Description

本発明は、トナー、薬品、化粧品、食料品、飲料水等の粉体や液体が充填される容器の外表面にストレッチラベルを装着するストレッチラベル装着治具及び装着方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a stretch label mounting jig and a mounting method for mounting a stretch label on an outer surface of a container filled with powder or liquid such as toner, medicine, cosmetics, food, and drinking water.

従来、容器として、例えばトナー容器には熱収縮を利用したシュリンクでラベルが貼られている。ラベルの装着によりトナー容器に充填されているトナーが例えばシアン、マゼンタ、イエロー、ブラック等の何れであるかが外部から容易に識別することができる。
そして、これらラベルの容器への貼着によって、トナーを容器に充填する以前に行っていたのでトナー本体への熱の影響は考える必要はなかった。 Conventionally, as a container, for example, a toner container is labeled with a shrink using heat shrinkage. By attaching the label, it is possible to easily identify from the outside whether the toner filled in the toner container is, for example, cyan, magenta, yellow, or black.
Then, since the label was attached to the container before the toner was filled in the container, it was not necessary to consider the influence of heat on the toner body.

しかし、最近ではトナーを容器に充填した状態でその容器外面にラベルを貼る必要性がある場合が生じ、その場合はトナー本体へ熱がかかるシュリンク方式はトナーを変質させることから好ましくない。また熱をかけることに伴う大きな設備が必要であり、地球温暖化に影響を及ぼす二酸化炭素の発生を増やすことにもなる。そのため、近年では熱を必要とせずにラベルの弾力性のみで装着が可能なストレッチラベルが用いられるようになっている。このような傾向はトナー容器に限らず、その他の粉体容器においても同様に言えることである。 However, recently, there is a case where it is necessary to attach a label to the outer surface of the container while the toner is filled in the container. In this case, the shrink method in which heat is applied to the toner main body is not preferable because the toner is deteriorated. In addition, a large facility is necessary for applying heat, which increases the generation of carbon dioxide that affects global warming. Therefore, in recent years, a stretch label that can be attached only by the elasticity of the label without requiring heat has been used. Such a tendency is not limited to the toner container but can be similarly applied to other powder containers.

例えば、炭酸飲料等が充填されるＰＥＴ製ボトル等の容器にストレッチラベルを装着する方法として、ストレッチラベルを筒状に形成し、このストレッチラベルの内面に滑り防止手段を設け、拡縮自在な拡開手段をストレッチラベル内に挿入した後に、該拡開手段でストレッチラベルの該滑り防止手段の部分を拡開し、ストレッチラベルを拡開させた状態で容器に外嵌する方法が知られている（例えば特許文献１参照。）。 For example, as a method of attaching a stretch label to a container such as a PET bottle filled with carbonated beverages, etc., the stretch label is formed in a cylindrical shape, and an anti-slip means is provided on the inner surface of the stretch label, so that it can expand and contract freely. After inserting the means into the stretch label, there is known a method in which the spreading means expands the portion of the anti-slip means of the stretch label and externally fits the container in the expanded state of the stretch label ( For example, see Patent Document 1.)

特公平７−６６２３５号公報Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-66235

しかしながら、従来においては、拡開手段は必ずしも簡単なものとは言えず、また、ストレッチラベルの滑り防止手段が設けられた個所は大きく引っ張られるため、ラベルの伸縮性が損なわれるといった不具合がある。また、角型（角がある）の容器にストレッチラベルを装着する際、ストレッチラベルが角に引っ掛かり傷が付いてしまう不具合が懸念される。 However, conventionally, the expanding means is not necessarily simple, and the portion provided with the anti-slip means for the stretch label is pulled greatly, so that the stretchability of the label is impaired. Moreover, when attaching a stretch label to a square-shaped container (there is a corner), there is a concern that the stretch label may be caught at the corner and damaged.

