Abstract: The invention generally relates to double-sided labels and methods of manufacture and use. More specifically, the invention relates to labels that include printed information on their front and back sides. The labels also include a detachable portion, which includes printed traces on its back side and is located between two portions of the label that contain adhesive on their back sides that permanently attach those portions to a product.

Abstract: A ball plate handle assembly has a gripable handle for the operator, a clamping device for attachment/detachment of the invention to a Ball Plate, a brake for the slowing/stopping of the movement of freight, and an adjustable column for operator comfort. The handle assembly provides a measure of safety for the operator by placing him/her a reasonable distance from the freight, reduces damage to the freight by reducing the need to physically contact the freight, reduces possible contamination of the freight by reducing the need to physically contact the freight, reduces the possibility of contaminating the operator by reducing the need to physically contact the freight, and provides for the directional control of the movement of the freight by providing a measure of leverage inherent in the design of the invention.

Abstract: A screen printing machine is provided having a cabinet, a print screen, a platen assembly, and a curing assembly. The cabinet includes an upper opening and a shelf extending inwardly along at least two opposed cabinet sidewalls. The print screen is adapted to be held on the cabinet shelf in a lateral position. The platen assembly is provided for supporting a substrate suitable for receiving a screen print. The curing assembly is movably connected to the cabinet and located generally above the cabinet upper opening. The curing assembly includes a housing having an open bottom and at least one ultraviolet bulb attached within the housing and oriented to direct ultraviolet light downward. During use, the curing assembly moves laterally between a first position in which the ultraviolet light bulb is not directly above the substrate and a second position in which the ultraviolet light bulb is located directly above the substrate.

Abstract: A screen printing machine for: (i) creating an image bearing screen; (ii) using the image-bearing screen to create designs on a suitable substrate; and (iii) heating the print to cure the print ink. The bottom of a cabinet forms the base of a cavity that houses a series of ultraviolet (UV) lamps used to create an image-bearing screen. The top of the cavity is enclosed by a protective panel when the lamps are not being used. Narrow shelves that extend inwardly from the side walls support a pop-up screen holder that includes a U-shaped frame sized to receive a screen frame. A downwardly extending tube is slidably mounted in a vertical tubular hole. A coil spring creates an upward pressure on the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame is held down by a latch mechanism. A screen registration mechanism moves the U-shaped frame into a fixed position. A beveled block forces a print screen into a predetermined position.

Abstract: A screen printing machine for: (i) creating an image-bearing screen; (ii) using the image-bearing screen to create prints on suitable substrates; and (iii) heating the print to cure the print ink. The machine includes an open front cabinet (11) having a mid-level shelf (39) that supports a series of ultraviolet (UV) lamps (41). Recesses (49) in the upper ends of the cabinet walls (31, 33) receive a work surface (21) that supports the image to be printed and a print screen (23). The image is preprinted on a sheet of material (20) that passes UV light except where the image is located. When the UV lamps are energized, a photographic emulsion previously coated onto the screen hardens, except in the area of the image (61). After exposure, the emulsion is washed, to remove unhardened emulsion and create a stencil-like printing screen. Then, the UV lamps (41) are covered (15) and a platen (55) is positioned just below the plane of the recesses (49).
