Description

_ 7207727-4 2 label strips according to the appended claims, where each concretization includes label material with a layer of pressure-sensitive rubber on the underside. The rubber ring separates the label material against the support or carrier material in a separable manner. The laminated frame in each of the concretizations preferably has label material with the same width as the carrier material. The flap material and the frame of carrier material have straight side edges and the labels are created by cutting through the label material along its entire width at places which are equidistant from each other in the longitudinal direction. Uar and one of these factors contribute to ease and economy in the manufacture of pressure sensitive labels.

The invention relates in particular to the cut provided in the carrier material to enable the frame to be fed to the printing and application zones of the label. Cutting anite is preferred not only through the carrier material but also preferably into and preferably through the label material, so that the label is easily torn off when attempting to move after it has been applied to the product. The cuts in the carrier material serve to facilitate the feeding of the rhyme.

In a special concretization, the cut is made in groups located longitudinally along the frame with each group usually of I-shaped appearance with a short longitudinal or vertical stop cut and a short transverse or horizontal stop cut at a certain distance from each end of the longitudinal cut.

An easily broken valley remains between each end of the longitudinal section and the respective transverse cross section. Each such group of cuts is made in the carrier material and should preferably also be made in the same way in the label material.

In this concretization, preferably transverse cuts should be made over the label material through a point halfway between the ends of the longitudinal axis cuts of each group of cuts. This results in a cut through each end edge of each label and that cut through the edge is particularly advantageous to prevent the label from being replaced after attachment to the product.

Each resulting label has a standard T-shaped cut at each end edge. As a variation on this concretization, further transverse cuts can be cut in the end edges of the label, but not in the carrier material to further impair the exchangeability of the labels after they have been applied to the product.

In another embodiment of the invention, both the carrier material and the label material are provided in a manner spaced apart from each other, which usually have an I-shaped appearance. In this concretization, the longitudinal or vertical stop section of each group overlaps the corresponding transverse or horizontal stop section, thereby providing a feed hole in the support material and thereby a pair of tabs with a traneveral extension and a normally T-shaped section at each tag end is formed. In this concretization, the label material is preferably cut transversely through the midpoint of each longitudinal section in each group of sections.

In another embodiment of the invention, both the carrier material and the label material are provided with longitudinal cross-sections at a certain distance from each other, each of which usually has a U-shaped appearance. In this concretization, the vertical stop section in each group is in line with but at a distance from the horizontal stop section.

In two other concretisations, there are groups of cuts at a certain distance from each other in both the carrier and label material. These groups of sections are placed in a multi-sided geometric configuration. In one of these concretions, now described in more detail, each group of cuts forms a usually triangular pattern and in another concretization, each group of squares is provided with a pair of curved sections separated by a tear-off part.

In another concretization, the support material of the strip is provided with short transverse cuts in each side edge. When the strip comes into contact with a toothed propeller, the strip portion is bent between the cuts in the side edge to the side of a tooth in the toothed propeller and the tooth hooks into a propulsion surface or edge at the respective cut, thereby enabling the laminated strip to be advanced to the reaming and the affixing zones for the labels.

As a variation on this concretization, a group of three or more cuts can be made in each side surface of the carrier material and preferably also in the label material. This design is particularly advantageous when the frame is to be advanced by contact with a gear or small diameter propeller. In such a case, each tooth on the toothed gear will bend away from the flaps in the side edges and come into contact with a feed edge in the carrier material, which is formed by an edge in a cut. Since the rhyme partly passes around the ring gear, which has a small diameter, the flaps will bend outwards at sharp angles relative to each other.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a single, transverse short cut is made in each side edge of the carrier material at intervals at a certain distance from each other in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the transverse cross-sections extending transversely of the label material to provide the labels should be spaced longitudinally from the short transverse cuts in each side edge of the strip support material.

In this concretization, the teeth of the toothed propeller which comes into contact with the support material of the strip will deflect the part of the support material which is closest to the short cuts in the strip and the teeth will come into contact with the feed surfaces formed by the short transverse the cutting sections for feeding the laminated strip.

