Abstract

The invention relates to a label tape of successive individual labels which are to be appended to articles for sale and which are separated from one another by separating cuts extending transversely with respect to the tape length direction, said tape consisting of a carrier layer formed of polyethylene film and of a printable paper layer firmly bonded to said film.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Etikettenband bestehend aus zwei miteinander fest verbundenen Schichten mit aufeinanderfolgenden, zum Anhängen an Warenartikeln bestimmten, Einzeletiketten, zwischen denen quer zur Bandlängsrichtung verlaufende Trennschnitte angebracht sind. Ein solches Etikettenband ist aus der US-A-3 947 983 bekannt.The invention relates to a label tape consisting of two layers firmly connected to one another with successive individual labels intended to be attached to articles of goods, between which separating cuts running across the longitudinal direction of the tape are made. Such a label tape is known from US-A-3 947 983.

In Kaufhäusern, Supermärkten und dgl. ist es üblich, daß an den einzelnen Warenartikeln Etiketten angebracht sind, auf denen der Verkaufspreis aufgedruckt ist. Sehr häufig sind die Etiketten dabei unmittelbar auf den Warenartikel aufgeklebt, und es gibt für diesen Typ von Etiketten eigene Handetikettiergeräte, mit deren Hilfe das Etikett mit dem jeweiligen Preis bedruckt und dann auf den Warenartikel aufgeklebt werden kann. In diesen Handetikettiergeräten findet ein Etikettenband Anwendung, das aus einem kontinuierlichen Trägerband und aus darauf angebrachten Einzeletiketten besteht, zwischen denen jeweils Trennschnitte angebracht sind. Im Handetikettiergerät wird jeweils ein Etikett bedruckt und von einer Transportvorrichtung um eine Spendkante bezogen, an der es sich vom Trägerband ablöst, so daß es in eine Spendstellung unterhalb einer Andrückrolle gelangt. Durch Abrollen dieser Rolle auf dem Warenartikel kann das Etikett dann aufgeklebt werden. Diese Art von Etiketten eignet sich jedoch nur für Waren, an denen sie unmittelbar durch Ankleben befestigt werden können.In department stores, supermarkets and the like. It is common for labels to be affixed to the individual articles of goods on which the sales price is printed. Very often the labels are glued directly onto the article of goods, and there are separate hand-labeling devices for this type of label, with the aid of which the label can be printed with the respective price and then glued onto the article of goods. In these hand labeling devices, a label tape is used, which consists of a continuous carrier tape and individual labels attached to it, between which separating cuts are made. In the hand-held labeling device, a label is printed and drawn by a transport device around a dispensing edge at which it detaches from the carrier tape, so that it reaches a dispensing position below a pressure roller. The label can then be stuck on by unrolling this roll on the article. However, this type of label is only suitable for goods to which they can be attached directly by gluing.

Bei Textilien ist ein Anbringen von Preisetiketten durch Ankleben nicht möglich. Daher werden bei Textilien Anhängeetiketten verwendet, die üblicherweise aus Karton bestehen und mit Hilfe eines aus Kunststoff bestehenden Anhängeelements an Textilien angehängt werden. Das Anhängeelement besteht dabei aus einem Kunststoffstäbchen, das einen verdickten oder verbreiterten Kopf aufweist, an den sich ein schlanker Schaft anschließt, an dessen dem Kopf gegenüberliegenden Ende ein umklappbares Querstäbchen angebracht ist. Beim Anbringen dieser Karton-Etiketten wird das Querstäbchen in einer zum Schaft parallelen Länge durch ein Loch im Etikett und in das Gewebe des Textilartikels geschoben, worauf das Querstäbchen dann das Anhängeelement aufgrund einer Widerhakenwirkung am Textilartikel festhält. Der verbreiterte Kopf ist größer als das Loch im Karton-Etikett, so daß das Etikett sicher mit dem Textilartikel verbunden ist. Für diese Art von Etiketten werden eigene Druckgeräte benötigt, mit denen der Preisaufdruck auf dem Etikett angebracht werden kann. Dies bedeutet, daß in Warenhäusern je nach der Art mit Preisetiketten zu versehenen Waren verschiedenartige Etikettendruckgeräte vorhanden sein müssen.In the case of textiles, price labels cannot be attached by gluing. Therefore, hang tags are used for textiles, which usually consist of cardboard and are attached to textiles with the help of a hanging element made of plastic. The attachment element consists of a plastic rod, which has a thickened or widened head, which is followed by a slim shaft, at the end opposite the head of which a foldable cross rod is attached. When attaching these cardboard labels, the cross rod is pushed in a length parallel to the shaft through a hole in the label and into the fabric of the textile article, whereupon the cross rod then holds the attachment element to the textile article due to a barb effect. The widened head is larger than the hole in the cardboard label so that the label is securely attached to the textile article. This type of label requires its own printing devices with which the price can be printed on the label. This means that, depending on the type of goods to be provided with price labels, various types of label printing devices must be present in department stores.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etikettenband zu schaffen, das in dem bisher für das Bedrucken und Anbringen Selbstklebeetiketten verwendeten Handetikettiergeräten bedruckt werden kann und dessen Einzeletiketten an Textilien angehängt werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a label tape that can be printed in the previously used for printing and attaching self-adhesive labels and the individual labels can be attached to textiles.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Band aus einer von einer Polyäthylenfolie gebildeten Trägerschicht und aus einer bedruckbaren Papierschicht besteht.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the tape consists of a carrier layer formed by a polyethylene film and of a printable paper layer.

