Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a label protector and a process of manufacture thereof, which can be used for protecting identification means for displaying; advertising; signalling; labelling and other applications.
  • certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to a label protector characterized by comprising a generally transparent plate with an outside section having a generally linear groove in the midsection of the plate; an inside section having a front half face, a back half face and a straight fold line between the front half face and the back half face, wherein the straight fold line extends on the inside section along the outside section groove; and wherein the front half face and the back half face are capable of being folded to form an inner region between the front half face and the back half face; an adhesive coating with an under side, an upper side and a peelable protective film, wherein the under side is adhered to at least part of the inside section of the generally transparent plate; and, the peelable protective film covers the upper side, whereby after removing the peelable protective film it is possible to place a label over at least part of the inside section and fold the front half face and the back half face to a fastened position enclosing the inner region between the front half face and the back
  • the label protector further comprises a silk-screened layer between the inside section of the transparent plate and of the under side of the adhesive coating, covering at least part of the inside section of the transparent plate.
  • Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process of manufacturing a label protector comprising the steps of laminating the under side of an adhesive coating over the inside section of a generally transparent lamina, maintaining the peelable protective film on the upper side of the adhesive coating; pre-cutting a set of grooves in the outside section of the translucent lamina and in the same step cutting the lamina in separate plates, whereby each groove is essentially in the midsection of each plate.
  • the present invention has several advantages over the prior art. Firstly, when the inner region between the front half face and the back half face of the plate are folded together with the adhesive coating, a label placed therein is enclosed in an essentially hermetic enclosure, protected against external agents.
  • the pre-cut groove in the midsection of the plate allows a user to fold the protector with their own hands, without any special machinery. Therefore, this invention provides an instant display label protector with a very simple constructive arrangement, with an aesthetical appearance, resistance against bad weather and shocks, versatile and low-costing.
  • the invention can also result in an instant label protector that is substantially rigid.
  • the user needs to have a mobile label printer that may print on rigid labels, which is very expensive; or needs to order a pre- fabricated metal or similar tag, with the information pre -printed.
  • the user overcomes this problem, because the instant display label protector can be made of a substantially rigid material, and the information may be printed on site with a common mobile printer or even written by hand, what allows higher versatility.
  • the process of manufacturing the label protector is also very advantageous because it does not require complex steps or heavy machinery for producing the label protectors in large scales. Furthermore, by pre-cutting the groove and cutting the lamina and separating the plates in the same step, it is possible to significantly reduce the production time.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a label protector plate according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of the cross section of the plate groove.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of the cross section of the label protector comprising the plate with an adhesive coating and a peelable protective film.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the label protector, wherein a small part of the peelable protective film is peeled off.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the label protector, wherein half of the peelable protective film is peeled off and a label is positioned on the back half face of the inside section of the plate.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a label protector of another embodiment of the invention, with a silk-screened layer.
  • Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the label protector, including a label, wherein the label protector is partially folded.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the label protector, wherein the label protector is folded.
  • the present invention is directed to a label protector and a process of manufacture thereof.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a label protector (101) according to the present invention, which comprises a generally transparent plate (102) with an outside section (103) having a generally linear groove (104) in the midsection of the plate (102).
  • the inside section (105) which is on the opposite side of the outside section (103), is divided into a front half face (106) and a back half face (107) by a fictitious straight fold line (108) for illustration purposes.
  • the fictitious straight fold line (108) extends on the inside section (105) along the outside section (103) groove (104) and shows the axis on which the front half face (106) and the back half face (107) are folded to form an inner region between the front half face (106) and the back half face (107).
  • FIG. 2 shows an enlarged side view of the cross section of the plate (102) groove
  • the groove shown on Fig. 02 has an inverted 'V shape. Other shapes may be used, such as an inverted 'U' shape, what would depend on the method of cutting and knife used for making the groove and the desired application.
  • the function of the groove (104) is to maintain the plate (102) as a single integral piece that is capable of being manually folded.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged side view of the cross section of the plate (102) with the adhesive coating (109) over the inside section (105) of the plate (102).
  • the adhesive coating (109) can be a double-sided adhesive tape, but other adhesive coatings can be used within the scope of the invention.
