  • Image reflecting adhesive patch
    Patent number: 8317340
    Abstract: The instant invention is directed to an image reflecting adhesive patch comprising a reflective layer, an adhesive layer positioned on one surface of the reflective layer, and an image printed on a surface of the reflective layer opposed to the adhesive layer. When incident light reflects from the reflective layer it refracts at different angles thereby making the image, which is not reflected, discernible through the light reflected from the reflective layer. Another embodiment of the instant invention involves an image reflecting adhesive patch comprising a reflective layer, an adhesive layer positioned on one surface of the reflective layer, and a transparent layer containing a visible image, positioned on a surface of the reflective layer opposed to the adhesive layer. When incident light reflects from the reflective layer it refracts at different angles thereby making the image, which is not reflected, discernible through the light reflected from the reflective layer.
