Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Etikettenband gemäß dem ersten Teil von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a label tape according to the first part of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Etikettenband ist aus der DE-A-1 761 575 bekannt.Such a label tape is known from DE-A-1 761 575.

Derartige Etikettenbänder dienen dazu, die einzelnen Etiketten mittels geeigneter Geräte beispielsweise auf Verkaufsartikel aufzubringen, wobei die periodischen Kurven jedes Einzeletikett in mindestens drei Abschnitte zerteilen, die sich dann, wenn versucht wird, ein Einzeletikett von einem Artikel, auf dem es haftet, abzulösen, leicht voneinander lösen, so daß das unbefugte Übertragen eines Etiketts von einem Artikel auf einen anderen erschwert ist. In der US-PS 3 221 427 werden "selbstzerstörende" Klebebänder mit zwei in Längsrichtung des Bandes verlaufenden, durchgehenden, periodischen Schnittlinien beschrieben, die teilweise quer zur Längsrichtung des Bandes verlaufen und deren Krümmungen Winkel von weniger als 90° einschließen. Allerdings sind diese Bänder nicht in Etikettenabschnitte aufgeteilt.Such label tapes are used to apply the individual labels, for example, to sales items using suitable devices, the periodic curves of each individual label being divided into at least three sections which, when an attempt is made to detach a single label from an item on which it is adhering, easily detach from each other so that the unauthorized transfer of a label from one article to another is difficult. US Pat. No. 3,221,427 describes "self-destructive" adhesive tapes with two continuous, periodic cut lines running in the longitudinal direction of the tape, some of which run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tape and whose curvatures include angles of less than 90 °. However, these tapes are not divided into label sections.

Wie z.B. aus der DE-AS 1 217 769 bekannt, bei der jedoch jeweils nur eine einzige periodische Kurve pro Etikettenband verwirklicht ist, sind die periodischen Kurven meist nicht als durchgehende Schnittlinien ausgebildet, sondern sie weisen verhältnismäßig kleine Unterbrechungen auf, so daß Papierbrücken bestehen bleiben, die die Abschnitte zusammenhalten und das Spenden des Etiketts ermöglichen, also das Ausgeben und das Aufbringen mittels eines Geräts, wobei das Etikett von dem Trägerband, in das die Schnittlinien nicht hinreichen, gelöst wird. Die Schnittlinien können auch durchgehend ausgebildet sein, die Abschnitte der Etiketten halten dann beim Ausgeben des Etikettes durch Leimbrücken zusammen.Such as. Known from DE-AS 1 217 769, in which however only a single periodic curve is implemented per label tape, the periodic curves are usually not designed as continuous cut lines, but rather have relatively small interruptions, so that paper bridges remain which remain hold the sections together and allow the label to be dispensed, that is to say dispensing and application by means of a device, the label being detached from the carrier tape into which the cutting lines do not extend. The cutting lines can also be continuous, the sections of the labels then hold together by glue bridges when the label is dispensed.

Bei Etikettenbändern nach der DE-OS 1 761 575 sind die periodischen Kurven als Sinuskurven ähnlichen wellenförmige Kurven ausgebildet, die quer zur Längsrichtung des Etikettenbandes jeweils eine maximale Ausdehnung von nur etwa 8 % der quer zur Längsrichtung des Etikettenbandes gemessenen Breite eines Einzeletiketts haben und daher relativ flach sind. Die Kurven, die die Schnittlinien bilden, verlaufen bei diesen bekannten Bändern zueinander völlig parallel und die Schnittlinienmuster in Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands gesehen wiederholen sich bei jedem vierten Etikett. Es besteht daher immer noch die Möglichkeit, daß ein Abschnitt eines auf einen Gegenstand aufgebrachten Etiketts unbefugt gelöst wird und in ein anderes Etikett eingefügt wird, ohne daß diese Fälschung leicht bemerkt wird.In the case of label tapes according to DE-OS 1 761 575, the periodic curves are designed as wavy curves similar to sinusoidal curves, each of which has a maximum extension of only about 8% of that transverse to the longitudinal direction of the label tape Longitude of the label tape measured width of a single label and are therefore relatively flat. In these known tapes, the curves which form the cutting lines run completely parallel to one another and the cutting line patterns seen in the longitudinal direction of the label tape are repeated for every fourth label. Therefore, there is still the possibility that a portion of a label attached to an object is unauthorized to be removed and inserted into another label without the counterfeit being easily noticed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Fälschungssicherheit der erwähnten Etiketten zu erhöhen.The object of the invention is to increase the security against forgery of the labels mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird die in Anspruch 1 definierte Erfindung gelöst.This object is achieved by the invention defined in claim 1.

