[0003]

The size of the label (the display area of the label) depends on the shape and size of the container to which the label is attached. For this reason, it is often difficult to display all desired display contents on the label surface. In such a case, the characters and design patterns are reduced and printed to cope with the problem. However, there are drawbacks in that the display contents are difficult to read, and the advertisement and the advertising effect are weakened. As an alternative, prepare written instructions, instructions, etc. separately from the label on the container surface,
A method of storing this in a paper box container together with the product, or using a book-shaped leaflet label has been used.

You. Since the flag 20 is attached to the container while being attached to the tubular main body portion 10, there is no need for troublesome handling such as when an instruction manual is attached, and there is no risk of being lost during the use process of the product. .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the tube label of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a state where the tube label is attached to the mouth of the bottle 2. The tubular main body 10 is made of a heat-shrinkable plastic film, and the flag 20 is made of a non-heat-shrinkable film. Flag 20 has an edge on one side (base edge)
Are joined along the body length direction of the tubular main body 10 and extend outwardly of the tubular main body 10 in a fin-like manner. Required characters, symbols, patterns, and the like are displayed on the surfaces of the cylindrical main body 10 and the flag 20 by printing.
The display printing of the flag 20 is performed on both front and back surfaces as desired.

[0007] The non-heat-shrinkable film forming the flag 20 is a film which does not substantially undergo a surface-reducing shrinkage deformation due to heat.
Examples include a heat-resistant plastic film such as a polyester film subjected to a heat setting treatment after stretching, paper, synthetic paper, metal foil, or a laminate film formed by any combination thereof. As the heat-shrinkable plastic film forming the tubular main body 10, a heat-shrinkable plastic film similar to that forming an ordinary tube label is optionally used. Cylindrical body 1
Mounting flag 20 for 0, as shown in FIG. 3, the joint (overlapping margin of the film opposite edges) 13 of the heat-shrinkable film of the cylindrical main body portion 10, sandwiching a base edge 20 ₁ of the flag 20 They may be joined by adhesive or heat sealing or the like, or an appropriate point of the outer surface of the body portion 10 which is formed into a tubular shape, joining overlapping the proximal edge 20 ₁ of the flag 20 (adhesive, For example, a method of performing fusion or the like may be used.

[0008] As shown in FIG.
When the heat treatment (hot air blowing, infrared irradiation, etc.) is performed by the heater H over the mouth of the bottle 2, the cylindrical main body 10
Thermal shrinkage deformation (surface-shrinkage deformation) is generated, and a state in which the shrinkage force is tightly held at the bottle mouth as shown in FIG. Since the flag 20 is non-heat-shrinkable, even if it receives heat during the heat treatment, it does not undergo shrinkage deformation such as wrinkles, wrinkles, and distortion, and its display function is not impaired.

In the tube label 1 shown in FIG. 1, the length of the tubular main body 10 is larger than the width (length in the vertical direction) of the flag 20 (the top edge 11 of the tubular body is located above the flag 20). As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end edge 12 protrudes above the edge and the lower edge 12 protrudes below the lower edge of the flag 20. Is to wrap around the top surface periphery of the cap 4 at the bottle mouth, and to obtain a mounting form in which the lower edge 12 is narrowed down to the lower side of the cap 4. If you do this,
The bottle opening can be connected to the cylindrical main body 1 without causing the flag 20 to be twisted or the like during the heat shrink deformation of the cylindrical main body 10.
0 and can be tightly wrapped, so that the tube label 1 functions not only as a label, but also as a cap seal that ensures the sealability of the container mouth.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of the tube label shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 shows a state where the tube label is attached to the mouth of a bottle. The difference from the tube label of FIG. 1 is that the width (vertical length) of the flag 20 is equal to or larger than the length of the tube of the tubular main body 10 and the upper and lower ends near the base end of the flag 20. To form notches or cuts c, c. By enlarging the width size of the flag 20 in this way, the display area is enlarged accordingly, and the visibility of the label is enhanced. Notches (notches) c, c are provided on the base end side of the flag 20, so that even if the flag 20 is wide, the flag 20 is dragged by the heat shrinkage deformation of the cylindrical main body 10. There is no twisting, and the mounting state shown in FIG. 6 is formed.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
Shows a state where the tube label 1 is attached to the mouth of the bottle 2. Flag 2 of this tube label 10
Reference numeral 0 denotes a laminated film in which two films 21 and 22 of different material types are laminated and integrated, and has a curling property of being spirally deformed by heating as a laminating effect. One film 21 of the flag 20 is a non-heat-shrinkable film (does not cause heat-induced surface shrinkage deformation), and the other film 22 is a heat-shrinkable film. The non-heat-shrinkable film 21 is a non-stretched plastic film, a plastic film subjected to heat setting after stretching, paper, synthetic paper, and metal foil, like the film forming the flag 20 of the tube label shown in FIG. Alternatively, a laminate film or the like which is an arbitrary combination thereof may be used. The heat-shrinkable film 22 to be laminated on the non-heat-shrinkable film 21 may be a film that generates a slight heat shrinkage (shrinkage ratio of about 10% or less) in the lateral direction. The same thing as a film can also be used.

