The present invention refers to a label comprising a pasting part for pasting said label to an object and comprising an electronic device preferably for a radio frequency identification (RFID). In order to improve such a label, it is suggested that the electronic device is pivotably connected to said pasting part.
41. Device according to claim 35, wherein the supporting plates are movable from a flat position in which their surfaces form essentially a plane for abutment of the label into a second position, in which the surfaces of the first supporting plates are essentially facing each other.
The present application is a 35 U.S.C. §371 National Phase conversion of PCT/EP2005/010497 filed Sep. 28, 2005, which claims priority of European Patent Application No. 04077912.6 filed Oct. 22, 2004 and claims priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-098062 filed Mar. 30, 2005. The PCT International Application was published in the English language.
The present invention relates to a label comprising at least one pasting part comprising an adhesive agent for pasting the label to an object and comprising a holding part for holding an electronic device, preferably for radio frequency identification (RFID) and to a method for applying such a label to an object, as well as an object with a label and a device for applying the label to an object.
Labels comprising a RFID tag are used for example for tracing, recognising and identifying different objects such as beverages, blister packs, cartons, pallets, etc. Generally, a label comprising a RFID tag is usually referred to as a “smart” RFID label.
The object of the present invention is solved by a label of the aforementioned kind wherein said pasting part being foldable with respect to the holding part to allow said holding part to protrude from said object if said pasting part is pasted to said object.
In the present invention, recording by printing using a printer can be performed on the RFID label without any interference by the unevenness or thickness of the IC tag holding part.
The invention will now be explained with reference to preferred embodiments of the invention which are depicted in the drawings.
In FIG. 1, 10 indicates one unit of an RFID label according to an embodiment of the present invention. This RFID label 10 is constructed substantially from a strip-shaped label substrate 11 consisting of a single material or composite material such as a paper, plastic film, synthetic paper, non-woven fabric or the like, an adhesive agent 12 which is applied as a coating to the back surface of this label substrate 11, the abovementioned IC tag 4, and a peeling paper 19 whose surface is coated with a peeling agent such as silicone or the like.
FIG. 10 shows an example in which the folding lines or bent parts 17 and 18 of the RFID label 10 are formed by perforations, the boundaries between the respective RFID labels 10 in the peeling paper 19 are formed by perforated cutting lines or slits 22, and the boundaries between parts of the label substrate 11 are formed by slits or perforated cutting lines, or both the peeling paper 19 and the label substrate 11 use perforated cutting lines. Specifically, the boundaries between the respective RFID labels 10 are formed by perforations in either the peeling paper 19 or label substrate 11, or both. Furthermore, a “scissors” symbol 29 for cutting is printed in the vicinity of these cutting lines 22.
In regard to the bent parts 17 and 18 of the label substrate 11 of the RFID label 10, FIG. 11 is similar to FIG. 10; in this example, however, perforations or slits 30 are formed in the peeling paper 19 coinciding with or in close proximity to the positions of the abovementioned bent part 17 (or 18). In this case, following cutting into respective units of the RFID label 10, the bending or folding of the label substrate 11 at the bent parts 17 or 18 can easily be performed with the peeling paper 19 temporarily attached “as is”; accordingly, the convenience of handling during the attachment work is greatly improved.
The label according to the invention can be applied to the object in the following manner. After removing the backing liner 19, an operator may apply the RFID tag to the holding part. Due to the adhesive material on the holding part, the RFID tag will be attached to the holding part 14. In a next step, the operator will fold-over the stroke part 15 such that the stroke part covers the holding part 14 and thus, the holding part and the stroke part are connected with the RFID tag 5 located in-between. The holding part 14 and the stroke part 15 form the flap F. The label can now be applied to the object in the manner shown in FIG. 1. When applied, the flap F forms a freely extending protrusion with respect to the volume of the object whereby the flap is pivotably connected to the pasting part 13 a and also to the second pasting part 13 b. The flap F can be pivoted at about 180° such that the holding part or the stroke part may abut against the respective pasting sections. Particularly when handling large objects, the flap F can be moved manually by an operator in order to improve reading of the stored data on the RFID tag.