In this device chosen, one of the spoke cross-sections in each group gives rise to a feed edge and another cut together with the tear-off part constitutes the method chosen for weakening the frame in the adjacent area and especially after the respective feed edge in the feed direction. The strip is forced to undergo a sharp change of direction at a separating edge where the markers are gradually separated from the strip. From here, the remaining support frame is guided into contact with a toothed propeller. The toothed propeller separates the tear-off part through a forward tooth, after which the tooth pulls on the remaining frame to feed the laminated frame and to carry out the separation of the marking lip.

Description of selected concretizations.

Referring to the embodiments of Figures 1 to 8 and especially to Figures 2, 3 and 4, there is shown a laminated strip 30 of label material 31, which is releasably attached to and carried by the support or support material 32. The label material 32 is cut transversely through transverse section 33, which extends all the way across the strip 31 with label material to the aido edges 34 and 35 of the laminated strip 30 as best shown in Figures 2 and 4.

The cuts 33, also called "fimps", divide the frame 31 with label material into a series of labels 36, which lie edge to edge.

The side edges of the label material as well as of the carrier material are straight and the label material has the same extent as the carrier material. 7207727-4 8 The underside of the strip 31 with label material has a layer of pressure-sensitive rubber 37 which adheres strongly to the strip 31 with label material.

The bummer is shown here extending over the entire underside of the label material also to the side edges 34 and 35 of the strip 30. The strip 32 of carrier material is coated with a thin film or layer (not shown), which allows the labels to be separated from the strip 32 by carrier material.

The laminated strip 30 is provided with groups 38 of cut sections located at equal distances from each other and at equal intervals along the length of the strip 30.

Each group 38 of cuts is shown extending through both the support material and through the label material. Each group 30 of cuts is shown made in a usually I-shaped configuration consisting of a straight longitudinal or vertical stop 39 in the carrier material and a single and overlying straight longitudinal or vertical stop 39 L in the label material. At a certain distance from one end of the vertical stop sections 39 S and 39 L, there are straight transverse or horizontal end sections 40 S in the carrier material and 40 L in the label material. At a certain distance from the end of the vertical stop sections 39 5 and 39 L, there are single straight transverse or horizontal stop sections 41 S in the carrier material and straight transverse or horizontal end sections 41 L in the label material. The part of the frame 32 between the one end of section 39 S and section 40 S gives a tear-off part 43 S and the part of the frame 32 between the other end of section 39 L and section 41 L gives a tear-off part 42 L.

As a variation on the depicted section groups 38, the units 40 L and 40 S may be omitted in which case section 39 S will be extended by tearing when tooth 48 contacts the strip 32 at section 39 S. This would result in groups of sections, each of which has a generally T-shaped appearance as shown in Figure 25.

Referring now to Figure 1, the laminated strip 30 is shown in the form of a roller, where the strip is rolled up on a body 44. In the body 44 a shaft 45 can be inserted and around which the roller can rotate freely in the direction of the arrow 46.

The roll is rolled up in such a way that the label material lies on the outside and on the upper side in relation to the frame 32 with carrier material.

