  • Patent number: 5128188
    Abstract: A Forms Splicer is disclosed for use in splicing continuous feed computer forms whose separation prevents their continuous feed into a tractor feed printing device. The Forms Splicer is a single sheet of rectangular flexible material having an alignment/fold line across the width thereof defining the sheet into equal halves. The Forms Splicer employs a series of line pin holes along each side edge of the Splicer with spacing relative equal to pin hole spacing of the forms to be spliced. The forms to be spliced are aligned by the alignment/fold line and a series of alignment tabs on the lower portion of the Splicer. The alignment tabs overlap an area of the trailing form to be spliced providing pin hole reinforcement and a means to suppress raised edges to prevent paper jamming. Pressure sensitive adhesive strips maintain the forms to be spliced in alignment.

  • Patent number: 5087238
    Abstract: A Forms Carrier is disclosed for use in securing preprinted business forms that are too small to engage laser printers or similar friction roller printing devices. The Forms Carrier includes a rectangular sheet of flexible material having a fold line dividing the sheet into a lower portion and a upper portion. The lower portion resembles a conventional size sheet of paper. A preprinted business form is placed upon the lower portion of the sheet and the upper portion folds over the form with a pressure sensitive adhesive on the surface of the upper portion that faces the form which securely holds the form to the Forms Carrier. The Forms Carrier with the secured form is then placed into a laser printing device or similar friction roller printing device in the ordinary and conventional manner.

  • Patent number: 5018694
    Abstract: A clothes hanger spacer device for spacing garment hangers when suspended from a garment-supporting rod, comprising a one piece length of material having axially spaced apart hook-shaped opposite end portions for hooked over engagement with a garment-supporting rod, and a closed loop projecting beneath said axially spaced apart hook-shaped opposite end portions for dispostion beneath a garment-supporting rod for carrying a clothes hanger in hooked assembly with the closed loop. The device is disclosed in two forms with one form having hooked shaped opposite end portions being symmetrically shaped and oriented relative to one another and adapted to hook onto a garment-supporting rod. A modified form has hook shaped and opposite end portions being oriented so as to be attachable with a garment-supporting rod with tip ends located on opposite sides of the rod when in attachment.