The mounting operation for attaching the tube label 10 to the bottle 2 may be performed in the same manner as the tube label shown in FIG. In the heat treatment for fastening the tubular main body 10 to the mouth of the bottle, heat is applied to the flag 20 to generate heat shrinkage stress on the heat shrinkable film 22 of the flag 20, but the non-heat shrinkable film 21 is laminated. As a result, the surface shrinkage deformation of the heat-shrinkable film 22 is prevented, and as a result, a spirally curled mounting state as shown in FIG. 9 is formed. Spiral flag 20
Can be stretched with a fingertip and its display contents can be visually recognized, and when the finger is released from the flag 20, the display returns to the original spiral state. When the flag 20 has a spiral curl as described above, even if the size of the flag 20 is increased, the flag 20 does not hinder the handling of the product, and the label function is unique due to the peculiarity of the shape. Enhanced. The flag 20 of FIG. 9 has a spiral curled outward,
If the lamination relationship between the front and back of the non-heat-shrinkable film 21 and the heat-shrinkable film 22 is reversed from that of FIG. 7, the curl direction is also reversed, and a spiral shape curled inward can be obtained.

FIG. 8 shows a modification of the tube label shown in FIG. In this example, the flag 20 is formed by lengthening the heat-shrinkable film of the cylindrical main body portion 10 and laminating the non-heat-shrinkable film 21 on the extra length portion 10 ₁ , and a spiral effect is formed on the flag 20 as a laminating effect. Shape curl. In the figure, since the laminated non-heat-shrinkable film 21 (extra length portion of the cylindrical main body) heat-shrinkable film 10 ₁ of the inner side surface, the curl direction by heating, as well as the tube label in FIG. 8, Although it is outward as shown in FIG. 9, if the laminate is turned upside down, the spiral shape curls inward as in the case of the tube label of FIG. 8 described above.

FIG. 10 shows that the tube label is attached to the container.
The form attached to the body of the bottle as the body label is a reference example.
To shows. In this case, the cylindrical main body 10 is
Unlike the case where the main body 10 is mounted on the main body 10, the width of the flag 20 occupies not only the size of the entire body length of the main body 10 as shown in FIG. The shape and size are arbitrary, such as length.
It is also possible to provide the flag 20 with a spiral curl by forming the flag 20 into a laminated structure as shown in FIGS.

In the above description, only the example in which the flag 20 of the tube label has a rectangular shape is shown.
Of course, it is not limited to this, and the design of the shape and contour of the flag 20 is arbitrary. Further, a cut line such as a perforation is provided at an appropriate position of the flag 20 and a part or the entirety of the flag 20 can be cut off along the cut line, so that the cut piece can be used, for example, by a product purchaser. It can also be used as a prize voucher or the like.

According to the present invention, the flag mounted on the mouth of the container is provided.
With the tube label, the necessary product information and various designs can be printed and displayed on the surface of the flag that extends outward from the cylindrical main body. And the like and the use of an outer container for that purpose can be omitted, and the effect of reducing the packaging cost can be obtained. In addition, the flag has a three-dimensional shape in which the flag extends outward from the cylindrical main body that is in close contact with the surface of the container mouth , and the uniqueness of the shape attracts the attention of the purchaser of the product in the store display of the product, and the label The effect of enhancing the function can be obtained. Moreover, a cap for ensuring the sealing property of the container mouth is provided.