以下、添付図面を参照して、本発明の一実施の形態を説明する。図１は本実施の形態に係るストレッチラベル装着治具の構成を示す斜視図である。本例のストレッチラベル装着治具１１は、図１に示すように、比較的柔らかく可撓性を有し前記容器外面に摺接し得る板状の摺接部材（以下、Ａ部材と称する）１３と、前記容器の外面で少なくとも一部を囲い得る形状を有し内外の方向に開閉可能である開閉部材１５、及び一つのＡ部材を保持し該開閉部材１５の開動とともにストレッチラベルＳｌを内側から押し広げ得るラベル押圧部材１７を有するアダプタ（以下、Ｂ部材と称する）１９と、トナー容器Ｔｖ等を適宜余裕を以って収容し得るようトナー容器Ｔｖ等の外形形状と略同様の内形形状を有するとともに、複数のＢ部材１９を開閉可能に保持する枠体部材（以下、Ｃ部材と称する）２１との組み合わせから構成されている。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a stretch label mounting jig according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the stretch label mounting jig 11 of this example includes a plate-like sliding contact member (hereinafter referred to as “A member”) 13 that is relatively soft and flexible and that can slide on the outer surface of the container. The opening / closing member 15 having a shape capable of enclosing at least a part of the outer surface of the container and capable of opening / closing in the inside / outside direction, and holding one A member, and pressing the stretch label S1 from the inside as the opening / closing member 15 opens. An adapter (hereinafter referred to as a B member) 19 having a label pressing member 17 that can be spread, and an inner shape substantially the same as the outer shape of the toner container Tv and the like so that the toner container Tv and the like can be accommodated with an appropriate margin. And a combination with a frame member (hereinafter referred to as a C member) 21 that holds the plurality of B members 19 so as to be openable and closable.

Ａ部材１３、Ｂ部材１９、Ｃ部材２１は、トナー容器Ｔｖ等の横方向の輪郭形状（外側面形状）に対応した形状を有するものであり、トナー容器Ｔｖ等が四角形状の角型である場合、その角型に対応すべく角型の形状的構成を有するものである。詳しくは後述する。 The A member 13, the B member 19, and the C member 21 have shapes corresponding to the lateral contour shape (outer surface shape) of the toner container Tv and the like, and the toner container Tv and the like are square-shaped square shapes. In such a case, it has a square shape configuration to correspond to the square shape. Details will be described later.

Ａ部材１３は、例えば樹脂性フィルムを用いて比較的に柔らかく、かつ可撓性を有するように一枚の板状に構成されており、各Ｂ部材１９のラベル押圧部材１７の例えば内面側に接着剤等を用いて貼付されている。Ａ部材１３の厚さは１０〜２００μｍであることが最適な可撓性を得る上で好ましく、これによりストレッチラベルＳｌの収容性、即ち通過性、摺接性が向上する。 The A member 13 is configured in a single plate shape so as to be relatively soft and flexible using, for example, a resinous film, and on the inner surface side of the label pressing member 17 of each B member 19, for example. It is affixed using an adhesive or the like. The thickness of the A member 13 is preferably 10 to 200 [mu] m from the viewpoint of obtaining optimum flexibility, thereby improving the accommodation property of the stretch label Sl, that is, the passability and the sliding contact property.

Ａ部材１３は、左右両端の下方から上辺に向って傾斜する二つの傾斜辺２３を設けて先端の横幅が根元側の横幅よりも狭くし、所謂台形の形状を有することがトナー容器Ｔｖとの摺動性を向上させる上で好ましい。先端の横幅が狭くなることで先端側がより撓み易くなりストレッチラベルＳｌの収容性、即ち通過性、摺接性が向上し、ストレッチラベル装着の作業性が安定する。 The A member 13 is provided with two inclined sides 23 inclined from the lower side of the left and right ends toward the upper side so that the width of the tip is narrower than the width of the base side, and the toner member Tv has a so-called trapezoidal shape. It is preferable for improving the slidability. By narrowing the lateral width of the distal end, the distal end side is more easily bent, and the accommodation property of the stretch label Sl, that is, the passability and sliding contact property is improved, and the workability of attaching the stretch label is stabilized.

