Abstract: A lettering kit and release alignment grid therefor with the lettering kit including pressure sensitive adhesive backed letters and Arabic numerals in a specific font style and supplied in precut form mounted on backing sheet that is release agent coated for readily removal of selected letters and numbers to form desired words and phrases that are to be transfer applied to a desired substrate surface to form signs or the like, in which a special lay out, release agent coated; grid is provided that has guideline indicia keyed to the special shaping of the individual capital letters, lower case letters, and numerals that the font style conventionally has, for layout of the desired word or phrase on the grid to achieve, for transfer to the substrate surface, professional printing appearing letter alignment and spacing in individual word or phrase units, for pickup and transfer as a unit to the substrate surface, using a transfer sheet having a special pressure sensitive coating for this purpose.

Abstract: This set of signs comprises four kinds of signs (1, 2, 3, 4). The first ones (1) have the shape of an independent letter. The second ones (2) correspond to the shape of beginning letters provided with a connecting member (6) to connect it to the next sign. The third ones (3) present the shape of middle letters provided with a connecting member (6) and with a recess (7). The fourth ones (4) correspond to the shape of end letters provided with a recess (7).Through dry transfer of such signs one may compose a perfect text in Arabic letters.

Abstract: A script lettering system is provided using individual, die cut alphabet letter characters which are especially adapted for bonding to a fabric backing such as on a tee shirt. The letters are formed of material including synthetic resin substance and are configured for complemental, script-type interconnection in any desired order to form words or expressions, without the necessity of individually modifying the configuration of the letters. Additionally, the letters are formed and configured such that application of heat and pressure serves to bond the letters to a fabric backing, and also to render the synthetic resin substance of the letters partially flowable to thereby blend the originally discrete letters into a unified, integral expression and substantially eliminate lines of juncture between the letters.

Abstract: Apparatus in the form of a stencil, wet transfer material or dry transfer material is disclosed for marking characters on a surface. A set of character-defining indicia are provided on the stencil or transfer material and symbols having simple geometrical shapes are also provided to enable visually harmonious character spacing to be achieved. Some or all of the indicia have two or more spatially separated symbols so that character spacing can be related to the particular character pair combination being drawn or marked. Simple rules are provided for matching symbols to each other.

Abstract: A letter and number kit for use in preparing signs or names and addresses including street numbers. The kit consists of a packet of thin metal plates, each having upper and lower longitudinally and transversely extending score lines to provide segments having a blank on one or both faces or a letter, number, or punctuation mark on one or both faces of each segment. The number of letters in the kit may be varied. Primary letters of the alphabet which are used more frequently than other letters are present in the kit in a greater number than secondary letters which in turn are present in the kit in a greater number than tertiary letters. For instance, in comparatively large kits from approximately eight to eleven of each of the primary letters, from six to seven of each of the secondary letters and from approximately two to five of each of the tertiary letters may be present.
