[0027]
[0028] A first embodiment of the label with a stand-up mechanism is described below with reference to
[0029] The label 1 with stand-up mechanism comprises a base part 100, which has an adhesive coating 110 on its underside U100 for adhering the label 1 to a substrate. The label 1 also comprises a stand-up part 200, which is connected in one piece to the base part 100. In contrast to the base part 100, the stand-up part 200 is non-adhesive or weakly adhesive on the underside. For example, the underside of the stand-up part 200 may have no adhesive coating or may be coated with an adhesive that is covered by an adhesive killer.
[0030] The stand-up part 200 is configured such that the stand-up part can be set up by folding along a stand-up line/fold line 30 at an angle greater than 0 to the base part. The stand-up line/fold line 30 can run parallel to a first transverse side Q1 and a second transverse side Q2 of the label and perpendicular to a first longitudinal side L1 and a second longitudinal side L2 of the label. Other arrangements of the stand-up line/fold line 30 are possible. The stand-up line/fold line 30 is located between the base part 100, which is configured to be adhesive on its underside, and the stand-up part 200, which is configured to be non-adhesive.
[0031] The stand-up part 200 has a stand-up foot 210 for standing up and aligning the stand-up part 200 at an angle to the base part 100. The stand-up part 200 also has a pulling element 220 for folding out the stand-up foot 210 from a plane of the stand-up part 200.
[0032] The stand-up foot 210 is formed as an area punched out of the material of the stand-up part 200. For providing the stand-up foot 210 in the stand-up part 200, a first punching line 231 and a second punching line 232 are arranged in a material of the stand-up part 200. The stand-up foot 210 is formed in an area of the stand-up part 200 between the first punching line 231 and the second punching line 232.
[0033] The first punching line 231 and the second punching line 232 are arranged at a distance from one another in the material of the stand-up part 200. The two punching lines 231 and 232 each extend from the stand-up line/fold line 30 into the material of the stand-up part 200. As can be seen in
[0034] Furthermore, the first and second punching lines 231, 232 can be arranged in such a way that they run at a right angle to the stand-up line/fold line 30. The first and second punching lines 231, 232 have the same length.
[0035] The stand-up foot 210 is separated from a material of the base part 100 by a third punching line 233, which extends along a section, for example a middle section, of the stand-up line/fold line 30. As can be seen in
[0036] The stand-up foot 210 can be formed as a region 10 punched out of a material of the stand-up part 200, which is connected on one side to the material of the stand-up part 200. The stand-up foot 210 can, for example, be formed as a rectangular area in the stans-up part 200, as shown in
[0037] The first and second punching lines 231, 232 extend from the stand-up line/fold line 30 and in particular from a first and second end of the third punching line 233 or from the respective first E231a, E232a of the first and second punching lines in the direction of the transverse side Q2 into the material of the stand-up part 200. The first and second punching lines 231, 232 have a respective second end E231b and E232b, which is located at a distance from the second transverse side Q2 of the label 1. The first and second punching lines 231, 232 thus end in the material of the stand-up part 200 at a distance from the second transverse side Q2 of the label 1. This means that no punching line extends between the respective second end E231b and E232b of the first and second punching lines 231, 232, so that the stand-up foot 210 is connected to the stand-up part 200. The stand-up foot is thus configured as a fold-out tab in the stand-up part 200, which can be folded out of the stand-up part 200 at a crease line between the two ends E231b and E232b.
[0038] As can be seen in
[0039] The pulling element 220 has a further adhesive layer 252 on a second section 222 on its upper side for adhering the pulling element 220 to the stand-up foot 210. The upper side of the pulling element 220 is the side facing the stand-up foot 210. The second section 222 of the pulling element 220 is an end portion of the pulling element, which is located adjacent to the stand-up line/fold line 30 and at a distance from the first end portion 221 of the pulling element.
[0040] The pulling element 220 has a third section 223, which is arranged between the first section 221 and the second section 222 of the pulling element. The third section 223 of the pulling element 220 is non-adhesive on the upper side and the lower side.