Ａ部材１３の高さ幅はストレッチラベルＳｌの高さ幅と同一の高さ幅を有することも作業性を向上させる上で好ましい態様である。但し、Ａ部材１３の高さ幅はストレッチラベルＳｌの高さ幅より適度（例えば＋５ｍｍ等）に大きい高さ幅か、逆に適度（−５ｍｍ等）に小さい高さ幅を有するようにしても良い。 In order to improve workability, it is also preferable that the height width of the A member 13 has the same height width as that of the stretch label S1. However, the height width of the A member 13 may be moderately larger (for example, +5 mm, etc.) than the stretch label Sl, or conversely (−5 mm, etc.). good.

Ａ部材１３が、仮にトナー容器Ｔｖ等の角を覆う場合、Ａ部材１３のその角に対応する縦方向には少なくとも一つの湾曲形状（所謂Ｒ）を含むか、湾曲形状に容易に撓み易くするかすることがストレッチラベルＳｌを保護する上で好ましく、あるいはトナー容器Ｔｖ等が多角形であり複数の角に対応する場合はそれに応じて複数の湾曲形状（所謂Ｒ）を含む等することが同様の観点から好ましい。これらによりストレッチラベル装着の作業に際してストレッチラベルＳｌに不具合（例えば亀裂、損傷等）が生じることを有効に回避することが可能であり、品質を管理する上でも、また作業性の向上を図る上でも有益に作用する。 If the A member 13 covers a corner of the toner container Tv or the like, the vertical direction corresponding to the corner of the A member 13 includes at least one curved shape (so-called R), or easily bends easily into the curved shape. It is preferable to protect the stretch label Sl, or when the toner container Tv or the like is polygonal and corresponds to a plurality of corners, a plurality of curved shapes (so-called R) are included accordingly. From the viewpoint of By these, it is possible to effectively avoid the occurrence of defects (for example, cracks, damage, etc.) in the stretch label Sl during the work of attaching the stretch label, both for quality control and for improving workability. It works beneficially.

各Ｂ部材１９は、トナー容器Ｔｖ等の外形形状の所定の一部を囲う形状に加工することが好ましく、トナー容器Ｔｖ等が多角形である場合、その角の部分に対応して、即ちその角の部分に沿って開閉部材１５及びラベル押圧部材１７ともに一または複数の湾曲部分（所謂Ｒ）を有することがストレッチラベルＳｌを保護し、かつラベル装着の作業性を向上させる上で好ましい。 Each B member 19 is preferably processed into a shape that encloses a predetermined part of the outer shape of the toner container Tv or the like. When the toner container Tv or the like is a polygon, it corresponds to the corner portion, that is, It is preferable that the opening / closing member 15 and the label pressing member 17 have one or a plurality of curved portions (so-called R) along the corner portion in order to protect the stretch label Sl and improve the workability of label mounting.

但し本例の場合、Ｂ部材１９は、トナー容器Ｔｖ等が横に四角形の形状を含む角型であるため、Ｂ部材１９における開閉部材１５の部分が角型のトナー容器Ｔｖ等の一つの側面及び該側面の両端の二箇所の角を囲うべく、上面視コ字状の形状を有するものであり、本例では、角型のトナー容器Ｔｖ等を左右の二方向から囲うべく、二つのＢ部材１９が左右に対向して互いに内外の方向に開閉可能となるようにＣ部材２１に配設されている。勿論、Ｂ部材１９における開閉部材１５の二箇所の角にもトナー容器Ｔｖ等の角に対応して湾曲部分（所謂Ｒ）を形成することが好ましい。 However, in the case of this example, the B member 19 is a square shape in which the toner container Tv and the like includes a quadrangular shape on the side, so that the opening / closing member 15 portion of the B member 19 is one side surface of the square toner container Tv and the like. In order to surround two corners at both ends of the side surface, it has a U-shape when viewed from above. In this example, two B The member 19 is disposed on the C member 21 so as to be opposed to the left and right and to be opened and closed in the inner and outer directions. Of course, it is preferable to form curved portions (so-called R) corresponding to the corners of the toner container Tv and the like at the two corners of the opening / closing member 15 in the B member 19.