Vorteile der Erfindung liegen darin, daß deswegen, weil die Teilung der periodischen Schnittlinien und der die Etiketten voneinander trennenden Schnitte voneinander abweicht, insbesondere teilerfremd ist, sehr viele Etiketten zwischen zwei hinsichtlich der Schnittlinien völlig gleichen Etiketten liegen. Insbesondere dann, wenn die Schnittlinien nahezu quer zur Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands verlaufende Teile haben, können trotz lediglich geringfügiger Abweichung der Lage der Schnittlinien auf unmittelbar aufeinander folgenden Etiketten eines einzigen Etikettenbandes Versuche, ein neues Etikett aus nicht zueinander gehörenden Teilen anderer Etiketten zusammenzusetzen, leicht erkannt werden, insbesondere wenn das Etikett auf einem Gegenstand aufgebracht ist, der sich in seiner Farbe von der Etikettenfarbe deutlich unterscheidet. Da die Etikettenhöhe größer ist als die Periodenlänge der Schnittkurven, vorzugsweise mindestens 1,5 mal so groß, weiter vorzugsweise aber nicht größer als die zehnfache Periodenlänge, ergibt sich bei nicht genau zueinander passenden Etikettenabschnitten eine leichte Erkennbarkeit einer Fälschung.Advantages of the invention lie in the fact that, because the division of the periodic cutting lines and the cuts separating the labels from one another deviates from one another, in particular being relatively prime, there are very many labels between two labels that are completely identical with regard to the cutting lines. In particular, if the cut lines have parts running almost transversely to the longitudinal direction of the label tape, attempts can be made to assemble a new label from parts of other labels that do not belong to one another, despite only a slight deviation in the position of the cut lines on immediately successive labels of a single label tape. can be easily recognized, especially if the label is applied to an object that is clearly different in color from the label color. Since the label height is greater than the period length of the cutting curves, preferably at least 1.5 times as large, but more preferably not greater than ten times the period length, a counterfeit is easily recognizable in the case of label sections which do not match exactly.

Weiterhin ist von Vorteil, daß sich für einen beidseits durch gegeneinander versetzte kurvenförmige Schnittlinien begrenzten Abschnitt des Etiketts eine stark unregelmäßige, bizarre Form ergibt, die das Austauschen gegen einen anderen Abschnitt zum Zweck der Fälschung weiter erschwert. Selbst ein genau passender Abschnitt kann nur mit Mühe passend ins aufgeklebte Etikett eingesetzt werden.Another advantage is that for a section of the label which is delimited on both sides by mutually offset curved cutting lines, a strongly irregular, bizarre shape results, which further complicates the exchange for another section for the purpose of forgery. Even a precisely fitting section can only be inserted into the glued label with difficulty.

Beim Ausgeben der einzelnen Etiketten bekannter Etikettenbänder mittels der Etikettiergeräte besteht die Möglichkeit, daß sich die einzelnen Abschnitte des Etiketts voneinander lösen, sofern nicht ausreichend kräftige Papierbrücken vorhanden sind. Kräftige Papierbrücken steigern allerdings die Wahrscheinlichkeit, daß ein Etikett unbefugt von einem etikettierten Gegenstand als Ganzes abgelöst und auf einen anderen Gegenstand aufgebracht werden kann.When dispensing the individual labels of known label tapes by means of the labeling devices, there is the possibility that the individual sections of the label separate from one another, provided that there are not sufficiently strong paper bridges. Strong paper bridges, however, increase the likelihood that an unauthorized label can be detached from a labeled item as a whole and applied to another item.

Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, daß deswegen, weil die periodischen Schnittlinien, von denen im allgemeinen lediglich zwei vorhanden sein werden, nicht parallel zueinander verlaufen, die Stabilität des Etiketts beim Spenden mittels herkömmlicher Geräte verbessert ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, verhältnismäßig schmale Papierbrücken (im Vergleich zur Länge der Schnittlinie) vorzusehen, und dennoch kann das Etikett in unversehrtem Zustand auf einen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand aufgebracht werden.Another advantage is that because the periodic cut lines, generally only two of which will be present, are not parallel to one another, the stability of the label when dispensing using conventional equipment is improved. This enables relatively narrow paper bridges (compared to the length of the cutting line) to provide, and yet the label can be applied in an intact state to an object to be labeled.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Ansprüchen 2 und 3 ist von Vorteil, daß die Fälschungssicherheit noch weiter verbessert werden kann, insbesondere wenn Teile der Schnittlinien gegenüber der Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands und somit der Vorschubrichtung beim Spenden des Etiketts einen verhältnismäßig steil geneigten Verlauf haben.In the embodiment according to claims 2 and 3, it is advantageous that the security against forgery can be further improved, in particular if parts of the cutting lines have a relatively steep incline with respect to the longitudinal direction of the label tape and thus the feed direction when dispensing the label.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Anspruch 4 ist von Vorteil, daß die Schnittlinien Bereiche aufweisen, die unter stark verschiedenen Winkeln angeordnet sind, so daß das Zerreißen des Etiketts beim unbefugten Ablösen von einer Unterlage mit großer Sicherheit erfolgt, unabhängig davon, von welcher Richtung her das Ablösen des Etiketts versucht wird.In the embodiment according to claim 4, it is advantageous that the cutting lines have areas which are arranged at very different angles, so that the tearing of the label when unauthorized detachment from a base takes place with great certainty, regardless of the direction from which the detachment of the label is tried.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Anspruch 5 ist von Vorteil, daß wegen der relativ großen Breite in Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands, die eine einzelne Schnittlinie infolge ihres hinund hergehenden Verlaufs einnimmt, das Zerreißen des Etiketts in seine einzelnen Abschnitte beim unbefugten Ablösen weiter begünstigt wird. Auch werden insbesondere hierbei senkrechte Teile von aufgebrachten Schriftzeichen, insbesondere von Preisangaben, beim Zerreißen des Etiketts in seine einzelnen Abschnitte in senkrechter Richtung unterteilt, so daß das Zusammensetzen eines neuen Etiketts aus nicht zusammengehörenden Teilen anderer Etiketten erschwert ist.In the embodiment according to claim 5, it is advantageous that because of the relatively large width in the longitudinal direction of the label tape, which a single cutting line assumes due to its reciprocating course, the tearing of the label into its individual sections is further promoted in the event of unauthorized removal. Also in this case, in particular, vertical parts of characters applied, in particular price information, are divided in the vertical direction when the label is torn into its individual sections, so that it is difficult to assemble a new label from parts of other labels that do not belong together.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung, die erfindungswesentliche Einzelheiten zeigt, und aus den Ansprüchen.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawing, the details essential to the invention shows, and from the claims.

Die einzige Figur zeigt in einer Draufsicht einen Abschnitt eines Etikettenbands, auf dem drei unmittelbar aufeinander folgende Etiketten angeordnet sind.The single figure shows a top view of a section of a label tape on which three immediately successive labels are arranged.

