  • Patent number: 5156708
    Abstract: A transfer sheet to be used for producing a dry transfer material has microcapsule-encapsulated mold releasing liquid coated on a sheet substrate material, so that the mold releasing liquid is nonfunctional until the microcapsules are ruptured by pressure. The microcapsules containing the mold releasing liquid make an ink layer separate from a transfer sheet more completely and easily upon rupture of the microcapsules, as the ink layer is being deposited on a receiving surface.

  • Patent number: 5154972
    Abstract: An ink ribbon for producing a dry transfer material, the ribbon having a layer including a microcapsule encapsulated adhesive and a layer including a microcapsule encapsulated mold releasing agent coated on the ribbon substrate so that the adhesive and the release agent are nonfunctional until the microcapsules are ruptured by pressure. Thus, the microcapsules may contain an adhesive having an adhesive property and a mold releasing agent having a release property stronger than that included in the resin having a pressure-sensitive property of the conventional ink ribbons.

  • Patent number: 5147717
    Abstract: Transparent image-recording elements that contain ink-receptive layers that can be imaged by the application of liquid ink dots. The ink-receptive layers contain a combination of:(i) a vinyl pyrrolidone;(ii) particles of a polyester, namely a poly(cyclohexylenedimethylene-co-xylylene terephthalate-co-malonate-co-sodioiminobis(sulfonylbenzoate));(iii) a homopolymer or a copolymer of an alkylene oxide containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;(iv) a polyvinyl alcohol;(v) a compound or a mixture of compounds having the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1 to 4 or a phenyl group, and n is an integer of 1 to 10; and(vi) inert particles.A printing method which employs the transparent image-recording elements also is described.

  • Patent number: 5143776
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dual laminae tissue laminate having the laminae adhesively joined. The laminae are joined by a water dispersible, and preferably water soluble, hot melt adhesive. The adhesive is applied to one of the laminae in a longitudinally oriented stripe. The stripe is deposited either ina spiral pattern or, preferably, in a melt blown pattern. This stripe provides the advantage that softness is not compromised and that the tissue laminate may be easily disposed, without concern that the adhesive, or the laminate, will not break down in the presence of water.

  • Patent number: 5139860
    Abstract: A thin paper, which has a basis weight of 5 to 15 g/m.sup.2 and a thickness of 10 to 50 .mu.m and which comprises at least 10% by weight, based on paper-constituting fibers, of a drawn polyester fiber having a single filament fineness of 2.5 denier or less, a filament length of 15 mm or less and a birefringence (.DELTA.n) of at least 0.03. This thin paper comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of urethane resins and epoxy resins at crossing points and surfaces of the filaments in an amount of 3 g/m.sup.2 or less of the thin paper. This thin paper is a valuable as a heat-sensitive stencil printing paper.

  • Patent number: 5137770
    Abstract: Disclosed is a glass body suitable for cementing to a further material. At the time of cementing, there is at least one profile of a cement on the glass body, and it is already solidified at the time of cementing and serves as a range spacer. Furthermore, there is a profile of a second cement on the glass body which cement is still moldable and has adhesive characteristics at the time of cementing. When producing the adhesive connection, the second cement is formed and pressed against the other material. Because the profile of the second, still adhesive cement is directly on the glass body or possibly a layer of a material impermeable to ultraviolet or, where necessary, an intermediate layer of primer, a very good adhesion can be achieved.