Ｂ部材１９は、開閉部材１５が上面視コ字状の形状を呈するとともに、開閉部材１５の上方側には長手方向の凡そ半分の領域を閉塞する天板１５ａが設けられており、天板１５ａの内側の一端には該一端から上方に突出する如く平板状のラベル押圧部材１７が設けられている。平板状のラベル押圧部材１７の内面にはＡ部材１３が例えば接着剤等により貼付けられている。 In the B member 19, the opening / closing member 15 has a U-shape when viewed from above, and a top plate 15a is provided on the upper side of the opening / closing member 15 so as to close an approximately half region in the longitudinal direction. A flat plate-like label pressing member 17 is provided at one end inside the plate so as to protrude upward from the one end. The A member 13 is attached to the inner surface of the flat label pressing member 17 with, for example, an adhesive.

平板状のラベル押圧部材１７には、内方の斜め上方に向く所定の傾斜角度（例えば３０°〜６０°）を与えることが、トナー容器Ｔｖ等を収容（通過、摺接）する際のＡ部材１３の抵抗を低減する上で好ましく、かつＡ部材１３の可撓性に伴うトナー容器Ｔｖ等の収容性（通過性、摺接性）を良好にする上で好ましい。 Giving the flat label pressing member 17 a predetermined inclination angle (for example, 30 ° to 60 °) that is directed obliquely upward inwardly is an A when the toner container Tv or the like is accommodated (passed, slidably contacted). It is preferable for reducing the resistance of the member 13 and preferable for improving the accommodation capacity (passability, sliding contact property) of the toner container Tv and the like accompanying the flexibility of the A member 13.

平板状のラベル押圧部材１７の両端にはストレッチラベルＳｌを所定の角度で外側に広げる第２押圧部材１７ａが設けられている。第２押圧部材１７ａは、本例では三角形状の平板の構成を呈しており、ラベル押圧部材１７の両端から内方を向くとともに例えば９０°＋１０°〜２０°程度外側に開いた状態で設けられている。 At both ends of the flat label pressing member 17, there are provided second pressing members 17a that spread the stretch label Sl outward at a predetermined angle. In this example, the second pressing member 17a has a triangular plate configuration, and is provided in a state of facing inward from both ends of the label pressing member 17 and opening outward by, for example, about 90 ° + 10 ° to 20 °. ing.

Ｂ部材１９は、全体的に樹脂やステンレス等の金属から構成されており、開閉部材１５、天板１５ａ、ラベル押圧部材１７、及び、第２押圧部材１７ａの各々はネジ止めすることで一体に組み立てても良く、あるいはあらかじめ一体に射出成形したものでも良く、もしくは曲げ加工することで組み立てを行ったものでも良い。 The B member 19 is entirely made of metal such as resin or stainless steel, and each of the opening / closing member 15, the top plate 15a, the label pressing member 17, and the second pressing member 17a is integrally screwed. It may be assembled, or may be integrally injection molded in advance, or may be assembled by bending.

各Ｂ部材１９には、Ｃ部材との間に、双方のＢ部材１９の開閉可能となる動作性を保持しつつ各Ｂ部材１９及びＣ部材２１を連結する複数の連結部材３１が設けられている。複数の連結部材３１の構成等については後述する。 Each B member 19 is provided with a plurality of connecting members 31 that connect the B member 19 and the C member 21 while maintaining the operability of opening and closing both the B members 19 between the B members 19. Yes. The configuration and the like of the plurality of connecting members 31 will be described later.

一方、各Ｂ部材１９の開閉部材１５の開閉移動の方向の側面、即ち長手方向の側面には、Ｃ部材２１のロック部材５１に係合する被ロック部としての開口１５ｂが形成されている。Ｃ部材２１のロック部材５１については後述する。 On the other hand, on the side surface of each B member 19 in the opening / closing movement direction of the opening / closing member 15, that is, the side surface in the longitudinal direction, an opening 15b is formed as a locked portion that engages with the locking member 51 of the C member 21. The lock member 51 of the C member 21 will be described later.

