Patent number: 11756454Abstract: A unitary sheet-like article has a material sheet and an elastic sheet. The material sheet includes a first thickness and a first edge, The elastic sheet includes a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness and includes an aperture and a second edge. The material sheet and the elastic sheet overlap at an overlap portion defined between the first and second edges. The material sheet and the elastic sheet are bonded together at the overlap portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: BEDFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Robert B. Ludlow, John B. Linquist, Colin M. O'Donnell, Ryan M. Korpela

Patent number: 10650707Abstract: A unitary sheet-like merchandise labeling article that has a labeling tag flatly conjoined along a unifying flat bond zone with a flexible elastic layer that extends away from the tag and includes an elastic fastening loop. The loop sides that define the loop are wider than the thickness of the elastic layer. Further, the flexible elastic layer that extends away from the tag has a thickness greater than the thickness of the tag and has a dispersion zone adjacent the unifying flat bond zone. The dispersion zone allows dissipation of elastic loop in-line stretching forces sufficiently to reduce transmission of such forces into the bond zone.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Bedford Industries, Inc.Inventors: Robert B. Ludlow, John B. Linquist, Colin M. O'Donnell, Ryan M. Korpela
