Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a laminate formed by stacking sheet-like members. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, products in which a sheet-like member is peeled off from a laminate and used, such as stickers, have been used for various purposes. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a name tag sticker that can adopt various designs by printing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-300609 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The inventors have discovered that when attaching a laminate to a predetermined object such as food, it may not be desirable to attach it directly, and in such cases it is desirable to attach it via a predetermined attachment member. However, conventional laminates do not take into consideration the attachment of such attachment members, and this has sometimes limited the objects to which the laminate can be attached.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to propose a technique that expands the range of situations in which laminates can be effectively used. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One aspect of the present disclosure is a laminate formed by stacking a first member and a second member, both of which are sheet-shaped, wherein the first member has a connection portion for connecting a predetermined mounting member to the laminate, and at least a portion of the second member is a peel-off portion configured to be peelable from the first member.

[0007] In the above-described laminate, a convex portion that is thicker than the surrounding area and protrudes to the opposite side is formed on the surface of the second member that faces away from the first member.

[0008] The laminate thus constructed can be attached to various objects via the attachment members, allowing the laminate to be effectively used in many situations. In addition, the protrusions can improve the feel and aesthetics of the laminate.

[0009] In the laminate described above, the second member may have the peeled portion and a peripheral portion provided around the peeled portion, and may have an area where the convex portion is not formed at the boundary between the peeled portion and the peripheral portion. With this configuration, the outer edge of the peeled portion can be emphasized.

[0010] The above-mentioned convex portions may be formed by printing. In this case, the degree of freedom in the shape of the convex portions is increased, and the aesthetic appearance can be easily improved.

[0011] In the laminate described above, the connecting portion may be annular and configured to be able to engage with the mounting member. With this configuration, the mounting member and the connecting portion can be connected by engaging the mounting member and the connecting portion.

[0012] In the laminate described above, the connecting portion may have an adhesive layer that can be fixed to the mounting member. With this configuration, the mounting member and the connecting portion can be connected by bonding them together with the adhesive layer.

[0013] In the laminate described above, the connecting portion may be provided at a position different from the peel-off portion. With this configuration, the connecting portion does not get in the way when peeling off the peel-off portion, making it easier to peel off the peel-off portion. Furthermore, peeling off the peel-off portion does not affect the function of the connecting portion, and the connection state with the mounting member can be maintained.

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. [1. First embodiment] [1-1. Structure of the laminate] 1A and 1B is attached to another member such as food using an attachment member such as a cocktail pin, and includes a first sheet 11, a second sheet 12, and an adhesive layer 13. The adhesive layer 13 is disposed between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, thereby integrating the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12. The first sheet 11 is an example of a first member of the present disclosure, and the second sheet 12 is an example of a second member and a release portion.

[0016] First sheet 11 has connecting portion 14. Connecting portion 14 is a hole that penetrates first sheet 11 in the thickness direction, and forms a ring-shaped body together with the surrounding portion of the hole in first sheet 11. In other words, the through-hole becomes the hole of the ring-shaped body. Adhesive layer 13 is strongly adhered to first sheet 11 and is configured not to peel off easily.

[0017] Second sheet 12 is smaller than first sheet 11 when viewed from above, and is not provided in the area where connection portion 14 is formed. One surface of second sheet 12 contacts adhesive layer 13. A peelable film is provided on the surface of second sheet 12 that contacts adhesive layer 13. Therefore, when force is applied to second sheet 12 in a direction to peel it from first sheet 11, it peels off from adhesive layer 13 relatively easily, and second sheet 12 is peeled off from first sheet 11.

[0018] Furthermore, protrusions 15 are formed on the other surface of the second sheet 12. The protrusions 15 form a pattern and are formed by printing. The materials of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are not particularly limited, and they can be formed by laminating paper, resin, metal, etc. The specific composition of these is not particularly limited. The specific composition of the adhesive layer 13 is also not particularly limited, as long as it is configured to be detachable.

[0019] Figure 2 shows an example of how the laminate 1 can be used. The attachment member 3 has an annular body with a portion cut off at its end, and the connection portion 14 can be engaged with this annular body to secure it in place. By using the laminate 1 and attachment member 3 in this way, the laminate 1 can be attached to the food 5 without the laminate 1 coming into direct contact with the food 5. Furthermore, the laminate 1 can be easily removed from the attachment member 3, so the laminate 1 can be easily taken out on its own.

[0020] [1-2. Manufacturing method of the raised portion (pattern)] As shown in Fig. 3, a paper feed section 21, which is made up of a series of laminates on which no protrusions 15 are formed, is wound around a plurality of rollers 22 and passed through an inkjet device 23. In the inkjet device 23, a pattern (protrusions 15) is formed by inkjet printing. After the pattern is formed, the paper is wound again to form a wound body 24. In order to form the convex portions 15, printing is repeated multiple times in the inkjet printing process to form a sufficient thickness. The roll 24 on which the protrusions 15 are formed is then cut into the desired shape of the laminate 1.