A toothed propeller generally designated 47 is shown in the form of a driven cam with teeth 48 located in a plane around the circumference of the drive wheel 47 and equidistant from each other. The drive wheel 47 is used to propel the laminated frame first to a pressure zone at which a type travel 48 'and a press plate 49 are located. A relatively sharp separating edge 50 is schematically imaged as if it were located at the leading edge of the pre-plates. The strip of carrier material 32 is pulled around the separating edge 50 by the toothed drive wheel 47. A applicator 51 is located beyond the separating edge 58 and on the same side of the label as the type press 48 '. The applicator 51 is shown taking the form of a conventional applicator roller. However, if desired, other types of applications may be used such as a piston, piston or the like. The laminated strip 30 usually approaches the pressure and application zones in the direction of the arrow 52 and after passing around the separating edge 50, the strip 32 usually carries carrier material in the direction of the arrow 53 and passes partly around the guide roller or shaft 54; From the guide rollers 54 the strip 32 passes partly around the toothed drive wheel 47. From there the strip 52 passes partly around a guide roller or shaft 55 and then the strip 32 is guided by means of guides in the direction of the arrow 56. The toothed drive wheel 47 is rotated stepwise through a pawl and ratchet mechanism so that the laminated strip 38 after rotation of this mechanism is pulled out to the correct length so that the labels can be pressed in one or more steps and so that a label is advanced to the application zone at which the applicator 51 performs the application of the finished label on the product M. The belt 32 passes between the outer surface of the toothed drive wheel 47 and a guide or holding plate 57 shown in Figures 1,6,7 and 8. When the drive wheel 47 rotates, successive teeth pass in contact with suocessive groups of cuts in the strip 32. When a tooth engages in the strip 32 at a longitudinal cut 39, the peelable parts 42 S and 43 S are torn off and Qer thereby a f frame feed hole 58. The feed hole 58 thus formed receives the tooth 48 and folds the flaps 58 and 59 'to the side.

As can best be seen in Figure 7, the articulation plate 57 has a concave portion 6D with a groove 61 in the same plane as the teeth 48. The transverse tabs 59 and 59 'are shown when they enter the groove 61 and when the tooth 48 is in the feed hole 58. As best shown in Figures 6 and 7, each tooth 48 terminates in a sharp tip 62; which serves to facilitate the wear of the tear-off parts 42 S and 43 S. The articulation plate 57 has flanges 63 and 64 which are in guide contact with the edges 65 and 66 of the frame 32.

The distance between the teeth 48 along the periphery of the drive wheel 47 is the same as the distance between the groups 38 of cuts along the longitudinal direction of the laminated strip SD. The teeth 48 are identical and only one is shown in detail in an upright side view in Figure 8. Figure B shows the tooth 48, which has involved-shaped surfaces 67 and 68 and which enables the tooth to easily make a feeding hole 58 in the strip 32. , which has partially passed around the guide rollers 54 and is also able to move just as easily out of the saturating hole just before the strip 32 partially passes around the roller 55. As shown in Figure B, the surface 67 of the tooth 48 is in driving contact with the the leading edge 69 of the feed hole 58. The surface 68 of the tooth 48 is shown to be slightly spaced from the subsequent edge 70 of the feed hole.

The groups 38 of cuts do not substantially affect the integrity of the strip 32 until the saturation holes are made by the teeth of the drive wheel 47 or similarly.

There are no flaps or patches, as in the prior art, which result in weakening of the strip 32 at the separation zone where the strength of the strip is particularly important. In addition, there are no tabs; which may result in possible interference with the feed of the strip. Furthermore, the types of cuts that form group 38 allow the laminated strip 30 to be fed in both directions with equally good results. With the prior art in U.S. patent granted to E.C. Marchall No. No. 3,501,365, the laminated strip can be fed in only one direction using the cut edge. This invention is not limited to providing the strip with a group 38 of cuts across the outer end of each tag. Since this is the selected device, the group 38 of interfaces may extend across the outer end of every other label or the groups 35 of interfaces may be located within the circumference of each label or, if desired, of each other label.

The concretization with the laminated strip 30A, shown in Fig. 9, is identical to the concretization of the laminated strip 30 and is used in the same manner except that the laminated strip 30A has at least a short, straight and transverse section 80 on the side of each outer edge of the strap 32 a.with carrier material. The cuts 80 also serve to prevent the exchange of the marking lips 36a once they have been applied to the product.