Ｃ部材２１は、トナー容器Ｔｖ等をある程度の余裕をもって囲い得る、換言すればトナー容器Ｔｖ等をある程度の余裕をもって収容（通過）し得るようにトナー容器Ｔｖ等の横方向の外形形状と略同様の内形形状を有する四角形状の枠体部材からなるが、枠体部材の角型のトナー容器ＴＶ等の角を囲う部分にはＢ部材１９と同様に湾曲形状（所謂Ｒ）を含むことが好ましい。 The C member 21 can enclose the toner container Tv and the like with a certain margin, in other words, substantially the same as the lateral outer shape of the toner container Tv and the like so as to accommodate (pass) the toner container Tv and the like with a certain margin. In the same manner as the B member 19, a curved shape (so-called R) is included in a portion surrounding the corner of the frame member such as the rectangular toner container TV. preferable.

Ｃ部材２１の高さは、ストレッチラベルＳｌの装着位置を規制する高さに設定することが好ましく、これによりトナー容器Ｔｖ等へのストレッチラベル装着の位置合わせを含む作業性を向上させることができる。 The height of the C member 21 is preferably set to a height that regulates the position where the stretch label S1 is attached, thereby improving workability including alignment of the stretch label attached to the toner container Tv or the like. .

ところで、本例では、各Ｂ部材１９とＣ部材２１とを、各Ｂ部材１９を開閉可能の動作性を保持しつつ連結する各連結部材３１には、Ｂ部材１９における開閉部材１５のトナー容器Ｔｖ等の角側を囲うための比較的狭面積の左右の側面部材１５ｃの所定位置（縦の二箇所）に装着した回動軸４１、及びＣ部材２１の対応する側面の所定位置（縦の二箇所）に装着した回動軸４１に対し回動自在に組付けたアームの構成が採用されている。 By the way, in this example, each B member 19 and C member 21 is connected to each connecting member 31 that connects each B member 19 while maintaining the operability of opening and closing, and the toner container of the opening / closing member 15 in the B member 19 is used. The rotation shaft 41 mounted at a predetermined position (two vertical positions) of the left and right side surface members 15c having a relatively narrow area for enclosing the corner side such as Tv, and a predetermined position (vertical position) on the corresponding side surface of the C member 21 The structure of the arm assembled | attached so that rotation with respect to the rotating shaft 41 with which it mounted | wore 2 places) was employ | adopted is employ | adopted.

During this time, each spring 43 extends to apply a restoring force (closing power) to each B member 19.

各スプリング４３の弾力は、例えば０．１〜３．０Ｋｇ程度に設定することが各Ｂ部材１９の開閉動作の操作性を良好にする上で好ましく、これによりストレッチラベル装着の作業性を向上させることも可能となる。 The elasticity of each spring 43 is preferably set to, for example, about 0.1 to 3.0 kg in order to improve the operability of the opening / closing operation of each B member 19, thereby improving the workability of attaching the stretch label. It is also possible.

一方、Ｃ部材２１に備えるロック部材５１は、外側に位置し例えば横の長方形状を有する操作板５３と、内側に位置し例えば操作板５３の高さよりも低い高さで同じく横の長方形状を有するとともに上端辺に外方（操作板５３を向く方向）に突出する鍵状の係止突起を有するロック板５５と、操作板５３及びロック板５５の下端側を所定間隔をあけて固定する底板とを備えて構成されている。 On the other hand, the lock member 51 provided in the C member 21 has an operation plate 53 that is located on the outside and has, for example, a horizontal rectangular shape, and a horizontally rectangular shape that is located on the inside and is lower than the height of the operation plate 53, for example. And a lock plate 55 having a key-like locking projection protruding outwardly (in the direction facing the operation plate 53) on the upper end side, and a bottom plate for fixing the operation plate 53 and the lower end side of the lock plate 55 at a predetermined interval. And is configured.

