  • Patent number: 8546279
    Abstract: A cloth material for marking including: a label cloth made of a white cloth formed of a fiber containing a component having affinity for a sublimation dye; an intermediate layer disposed on a rear surface of the label cloth, the intermediate layer including a synthetic resin which has affinity for the component of the label cloth and which has a melting point higher than a sublimation temperature of the sublimation dye; a transfer adhesive layer including a hot-melt thermoplastic synthetic resin and disposed on a surface of the intermediate layer; and a sheet of release paper disposed on a surface of the transfer adhesive layer. The intermediate layer is formed and closely fixed on the rear surface of the label cloth by laminating or coating. The transfer adhesive layer is also formed by laminating or coating.

  • Publication number: 20060135013
    Abstract: In a hot press-bonding mark: the mark has a base sheet made of a non-woven fabric, a taffeta, a spongy material or the like; a thin film of a thermoplastic synthetic resin excellent in printability in an ink-jet or an ink-ribbon printing system is formed in one of opposite surfaces of the base sheet; an intermediate layer constructed of a thin film of a thermoplastic synthetic resin which does not react on any release agent is formed in the other of the opposite surfaces of the base sheet to leave the other of opposite surfaces of the intermediate layer alone; and, an adhesive layer comprising a hot-melt based thermoplastic synthetic resin is formed in the thus left-alone one of the opposite surfaces of the intermediate layer. If necessary, it is possible to peel off the mark from a uniform and like objects to which the mark is applied.

  • Patent number: 5350898
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting fabrics and the like includes a workbench on which the fabric is placed, a first movable carriage freely movable in one direction along one side of the work bench, and a second movable carriage mounted on the first carriage which is freely movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first carriage. A cutter including a heated tip, is mounted on the second carriage, and the heated tip is displaceable into contact with a fabric for cutting a desired mark or pattern out of the fabric. The apparatus additionally includes an absorbent member for cleaning the heated tip after a cutting operation. The apparatus permits an automatic and efficient cutting operation for marks and can be manufactured economically.
