There is.

<Attachment procedure of print label to adherend>
The example of the attachment procedure to the to-be-adhered body of the said printing label L is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the print label L is wound around and attached to a cylindrical or cable-like adherend 302 of radius r (diameter 2 r) in this example.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the release material layer 24 is peeled off from the print label L having the above-described structure to expose the non-adhesive layer 23. Thereafter, as shown in the drawing, among the print labels L connected in the order of adhesive area D1 → non-adhesive area D2A → adhesive area D4 → non-adhesive area D2Ba → non-adhesive area D2Bb → non-adhesive area D2Bc → adhesive area D3 The non-adhesive area D2A, the adhesive area D4, the non-adhesive area D2Ba, and the non-adhesive area D2Bb are bent concavely so that the side (right side in FIG. 4A) with which the release material layer 24 was in contact Omitted).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), after the adherend 302 is disposed inside the concave and the print label L is made to make a round so as to form a cylindrical body surrounding the adherend 302, The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 (functions as a joining portion in the after-mentioned joining) and the non-adhesive agent layer 23 (the joining palm in the after-mentioned attachment) of the non-adhesive region D2Bc Function as a) (paste together). At this time, the length X2A + X4 + X2Ba + X2Bb in the first direction of the print label L is at least the circumferential length 2πr of the adherend 302. As a result, while the shape of the print label L is fixed by the adhesion between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the non-pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 23, the non-adhesive area D2A, the non-adhesive area D2Ba, and the non-adhesive area are initially fixed. It goes around the adherend 302 in a non-adherent state in D2Bb.

  Thereafter, as shown by the arrow G in FIG. 4B, the non-adhesive area D2Bc and the adhesive area D3 which were not used in the one-round structure around the adherend 302, of the adhesive area D1 and the non-adhesive area D2Bc. Non-adhesive area D2A → adhesive area constituting the above-mentioned cylinder while causing the bonded part to be rolled in the inner peripheral side (for example, the adhesive area D1 which is the above-mentioned combined palm part is folded back like an arrow D4 → non-adhesive area D2Ba → non-adhesive area D2Bb is covered in this order, and wound around the outer periphery of these areas D2A, D4, D2Ba, D2Bb (see FIG. 4 (c)). Then, the adhesive area D3 is adhered to the outer peripheral portion of the non-adhesive area D2Bb by using the adhesive property of the adhesive layer 22, thereby completing the attachment to the adherend 302.

  Thereafter, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive area D4 is a non-adhesive area D2 or the adhesive layer D2 located on the outer peripheral side by gripping operation to the print label L manually by a user or bending operation of the adherend 302 or the like. It receives pressure and tightening from the adhesive area D3 and adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the adherend 302 (see FIG. 4C). The adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D4 is the whole or part of the second direction (the axial direction of the adherend 302; the front side of the sheet in FIG. 4C-the back direction) of the print label L Bonding

  At this time, the length X4 in the first direction (circumferential direction of the adherend 302) of the adhesive area D4 is the sum of the lengths in the other non-adhesive area D2A, non-adhesive area D2Ba, and non-adhesive area D2Bb, X2A + X2Ba + X2Bb The dimensions are set to be sufficiently short in comparison. Therefore, the adhesion of the entire print label L to the outer peripheral surface of the adherend 302 is light, and the print label L can be easily rotated manually with respect to the adherend 302 while maintaining appropriate friction. It is attached.

<Example of using print label>
An application example of the print label L is shown in FIG. In this example, as the adherend 302, for example, a cable (hereinafter simply referred to as "cable 302") used for a switching hub for relaying information on a wired LAN network is applied. . In FIG. 5, the switching hub 300 has eight slots 301 (16 slots in total) in each of the upper and lower rows. In the illustrated example, plates PL representing identification names “A01” to “A08” are provided in order from the left corresponding to the eight slots 301 in the upper row. Further, plates PL representing identification names “A09” to “A16” are provided in order from the left corresponding to the lower eight slots 301 respectively.

  It is necessary to connect the corresponding cables 302 to the respective slots 301 appropriately. In order to facilitate connection, the above-mentioned print label is formed at the end of each cable 302 inserted into each connector slot 301 with a print R having the same content as the identification name of the slot 301 as the connection destination. L is attached. That is, the print label L on which the same text as the identification name of the plate PL of the slot 301 to be connected is printed is attached to the cable 302. As a result, the correspondence between the connected slot 301 and the cable 302 becomes clear, and erroneous wiring can be prevented.

  FIG. 6 schematically shows how the print label L is attached to the cable 302. As shown in FIG. The axial center k of the cable 302 is also shown in the drawing. With the above-described structure, the print label L is rotatably attached to the cable 302 as an adherend by an appropriate manual force, and for example, in the state shown in FIG. 6A, “A01” The non-adhesive area D2b provided with the printing R is arranged in a posture on the front side in the drawing. Actually, as shown in FIG. 4C described above, a transparent adhesion area D3 is present so as to cover the outer periphery side of the non-adhesive area D2Bb, but for the purpose of preventing complication and clarifying the explanation. The illustration is omitted in FIG. From the state shown in FIG. 6A, for example, by rotating the print label L in the broken line direction (that is, the circumferential direction), the non-adhesive area D2Bc and the adhesive area D3 are shown in FIG. It can be made the posture which becomes the near side towards. When the print label L is fixed to the cable 302 at the position shown in FIG. 6B, the print R is difficult to see, but since the print label L is rotatable, it is rotated in the opposite direction to the above. By setting the position in FIG. 6A, the print R can be easily viewed.