Aus der US-A-3 657 043 ist die gleiche Materialkombination für einzelne Etiketten bekannt, dort werden diese jedoch aus einem Bogen herausgeslanzt. Die Polyäthylenfolie dient zum Wolben des Etiketts in bestimmte, vorgegebene Formen.The same material combination for individual labels is known from US-A-3 657 043, but there they are punched out of a sheet. The polyethylene film is used to bulge the label into certain, predetermined shapes.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Etikettenband sind die Trägerschicht und die Papierschicht untrennbar miteinander verbunden, so daß sich die Papierschicht im Gerät nicht wie bei den bisher verwendeten, mit Selbstklebeetiketten versehenen Etikettenbändern von der Trägerschicht ablöst, sondern die Papierschicht und die Trägerschicht bleiben zusammen, was bedeutet, daß das Etikettenband im Handetikettiergerät nur bedruckt wird, worauf die bedruckten Etiketten nach dem Heraustreten des Etikettenbandes aus dem Gerät an den Trennschnitten voneinander getrennt und dann einzeln an Textilartikeln angebracht werden können. Die als Trägerschicht verwendete Polyäthylenfolie gibt dem Etikett die notwendige Festigkeit, damit das Band ohne abzureißen zum Bedrucken sicher durch das Handetikettiergerät transportiert werden kann. Andererseits läßt sie sich wegen des Anbringens der Trennschnitte von Hand ohne weiteres zum Ablösen bei Einzeletiketten durchreißen.In the label tape according to the invention, the carrier layer and the paper layer are inseparably connected to one another, so that the paper layer in the device does not separate from the carrier layer as in the previously used label tapes provided with self-adhesive labels, but the paper layer and the carrier layer remain together, which means that this Label tape is only printed in the hand-held labeling device, whereupon the printed labels can be separated from one another at the separating cuts after the label tape has emerged from the device and can then be attached individually to textile articles. The polyethylene film used as the backing layer gives the label the necessary strength so that the tape can be safely transported through the hand labeling device without tearing for printing. On the other hand, due to the fact that the separating cuts have been made by hand, it can easily be torn off to remove individual labels.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Papierschicht aus Standard-OCR-Papier besteht. Die Klappenstanzung im Etikett ermöglicht das Hindurchstoßen eines Aufhängeelements der oben näher beschriebenen Art, mit dessen Hilfe das Etikett an Textilartikeln angehängt werden kann.In an advantageous development of the invention it is provided that the paper layer consists of standard OCR paper. The flap punching in the label enables a hanging element of the type described in more detail to be pushed through, with the aid of which the label can be attached to textile articles.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nun unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichung näher erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Figur 1 einen Abschnitt des erfindungsgemäßen Etikettenbands und
  • Figur 2 einen Schnitt durch das Etikettenband längs der Linie 11-11 von Fig. 1.
An embodiment of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show it :
  • Figure 1 shows a portion of the label tape according to the invention and
  • 2 shows a section through the label tape along the line 11-11 of FIG. 1st

