Abstract: A heat sensitive system comprises a document having a localized, non-pressure sensitive, coating of chromogenic composition activated at moderate temperatures. Quickly striking the chromogenic composition with a fingernail or blunt object produces a colored image by frictional heat. The chromogenic composition contains a chromogenic compound and a color developer which are non-pressure sensitive and non-reactive at room temperature. The chromogenic composition can be an intimate mixture of the chromogenic compound and the developer or alternatively separate layers of each of the components.

Abstract: A pressure and heat-sensitive composition comprising chromogen-containing pressure-rupturable microcapsules and heat-sensitive color developer useful for verification of document authenticity system when applied as a localized coating on documents, such as checks and prescriptions. Quickly striking the chromogenic composition with a fingernail or blunt object to generate pressure and heat in the coating produces a colored image by friction. The chromogenic composition possesses a fugitive characteristic, whereby the colored image gradually disappears and can be made to reappear when the chromogenic coating is again subjected to external pressure and heat. This feature can be used for repeated verification of the authenticity of the document.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive, laser printer heat-resistant verification system for preventing unauthorized photoduplication of security documents comprising a support bearing an information area comprising a visible principal image, and a verification area comprising a localized, autogenous coating of a pressure-sensitive chromogenic composition for producing a visible colored image by external pressure. The chromogenic composition comprises (a) pressure-rupturable microcapsules containing a chromogen and (b) a color developer capable of reacting with the chromogen to form a visible image. The pressure-rupturable microcapsules and color developer are substantially coextensive on the support, and the verification area is spaced apart from the information area.

Abstract: An easel and pad pack and method including first and second generally rectangular, planar panels constructed of a unitary, folded paperboard to provide relatively stiff surfaces and having two pairs of opposite sides, tape closing the first and second panels temporarily on two opposite sides to provide an openable holder, the first and second panels being integral on the other two sides, an easel pad removably confined within said panels the first panel being equipped with a generally L-shaped cut defining a stand and arranged for pivotal movement out of the plane of the first panel to provide support for the holder, the first panel also being equipped with a generally C-shaped cut adjacent the L-shaped cut and defining brace means for stabilizing said stand means in non-planar relation to said first panel and an opening in said first panel for hand insertion to carry the pack.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for indexing sheets cut from a web including a production line having an unwind at one end and a backstop at the other end, a printer and a rotary knife between the ends, the relation of the knife speed to the web speed being changed cyclically to develop longer and shorter sheets.

Abstract: A hidden entry system comprises a document having a localized coating of a non-pressure sensitive heat activated autogenous chromogenic composition to provide a latent image which reveals hidden indicia when heated at moderate temperatures. The hidden entry system is especially useful for contests and promotional forms. Quickly striking the chromogenic composition with a fingernail or blunt object converts the latent image to a visible colored image by frictional heat. The chromogenic composition contains a chromogenic compound and a color developer which are non-pressure sensitive and non-reactive at room temperature. The latent image can be provided by an intimate mixture of the chromogenic compound and the developer or alternatively, one component can be printed on a separate layer or coating of the other component.

Abstract: A pharmacy form including a unitary, elongated sheet having a transverse diecut intermediate the ends thereof defining a label part and an information part in co-planar relation, printed label and information indicia on one face of the sheet and pressure sensitive adhesive on the other face of the sheet extending over said label part and a specified distance onto the information part.

Abstract: A labeling device including a release liner and a label where the release liner is imprinted with variable information prior to being equipped with the usual release material, i.e., silicone coating.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for handling compacted business forms including a receiver having a horizontally disposed receiving surface and posts at one end thereof for the receipt of a dolly adapted to delimit and confine a predetermined number of forms on the receiver horizontal surface.

Abstract: The invention consists of a method which provides a business form with removable labels. This method produces a business form which maintains its integrity and does not jam or damage production or processing equipment. It includes providing a first web with a bottom release ply, a top label stock ply and adhesive disposed between these two plies for releasably joining the two together. It also provides a second web and places it in side-by-side laterally spaced relation with the first web. The method further includes the step of adhering a splicing strip to the first and second webs to join them together. The resulting form includes the first and second webs disposed in spaced, side-by-side relation. It also includes the splicing strip adhered to the inner edge portions of the first and second webs to connect the first and second webs together.