ロック板５５の複数箇所には、所定の開口（図示せず）が形成されており、Ｃ部材２１の対応する側面に設けられた例えば棒状の支持体（図示せず）が挿通されている。ロック板５５の背面（Ｃ部材２１に対向する面）とＣ部材２１との間には、例えば支持体を包囲するコイルスプリング（図示せず）が設けられており、該コイルスプリングの反発力で常時ロック部材５１を外方に所定寸法分押圧している。操作板５３の背面（ロック板５５に対向する面）には、ロック部材５１の往復移動（操作性）をスムーズにすべく、ロック板５５の開口を挿通する棒状の支持体を摺動自在に収容する例えばパイプ状の突起（図示せず）が設けられている。パイプ状の突起及び棒状の支持体には双方の抜け防止を図る係合部等を形成することが望ましい。 Predetermined openings (not shown) are formed at a plurality of locations of the lock plate 55, and rod-like supports (not shown) provided on corresponding side surfaces of the C member 21 are inserted therethrough. For example, a coil spring (not shown) surrounding the support is provided between the back surface (the surface facing the C member 21) of the lock plate 55 and the C member 21, and the repulsive force of the coil spring is used. The lock member 51 is always pressed outward by a predetermined dimension. On the back surface of the operation plate 53 (the surface facing the lock plate 55), a rod-like support member that is inserted through the opening of the lock plate 55 is slidable so that the reciprocating movement (operability) of the lock member 51 is smooth. For example, a pipe-like protrusion (not shown) is provided. It is desirable that the pipe-like protrusion and the rod-like support be formed with an engaging portion or the like for preventing both from coming off.

尚、操作板５３、及び、支持体により特許請求の範囲に記載のロック解除部材が構成されている。 In addition, the lock release member as described in a claim is comprised by the operation board 53 and the support body.

手作業で、左右のＢ部材１９を最大に開動させた場合、各Ｂ部材１９の被ロック部としての開口１５ｂがＣ部材２１に備わる各ロック部材５１のロック板５５の鍵状の係止突起に係合し、これにより各Ｂ部材１９の開動にロックが掛かる。各ロック部材５１の操作板５３をプッシュすると、コイルスプリングの反発力に抗して各ロック部材５１がＣ部材２１側に移動して各Ｂ部材１９のロック状態を解除し、各Ｂ部材１９を閉動させることが可能となる。各Ｂ部材１９の閉動に際しては各連結部材（アーム）３１に備わるスプリングの収縮力が作用するため一切手を触れる必要が無く、この点使い勝手に優れ、かつ作業性にも優れる。 When the left and right B members 19 are opened to the maximum manually, the locking member 55 of each lock member 51 provided with an opening 15b as a locked portion of each B member 19 is a key-like locking projection. As a result, the opening of each B member 19 is locked. When the operation plate 53 of each lock member 51 is pushed, each lock member 51 moves to the C member 21 side against the repulsive force of the coil spring, and the locked state of each B member 19 is released. It can be closed. When each B member 19 is closed, the contraction force of the spring provided in each connecting member (arm) 31 acts, so there is no need to touch it at all, and this is excellent in terms of usability and workability.

次に、本実施の形態に基づくストレッチラベル装着方法について説明する。まず、図２に示すように、双方のＢ部材１９の各ラベル押圧部材１７の外側にストレッチラベルＳｌを位置させ、次いで双方のＢ部材１９を開動させ、双方のＢ部材１９の各ラベル押圧部材１７でストレッチラベルＳｌを外方に押し広げるとともに、Ｃ部材２１のロック部材５１で双方のＢ部材１９の開動にロックを掛ける。ストレッチラベルＳｌを押し広げた状態が保持される。尚、ストレッチラベルＳｌは、双方のＢ部材１９の天板１５ａに接するまで位置を合わせることでトナー容器Ｔｖに対する装着位置の位置決めを正確に行うことが可能となる。次いでＡ部材１３、Ｂ部材１９、及び、Ｃ部材２１を一体に構成したストレッチラベル装着治具１１を下方のストレッチラベルＳｌの方向へ移動させる。 Next, the stretch label mounting method based on this Embodiment is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the stretch label S1 is positioned outside the label pressing members 17 of both B members 19, then both the B members 19 are opened, and the label pressing members of both B members 19 are moved. At 17, the stretch label S1 is pushed outward, and the locking member 51 of the C member 21 locks the opening of both the B members 19. The stretched label S1 is held in a spread state. The stretch label S1 can be positioned accurately with respect to the toner container Tv by matching the position until the stretch label Sl comes into contact with the top plate 15a of both the B members 19. Next, the stretch label mounting jig 11 in which the A member 13, the B member 19, and the C member 21 are integrated is moved in the direction of the lower stretch label S1.

