Patent number: 4392901Abstract: A reflective heat transfer combination and the method of making same whereby a tacky mixture of tack wax and mineral spirits defines a carrier layer applied over a paper substrate capable of absorbing the carrier layer when melted in response to heat and disposing a layer of glass beads over the carrier layer and forcing the glass beads into the carrier layer and against the paper substrate while allowing portions of the beads to be exposed above the carrier layer. A liquid binder layer of acrylic plastic is disposed around the beads and over the carrier layer while leaving portions of the beads exposed and is dried to retain the beads in position. Thereafter a liquid reflective coat of acrylic plastic is applied over the binder layer and covering the beads to provide a reflective background for reflecting light back through the beads. While the reflective coat is liquid and before being dried, a powdered adhesive is disposed over the reflective coat and thereafter the reflective coat is dried.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1982Date of Patent: July 12, 1983Inventors: Vincent S. Pernicano, Michael R. Wright

Patent number: 4391853Abstract: The disclosed adhesive products include a carrier sheet bearing a polymeric film and an adhesive layer, overlying the film as in dry transfers or underlying the film in products such as wire markers and other labels, or there may be adhesive layers both over and underneath the polymeric film. A constituent initially contained in the polymeric film layer migrates into an ordinarily non-tacky precursor of the adhesive layer, thereby rendering the precursor tacky. The precursor layer becomes adhesive only where it is opposite the polymeric film, being non-tacky outside the area of the film. In important applications, the common area of film and adhesive layers does not cover the whole carrier sheet. Both the adhesive precursor layer and the polymeric film may include portions extending outside the common area.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1979Date of Patent: July 5, 1983Assignee: The Datak CorporationInventor: David W. Pointon

Patent number: 4379012Abstract: There is provided an adhesive tape for the joining of webs, comprising a first tape provided on both its faces with adhesive, second and third cover tapes adhering to the faces of the first tape, and adhesive on the outside of the second cover tape, the adhesive on the outside of the second cover tape being stronger than the adhesive on its inside. The joinder is made by securing the outside face of the second cover tape to a carrier bar, removing the third cover tape, adhering the exposed face of the first tape to the tail end of a first web, removing the second cover tape with carrier bar attached from the first tape which continues to adhere to the web, and then adhering the freshly exposed face of the first tape to the head end of a second web.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1981Date of Patent: April 5, 1983Assignee: Jagenberg Werke AGInventor: Willi Heymanns

Patent number: 4376006Abstract: A magnetic recording structure comprises (1) a substrate having an outer surface, and (2) a laminar magnetic recording piece disposed adjacent to at least one part of the outer surface of the substrate, the recording piece comprising a magnetic layer, a color layer and a non-magnetic metal deposition layer interposed between the magnetic layer and the color layer, the magnetic layer being closer to the substrate than the color layer.The non-magnetic metal deposition layer disposed on the magnetic layer has high hiding power and, even in the form of an extremely thin layer, can effectively hide the color of the magnetic material.Accordingly, this magnetic recording structure can be produced with a surface of a beautiful color without impairing its magnetic characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1981Date of Patent: March 8, 1983Assignee: Dai Nippon Insatsu Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Seiichi Nishikawa, Makoto Honda

Patent number: 4367014Abstract: A polygonally shaped, multifaceted rotary scanner comprising a plurality of optically flat, reflective surfaces on the facets. The reflective surfaces are integrally bonded to a multifaceted, polygonal base at precise angles to the axis of rotation by a replication technique in which each optically flat reflective surface is produced on the surface of a flat master preform, and the flat master preform is then accurately located in position at the precise angle relative to the base by contact with upper and lower facets of a master multifaceted polygonal fixture. The flat reflective surface is then adhesively bonded to the corresponding facet of the polygonal base (while the polygonal base is arranged concentrically between the upper and lower facets of the fixture) by the application of a small quantity of a liquid adhesive to the surface of the facet of the polygonal base. On hardening, the adhesive bonds the reflective layer of each master preform to the appropriate facet of the polygonal base.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: January 4, 1983Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Harry Howden
