Abstract: A mark transfer tool utilizing a coat film transfer technology, concerning various marks composed of characters, codes, patterns or their combination. A mark transfer tape has multiple pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer marks adhered and held at specified intervals peelably on the surface of a base tape, and the transfer marks are prepared as adhesive seals of which adhesive force of the back-side pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the transfer area is set larger than the adhesive holding force on the base tape. Like adhesive seals, the transfer marks once transferred on the transfer area can be once peeled off and adhered again, or peeled and removed when no longer needed.

Abstract: A single-pass, in-line process for creating multi-part articles by combining primary substrates in a first continuous web with discrete elements from a second continuous web which includes pre-cutting the second web to define, but not separate, discrete element portions and a waste portion, with the web remaining intact, joining the first and second webs in aligned relation in a manner which causes selected portions of the discrete element portions to adhere to selected portions of the primary substrates in the first web in a predetermined aligned registration to form multi-part articles and removing the waste portion of the second web from the combined web.

Abstract: A method of joining a first textile element and a second textile element is disclosed. The method includes four general steps: First, the first textile element, the second textile element, and an adhesive element are formed. Second, a bond is formed between the first textile element and the adhesive element to define a bonded area and an unbonded area. Third, an aperture is formed in the first textile element and the adhesive element by removing at least a portion of the bonded area. Fourth, a bond is formed between the second textile element and the bonded area, thereby joining the first textile element and the second textile element.

Abstract: A substrate of label stock or the like has pressure sensitive adhesive on one side, covered by release material. The release material is folded back or removed along one edge of the substrate, exposing the pressure sensitive adhesive along that edge. A transparent laminate is secured to the substrate by the exposed pressure sensitive adhesive. A photograph of other document can be secured inside the device by lifting the unadhered portion of the laminate, placing the photograph between the laminate and the substrate, removing the release layer to expose the remainder of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and pressing the photograph and laminate against the lower substrate. The photograph is preferably smaller than the laminate product, so that the laminate is secured to the substrate around all edges of the photograph.

Abstract: The fundamental technique of the method for making cellular cores is to make stacks of components which are configured such that cutting slices off the stacks produces cellular cores and, when needed, components used in stacks used to produce cellular cores. One of the basic components used in the stacks is termed a ribbed ply which is a ply (thin sheet of material such as wood) with a number of ribs (long thin strips of material such as wood) attached to the ply, parallel to each other. The spaces between the ribs are filled with filler material such as foam plastic, and the cells in the cellular core are filled with the filler material. The filler material is introduced as layers of the material stacked alternately with plies and adhesively attached. Slices of such a stack, sliced parallel to the grain of the plies (if wood) are called ribbed fillers. Stacking ribbed fillers and plies produces a stack having a cross section which, when sliced, produces filled cell cellular cores.
