Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Identification wristbands are commonly used in a hospital or other setting to promote the easy identification of patients or other wearers. In the instance of a hospital use, a patient is generally provided with an identification wristband that is secured about the wrist of the patient upon admission to the hospital. In addition, a number of labels for use in identifying fluid samples, medications, charts, folders, papers and other common hospital objects specific to an admitted patient are often printed when a patient is admitted. 
     Often, the labels and wristbands are printed separately. The wristband is placed on the patient, while the labels are put into a patient chart, or otherwise saved for later use. However, in an effort to streamline patient admission procedures, and in light of the widespread use and low cost of computer driven printers such as laser printers, it has become desirable to print the labels and wristbands in a single step. 
     Accordingly, it is desired to provide an improved form of a combined wristband and printable label sheet.

     Alternatively, separate webs of liner material and label face material may be unwound from a roll and fed mechanically into a process by which a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to either the liner material or label face material, and then the liner material and label face material are laminated to together with the pressure sensitive adhesive interposed between the liner material and label face material. In such an application the pressure sensitive adhesive may be coated edge to edge or it may be coated in a pattern with voids of adhesive where required. 
     In step  802  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8A , one or more flexographic printing presses apply one or more release patches comprising silicone or another type of release coating to the surface of the label face material. Such flexographic printing presses also may apply colored inks. If advantageous to improve the performance of the silicone or other type of release patch material, a primer may be printed prior to printing the silicone or other release coating. In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the silicone that is used is free radical ultraviolet curable silicone, in which the silicone is printed with conventional flexoprinting technology and then is cured in a ultraviolet curing system that exposes the uncured silicone to ultraviolet light. In such cases, the flexographic printing step shown on  FIG. 8A  includes a ultraviolet curing step. In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, such an ultraviolet curing system comprises nitrogen to promote the cure. Other embodiments of the present disclosure may use ultraviolet curable silicones that do not require nitrogen to cure, but such silicones may be less reliable for consistent release values. Still other embodiments of the present disclosure use release coatings that do not contain silicone and may or may not require ultraviolet light to cure or dry. 
     In step  803  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8A , after the flexographic printing step, the web of label material then travels through rotary die stations, where the web of label material can be die cut to create multiple labels, label cavities, slits, peel tabs, lines of weakness, perforations, punched holes for insertion into binders or folders, or any other specified die cutting. Such die cutting may be die cutting of the label face material only, the liner material only, or both the label face material and the liner material. 
     In step  804  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8A , the web of label material proceeds to a punching station where pinfeed holes are punched in ½″ margins at each edge of the web of label material, to facilitate registration of the web of label material in the process during which wristbands are applied to the web of label material (discussed hereinafter). 
     In step  805  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8A , if required for the wristband label sheet design, portions of the label face material are removed. For example, it may be required for the wristband label sheet design that the border comprising the outer edges of the label face material be removed prior to delivery to a customer. In such a case, the border can be separated from the portion of the label face material that is desired to remain by a die cut through the label face material only, and then the waste at the border of the label face material can be peeled off at a waste removal station and then wound on a waste roll or sucked away by a vacuum removal system. 
     In step  806  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8A , after printing of release patches, die cutting, and punching of pinfeed holes, the web of label material is rewound onto rolls that will be furnished to the patching machine process. 
     In step  807  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B , the rolled web of label material from step  807  is unwound and fed into a patching machine, wherein one or more wristbands will be applied to the web of label material. 
     In at least one alternative embodiment of the present disclosure, the steps shown as step  806  and step  807  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B  may be omitted. In such an embodiment, the web of label material proceeds to step  808  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B . 
     In step  808  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B , the punched pinfeed holes in the web of label material engage with a pinfeed mechanism of the patching machine. The pinfeed mechanism of the patching machine pulls the web of label material into and through the patching machine by pins that penetrate the previously punched pinfeed holes and rotate on gear driven shafts to drive the web of label material through the patching machine at a predetermined feed rate. 
     In step  809  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B , a roll of wristband material (such as, for example, a roll of a polyester material) is unwound mechanically and fed into the patching machine. According to at least on embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the wristband material on the roll of wristband material is the same as the desired width of the wristband to be applied to applied to the web of label material (discussed hereinafter). 
     In step  810  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B , if required for the wristband label sheet design, lines of weakness are cut into the unrolled wristband material at a perforating station. 
     In step  811  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8B , the patching machine coats one or more stripes of adhesive on the underside the web of wristband material polyester at an adhesive coating station. 
     In step  812  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8C , the patching machine cuts each wristband to a predetermined length. For example, if the finished product required a 1″ long wristband, the patching machine cuts off a 1″ length of wristband material from the roll of wristband material. In an exemplary embodiment where a 1″ long, 10.75″ wide wristband is to be applied to an 8.5″ long label sheet, the 10.75″ wide web of wristband material is fed by computer controlled nip type feed rollers at a rate of 1″ for every 8.5″ of label material is that is fed through the patching machine. Although a 1″ long wristband is used this example, the wristband can be any length. The length of the wristband can be controlled by entering a desired length in the computerized controller for the nip type feed rollers. The adhesive striped, optionally perforated, web of wristband material is fed at the chosen rate to a vacuum cylinder. The vacuum cylinder holds the web of wristband material in place while a cutting cylinder cuts a wristband of the predetermined length from the web. The vacuum cylinder serves as a cutting anvil for the knife of a cutting cylinder. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a liquid silicone application contacts the knives of the cutting cylinder to prevent the exposed adhesive that is on the web of wristband material from sticking to the knives of the cutting cylinder. 
     In step  813  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8C , after the wristband is cut to length, the vacuum cylinder carries each cut-off wristband to an impression roller that is wrapped by the web of label material. At the impression roller the wristband is transferred from the vacuum cylinder to the face of the web of label material. The wristband is applied such that one or more of the adhesive stripes on the underside of the wristband are aligned with one or more of the release patches on the label face material. The wristband is adhered to the web of label material by the adhesive stripes that were applied to the underside of the wristband. The patching machine comprises gearing that keeps the cutting cylinder and vacuum cylinder in time with the pace at which the patching machine&#39;s pinfeed mechanism moves the web of label material. 
     In step  814  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8C , if required for the wristband label sheet design, the ½″ margins (including the pinfeed holes) are mechanically trimmed off of the web of label material at a trimming station. 
     In step  815  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8C , if required for the wristband label sheet design, the web of label material including the applied wristband is mechanically cut into sheets at a sheeter station, with each sheet containing one or more wristbands as required by the wristband label sheet design. The sheets are fed into a batcher/stacker, and then may be shrink-wrapped and packaged. Sheeting is an alternative to the fanfolding step discussed hereinafter. 
     In step  816  of the embodiment of the present disclosure shown in  FIG. 8C , if required for the wristband label sheet design, the web of label material including the applied wristband may be fanfolded in-line with a mechanical folder or by gravity in waterfall fashion, with each fanfold containing one or more wristbands as required by the wristband label sheet design. The wristband label sheet design may require the ½″ margins with pinfeed holes to be left on the fanfolded web of label material. Fanfolding is an alternative to the sheeting step discussed above.