Das Etikettenband 1 besteht aus einem Trägerband 2, auf dem Etiketten 4 unmittelbar aufeinander folgend angeordnet sind. Die Etiketten 4 weisen auf ihrer Rückseite eine selbstklebende Klebeschicht auf, mit der sie leicht lösbar an dem Trägerband 2 haften und auf eine zu etikettierende Unterlage aufgebracht werden. Die Etiketten 4 sind dadurch gebildet, daß ausgehend von einem Band, bei dem auf dem Trägerband 2 eine durchgehende Papierbahn haftet, diese in einem ersten Stanzwerkzeug mit kurvenförmigen, in der Figur im wesentlichen von oben nach unten verlaufenen Schnittlinien 6 versehen wird und in einem zweiten Stanzvorgang mit quer zur Längsrichtung des Bandes verlaufenden, im Beispiel geraden Schnitten 8 versehen wird, die die Einzeletiketten bilden. Die Schnittlinien 6 weisen einen sägezahnförmigen Verlauf auf, mit einem zur Längsrichtung des Bandes unter einem Winkel von etwa 45° verlaufenden Abschnitt 10 und unter einem Winkel von etwa 70° verlaufenden Abschnitt 12. Diese Abschnitte sind im wesentlichen gerade, die Übergänge zwischen den Abschnitten 10 und 12 sind leicht abgerundet.The label tape 1 consists of a carrier tape 2, on which labels 4 are arranged in direct succession. The labels 4 have on their back a self-adhesive layer with which they adhere easily to the carrier tape 2 and are applied to a base to be labeled. The labels 4 are formed in such a way that, starting from a tape in which a continuous paper web adheres to the carrier tape 2, this is provided in a first punching tool with curved cutting lines 6, which essentially run from top to bottom in the figure, and in a second Stamping process with transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tape, in the example straight cuts 8 is provided, which form the individual labels. The section lines 6 have a sawtooth-shaped course, with a section 10 running at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the longitudinal direction of the band and a section 12 running at an angle of approximately 70 °. These sections are essentially straight, the transitions between the sections 10 and 12 are slightly rounded.

Die Abschnitte 10 weisen jeweils eine durch eine Lücke in dem Stanzwerkzeug gebildete Papierbrücke 14 auf.The sections 10 each have a paper bridge 14 formed by a gap in the punch.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel hat das einzelne Etikett 4 eine Breite von 37 mm und eine Höhe von 19 mm. Der Etikettenhöhe entsprechen etwas mehr als zwei volle Perioden der kurvenförmigen Schnittlinien 6. Die Papierbrücken 14 haben eine Länge von etwa 1,0 mm.In the exemplary embodiment, the individual label 4 has a width of 37 mm and a height of 19 mm. The label height corresponds to somewhat more than two full periods of the curved cutting lines 6. The paper bridges 14 have a length of approximately 1.0 mm.

Die Breite 16, die jede der Schnittlinien 6 quer zur Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands 1 einnimmt, beträgt im Beispiel etwa 5,5 mm und somit etwa 26% der in Längsrichtung des Etikettenband bemessenen Höhe des Etiketts 4 und 15% der Breite des Etiketts.The width 16 which each of the cutting lines 6 takes up transversely to the longitudinal direction of the label tape 1 is in the example approximately 5.5 mm and thus approximately 26% of the height of the label 4 measured in the longitudinal direction of the label tape and 15% of the width of the label.

Die beiden periodischen Schnittlinien 6, die völlig gleich sind, sind in Längsrichtung des Etikettenbands gegeneinander versetzt, so daß eine jeweils zur anderen Schnittlinie weisende Spitze 18 bzw. 18′ dem etwa unter einem Winkel von 45° zur Längsrichtung verlaufenden Abschnitt 14 der jeweils anderen Schnittlinie 6 gegenübersteht, und zwar in der Nähe deren Spitze 18′ bzw. 18.The two periodic cutting lines 6, which are completely the same, are offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the label tape, so that a tip 18 or 18 'pointing to the other cutting line is the section 14 of the other cutting line which extends approximately at an angle of 45 ° to the longitudinal direction 6 faces, namely in the vicinity of the tip 18 'and 18th

Bei anderen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind die beiden Schnittlinien in ihrer Form und/oder Periodenlänge voneinander verschieden. Bei verschiedener Periodenlänge ergibt sich eine ständig wechselnde Konstellation der Schnittlinien zueinander.In other embodiments of the invention, the two cutting lines are different from one another in their shape and / or period length. With different period lengths there is a constantly changing constellation of the cutting lines to each other.
