Patent number: 6649000Abstract: An emblem for embroidery stitching directly to a substrate is disclosed which provides an emblem which can be readily embroidered. The emblem includes a fabric layer with a thermoplastic adhesive coating one side of the fabric layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating the thermoplastic adhesive to provide an emblem which can temporarily adhere to a substrate. The emblem can thus be temporarily secured during embroidery and prevent distortion of the emblem. Following embroidery, the emblem is heat-sealed to a substrate and the thermoplastic adhesive coating penetrates through the pressure sensitive adhesive for attachment of the emblem to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2000Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Stahls' Inc.Inventor: Ted A. Stahl

Patent number: 5667614Abstract: A web suitable for the elevated temperature transfer of graphics to fabric comprises a thermoplastic film release sheet having upper and lower surfaces, the lower surface defining the bottom surface of the web. A layer of non-carboxylated, pigmented PVC is coated on and substantially covers the upper surface of the release sheet. The pigmented PVC includes a heat activated blowing agent. A thermoplastic adhesive layer defines the top surface of the web. The web may be used to provide both conventional as well as hot split graphics to fabric.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1996Date of Patent: September 16, 1997Assignee: Stahls' Inc.Inventor: Ted A. Stahl

Patent number: 5422173Abstract: An improved method for producing a multi-colored emblem which may be bonded to a fabric is disclosed which provides an emblem with an embroidered appearance. The emblem is easily heat sealable onto difficult to adhere fabrics. The method generally involves providing a first woven material blank, providing a barrier layer of thermoplastic material, laminating the barrier layer onto one side of said material blank to form an assembly, cutting said assembly to a specific configuration, sewing a thread about the periphery of the cut assembly, and laminating said assembly onto a second woven material blank having a different color. This second assembly is again cut to a complimentary larger configuration and also provided with a thread about the periphery. The two material blanks are then heat sealed together and an adhesive layer is provided to the exposed barrier layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1993Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: Stahls', Inc.Inventor: Ted Stahl

Patent number: 4405401Abstract: Described is thermoplastic labeling for clothing or the like and a method for making the same. The labeling are strips or rolls of a plurality of thermoplastic adhesive labels lightly adhered to a release paper backing strip.The labeling is manufactured by kiss cutting strips, rolls, or sheets of thermoplastic film lightly bonded to a carrier backing, using a rotary die--platen combination. By peeling away the waste film, the labels will more clearly stand out as part of the labeling.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1981Date of Patent: September 20, 1983Inventor: Ted A. Stahl
