer is formed on one main surface thereof, a plurality of labels temporarily attached to the release mount, and a plurality of labels that are attached to the release mount without a break on both sides of the labels of the release mount. a band formed;
It is a label continuum.

(Function) Since bands are formed without breaks on both ends of the release mount,
Even if the gap between adjacent labels comes under the thermal head, the position of the thermal head will not drop.

(Effects of the Invention) According to this invention, even if the gap part of the label comes under the thermal head, the position of the thermal head does not fall. Does not adhere to the head.

Therefore, damage to the thermal head due to adhesion of adhesives, dust, etc. can be prevented, and the life of the thermal head can be extended.

The above objects, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
The figure is a sectional view taken along line nn in FIG. 1.

This label continuous body 10 includes a peelable mount 12.

A plurality of labels 16 on which adhesive layers 14 made of, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive are formed are temporarily attached to one main surface of the release mount 12 . A thermosensitive coloring agent is applied to the surface of the label 16. Two bands 18 are seamlessly formed at both ends of the label 16 with an interval between them. The band 18 also has an adhesive layer 14
, it is temporarily attached to the @ release paper 12.

Next, a method for manufacturing this continuous label body 10 will be explained. First, the label paper 20 is temporarily attached onto the release paper 12 whose entire surface is coated with adhesive. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the scoring roller 22 is rotated. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, cuts are formed in the shapes of the label 16 and the band 18. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, unnecessary parts can be removed.

FIG. 5 is an illustrative view showing how various information is printed on the label 16. A platen roller 24 is provided at the bottom of the continuous label body 10.

A thermal head 26 is provided at the top of the continuous label body 10. Since the surface of the label 16 is coated with a heat-sensitive coloring agent, the thermal head 26 is applied to the surface of the label 16.
When the two come in contact with each other, a predetermined printing is performed.

In this embodiment, two bands 18 are seamlessly formed at both ends of the label 160 with an interval between them.

Therefore, as long as the width of the thermal head 26 is large enough to contact the band 18, the band 18 will still be formed even if the gap between adjacent labels is below the thermal head 26.
The position of the thermal head 2.6 does not fall.

Therefore, adhesive and dust protruding from the edge of the label 16 do not adhere to the thermal head 26.

Therefore, according to the present invention, damage to the thermal head due to adhesion of adhesives, dust, etc. can be prevented, and the life of the thermal head can be extended.
