Tape for Printed Label Production and Process for Producing Tape

Abstract

There are utilized at least two kinds of ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns with different chromophore, which is spun out of dope kneaded with a fluorescent material. When ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns and colorless yarns are wound around a beam or drum with or without infrared-fluorescent yarns, ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns are arranged repeatedly in specific color order in the traverse direction during the warping operation. These yarns as the warp are woven into a wide textile with a wide loom. In this weaving, ultraviolet- and infrared-yarns are interwoven in specific color order in parallel with each other over the entire width of the wide textile, which is cut into tapes with heating in the broader width than a space where the color order may be identified.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a tape of obtaining informative printed labels whose specific repetitive pattern can identified by irradiation of ultraviolet and / or infrared rays to confirm a genuine article with the label, and a process for manufacturing appropriately the tape of various width from a wide textile having the same repetitive pattern.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In recent years, there has concentrated popularity on goods to which a famous brand is sewn and then a large amount of imitation goods for which the brand is used illegally have appeared in a domestic clothing market. As this result, affairs where sales on famous brand goods are not only inhibited but also confidence in the quality of the brand goods is lost have happened frequently. Especially, since imitation goods are manufactured by low-paid worker of under-developed country and imported and sold at a farther low price than famous brand goods, they give remarkable damage to manufacturer and di...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0036]A tape according to the present invention is not for woven label where color yarns are interwoven, but is substantially colorless and plain under a visible light for the purpose of printing washing-indication, trade mark or the like on the label. The tape of the present invention is often composed of simple satin weave in which ultraviolet- and infrared-fluorescent yarns are easily interwoven in parallel over the entire width thereof. The tape of the present invention is colorless by irradiation of a visible light, accordingly the identification of red, blue and / or green chromophore is easy by irradiating the tape with ultraviolet and / or infrared rays so that the specific repetition pattern can be recognized surely.

[0037]The printed label made of the tape according to the present invention is identical with a normal label under a visible light even if ultraviolet- and infrared-fluorescent yarns are interwoven into the tape. In case of doubting whether the goods is genuine or spurious, it is possible to confirm that the specific repetition pattern is recognized by irradiating the printed label with ultraviolet and / or infrared rays. In this printed label, the specific repetition pattern by interweaving ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns etc. cannot be distinguished by visual observation only, accordingly forgery manufacturer finds it difficult to manufacture the same label. As for the garment or the like on which the printed label are sewn, the imitation article is certainly prosecuted at the early stage by means of the printed label even if it resembles such closely that a professional dealer in garment cannot identify from the outside thereof.

[0038]In the process for producing a tape of the present invention, ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns etc. are interwoven repeatedly in specific color order while weaving a wide textile and plural tapes may be simultaneously made of the wide textile, provided that the tape width is more than the color order can be distinguished. Label manufacturer will accordingly provide basically one kind of wide textile and preserve a beam wound with warped yarns for each customer even if the size of printed label for which the customer gives an order is various. Label manufacturer can easily provide printed label used for security label for each customer even if customers who utilize various sizes of printed label exceed one hundred companies, and he can also manage and preserve the labels easily.

[0039]In this producing process, ultraviolet-fluorescent yarns are merely interwoven with normal colorless yarns while weaving the wide textile. It is not necessary to arrange another assembly or additional process when interweaving yarns, but it is possible to manufacture inexpensive printed label for security with nearly the same equipment as previous. By virtue of the present invention, label manufacturer may not only deliver printed labels with washing indication or descriptive labeling to garment-production user, but also he may deliver white plain tapes to customer who will print desired washing indication or descriptive labeling. It is therefore feasible for label manufacturer to achieve increment of sales amount and expansion of market about white tapes in addition to selling printed labels.

Problems solved by technology

As this result, affairs where sales on famous brand goods are not only inhibited but also confidence in the quality of the brand goods is lost have happened frequently.

Especially, since imitation goods are manufactured by low-paid worker of under-developed country and imported and sold at a farther low price than famous brand goods, they give remarkable damage to manufacturer and distributor of famous brand goods.

It is difficult even for those skilled in the art to distinguish the imitation goods from famous brand goods because the imitation goods closely resemble the famous brand goods as dyeing and needlework technologies advance rapidly about clothing.

The imitation goods are therefore sold through the route similar to the famous brand goods for a long term and manufacturer and distributor of the famous goods brands sustain a big loss.