The concretization with the laminated strip 30B shown in Figure 10 is identical to the concretization of the laminated strip 30A except that the individual cuts in each group at some distance from each other of longitudinal section groups 38b reach each other. In particular, the laminated strip 30B has a strip 31b of label material and a strip 32b of carrier material has longitudinal or vertical stop sections 90S which extend to transverse or horizontal stop sections 91 S and 92 S. The cuts 90 S, 91 S and 92 S defines transverse tabs or slots 93 and 94. The laminated strip 30B can be delaminated and advanced by the same apparatus shown in Figures 1 and 6 through 8. Sections 91S and 92S provide drive holes so that the teeth 48 on the toothed drive wheel can pass through the belt as the drive wheel 47 rotates.

H 7207727-4 A longitudinal or vertical stop section 90 L is made in the label material at the same time as the section 90 S and therefore these two sections are in a single line. Sections 91 L and 92 L are made in the label material at the same time as the units 91 S and 92 are cut and therefore the sections 91 L and 92 L are in line with respect to the units 91 S and 92 S. The sections 90 L, 91 L and 92 L in label material gives a largely T-shaped cut in the outer edge of each label 36 B and consequently this tends to prevent the exchange of labels after they have been applied to the product once.

Referring to the concretization in Figures 11 to 14, a laminated strip 30C is shown comprising a strip of label material 31 C. Transverse end sections equidistant from each other extend completely across the strip 31c with label material at intervals of equal distances to produce marks. pieces 36 c. At a certain distance from each other, short, transverse cuts 100 5 are cut in both outer side edges of the frame 32 c. Short, straight and transverse cuts are cut in each outer side edge of the label material 32 c in one line with the respective cut 100 S in the frame 32 o of carrier material. Each cut 100 S in the carrier material and the corresponding cut 100 L in the label material is preferably made at the same time with the same cutting blade. Referring to Figure 14, a toothed drive wheel 47c is shown which rotates in drive contact with the strip 32c of carrier material. To effect the feed of the laminated strip 30C. When the teeth 4B o come into contact with the strip 32c, they bend the flaps 101 and 102, which is facilitated by a pair of adjacent cutting sections 100 5. A section 100 S in each section pair provides a feed edge 102 at the position of the leading edge when the respective tooth 48c contacts.

Referring to the concretization in Figures 15, 16 and 17, the laminated frame 30D is identical to the laminated frame 30C in the concretization in Figures 11 to 14 except that both the label material 51d and the carrier frame material 32d have been provided with a group of at least three cuts at a certain distance from each other rather than a pair of cuts. Written in detail, transverse groups of sections 110 S have been made at equal distances from each other in the frame 32 d with carrier material. Short transverse cross-section 110 L are cut into each outer side edge of the strip 31 d of label material in line with the respective section 110 S of the carrier material. Each incision 110 5 in the carrier material and the associated incision 110 L in label material is preferably made simultaneously with the same squeegee blade. Referring to Figure 17, there is shown a toothed drive wheel 47d having a substantially smaller diameter than the toothed drive wheel 47 in Figure 14. The laminated frame 30D may preferably be made with at least three cuts because the toothed drive wheel 47d has a small diameter and is easier for the tabs 111 formed by the section 110 L to fold as the strip 52d passes around the inclined drive wheel 47d. Adjacent tabs 111 in a group of tabs extend outwardly and form an acute angle 12 in relationship to each other. The labels are imaged at 36 d.

Referring now to Figure 18, a laminated strip 30 '' is shown with a strip of label material 31e 'and a strip 32e' of carrier material. The strip 32e 'comes into contact with a toothed drive wheel 47e' with triangular teeth 48e '. Transverse sections 33 e 'at equal distances from each other extend over the frame 31 E' of label material at intervals at equal distances to produce labels 36 e '. Transverse, short cuts 120 at a certain distance from each other are made in both outer edge edges of the frame 32 a '. Short transverse sections 120 L are cut in each outer edge of the label material 32 e 'in line with the corresponding section 120 S in the frame 32 e'. Each cut 120 S in the carrier material and the corresponding cutting cut 120 L in the label material is advantageously made simultaneously with the same cutting blade. The toothed drive wheel 47 e 'is shown to rotate in drive contact with the frame 32 e' of carrier material. To effect the feed of the laminated frame 30 E '. The teeth 48 e 'cause deflection of the tabs 112 and contact the propulsion edges 113 at one side of each cut section 120 S.

