Description

The invention relates to an informative label, which

  will find particular application in the

packaging field.

  In particular, the label is intended in particular to be fixed on any object or product in order to be able to identify or designate the object or the product

or their content.

  In this field, it is becoming more and more common to provide consumers with a lot of information. This information can be an indication of the quality of the product, of a user's manual or of the usual precautions.

  be advertising or commercial.

  The problem then is to find a compromise between the contact surface with the object or the product, that is to say the adhesive surface of the label itself, and the useful surface to allow

printing information.

  Adhesive informative labels are known on this subject, consisting of an adhesive base element and an information element laminated subject to the

  least partially to said basic element.

  In this case, the information element is constituted by a sheet that is folded several times to form at least one back sheet and a front sheet, the latter having a surface greater than that of the back sheet so as to cover it completely, and being attached, for example, to an adhesive strip on the base member. Furthermore, the backsheet is also attached to the base element via a second line of adhesive, for example. In addition, these embodiments have on both sides of the front sheet dashed lines of grubbing up in order to access information on the information element and

  especially on the back slip.

  labels of the same structure are also known, that is to say in which the information element is constituted by a folded sheet several

2 2694831

  times to constitute a multitude of sheets, on which are carried information, but in which the back sheet is fixed on both sides of its vertical edges, and the front sheet has a substantially identical surface so that the free end of the front sheet is fixed, not on the base element, but on the end of the leaflet which is under it,

especially by a line of adhesive.

  In all these embodiments, the informative element has on one of its songs the end of the accessible cover sheet, which in some cases is tempting for untimely opening or in other cases degrades the aesthetic presentation of the label. . The purpose of the present invention is to provide an informative label, in particular an adhesive label, intended to be fixed on an object, which makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of known systems, and whose edges of the information element are wound to increase the safety of In this respect, the label and its aesthetics, the informative label, in particular adhesive, intended to be fixed on an object, consisting of a base element and an information element with sheets, the said information element being subjected at least partially to said base member and, having an upper sheet overflowing from the other sheets, is characterized in that the overhang is folded towards the base member, and fixed at least partially on the latter to maintain the said

sheets.

  Under these conditions, the two side edges of the label are protected and whatever the thickness of the information element, there is no risk of snagging at this level In addition, this gives an aesthetic

remarkable to the label.

  Another advantage of the present invention is to propose such an informative label whose information printing surface does not constitute a limit. In particular, the present invention allows the presentation of this information in the form of a bound booklet, which

  will then be subject to the adhesive base element.

  Another object of the present invention is to propose an informative label which makes it possible to control access to the information, and which in an alternative embodiment nevertheless has means for facilitating

access to information.

  Other purposes and advantages of this

  invention will appear in the course of the description which will

  follow, accompanied by the attached drawings which form an integral part of it, but which is however only

  indicative and not intended to limit it.

  Figure 1 shows a front view of a mode of

  embodiment of the label according to the present invention.

  Figure 2 shows a bottom view of

  the label on the edge shown in Figure 1.

  FIG. 3 shows a section, the dimensions of which have been exaggeratedly enlarged for the purpose of understanding, of the label of FIG. 1 along the axis

III-III.

  FIG. 4 shows a view from below, with enlarged dimensions for understanding, of a variant

  embodiment of the label of the present invention.

  The invention relates to an informative label, particularly adhesive, and particularly intended to be

  attached to any object or product.

  It should nevertheless be noted that such an application is in no way limiting for the present invention; the objective being to propose a label whose surface allows numerous informative inscriptions, technical, commercial, advertising, aesthetic or others, in order to satisfy the needs of the

  manufacturer, distributor or consumer.

  FIG. 1 shows, seen from the front, an embodiment of the label of the present invention in which the label 1 consists of a basic element 2

  and an information element 3 with sheets.

  In a traditional way, the base element 2 may consist, for example, of an adhesive frontal material, with the desired dimensions of the deposited label.

  on a non-stick protector 4, in strips or sheets.

  Regarding the informative element 3, it advantageously consists of several sheets, intended to increase the printable area relative to that of the base element 2 This element can be in the form of a booklet whose different sheets are connected, according to known techniques by gluing, stapling or others, as shown particularly in Figures 1 to 3, or may be constituted by a single sheet folded on itself to form several

  leaflets, as shown in Figure 4.

  In addition, the informative element 3 is subjected, at least partially, to the base element 2. For example, the backsheet, identified in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, or 6 in the embodiment of FIG. is bonded to the base element 2, by coating 7; 8, at least

  partial, one of the faces vis-à-vis.

  This thus immobilizes the informative element 3 relative to the base element 2, and the maintenance on the label; however, the leaf (s) before

  the informative element remain free.

  In order to immobilize all the sheets of the information booklet, according to the present invention, the upper sheet, indicated 9 in the context of FIGS. 1 to 3, and 10 in the context of FIG. 4, projecting from

other leaflets 11; 12.

  In each case, the overflow 13; 14 thus formed is folded back to the base element 2 as the

  show particularly enlarged figures 3 and 4.

  In addition, this overflow 13; 14 is fixed, at least partially, on the base member 2, which will cause the maintenance of the sheets and protect their songs in particular. In the latter case, as shown in the figures, the overhang 13; 14 is folded under the other sheets 11; 12 and is sandwiched between the backsheet 5, 6 and the base member 2, and then stuck on it.

  last by a glue coating for example 15; 16.

  In other words, in the case where the informative element 3 is constituted by a leaflet of bound leaflets, the various inner leaflets 11 are wound between the rear cover 5, or rear leaflet, and the front cover, or upper leaflet 9, of the booklet. , which is a sort of sheath for

all leaflets.

  The information contained in the booklet is then protected and inaccessible from the outside of the label This being so, to facilitate the opening, when it is desired, and particularly to allow access to the informative element 3, the label may have a tear strip, marked 17; 18 according to the

  scenarios, provided at said overflow 13; 14.

  Advantageously, as shown particularly in Figures 3 and 4, the tear strip 17; 18 is fixed on the upper sheet 9; 10 between the ends of the other leaflets 11; 12 and the line of

folding 19; 20 of said overflow.

  The tear strip 17; 18 as for it is in the form of a ribbon of material, including plastic, glued to the back of the upper sheet 9; 10, according to the desired tearing direction By way of example, an adhesive polypropylene tape or "cellophane" (registered trademark) will be used. However, it could also be envisaged to use a paper tape,

fabrics or nonwoven.

  Moreover, to facilitate tearing, it can be provided on both sides of the tear strip 17; 18, at least partially, dots of initiation of rupture or cutting, simulated by the dashed lines 21, 22

  in Figure 3 or 23, 24 in Figure 4.

  Moreover, it should be noted that one of the lines 22 can be provided; 24 dotted cutting in correspondence with the fold line 19; 20 of the said

corresponding overflow 13; 14.

  With regard to the material of the informative element, it is possible to use paper or any other material such as plastics, fabric or non-woven material, all of which are intended to be printed or not. depending on the quality of the label, resistance or aesthetics sought. It should be noted that it will be possible to choose a difference of materials between the inner sheets and

  the so-called front and back covers.

  Moreover, as regards the fixing of the different elements, as the case may be, on the basic element, provision may be made either for gluing each of the elements to be fixed or for a single gluing of the element of

base with selective areas.

  Naturally, other implementations of the present invention, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could have been envisaged without departing from the

of the present invention.
