Description

The invention relates to a material web with cover label for covering a before painting or other external influences to be protected area, for example, a piece of film or the like.

In many companies, especially the equipping and the producing ones In the context of painting, the need to Identification plates or type plates which are placed on a housing or before the painting process Machine part are applied, by means of a so-called Paint protection labels to protect against paint application, even after the painting process nor the unimpaired readability of the identification or nameplate guarantee. As a rule, this is to be protected against painting Area, ie the identification plate, the paint protection label applied, which coincides with the area to be protected before painting or is almost congruent. After the painting process and a subsequent Drying process, the paint protection label is then removed again and the Identification plate or identification plate exposed.

Paint protection labels are known, for example, from DE 296 14 833. That there described label has a grip tab, which with a Lackierschutzschicht is firmly connected. This label is applied to one before the painting process protective area, for example, a nameplate glued. The grip is like that designed so that it still protrudes from the paint layer after painting. Thereby the paint protection can be removed easily after painting again become.

A disadvantage has been found in the known Lackierschutzetiketten that to protective areas, for example pieces of film, nameplates and the like, initially provided with a print or a label and then this must be covered in a further operation with a paint protection. The accurately fitting a cover label on the area to be protected Of great importance, since one is not interested in the end with the Lackierschutz also to remove the paint in one place, where this actually not was provided.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to a possibility Create the above problem of accurately applying one Cover labels, in particular a paint protection label or protective laminate, to cope with a designated place in an easy way.

The object is achieved by a material web which has a carrier on which at least one piece of film and at least one cover label are arranged, wherein the at least one piece of film and the at least one cover label on two separated by a fold line regions of the carrier are arranged such that the at least one cover label by folding along the fold line of the Support can be arranged over the at least one piece of film.

The carrier is preferably provided with a non-stick coating, so that the Foil pieces and overlay labels attached to it easily from the vehicle detach and stick to the desired location. For machine processing and donating the located on the material web according to the invention Components, it is advantageous to roll up the web so that they easily in existing production facilities for label dispensing can be integrated.

Due to the special arrangement of the material web according to the invention can Foil piece, for example, be designed as a nameplate. This nameplate can then printed or labeled by the end user himself. In addition exists the possibility of the overlap label on the carrier as Lackierschutz or seal for the nameplate. After printing the Nameplate is then pasted over this with the overlap label. To the two To bring components as precisely as possible to cover, is the web with a fold line provided. This ensures an exact positioning when folding the (protective) label on the piece of film, so that the label, for example after the painting, by removing part of the overlay label exposed again can be.

An aforementioned paint protection label has a particularly advantageous Embodiment a gripping tab and a base layer. The grip is there preferably connected tear-resistant with the one side of the base layer. On the website the grip tab are the base layer, the grip tab itself or both with one provided first adhesive layer, with which the entire label detachable on the carrier of the material web according to the invention is attached. On the other side of the Base layer is attached a second adhesive layer. If the carrier along the Folded fold seam, so is the second adhesive layer of the overlap label with the Connected film piece. The compound is preferably with a pressure-sensitive adhesive realized. In this embodiment, the base layer may after painting be removed again.

According to a particularly advantageous development is on the base layer means the second adhesive layer still attached a protective layer. This has the advantage that the piece of film after painting even after removing the paint protection is still covered with a protective layer, the film later also against external influences can protect.

For this purpose, base layer and gripping tab are advantageously tear-resistant with an adhesive connected, so that when removing the base layer, the grip tab is not separated can be.

Alternatively, it is provided that the gripping tab and the base layer in one piece are formed. This can be done, for example, by crimping over the protective layer protruding base layer can be achieved. This advantageous embodiment allows an even more stable connection between base layer and grip tab, so that When removing the base layer, the risk of tearing the grip tab on a Minimum is reduced.

The special presentation of the material web according to the invention allows the end user, the web with existing labeling devices (printers and the like) in turn in a similar way with a print, a punching, a Label or the like to provide.

The label 3 is connected to the carrier 1 by means of an adhesive layer 5. The Adhesive layer 5 may be in one piece or in several parts. The label 3 shown in Fig. 1 illustrates a special training as a protective or Lackierschutzetikett. It serves in addition, the piece of film 2 after any labeling generally outside Damage or even the seal to protect by painting. The Label has a base part 8 for this purpose. On the bottom is one Grasping tab 6 attached, which conveniently over a portion of the base layer 8 extends and is firmly connected via an adhesive layer 7 with the base layer. This adhesive layer 7 can be saved if the base layer 8 and the grip tab 6 are integrally formed. For this purpose, the base layer 8 is folded over at one side, so that a gripping tab is formed by the folded part. The grip tab 6 lies on on the carrier 1. On the same side as the grip tab 6 is the Adhesive layer 5, which extends over a part of the base layer 8 and these (and so that the entire label 3) connects to the carrier 1.

On the other side of the base layer 8 is a preferably transparent Protective layer 9 attached. Protective layer 9 and base layer 8 are provided with a Adhesive layer 12 connected. The side of the protective layer 9 facing away from the base layer is by crimping the web of the invention with the beyond the. Folding line 4 located film piece 2 connected. Since the protective layer 9 as a laminate is to be connected to the film piece 2, the film piece 2 with a Be provided adhesive layer or be provided later. Alternatively to this is the protective layer 9 on the base layer 8 opposite side in turn provided with an adhesive layer 11. The adhesive layer 11 is provided with a Covering layer 10 is covered, so that the adhesive layer 11 during storage of the Inventive material web is not affected until its use.

