Abstract: A method of printing a pattern on a surface receptive to sublimation dye, in which (a) the back of a carrier foil (1) provided with sublimation dye is caused to adhesively contact an auxiliary carrier (4) by means of an adhesive (5) of greater adhesiveness to the auxiliary carrier (4) than to the carrier foil (1), (b) the pattern to be transferred is cut or punched in mirror-reversed form in the carrier foil (1) without cutting through the auxiliary carrier (4), (c) excess carrier foil (11) is released from the auxiliary carrier (4), and (d) the auxiliary carrier (4) with the applied positive or negative cut or punched pattern (10) is caused to adhesively contact the surface, is pressed and heated. The sublimation foil (9) consists of a carrier foil (1) of paper or plastics whose front is provided with a layer of sublimation dye and whose back is provided with an auxiliary carrier (4) by means of an adhesive (5) of greater adhesiveness to the auxiliary carrier ( 4).

Abstract: In a case structure comprising a base member and a detachable cover having a pair of side walls adapted to be hingedly and interlockingly connected to the base member, the provision of a combined hinge and locking device comprising an elongated connecting member including an inwardly extending hook-shaped projection and an elongated, flexible and bendable, lengthwise extending hinge member intermediate the side walls and the connecting member. The base member includes a pair of lengthwise extending grooves for engagement with the hook-shaped projections of the cover and a pair of end walls.
