Patent number: 11325359Abstract: A partially perforated assembly includes a perforated film layer, a perforated adhesive layer applied to one side of said film layer, a non-perforated overlaminate film layer on the other side of said perforated film layer, and a release liner on the side of said perforated adhesive layer remote from said perforated film layer. When the release liner is removed and the remaining layers of the assembly are applied to a substrate, the remaining layers of the assembly comprise a void network. The void network fluidly interconnects at least two discrete perforation holes in the perforated film and adhesive layers with each other and/or the ambient environment around the assembly so as to facilitate air communication among the holes and/or between the holes and the ambient environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: CONTRA VISION LTD.Inventors: George Roland Hill, Mark David Godden

Patent number: 9469081Abstract: An open perforated assembly typically includes a film layer (26) on one side of the open perforated assembly, and an adhesive layer (32) and a release liner (42) on the other side. The layers and liner are perforated with a plurality of holes (6). The assembly is devoid of any imperforate layer. The perforated liner has a first color visible from the other side. Upon removal of the perforated release liner the appearance of the assembly from the other side is similar to the appearance before removal of the perforated liner. The assembly may be imaged by digital inkjet printing using a digital inkjet machine. Its printheads are spaced from one side of the open perforated assembly and an ink receiving surface (62) is located on the other side such that ink that is jetted from the printheads and passes through the holes in the open perforated assembly is deposited on the ink receiving surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: CONTRA VISION LTD.Inventors: George Roland Hill, Mark David Godden

Publication number: 20150266262Abstract: A perforated self-adhesive film assembly capable of being imaged includes a perforated face film; a perforated adhesive layer; a perforated liner, each of the perforated face film, perforated adhesive layer, and perforated liner being perforated with a plurality of holes; and a removable non-perforated bonding layer removably attached to the perforated liner. The removable bonding layer includes a bonding surface. The bonding surface includes one or more of the following: i) a surface topography with a difference between the height of a peak and the depth of a trough within one of said plurality of holes of not less than 5 micron, ii) an adhesion enhancing surface coating, or (iii) a surface spaced from said perforated liner around the complete perimeter of one of said plurality of holes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2013Publication date: September 24, 2015Inventors: George Roland Hill, Mark David Godden

Patent number: 8394477Abstract: An assembly includes a light-permeable film layer, a release liner, and a print pattern. The print pattern includes a base layer. The print pattern sub-divides the film layer into a plurality of discrete base layer areas and/or a plurality of transparent areas. The base layer includes a design imaging surface of a first color. The release liner includes an imperforate material. The release liner includes a release surface. The imperforate material when viewed through said light permeable film layer is a second color contrasting with said first color by the graytone of said second color differing from the graytone of said first color by at least 10%. This contrast may provide a more realistic perception of how the assembly will look in situ (e.g., on a window).Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Contra Vision Ltd.Inventors: G. Roland Hill, Mark David Godden

Patent number: 5042788Abstract: A printing apparatus has an array of cartridges for printing a web of e.g. paper passing through the array, and one or more units containing printing medium. The cartridges each are capable of transferring the printing medium from the unit(s) to the web. The unit(s) and the cartridges of the array are relatively movable, to allow the unit(s) to interact successively with at least two of the cartridges. In this way it is possible to change printing from one cartridge to another, allowing changes to be made to what is printed, without halting the movement of web significantly. The present invention also proposes that the cartridges may have printing cylinders of different sizes, and furthermore that a mobile unwind stand may be used to move web material to the printing apparatus, and the web output from the printing apparatus processed by sheet folding techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1990Date of Patent: August 27, 1991Assignee: Strachan Henshaw Machinery Ltd.Inventors: Kenneth A. Bowman, Roger F. Maslin, David Godden, Jonathan H. Ripper