ストラッチラベル装着治具１１の下方移動に伴い、図３に示すように、トナー容器Ｔｖを、Ｃ部材２１の内側、Ｂ部材１９の内側、及び、Ａ部材１３の内側の順に、各々の内側へ収容（通過）させ、かつトナー容器Ｔｖの底面位置とＣ部材２１の底面位置との高さ位置を同一に合わせる。この位置合わせは、例えばテーブルのような作業台を使用することで容易に可能となり、かつ位置合わせの精度も良好に保つことができる。 As the strut label mounting jig 11 moves downward, as shown in FIG. 3, the toner container Tv is moved inward in the order of the inside of the C member 21, the inside of the B member 19, and the inside of the A member 13. The toner container is accommodated (passed), and the height position of the bottom surface position of the toner container Tv and the bottom surface position of the C member 21 are set to be the same. This alignment can be easily performed by using a work table such as a table, and the alignment accuracy can be kept good.

次いで、例えば手作業でストレッチラベルＳｌをトナー容器Ｔｖの外周面の方向に押し付けるとともに、トナー容器Ｔｖを一定の位置に押え、しかる状態の下で、ストレッチラベル装着治具１１を下方の方向に移動させ、Ｃ部材２１、Ｂ部材１９、及び、Ａ部材１３の順にトナー容器Ｔｖから各々を離れさせる。このストレッチラベル装着治具１１の下方移動をもってトナー容器Ｔｖの外周面に押し付けていたストレッチラベルＳｌがその上方端から下方端に向って順々にトナー容器Ｔｖの外周面の所定位置に装着されてゆく（図４参照）。 Next, for example, the stretch label S1 is manually pressed in the direction of the outer peripheral surface of the toner container Tv, and the toner container Tv is pressed to a certain position, and the stretch label mounting jig 11 is moved downward under the appropriate state. The C member 21, the B member 19, and the A member 13 are separated from the toner container Tv in this order. The stretch label Sl, which is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the toner container Tv by the downward movement of the stretch label mounting jig 11, is sequentially mounted from the upper end to the lower end at predetermined positions on the outer peripheral surface of the toner container Tv. Go (see Figure 4).

しかる状態の後、Ｃ部材２１の各ロック部材５１を押圧して双方のＢ部材１９を元の位置へ閉動させると、次のトナー容器ＴｖにストレッチラベルＳｌを装着することが可能となる。 After the appropriate state, when each lock member 51 of the C member 21 is pressed to close both the B members 19 to the original positions, the stretch label S1 can be attached to the next toner container Tv.

本実施の形態においては、樹脂フィルムからなるＡ部材１３、開閉動作可能のＢ部材１９、及び、ラベル位置を規制し得るＣ部材２１を以ってストレッチラベル装着治具１１を構成したため、角型のトナー容器ＴｖであってもストレッチラベルＳｌを傷付けることなく所定の位置に簡易にかつ精度良くセットすることができ、しかも構成が簡易でコスト的にも有利である他、例えば電子写真現像用のトナーの少量多品種化に伴う容器の多様化にも容易に対応することができる。 In this embodiment, since the stretch label mounting jig 11 is configured by the A member 13 made of a resin film, the B member 19 that can be opened and closed, and the C member 21 that can regulate the label position, The toner container Tv can be easily and accurately set at a predetermined position without damaging the stretch label Sl, and the structure is simple and advantageous in terms of cost. It is possible to easily cope with the diversification of containers accompanying the increase in quantity and variety of toner.