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Etikettenband 1 enthält mehrere gleiche, hintereinander angeordnete Einzeletiketten 2, die durch Trennschnitte 3, die quer zur Bandlängsrichtung verlaufen, voneinander getrennt sind. Diese Trennschnitte ermöglichen es, die Einzeletiketten voneinander zu trennen, nachdem sie in einem herkömmlichen Handetikettiergerät bedruckt worden sind, und sie dienen gleichzeitig auch als Eingriffspunkte für die in einem solchen herkömmlichen Gerät zum Einsatz kommende Bandtransportvorrichtung. Ein Etikettiergerät, in dem das hier zu beschreibende Etikettenband verwendet werden kann, ist beispielsweise in der DE-OS-30 30 138 dargestellt und beschrieben.The label tape 1 shown in the drawing contains several identical individual labels 2 arranged one behind the other, which are separated from one another by separating cuts 3 which run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tape. These separating cuts make it possible to separate the individual labels from one another after they have been printed in a conventional hand-held labeling device, and at the same time they also serve as engagement points for the tape transport device used in such a conventional device. A labeling device in which the label tape to be described here can be used is, for example, in the DE-OS-30 30 138 shown and described.

Nach Fig. 1 kann auf jedem Einzeletikett 2 ein Beschriftungsfeld 4 angebracht sein, in dem beispielsweise der Name des Warenhauses abgedruckt ist.1, an inscription field 4 can be attached to each individual label 2, in which, for example, the name of the department store is printed.

Jedes Einzeletikett ist mit einer Klappenstanzung 5 versehen, die von einem bogenförmigen, nicht ganz geschlossenen Einschnitt gebildet ist. An der Klappenstanzung 5 kann ein Aufhängeelement durch das Einzeletikett hindurchgeschoben werden, mit dessen Hilfe das Etikett dann an einem Textilartikel angehängt werden kann.Each individual label is provided with a flap punch 5, which is formed by an arcuate, not completely closed incision. On the flap punch 5, a hanging element can be pushed through the individual label, with the aid of which the label can then be attached to a textile article.

Der Schnitt von Fig. 2 zeigt den Aufbau des Etikettenbandes. Auf der Trägerschicht 6 aus einer Polyäthylenfolie ist in fester Verbindung eine Papierschicht 7 angebracht, die aus einem gut bedruckbaren Papier, beispielsweise aus einem OCR-Papier besteht. Als OCR-Papier wird ein Papier bezeichnet, dessen Oberfläche ein gutes Reflexionsvermögen hat und Druckfarbe gut aufnimmt ohne daß es zu einem Fließen der Farbe kommt. Diese Eigenschaften sind die Voraussetzung dafür, daß gedruckte Zeichen mit Hilfe optischer Lesevorrichtungen maschinell gelesen werden können. Ein solches OCR-Papier wird in den von der Firma Esselte Meto Deutschland GmbH, Hirschhorn, unter der Bezeichnung « OCR-Etiketten • angebotenen Selbstklebeetiketten verwendet. Das beschriebene Etikettenband ermöglicht die Verwendung der bisher zum Bedrucken und Anbringen von Selbstklebeetiketten verwendeten Handetikettiergeräte auch zum Bedrucken von Etiketten, die nicht durch Kleben sondern durch Anhängen an Warenartikeln angebracht werden können.The section of Fig. 2 shows the structure of the label tape. On the carrier layer 6 made of a polyethylene film, a paper layer 7 is attached in a fixed connection, which consists of a well printable paper, for example an OCR paper. OCR paper is a paper whose surface has good reflectivity and absorbs printing ink well without causing the ink to flow. These properties are the prerequisite for the fact that printed characters can be read mechanically with the aid of optical reading devices. Such OCR paper is used in the self-adhesive labels offered by Esselte Meto Deutschland GmbH, Hirschhorn, under the name “OCR-Labels”. The label tape described enables the use of the hand-held labeling devices previously used for printing and attaching self-adhesive labels, also for printing labels that cannot be attached by gluing but by attaching them to goods.