[0021] [2. Second Embodiment] 4A and 4B is attached to another member such as food using a cocktail pin or the like, as in the first embodiment, and includes a first sheet 31, a second sheet 32, and an adhesive layer 33. The adhesive layer 33 is disposed between the first sheet 31 and the second sheet 32, thereby integrating the first sheet 31 and the second sheet 32.

[0022] The first sheet 31 and the second sheet 32 ​​will be described below with respect to differences from the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 of the first embodiment. The first sheet 31 has the same basic shape as the first sheet 11, but differs in that an adhesive layer 33 is disposed over the entire surface.

[0023] The second sheet 32 ​​has the same outer edge shape as the first sheet 31 when viewed from above, and includes a first region 32a and a second region 32b. The first region 32a and the second region 32b are separated by a cut portion 32c formed by half-cutting. The second region 32b is disposed so as to surround the periphery of the first region 32a. The first region 32a is an example of a peelable portion, and the second region 32b is an example of a peripheral portion.

[0024] The first region 32a has protrusions 35a that form a picture. The second region 32b has protrusions 35b that form letters. Thus, the display content formed by the protrusions differs between the first region 32a and the second region 32b. The cut portion 32c, which is the boundary between the first region 32a and the second region 32b, has an area along the cut portion 32c where no protrusions are formed.

[0025] In addition, a connection portion 34 is formed in the second region 32b. This connection portion 34 differs from the connection portion 14 in that it is a hole that penetrates both the second sheet 32 ​​(second region 32b) and the first sheet 31.

[0026] 3. Third Embodiment The laminate 1b of the third embodiment shown in Figure 5 has the same configuration as the laminate 1 except that the shape of the connection part differs from the connection part 14 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same symbols as those of the laminate 1 are used for the configuration other than the connection part, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0027] The laminate 1b has a connecting portion 41 having an attachment area for attaching a rod-shaped mounting member 3a to an end of the first sheet 11. The connecting portion 41 is wrapped around the mounting member 3a, and is bonded and fixed to the mounting member 3a by an adhesive layer. That is, the connecting portion 41 is a portion to which adhesive is applied. Note that, although Fig. 5 illustrates a configuration in which the connecting portion 41 is provided on the first sheet 11, the connecting portion 41 may also be provided on the second sheet 12.

[0028] [4. Fourth Embodiment] The laminate 1c of the fourth embodiment shown in Figure 6 has the same configuration as the laminate 1 except that the shape of the connection part differs from the connection part 14 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same symbols as those of the laminate 1 are used for the configuration other than the connection part, and detailed explanations are omitted.

[0029] The laminate 1c has an annular connecting portion 51 that protrudes from a part of the first sheet 11. By having the connecting portion 51 protrude in this manner, the position of the connecting portion 51 is easy to find, and the method of using the connecting portion 51 can also be easily understood from its shape.

[0030] [5. Fifth Embodiment] 7, the laminate 1d of the fifth embodiment is similar to the laminate 1a of the second embodiment in that the second sheet 42 has the same shape as the first sheet. The connecting portion 34 has the same configuration as the second embodiment. The second sheet 42 has characters printed thereon that are not raised.

[0031] The second sheet 42 includes a first region 42a and a second region 42b. The first region 42a and the second region 42b are separated by a heart-shaped cut portion 42c formed by half-cutting. This allows the heart-shaped first region 42a to be separated by peeling off the first region 42a, which is the peelable portion. Of course, only the second region 42b may be peeled off and used.

[0032] In the first region 42a, a protrusion 45a is formed at a fixed distance from and along the cut portion 42c. In the second region 42b, a protrusion 45b is formed at a fixed distance from and along the cut portion 42c. Both the protrusion 45a and the protrusion 45b are heart-shaped. On the other hand, no protrusion is formed in a certain range including the cut portion 42c.

[0033] [6. Sixth Embodiment] The laminate 1e of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 8A is similar to the laminate 1c of the fourth embodiment except for the outer peripheral shape, so the same reference numerals as those of the laminate 1c are used for similar components, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] In the laminate 1e, the outer edge shape of the second sheet 62 follows the outer edge shape of the protrusion 15, and the outer edge shape of the first sheet 61 follows the outer edge shape of the second sheet 62. In other words, the second sheet 62, which is the peel-off portion, and the first sheet 61 have similar shapes.

[0035] 8B, the second sheet 62 may be separated into a first region 62a and a second region 62b by a cut portion 62c. In this case, the second sheet 62 has the same shape as the first sheet (not shown). The first region 62a corresponds to the peel-off portion. [7. Effects] According to the embodiment described above in detail, the following effects can be obtained. (1a) The laminates 1 to 1f of this embodiment are all laminates formed by laminating a sheet-like first sheet and a sheet-like second sheet, and the first sheet has a connecting portion for connecting a predetermined mounting member to the laminate. Furthermore, at least a portion of the second sheet is a peelable portion configured to be peelable from the first sheet. Because of this configuration, a mounting member can be attached via the connecting portion. Therefore, the laminates can be attached to various objects via the mounting member, and can be effectively used in many situations.