  • the adhesive coating has an under side, an upper side and a peelable protective film (110), wherein the under side is adhered to at least part of the inside section (105) of the generally transparent plate (102); and, the peelable protective film (110) covers the upper side, whereby after removing the peelable protective film (110) it is possible to place a label over at least part of the outside section (105), and/or over the upper side of the adhesive coating (109), and fold the front half face (106) and the back half face (107) to a fastened position enclosing the inner region between the front half face (106) and the back half face (107).
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a label protector (101) according to the invention, wherein a small part of the peelable protective film (110) is peeled off.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a label protector (101) according to the invention, wherein half of the peelable protective film (110) is peeled off and a label (111) is positioned on the back half face (107) of the outside section (103) of the plate (102), over the upper side of the adhesive coating (109).
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a label protector (201) according to the invention, with a silk-screened layer (212) covering at least part of the generally transparent plate (202).
  • the silk-screened layer (212) improves the finishing of the label protector (201) and in addition may provide personalized ornamental patterns such as a logo or a design.
  • Part of the inside section (205) of the plate (202) front half face (206) is not covered by the silk-screened layer (212), forming a window (213) whereby the information contained on a label (211) positioned on the back half face (207) is viewed when the label protector (201) is being closed as depicted in Fig. 7 or closed as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the window (213) is generally rectangular, because most of the standard labels sold in the market are rectangular; however, other shapes can be obviously formed.
  • the possibility of silk- screening is very desirable, because of its low cost and flexibility in printing a desired ornamental pattern.
  • the plate can be made of many suitable transparent materials that allow the user to read the information that is on the label.
  • Preferred materials can be plastic materials that are essentially transparent such as polyvinylchloride, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, or polyester.
  • a specially preferred material is the polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), besides providing very good clearness, good resistance against sunlight and impact, and having moderate to high stiffness, it also provides the possibility of pre-cutting the groove with a good finishing, but without necessarily using thermoforming techniques. Furthermore, these aforementioned qualities are obtainable even in thin plates, with a thickness lower than about 0.75mm.
  • the front half face and the back half face have at least one hole each, which allows the passage of a fastening clamp or other means for fastening the folded label protector to the object to be identified.
  • These holes can be made prior to folding the label protector.
  • one or more holes can be made by the user by means of a manual drilling tool for instance.
  • PETG is very advantageous in this situation, because these kind of thin plates are more easily manually perforated, and maintain a good finishing even with a manual perforation, what is generally difficult to obtain with other materials.
  • the use of a PETG plate provides a cost effective and improved solution when compared to other materials.
  • the essentially transparent plastic material can contain pigmented materials in order to provide a desired tonality or ornamental design.
  • Other alternative ways for attaching the label protector to the object to be identified are also within the scope of the invention. For instance, a small magnet, an additional adhesive coating, a hook-and-loop fastener or a tie-pin can be attached to the outside section of the plate, on the rear of the back of the back half face; as well as one or more rivets, bolts or screws, can be used.
  • the plate (102) (202) has a generally rectangular shape, with a transversal midsection groove (104) (204), wherein the length of the transversal midsection groove (104) (204) is smaller than the length of the perpendicular side of the folded label protector (101) (201).
  • the region within the straight fold line (108) (208) and the groove (104) (204) vertex cracks therefore it is more likely that this memory effect is due to the adhesive coating (109) (209) bonding, which is specifically significant when the adhesive coating (109) (209) is a double sided adhesive tape.
  • the use of PETG is also preferred, because as it is possible to use thinner plates, with a deeper groove, the crack occurs essentially linearly along the folding axis, resulting in less or no memory effect forcing the opening of the folded label protector (101) (201).
  • Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process of manufacturing a label protector (101) (201) comprising the steps of laminating the under side of a adhesive coating (109) (209) over the inside section (105) (205) of a generally transparent lamina, maintaining the peelable protective film (110) (210) on the upper side of the adhesive coating (109) (209); pre-cutting a set of grooves in the outside section (103) (203) of the translucent lamina and in the same step cutting the lamina in separated plates (102) (202), whereby each groove (104) (204) is essentially in the midsection of each plate (102) (202).
  • the adhesive coating (109) (209) can be, for instance, a double- sided adhesive tape.
  • an ornamental pattern can be silk-screened over at least part of the inside section of the translucent lamina before laminating the adhesive coating.
