Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for transferring a film (11) from a strip (6) to a substrate (10), comprising a housing (2) from which a film transfer element (4) protrudes outwardly. Said housing comprises a film supply reel (7) which enables the strip (6) to be pulled over the transfer element (4) in order to transfer the film, and a winding reel (9), both reels being rotatably positioned and a sliding coupling (8) being provided in order to transfer torque from the supply reel (7) to the winding reel (9). After the film (11) has been transferred onto the transfer element, the empty strip (6) is coiled onto the winding reel (9).

Abstract: An adhesive stick (1) for applying an adhesive, comprising a cylindrical housing (2) containing a spindle drive (5) for an elongate body of adhesive for axial displacement of the latter, a twist grip (4) being provided at one end of the housing (2) and connected to the spindle drive (5), wherein on the cylindrical housing (2), following the twist grip (4), a sleeve (7) is rotatably mounted on the outside, which sleeve is designed to be at least partially transparent or perforated for looking therethrough onto the housing (2) which is provided with an imprint.

Abstract: A pen-shaped applicator (1) for applying a liquid, in particular glue, on a substrate comprises a container (2) out of which the liquid can be pressed and a dosing part (6) arranged on one end face of the container (2) and having a dispensing layer (8) with openings for the liquid. A spring-loaded valve body (13) with which a valve seat (12) is associated is arranged inside the dispensing layer (8). The dispensing layer (8) is made of plastics and formed in a single piece with the dosing part (6), in particular by injection molding.

Abstract: A reel arrangement (8) for a device for transferring a film (2) located on one side of a foil tape (1) to a substrate, comprising a feed reel (4) for the foil tape (1), a take-up reel (5) for the foil tape (1) after the film (2) has been transferred, said take-up reel being coaxial with the feed reel (4), and a friction coupling (9) between the two reels (4, 5) so as to drive the take-up reel (5) from the feed reel-(4) side under slipping, wherein the friction coupling (9) comprises radially resilient arms (30) which are non-rotationally connected with the feed reel (4) and which engage an end face groove (26) on the take-up reel (5) by means of engaging projections (28), the engaging projections (28) frictionally abutting the groove walls (32, 33).

Abstract: A pen for applying a color liquid whose sleeve part (1) includes an outlet port (3) for the color liquid, closable by a valve. The valve comprises a spring means incorporating at least one leaf spring (6, 6') or a disk spring, and a guiding element (4) pressed by the spring means against a sphere (5) which thereby is biased towards the outflow port (3). When the pen tip is pressed against an underlying substrate, the sphere (5) assumes an open position. The leaf or disk springs (6; 6') can be made of plastics and can be produced in one piece with the guiding element (4).

Abstract: A solid correction material for covering writing or drawing errors on paper is disclosed. The correction material may be formed into a stick and housed in hollow body and is composed of: (a) 5-40 wt % of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, preferably a homo- or copolymer based on (meth)acrylic compounds; (b) 10-70 wt % of a pigment, preferably a titanium dioxide pigment; (c) 5-20 wt % of a mono- or polyvalent alcohol, preferably glycerin being preferred; (d) 5-30 wt % of carrier mixture composed of (i) a fatty acid with 12 to 32 carbon atoms or a salt of a fatty acid, with stearate being preferred, and (ii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin and an ester wax, possibly 5 to 15 wt % water; and (e) 0 to 10 wt % of conventional additives, such as defoaming agents, dyes, aroma substances, and preservatives.

Abstract: A duplicating stencil comprising a perforated or porous ink-permeable sheet composed of a synthetic resinous film or a metal sheet or film of aluminum or copper. The perforated or porous ink-permeable sheet is coated with a binding agent coating which coating may contain softeners or fillers. On the binder coating there can be applied a coating of hot-seal adhesive which in turn is overcoated with an infra-red light permeable coating. Alternatively, the hot-seal adhesive coating can be applied to a separate sheet of paper, synthetic resinous film or metallic sheet, over-coated with an infra-red permeable coating and placed together with the sheet coated with the binding agent prior to subjection to infra-red rays.

Abstract: A sliding cover, for use in connection with duplicating ink or dye receptacles of duplicating machines, has an outlet for discharging duplicating ink or dye fluid into a duct for distribution in the duplicating machine, and a reservoir formed about the discharge opening for retaining duplicating fluid that may have leaked from the interconnection.