[0041]
[0042] As shown in
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] By extending the pulling element 220 beyond the vertical of the stand-up foot, the stand-up foot 210 slides into a new position from which the stand-up part 200 no longer returns to the initial position and thus, in the case of an RFID label, fixes the antenna part 320 in an upright position. When the stand-up part 200 is over-extended, the stand-up foot 210 lifts off the ground. At the same time, the middle section 223 of the pulling element 220 is also raised further and forms an extended support for the stand-up foot, so that the stand-up part 200 can also be held securely in an over-extended position (
[0046] As can be seen from
[0047] A second embodiment of the label with a stand-up mechanism is described below with reference to the label 2 shown in
[0048] Similar to the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the label 2 also comprises a base part 100, which has an adhesive coating 110 on its underside U100 for adhering the label 2 to a substrate. Furthermore, the label 2 comprises a stand-up part 200, which is connected in one piece to the base part 100 and is non-adhesive or weakly adhesive on the underside. For example, the underside of the stand-up part 200 may have no adhesive coating or may be coated with an adhesive that is covered by an adhesive killer.
[0049] In the second embodiment of the label 2, the stand-up part 200 is also configured such that the stand-up part can be set up by folding along a stand-up line/fold line 30 at an angle greater than 0 to the base part 100. The stand-up line/fold line 30 can run parallel to a first transverse side Q1 and a second transverse side Q2 of the label and perpendicular to a first longitudinal side L1 and a second longitudinal side L2 of the label. Other arrangements of the stand-up line/fold line 30 are possible. The stand-up line/fold line 30 is located between the base part 100 and the non-adhesive stand-up part 200.

[0051] The stand-up foot 260 is formed as a first region punched out of the material of the stand-up part 200. To form the stand-up foot 260, a first punching line 241 and a second punching line 242 are arranged in a material of the stand-up part 200. The stand-up foot 260 is formed in a region of the stand-up part 200 between the first punching line 241 and the second punching line 242. The first and second punching lines 241, 242 are arranged at a distance from one another in the material of the stand-up part 200 and extend from the stand-up line/fold line 30 into the material of the stand-up part 200.
[0052] As can be seen in
[0053] The second embodiment of the label 2 has, in addition to the punched-out first region 10, which forms the stand-up foot, a punched-out second region 20, which is arranged in the material of the base part 100. The punched-out second region 20 has a first longitudinal side L20a, which extends into the material of the base part 100 as an extension of the first punching line 241 starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30. In addition, the punched-out second region 20 has a second longitudinal side L20b, which extends in the extension of the second punching line 242 starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30 into the material of the base part 100. The punched-out second region 20 has a transverse side Q20, which is arranged at a distance from the first transverse side Q1 of the label. The transverse side Q20 can, for example, run parallel to the transverse side Q1 of the label.
[0054] The stand-up part 200 has a third punching line 243, which extends into the material of the stand-up part 200 starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30 and at a distance from the first punching line 241. In addition, the stand-up part 200 has a fourth punching line 244, which extends into the material of the stand-up part 200 starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30 and at a distance from the second punching line 242. The third and fourth punching lines 243, 244 are arranged at a distance from one another.
[0055] As can be seen in
[0056] The pulling element 270 has a first section 271, which is arranged in the stand-up part 200 between the third and fourth punching lines 243, 244. Furthermore, the pulling element 270 has a second section 272, which is arranged in the punched-out second region 20 of the base part 100. The second section 272 of the pulling element 270 has a first longitudinal side L272a, which extends into the material of the base part 100 in extension of the third punching line 243 starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30. Furthermore, the second section 272 of the pulling element 270 has a second longitudinal side L272b, which extends into the material of the base part 100 in extension of the fourth punching line 244, starting from the stand-up line/fold line 30. In addition, the second section 272 of the pulling element 270 has a transverse side Q272 which is arranged at a distance from the transverse side Q20 of the second punched-out region 20.
[0057] The second section 272 of the pulling element 270 can be separated from the remaining material of the base part 100 by a punching. In particular, the first longitudinal side L272a of the pulling element is separated from the longitudinal side L20a by a punching and the second longitudinal side L272b of the pulling element is separated from the longitudinal side L20b of the punched-out second region 20. The transverse side Q272 of the pulling element 270 can be separated from the transverse side Q20 of the punched-out second region by a punching line.
[0058] The second portion 272 of the pulling element 270 has an adhesive layer 253 for adhering the pulling element 270 to a substrate at an area on its upper surface facing away from the lower surface U100 of the base part 100. The region of the pulling element 270, on the upper side of which the adhesive layer 253 is arranged, extends from the transverse side Q272 of the pulling element 270 to a distance away from the stand-up line/fold line 30.
[0059] The adhesive layer 253 can, for example, be arranged on an end region of the pulling element 270.