<Effect of the embodiment>
As described above, in the present embodiment, an adhesive area D4 having adhesiveness is present between the non-adhesive area D2A in contact with the adherend 302 and the non-adhesive area D2B. Thus, unlike the conventional structure in which no part having adhesiveness remains in the region in contact with the adherend 302, the print label L (rotational label) is excessively rotated or in the axial direction of the adherend 302. Misalignment can be suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the base material layer 21 traverses in the thickness direction in all of a plurality of regions including the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2A, the adhesive region D4, the non-adhesive region D2B, and the adhesive region D3. The surface shape is a layer continuous along the first direction. As a result, even when the print label L is formed on a cylindrical rotating label surrounding the adherend 302 and manually rotated, sufficient strength can be maintained as a whole to avoid breakage.

  Further, particularly in the present embodiment, the print background layer 25 is provided on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release material layer 24 in the non-adhesive area D2B. As a result, the print head 7 can be stably brought into contact with the print background layer 25 by the label producing apparatus 1, and a desired print object such as a character or image intended by the user can be beautifully printed.

  In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the adhesion per unit area is the same in any of the adhesive regions D1, D4, D3, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the adhesion per unit area of the adhesion area D4 may be smaller than the adhesion per unit area of the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion per unit area of the adhesion area D4. As a result, the adhesion of the adhesion area D4 is smaller than the adhesion of the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion area D3, so a relatively large adhesion is ensured when the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion area D3 are attached when forming the rotating label. However, it is possible to suppress excessive rotation and positional deviation of the rotating label.

  In this case, the adhesive further includes an adhesive layer 22 between the base material layer 21 and the release material layer 24 in each adhesive region D1, D4, D3, and the adhesive included in the adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D4; The adhesive included in the adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D3 may be different from each other. Thereby, the difference between the adhesion of the adhesion area D4 and the adhesion of the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion area D3 as described above can be easily realized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, in the tape roll 10A, the first direction coincides with the width direction of the print-receiving tapes To and T. Thereby, the plurality of areas D1 to D3 in each label portion LA are aligned in the width direction of the print-receiving tapes To and T, that is, the same regions between the label portions LA are longitudinal directions of the print-receiving tapes To and T (conveying direction It becomes arrangement arranged along). Therefore, there are advantages that manufacture of the print-receiving tape To becomes easy and, in particular, continuous printing on each print background layer 25 in the label producing apparatus 1 becomes possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, particularly, in the tape cartridge 10, the base material layer 21 at both ends of the adhesive region D4 in the adhesive direction D4 at least in the second direction orthogonal to the laminating direction and intersecting the first direction. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is further provided between the release agent layer 24. As a result, for example, when the print-receiving tape To is supplied from the tape cartridge 10 mounted in the label producing apparatus 1 and conveyed in the label producing apparatus 1, both ends in the second direction are flipped up to be carried It is possible to suppress the occurrence of clogging of the print tape To.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and the technical idea thereof. Hereinafter, such modified examples will be described in order. The same reference numerals are given to parts equivalent to the above embodiment, and the description will be appropriately omitted or simplified.

(1) In the case where the adhesive region D4 is disposed so as to be included and overlapped in the printing background layer, that is, as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b) corresponding to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), The printing background layer 25 may be disposed on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release material layer 24 in the adhesive area D4. In the illustrated example, the length X4 of the adhesive area D4 in the first direction is shorter than the length X2Ab + X4 + X2Ba of the entire print background layer 25 in the first direction, and the entire adhesive area D4 is included in the area of the print background layer 25. It is redundant.

  In this case, the non-adhesive area D2Aa between the adhesive area D1 and the print background layer 25 in the first direction and the non-adhesive area D2Ab on the other side of the adhesive layer D4 of the print background layer 25 in the first direction The combined area corresponds to the first small area described in each claim. Further, the non-adhesive area D2Ba on one side in the first direction than the adhesive area D4 of the printing background layer 25 and the non-adhesive area D2Bb between the printing background layer 25 and the adhesive area D3 in the first direction are aligned. The second region corresponds to the second small region described in each claim. The configuration other than the above is the same as that shown in FIG.

  Also in this modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

(2) When the printing background layer is disposed in the non-adhesive area D2A That is, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b) corresponding to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the non-adhesive area The print background layer 25 may be disposed on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release material layer 24 in D2A. In the illustrated example, the length X2Aa + X2Ab + X2Ac in the first direction of the entire non-adhesive area D2A is longer than the length X2Ab in the first direction of the entire printed background layer 25, and the entire printed background layer 25 is included in the non-adhesive area D2A. It is overlapping to do.