Referring to Figures 19 and 20, there is shown a wide laminated strip 30 AW, by way of example, for making the laminated strip 30 A. The strip 30 AU is shown as it is fed in the direction of the arrow A. The laminated frame 30 AN consists of label material 31a glued to a carrier strip 32a and which passes between a cutting roller 130 with a plurality of knives 131 and a cooperating cleaning roller 132. The knives 131 move at the same linear speed as the speed of the frame 30 AW and serve to to cut through the strip 31a with label material across its slippery width to make the cutting section 33. A cutting roller 133 and a support roller 134 lie behind the cutting roller 131 and the support roller 132. As the laminated strip 30 AU passes between the cutting roller 133 and the support roller 134, the cutting blades or knives 135, 136 and 137 make transverse cuts 80 only in the frame 31a with label material.

Then two lines are forged with the text P on the strip 31 AN of the printing roller 138 and the retaining roller 139. From here the strip 30 AN passes between a cutting roller 140 and a cooperating support roller 141. The cutting roller 140 has at some distance from each other groups 38 K of cutting blades or knives. Each group 38 K of cutting knives consists of a longitudinal or vertical cutting knife 39 K and of a transverse or horizontal cutting knife 40 K and a transverse or horizontal atop cutter knife 41 K. Each group 38 K of cutting knives makes a group of cutting cuts 38 in the laminated one. the rhyme 30 A. As best shown in figure 20, the knives 39 K, 40 K and 41 K cooperate with the support roller 141 without any play. Consequently, each of the knives 39 K, 40 K and 41 K cuts completely through the strip 31 a and the frame 32 a, while the knives 131 and 135, 136 and 137 on the respective cutting roller 130 and 133 cut completely through the label material. 31 e but not into the rhyme 32 a.

After the laminated strip 30 AW has passed between the cutting roller 140 and the support roller 141, the strip is cut into a plurality of laminated strips 30A by means of dividers 142 and 143. Each laminated strip 30A can now be rolled up into rolls.

Referring now to Figures 21 and 22, a laminated strip 30 Dm is shown moving in the direction of arrow A 1. The strip 30 DN passes between the cutting roller 150 and the support roller 151. The cutting roller is spaced apart from each other. or knives 152 to make cuts 33 d at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction along the frame 30 DU. At a distance beyond the cutting roller 150 and the support roller 151 there are cutting roller 153 and cooperating support roller 154. The cutting roller 153 has groups of knives 110 K for making a 110 L cut in the label material and for making a cut 110 S in the carrier material at the same time. Located away from the cutting roller 153 and the support roller 154 are cooperating dividing members 155 and 156 which divide the strip 30 Dm in that a plurality of laminated strips 30 D and these laminated strips 30 can be formed into rolls. As can be seen from Figure 22, a cutting blade 152 cuts only through the label material “31 d and not into the frame 32 d of carrier material. However, the cutting blades or knives 110 are set without play relative to the support roller 154 so that each cut 110 S and its corresponding cut 110 L are made simultaneously by the respective knife 110 K.

Referring to the concretization in Fig. 23 and Fig. 24, there is shown a laminated strip 30E, which is identical to the laminated strip 30A in Figure 9, except that the laminated strip 30E has a group 38e of section depicted as generally T-shaped in its composition. The group 38a with sections is shown to be composed of a straight longitudinal or vertical stop section 160 in the carrier material 161 and a single straight and longitudinal or vertical stop section 160 L in the label material 162.