[0060] In an embodiment of the label 2 with an RFID function, the label has an RFID inlay 300 comprising an RFID chip 310 and an antenna 320. The antenna 320 is connected to the RFID chip 310. The RFID inlay is arranged on the stand-up part 200. As shown in
[0061] Similar to the first embodiment of the label, in the second embodiment of the label 2, the pulling element 270 is formed such that the stand-up foot 260 is folded out of the plane of the stand-up part 200 when the pulling element 270 is adhered to a substrate with the adhesive layer 253 and the stand-up part 200 is set up by folding along the stand-up line/fold line 30.
[0062] In order to activate the stand-up mechanism, the pulling element 270 is first folded over at a crease line 40 onto the underside U200 of the stand-up part 200, as shown in
[0063] When the stand-up part 200 is raised, the pulling element 270 pulls the stand-up foot 260 out of the plane of the stand-up part 200. As a result, the stand-up foot 260 is folded out and supports the stand-up part 200. The two stub feet 281 and 282, which are formed between the punching lines 241 and 243 and 242 and 244 respectively, support the stand-up part 200 on the substrate. In the second embodiment of the label, the stand-up part 200 can also be set up by the stand-up foot 260 either perpendicular to the base part 100, i.e. at an angle of 90 to the base part 100, or at an angle, for example at an angle between 60 and 90, or over-extended, at an angle between 90 and 120, to the base part and securely fixed in the stand-up position.
[0064] A third embodiment of a label 3 with a stand-up mechanism is described below with reference to
[0065] The label 3 with stand-up mechanism comprises a base part 100, which has an adhesive coating 110 on its underside U100 for adhering the label 3 to a substrate. The label 3 also comprises a stand-up part 200, which is integrally connected to the base part 100. In contrast to the base part 100, the stand-up part 200 is non-adhesive or weakly adhesive on the underside. For example, the underside of the stand-up part 200 may have no adhesive coating or may be coated with an adhesive that is covered by an adhesive killer.
[0066] The stand-up part 200 is configured such that the stand-up part can be set up by folding along a stand-up line/fold line 30 at an angle greater than 0 to the base part. The stand-up line/fold line 30 can run parallel to a first transverse side Q1 and a second transverse side Q2 of the label and perpendicular to a first longitudinal side L1 and a second longitudinal side L2 of the label. Other arrangements of the stand-up line/fold line 30 are possible. The stand-up line/fold line 30 is located in an area of the stand-up part 200 that is adjacent to the base part 100. The stand-up line/fold line 30 can be formed as a groove or slit or perforation in the material of the stand-up part in order to enable the stand-up part 200 to be folded/set up.
[0067] The stand-up part 200 has a stand-up foot 210 for standing up and aligning the stand-up part 200 at an angle to the base part 100. The stand-up foot 210 is formed from a plurality of support elements/feet 211. The support elements can be formed as punchings in the material of the stand-up foot. Similar to the first embodiment of the label, a first punching line 231, a second punching line 232 spaced therefrom and a third punching line 233 are arranged in the material of the stand-up part 200 to form each of the support elements 211. As can be seen in
[0068] The two punching lines 231 and 232 each extend from the ends of the third punching line 233 into the material of the stand-up part 200. The first and second punching lines 231, 232 can run at a right angle to the third punching line 233. The third punching line 233 can run parallel to the stand-up line/fold line 30. Each support element 211 is thus formed as a region 10 punched out of the material of the stand-up part 200, which is connected to the material of the stand-up part 200 on a side opposite the third punching line 233.
[0069] The support elements 211 are arranged along the stand-up line/fold line 30 in such a way that the stand-up line/fold line 30 intersects each support element 211 or each punched-out region 10. The stand-up line/fold line 30 can run as an extension of the third punching line 233 or intersect the punched-out areas at a different point, for example a middle point of the punching lines 231, 232. The positioning of the punched-out regions 10 relative to the stand-up line/fold line 30 and the size or depth of the punching starting from the punching line 233 in the direction of the transverse side Q2 determine the stand-up angle of the stand-up part 200. The stand-up foot is thus formed as a plurality of fold-out tabs in the stand-up part 200, which can be folded out of the stand-up part 200.
[0070] The label 3 can be equipped with an RFID function and in this embodiment comprise an RFID inlay 300 having an RFID chip 310 and an antenna 320. The antenna 320 is connected to the RFID chip 310. The RFID chip 310 and in particular the antenna 320 are arranged on the stand-up part 200. As shown in