  In this case, the non-adhesive area D2Aa between the adhesive area D1 and the printing background layer 25 in the first direction, the non-adhesive area D2Ab of the printing background layer 25, and the non-adhesive area D4 between the printing background layer 25 and the adhesive area D4. The area combined with the adhesion area D2Ac corresponds to the first small area described in each claim. Further, the non-adhesive area D2B between the adhesive area D4 and the adhesive area D3 in the first direction corresponds to a second small area described in each claim. The configuration other than the above is the same as that shown in FIG.

  Also in this modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

(3) In the case where the printing background layer is disposed so as to be included and overlapped in the adhesive region D4, that is, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b) corresponding to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), The printing background layer 25 may be disposed on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release material layer 24 in the adhesive area D4. In the illustrated example, the length X4b of the print background layer 25 in the first direction is shorter than the length X4a + X4b + X4c of the entire adhesive area D4 in the first direction, and the entire print background layer 25 overlaps so as to be included in the adhesive area D4. doing.

  In this case, the non-adhesive area D2A between the adhesive area D1 and the adhesive area D4 in the first direction corresponds to a first small area described in each claim. The non-adhesive area D2B between the adhesive area D4 and the adhesive area D3 in the first direction corresponds to a second small area described in each claim. The configuration other than the above is the same as that shown in FIG.

  Also in this modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

(4) When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the pressure-sensitive adhesive region D4 is partially disposed in the second direction In the above embodiment and each modification, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is provided over the entire region in the second direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive region D4. Although the present invention is not limited. That is, FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b) correspond to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) and FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b). 12A and 12B, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 in the adhesion region D4 may be partially disposed in the second direction.

  Thereby, the adhesion of the adhesion area D4 is smaller than the adhesion of the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion area D3, so a relatively large adhesion is ensured when the adhesion area D1 and the adhesion area D3 are attached when forming the rotating label. However, it is possible to suppress excessive rotation and positional deviation of the rotating label.

(5) In the case of application to the self-laminating type As the winding mode of the print label L wound around the adherend 302 as described above, the adhesion as described above in the embodiment and the modified examples (1) to (4) Apart from the rotating label winding aspect which is rotatable with respect to the body 302, a so-called self-laminate winding aspect which can not rotate with respect to the adherend 302 can be considered.

  For example, an example of the case where the print label L having the configuration shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is used in the self-laminate winding mode is the same as FIG. 13 (b), which is the same as FIG. 3 (b), and FIG. 13 (c). As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) to 13 (c), the print label L has the same configuration as that shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). Then, when being attached to the adherend 302, as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c), after the release material layer 24 is peeled off as described above, the base in the adhesive region D1 is obtained. After the back surface of the material layer 21 (the surface on the right side in FIG. 13B) is attached to the adherend 302 via the adhesive layer 22, a non-adhesive area D2A, an adhesive area D4, a non-adhesive area D2B, After the adhesive area D3 is sequentially extended in the circumferential direction so as to surround the outer periphery of the adherend 302 (see arrow H in FIG. 13B), the base material layer 21 in the adhesive area D3 is finished at the end of the winding. Non-adhesive area D2A or adhesive area D4 or non-adhesive area D2B or (non-adhesive area that has already been wound so as to go around the adherend 302) through the adhesive layer 22 (the right side in FIG. It is pasted to adhesion field D3.

  In this case, since the base material layer 21 in the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D4 is adhered to the adherend 302 via the adhesive layer 22, the print label L can not rotate with respect to the adherend 302. However, when the adhesion area of the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D4 is sufficiently small, or when the adhesion (adhesive force per unit area) of the adhesive layer 22 in the adhesive region D1 and the adhesive region D4 is sufficiently small. Can be easily rotated manually as in the above embodiment.

(6) Others In addition, although the case where the adhesiveness (adhesiveness) by the adhesive of the adhesive layer 22 is provided as an example was mentioned above as an example and demonstrated, it is not restricted to this. That is, for example, it may be used for postcards etc., and it may be possible to use a pseudo adhesion structure under pressure that can not be attached again after peeling once, or a structure that adheres to each other by static electricity like resinous sheets used for wrapping etc. . Moreover, as an adhesive used for the above-mentioned pseudo adhesion, there may be used one having a property such that it is in a wet and wet state before pasting, and can not be pasted again after it is dried and peeled off.

  In the above description, when “vertical”, “parallel”, “plane”, etc. are described, the description does not have a strict meaning. That is, the terms "vertical", "parallel" and "plane" mean "substantially vertical", "substantially parallel" and "substantially planar" as their design allows for manufacturing tolerances and errors. .

  Further, in the above description, when there are descriptions such as “identical”, “equal”, “different” and the like in terms of size and size in appearance, the description is not strictly meant. That is, the terms "identical" "equal" "different" mean that the manufacturing tolerance and error in the design are tolerated, and "substantially identical" "substantially equal" "substantially different" .

  In addition, in the above, the arrow shown in FIG. 1 etc. shows an example of the flow of a signal, and does not limit the flow direction of a signal.

  Further, other than those described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiment and each modification may be combined as appropriate for use.

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is to be implemented with various modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