The cover layer is preferably made of similar material as the carrier 1, so that it is easily removable and removable.

The foil piece 2 and the label 3 are on the support so arranged that the label after folding along the fold line 4 on a predetermined position of the film piece 2 comes to rest. This has opposite the known devices for the protection of foil pieces, in which piece of film and Protective laminate can be dispensed on separate webs, the big advantage that when overlapping the two parts as good as no shifts and a tailor-made, error-prone application of the protective label 3 allows becomes.

Are film piece 2 and label 3 connected in the manner described, can with the adhesive layer 5 on the label 3 adhering part of the carrier 1 are removed. Is the Carrier 1 perforated along the fold line 4, so the now surplus part of the Carrier 1 even separated and must not be dragged along.

The material thus prepared can now be adjusted to the desired conditions applied paint spot. For this purpose, the carrier 1 is completely removed and the Remaining piece of film 3 with glued label 3 on the intended location 13 applied.

Fig. 3 shows the mentioned as applied to the desired location 13 combination from foil piece 2 and label 3. If the label 3 serves as a paint protection label, then in this condition a paint done. The to be protected before painting, For example, provided with a type label areas on the film piece 2 are covered by the label 3. After carrying out the painting can then Base layer 8 are removed by pulling on the grip tab 6. It should be in the Case in which grip tab 6 and base layer 8 are not integrally formed the adhesive 7 between base layer 8 and grip tab 6 a greater adhesive force as the adhesive layer 12 between base layer 8 and protective layer 9 to prevent tearing of the grip tab 6. The same applies to the Adhesive layer 11 between the protective layer 9 and the piece of film 2. The adhesive layer 11 has a greater adhesive force than that between the protective layer 9 and the base layer 8. Ideally, the adhesive layer 11 has the highest adhesive force of all used Adhesive layers. For a permanent sealing of the film piece 2 is guaranteed.

By removing the base layer 8 by pulling on the grip tab 6 of the part of the foil piece 2 to be protected before painting is uncovered again.

Fig. 4 shows the sealed with the protective layer 9 piece of film 2 after removing the Base layer 8. In the case of a transparent protective layer 9 come on the Foil piece 2 located captions or the like, before painting protect, were reappeared. Due to the protective layer 9 can on the underneath the labels are no longer manipulated without the Protective layer 9 damage.

In addition to the embodiment of the material web according to the invention as a carrier with Type plate and paint protection label are not other two-component solutions locked out.

In Fig. 5 is another embodiment of the material web according to the invention shown. The on the carrier are in turn a piece of foil 2 and a Cover Label 3. The overlay label 3 is here as a seal label formed and has for this purpose a protective layer 9 and an adhesive layer 11. The Adhesive layer 11 is preferably a hot melt adhesive after crimping the backing 1 is activated along the folding line 4 by heating the arrangement and the Sealing piece 2 by fusing with the protective layer 9 sealed.

The material web according to the invention is thus suitable for numerous applications. So For example, the foil piece 2 can only carry a label or with a such by imprinting, embossing, punching or manual lettering manufacturer or be provided by the user. The label 3 can then turn through Umfalzen be connected to the film piece. For example, the label only from a transparent or covered with an opaque layer transparent film or the like. So information can be on the Afterwards, the film can be over- or covered with a protective layer. For example, an opaque layer may be made to be manual Influence ("scratching") is removable and the information on the foil piece 2 then be released again:

In Fig. 6 is a device for processing the material web according to the invention shown. The material web is first fed to a printer 14, which the film piece 2 with a print, an embossing, a punching or a caption. In the case in which webs used be provided in which the overlay label 3 with a cover 10 - In particular, this is the case when the overlay label 3 by means of a Adhesive layer to be attached to the film piece - this can be done by means of a special device (not shown) removed before or after printing become. The thus prepared material web then passes into a Umfalzeinrichtung 15 in which the carrier 1 is folded along the fold line 4. In the case in which the combination of cover label 3 and foil piece 2 is to take place by means of a hot melt adhesive, behind the Umfaltzeinrichtung 15 is a Device for heating the folded material web provided (not shown). Alternatively, this heating device can also be in the Umfaltzeinrichtung 15th be integrated. After leaving the Umfaltzeinrichtung and squeezing the Both wings of the web, the carrier by means of a cutting or Slitting device 16 are severed in the region of the fold line 4. The one with the Cover label 3 connected part of the carrier is then connected via a Separation device 17 out and separated from the rest of the web. Material webs are used along the fold line 4 a perforation identify, they can also without a cutting or slitting the Separation device 17 are supplied, since the carrier 1 along the folding line 4th through the perforation has a weak point at which the carrier in the Separation device is automatically disconnected. The behind the Separation device 17 remaining part of the web can then by means of a dedicated splitter (not shown) into individual Labels are cut up. This is especially desirable when processing the web should produce labels for manual dispensing. Is not this desired, it is alternatively possible, by means of a behind the Separation device 17 connected automatic dispenser 18 the arranged on the remaining part of the carrier labels consisting of the Combination overlap label 3 and foil piece 4, automatic dispensing.
