摘要:
The present invention relates to an adhesive transfer device for selectively making a repositionably adherable substrate from a selected substrate. The device comprises a base substrate, a layer of pressure-sensitive repositionable adhesive disposed on the base substrate, a layer of pressure-sensitive permanent adhesive disposed adjacent to the repositionable adhesive layer opposite the base substrate, and structure providing a release surface. The release surface is removably engaged with the permanent adhesive layer opposite the repositionable adhesive layer and the base substrate so as to cover the permanent adhesive layer. The nature of the release surface is such that the base substrate and the structure providing the release surface can be moved apart from one another so as to separate the release surface from the permanent adhesive layer and leave both of the adhesive layers on the base substrate with the permanent adhesive layer exposed, thereby enabling the selected substrate to be adhesively bonded to the exposed permanent adhesive layer. The adhesive layers are provided such that, after the selected substrate has been adhesively bonded to the permanent adhesive layer, the base substrate and the selected substrate can be moved apart from one another so as to separate the base substrate from the repositionable adhesive layer and leaving both the adhesive layers on the selected substrate with the repositionable adhesive layer exposed, thereby allowing the selected substrate to be repositionably adhered to a contact surface by engaging the exposed repositionable adhesive layer with the contact surface. A number of various devices embodying the principles of the present invention are disclosed in the present application, including a tablet having a plurality of adhesive transfer sheets, an adhesive transfer cartridge for use with an adhesive transfer apparatus, and a dispenser for dispensing a length of the base substrate.

The present invention relates to an adhesive transfer device for performing an adhesive transfer operation. The device comprises one or more adhesive transfer sheets. Each of the adhesive transfer sheets comprises a generally flat base substrate providing an adhesive carrying surface, a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive adhered to the adhesive carrying surface of the base substrate, and a generally flat release liner substrate providing a release surface, the release liner substrate being disposed in covering relation over the adhesive layer with the release surface adhering to the adhesive layer opposite the base substrate. The relative strengths of the adhesive bonding between the adhesive carrying surface and the adhesive layer and the release surface and the adhesive layer are such that the adhesive transfer operation can be initiated by moving the release liner substrate and the base substrate relatively away from one another with the adhesive layer remaining adhered to the adhesive carrying surface of the base substrate and then engaging the selected substrate with a portion of the adhesive layer so as to adhere the selected substrate to the adhesive layer portion. The strength of the adhesive bonding between the adhesive layer and the adhesive carrying surface is such that, after the selected substrate has been engaged with and adhered to the portion of the adhesive layer, the adhesive transfer operation can be completed by moving the selected substrate and the base substrate relatively away from one another with the aforesaid portion of the adhesive layer remaining adhered to the selected substrate, thereby allowing the selected substrate to be adhered to a desired surface by engaging the portion of the adhesive layer thereon with the desired surface.

A portable system and method for printing variable information indicia on a reflective sign comprises providing a first polymeric sign component having a surface suitable for receiving a printed image. A definition of an image to be printed on the first sign component is provided to a portable computer. Indicia in the form of images is then rapidly transferred to the surface of the first sign component.

A decal assembly comprises a backing web, a printed label positioned on the backing web, an adhesive web applied over the label and the backing web, and a releasable liner web carrying the adhesive web and applied over the label and the backing web. The label and the adhesive web over the label define the actual decal. In a preferred embodiment, the label is made from retroreflective sheeting. Labels printed with fixed information are provided on a master roll. The endmost label is printed with variable information, separated from the master roll, and then assembled into the decal assembly. For use, the releasable web is peeled back to reveal the adhesive web, the label, and the backing web. The decal (i.e., the label and the adhesive web covering label) can then be separated from the surrounding adhesive web and the backing web and applied to a surface.

Forms that can be used to make stickers easily on demand, wherein the stickers are of the type in which a face of the sticker that bears printed information (graphic, textual, bar code, security, and/or other) also bears an adhesive that is used to affix the sticker to a desired substrate. A carrier sheet supports a sticker body and an adhesive source. The sticker body and the adhesive are initially separated on the form. The sticker face and the adhesive are registrably positioned with respect to a fold line. This allows the adhesive to be transferred to the sticker face on demand by an easy, desirably manual process that involves folding the form along the fold line. When the form is unfolded, the sticker can be remove and applied to the desired substrate.

Polymeric sheeting materials directly thermally printed upon with a thermal printing system and a resin-based colorant/binder. The polymeric sheeting materials comprise a core sheet and a thermally print receptive surface on the core sheet. The thermally print receptive surface may be formed from compositions comprising a polyurethane dispersion. The thermally print receptive surface is smooth, transparent, durable, and weatherable.Signage articles made from the polymeric sheeting materials of the invention may be configured to have the desired combination of frangibility, durability, retroreflectivity and/or low production cost. Frangible, retroreflective signage articles may be produced from the polymeric sheeting materials and may have durable variable information thermally and variably printed directly on the articles.