The part of the support material 161 which lies between one end of the section 160 S and the section 163 S gives a tear-off valley 164 L. The flap material 162 is provided with transverse sections 33e, which extend all the way across the frame 152 with marking material as shown in Figure 23. The cut sections 33e divide the label material 162 into labels 36e. The laminated frame 30e differs from the concretization in Figure 9 in that it is shown to have one per short, straight transverse section 165 in each surface account of the labels 147 36e. however, no cuts in the outer edges of the carrier material 161. These cuts 165 serve to prevent the exchange of the labels 36e after they have been applied to the product.

Figure 24 shows a partial view of a toothed drive wheel 47e with a tooth 166 of substantially triangular appearance but having a drive surface 16? formed after the drive surface 67 on the drive wheel 47. When a tooth 166 first contacts the support material, it causes wear of the tear-off portion 164 S and will then give rise to triangular-shaped tabs 168 S as best shown in Figure 24. One tooth 166 is shown in contact with the strip of carrier 161 and a second tooth 166 is shown after contact with carrier 161.

The concretization in Figure 25, in the same way as in the concretization in Fig. 23, usually gives T-shaped groups 38 f of cuts, except that with the laminated strip 3D-F longitudinal or vertical stop cuts 169 S in the supporting material merge with transverse or horizontal stop sections 171 5. There are single-line longitudinal or vertical stop sections 169 L and transverse or horizontal stop sections 171 L in the label material 175. Transverse sections 33 f divide the label material 173 into markings 36 F. The laminated frame 30 F has short, straight and transverse cuts 174 in each outer side edge of the labels 36 f. However, there are no cuts in the outer side edges of the support material 170. The laminated strip 30 F can be advanced with the toothed drive wheel 47e shown in Figure 24.

Although the devices of various sections shown in Figures 10 and 25 reduce the integrity of the strip of backing material, this design is substantially completely free from the disadvantage of folding a flap or fold from the plane of the strip during delamination as in U.S. Patent No. 3,501,365. Such folding of the flaps or folding causes a partial rubber to adhere to the edges of the flap or folding, which must be pulled away from the label material during separation. In addition, such a unfolded flap or fold-up will transfer the rubber to guide and feed surfaces on the apparatus and furthermore flaps can interfere with the feed when the strip of carrier material is pulled out by means of a toothed drive wheel.

Referring to Figure 26, there is shown a laminated strip 30 G. Each group 38 g of possible section is shown in a U-shaped location and comprises longitudinal section 175 at a certain transverse distance from each other and a transverse section 176 S of the carrier material strip 177. The cut sections 175 S lies at a distance from and in line with the terminations of section 176 5. The part of the support material 7207727-14 17 177, which lies between the drains on sections 175 S and section 176 S gives tear-off parts 178 S. The label material 179 has a transverse section 175 L at a certain distance from each other and a transverse section 176 L. The horizontal sections 175 L are spaced from the terminations of the transverse section 176 L to provide tear-off parts 178 b. The label material 179 is provided with a transverse section 33 g to give the labels 36 g. The laminated strip 38 G has short, straight and transverse cuts 188 in each outer edge of the carrier material 177. It is preferable to use the laminated r. the shaft 38 G together with the drive wheel 47 with its teeth 48, which have a design best seen in Figures 7 and 8, rather than using teeth 166 of triangular design as shown in Figure 24.

In the concretization according to Figure 28, a laminated strip 38 H is shown, which has groups 38 h at intervals at regular distances from each other. Each group 38 h of section has a short transverse section 181 5 and one per convergent section 102 S in the carrier motor belt 183. The front ends of the sections 182 5 lie in a three-way single line with the transverse section 181 5. One of the sections 182 5 lies on some distance from the corresponding end of section 181 S to give a fold line 183 5. The second section 182 S is at a certain distance from the other end of the transverse section 181 S to give fold line 184 5. The other ends of the sections 182 5 lie at a certain distance from each other to provide a tear-off part 185 5. The label material 186 is provided with sections 181 L and 182 L, which lie in a single line with respective sections 181 S and 182 S in the carrier material 183. The sections 181 L and 182 L and short, straight and transverse cuts 187 serve to prevent the exchange of labels after these have been applied to the product. In the concretization in Figure 28, each group 38 h of incision has been selected in a position between the end edges of the markers 36 h, which is limited by transverse incision 33 h.