[0036] (1b) In the laminates 1 to 1f of the present embodiment, a convex portion that is thicker than the surrounding area and protrudes to the opposite side is formed on the surface of the second sheet facing away from the first sheet. With this configuration, the convex portion can improve the feel and aesthetics.

[0037] (1c) In the laminates 1a, 1d to 1f of this embodiment, the second sheet has a first region that is a peelable portion and a second region that is a peripheral portion provided around the peelable portion. The boundary between the peelable portion and the peripheral portion also has a region where no protrusions are formed. This configuration allows the outer edge of the peelable portion to be emphasized by the protrusions. Furthermore, the above-mentioned convex portions are formed by printing, which increases the degree of freedom in the shape of the convex portions and also makes it possible to easily improve the aesthetic appearance.

[0038] (1d) In the laminates 1, 1a, 1c to 1f of this embodiment, the connecting portions are annular and configured to be able to engage with the mounting member. Because of this configuration, the mounting member and the connecting portions can be connected by engaging them. The above-described connecting portions 14 and 34 are examples of annular shapes that include a through hole and its surrounding area. The term "annular" here is not limited to a circular ring shape or similar shapes.

[0039] (1e) In the laminate 1b of this embodiment, the connecting portion 41 has an adhesive layer that can be fixed to the mounting member 3a. With this configuration, the mounting member 3a and the connecting portion 41 can be connected by bonding the mounting member 3a and the connecting portion 41 with the adhesive layer.

[0040] (1f) In the laminates 1, 1a, 1c to 1f of this embodiment, the connection portion is provided at a position different from the release portion. This configuration prevents the connection portion from getting in the way when the release portion is peeled off, making it easier to peel off the release portion. Furthermore, peeling off the release portion does not affect the function of the connection portion, and the connection state with the mounting member can be maintained.

[0041] 8. Other Embodiments Although the first to sixth embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it goes without saying that the present disclosure is in no way limited to the above-described embodiments and can take various forms as long as they fall within the technical scope of the present disclosure.

[0042] In the above-described embodiments, a laminate having a convex portion formed by inkjet printing has been exemplified. However, the convex portion may be formed by a method other than inkjet printing. For example, the convex portion may be formed by other printing methods such as silk printing or gravure printing. The convex portion may be large enough to be easily recognized by a person's finger when touching it. For example, a height of 0.2 mm or more allows the size to be easily recognized, but a height less than this is also acceptable. The convex portion may be formed in either the first region or the second region, or may be formed so as to overlap the cut portion (32c, 42c, 62c).

[0043] The protrusions may be formed by a method other than printing. For example, the second sheet may be made of a material whose thickness is adjusted in parts. The protrusions may be formed by compression or expansion due to pressure or heat. For example, the protrusions may be formed by embossing.

[0044] In the above-described embodiments, sheet-like first and second sheets are exemplified as examples of the first and second members of the present disclosure. However, as long as lamination and separation are possible, the specific configuration is not particularly limited, and the material, thickness, hardness, and the like can be set as desired. Furthermore, the first and second members may be processed into a sheet shape after lamination. Note that the term "sheet-like" broadly refers to a shape that is sufficiently thin relative to its size, such as paper, film, cloth, or thin plate, and the specific thickness is not particularly limited.

[0045] In the above-described embodiments, the first sheet and the second sheet are fixed together using an adhesive layer. However, the first sheet and the second sheet may be fixed together by other methods. For example, they may be fixed together by suction without using an adhesive or glue. Furthermore, the adhesive may remain on the second sheet side (the peeling portion side) after the first sheet and the second sheet are separated.

[0046] In the above-described embodiments, the mounting member 3 having a ring-shaped member has been exemplified as the mounting member. However, the specific configuration of the mounting member is not limited to that described above, and various configurations can be adopted, such as a configuration in which the mounting member engages with the connecting portion, a configuration in which the mounting member is joined by adhesion or cohesion, or a configuration in which the mounting member is fixed by sandwiching the connecting portion between parts of the mounting member.

[0047] The connecting portion refers to a portion that cooperates with the mounting member to fix the laminate and the mounting member. Therefore, the connecting portion can take various forms. For example, as in the case of the laminate 1g shown in FIG. 9 , when the mounting member 3b and the laminate 1g are joined using adhesive tape 71, the adhesive tape 71 and the portion of the first sheet 11 to which the adhesive tape 71 is attached form the connecting portion 72.

[0048] In the above embodiments, multiple functions of one component may be realized by multiple components, or one function of one component may be realized by multiple components. Furthermore, multiple functions of multiple components may be realized by one component, or one function realized by multiple components may be realized by one component. Furthermore, part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be omitted. Furthermore, at least part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be added to or substituted for the configuration of another of the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