As shown in Figure 29, the toothed drive wheel 47e has a tooth 166 which has worn off the tear-off valley 185 in the support material 183 and which is shown in drive contact with the support material 183. There is obviously a tab 188S vikee along each cut 181S and the fold lines 183 S and 184 S, respectively. For an assured wear of the tear-off part 185 5, the length of the tear-off part 185 S is approximately half as long as the fold line 183 S and half as long as the fold line 184 S. The length of the fold lines 183 S and 184 S and the length of section 181 S are equal.

With reference to the concretization in Figure 30, here the laminated strip 38 K has been provided with groups 38 k of cut sections. Each group 38 k of section comprises curved sections 197 S in a strip of support material 198. One end of the sections 197 S lies at a relatively substantially transverse distance from each other on the laminated strip 30 K. The other the ends of the cuts 19? S are separated from each other only by the relatively narrow and tear-off part 198 S. The group 38 k of sections also includes curved sections 197 L in the frame with label material 199. The sections 197 L are in line with the sections 197 in the support material 198. Transverse section 33 ki of the label material 199 constitutes the end of the labels 36 k. The cuts 197 L and the cuts 200 in the label material serve to prevent the exchange of labels once they have been applied to the product.

Referring down to Figure 31, the toothed drive wheel 47e is shown in drive contact with the strip of support material 198. One of the teeth 166 is shown after tearing off the tearable portion 198S and when it is in drive contact with the support material 196.

Figure 32 shows a concretization of a laminated strip 30 L, which is identical to the concretization in Figure 9 with the exception that a laminated strip 30 L is shown to have a further group 381 of cuts between the outer edges of the labels 361, which are produced by transverse section 331. In addition, each label is provided with two transverse sections 201 in each outer edge.

Figure 33 shows a laminated strip 30 N with labels, which is identical to the laminated strip shown in Figure 23, except that a further group of 38 m of cuts are inserted between the end edges of the labels, which are formed by transverse sections 33 m.

Figure 34 shows another concretization of the laminated strip 30 N, which is identical to the laminated strip 30 in Figure 2, except that the cut groups 38 n only partially cut through the label material 20 L, as best shown in Figure 35. It is also apparent from Figure 35 that the group 38 n of cuts extends all the way through the carrier material 203. While the device shown in Figures 34 and 35 really significantly weakens the label material to make the labels 36 n more difficult to exchange once they brought on goods, they are less effective in this context than would be the case in the concrete ring according to Figure 9. Figure 36 is a view similar to Figure 35 showing how the longitudinal section there is partially cut through the label material 204 instead. In order to completely cut through the label material as shown by the concretions in Figures 1 to 9 or as opposed to a partial cross-section of the label material 202 which is shown in Figures 3 4 and 35. Thus, in the concretization according to Fig. 36, the laminated strip 30 P has a squamous group 38 P which passes completely through the carrier material 205 and through the label material 204 at a certain distance from each other so that tongues or strips or the like remain between continuous cross section 207.

It is within the scope of this invention to make the cuts 33, 39 L, 39 S, 40 L, 40 S, 41 L, 41 S, 90 L, 90 S, 91 L, 91 S, 92 L, 92 5, 53 o, 100 L, 100 S., 110 L, 110 8, '33 e ', 120 L, 120 S, 33 e, 160 L, 160 S, 163 L, 163 S, 33 f, 169 L, 169 5, 171 L , 171 S, 33 g, 176 L, 175 S, 176 L, 176 S, 33 h, 181 L, 181 S, 182 L, 182 S, 33 k, 197 L, 197 S and 331 by incision, perforation or on similar way instead of a complete cut through the respective label or carrier material. However, it is preferable to make a warthobh one of the incisions which delimit a feed edge to a continuous incision rather than a scratching or perforating incision.
