Description
llZ51S4 SPECIFICATION
.
Laminating machines have been known in the past but ordinarily such machines have required several manipulative steps to perform the desired laminating operation and frequently require a skilled operator.
Machines also now exist which laminate packets of laminating film sealed at one end. These packets typically require a special carrier to encase them during the laminating process. The carrier is typically a card-board folder coated with silicon so that it will not stick.
The carrier is awkward to load and unload, is expensive and has a limited life. It also requires a longer heating time because the heat must be transferred through the carrier. After the lamination is complete the packet must be left in the carrier undisturbed for a cooling period of 30 seconds or so, because the carrier traps heat inside.
In accordance with the present invention, pre-fabricated packets are provided which comprise a pair of laminating sheets which are held together in proper relationship at at least one end thereof and with a pull-off tab attached to the laminating sheets adjacent the joined end. By attaching the two sheets together at one end, one provides automatic alignment of the two sheets so that no skill is necessary on the part of the operator.
The pull tab at one end thereof enables the operator to utilize the machines designed for use with such packets and the use of a packet with a peel off tab makes a carrier unnecessary. The tab extends into the pull rolls of the laminating machine so that when the packet receives the proper amount of heat, it may be pulled thru the pressure ~L
-1- ~
1~2S~;4 rollers to complete the laminating process. The tab is then peeled off.
The invention comprises a laminating packet and a method utilizing a laminating packet wherein the method comprises: providing a laminating machine having a heating means and pressure means; providing a laminating packet having first and second sheets of a heat laminating material, said first and second sheets being of substan~
tially the same size, lying over each other, and being con-nected together along one marginal edge, a detachable tab extending from the marginal edge away from the sheets; in-serting an object to be laminated between the first and second sheets; positioning the packet and object into the heating means of the laminating machine and then heating the packet; removing the laminating packet and object from the machine by pulling on the tab; and tearing away the detachable tab.
The advantages of the laminating packet with a tab are fast direct heating of the laminating film, no long cooling period and ease of loading.
Packets with tabs of any packet length may be laminated in a given laminating machine without the need for long expensive carriers.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a plain tab is provided which stays cool, so that the operator can easily grasp the tab and pull the packet through the machine.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the tab at the end of the packet has a series of notches therein which serve the dual purpose of locating the packet accurately within a laminating machine with the tab between the pressure rollers and also serve to prevent operating the machine with a packet not designed for that particular machine.
In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, instead of using two thermoplastic sheets a single sheet is folded back upon itself and fastened to a tab at the fold on opposite end or one of the sheets can be extended to form a tab. This structure is particularly appli-cable to the lamination of pages in a booklet, such as a passport.
At least one of the sheets is preferably transparent (at least after the lamination operation) and ordinarily both sheets would be transparent. At least one of the sheets must have a heat activated adhesive or a thermoplastic coating and normally both sheets are so constituted. The sheets are preferably of Mylar (a registered trademark of the du Pont s de Mours Corp.) film coated on the inside surfaces with a thin layer of a thermoplastic material such as a polyolefin, suitably polyethylene.
Various other objects and features of the invention will be brought out in the balance of the specification.

Figure 14 shows another embodiment of the invention wherein one of the laminating sheets is extended to form a tab.
Referring now to the drawings by reference characters and particularly Figures 1 and 2, one structure made in accordance with the invention consists of an upper sheet generally designated 7 and a lower sheet generally designated 9 of preferably transparent thermoplastic laminating material suitable for use in a laminating press.
The upper sheet 7 can consist of a film 8 of an inert 112;~1~i4 plastic such as ~Iylar with a coating 10 of a heat activated adhesive such as polyethylene. The lower sheet 9 is preferably of the same structure or the coating can be omitted. The upper and lower sheets are bound on one S edge as shown at 11. This binding can be accomplished by passing the sheets through a machine for heat sealing the edges or by means of any conventional adhesive. A tab 13 of a non-heat sealable material such as ordinary paper or cardboard is attached to one end of the packet. This tab - 10 abuts one end of the packet and is held to the upper sheetby means of a strip or tape 15. Strip 15 is caused to adhere to both the tab 13 and the upper sheet 7 to hold the parts in proper relationship. Preferably strip 15 is ~Sylar coated with a thermoplastic material of a higher melting point than the thermoplastic material in the packet itself. Or an adhesive is used which is not hardened by storage or heat so that it can be peeled off at the desired time. Ordinary pressure sensitive adhesives are suitable for this purpose. Preferably strip lS adheres to tab 13 more strongly than it does to sheet 7 so that when one peels off tab 13, at the completion of a lamination operation, the strip 15 will stay on the tab 13 and make a clean separation with the sheet 7. Various ways can be used to accomplish this. Since most pressure sensitive materials adhere more strongly to a relatively porous material such as paper than they do to a laminating plastic sheet, the strip 15 will inherently peel off with the tab 13 and will become cleanly detached from the sheet 7.
Another way of accomplishing this is to make the strip 15 overlap a greater distance on the tab 13 than on the sheet 7 llZ~;154 so that there will be more area for adhesion to sheet 13 than to sheet 7. This is best seen in Figure 4.
In Figure 3 the various steps of utilizing a packet made in accordance with the present invention are illustrated. Here the packet, generally designated 6, is spread open slightly so that an item to be laminated, such as an identification card 17 can be placed between the upper sheet 7 and the lower sheet 9. One now places the heat-sealable portion of the packet between heated platens 19 and 21 with the tab 13 extending outside of the platens.
Tab 13 may extend between two pressure rollers 23 and 25.
When the packet has become sufficiently heated, one grasps tab 13 and pulls it through the pressure rollers 23 and 25 completing the sealing operation. One now peels off the tab 13 including the connecting strip 13 as is shown in Figure 3C. This leaves the completed laminating packet designa~ed 27 while tab 13 and the connecting strip 15 are discarded.
The exact structure of the packet is best seen in Figure 4, wherein the upper sheet 7 and the lower sheet 9 are shown sealed together at 11. The tab 13 is shown connected to the upper sheet 7 by means of the tape 15.
As shown by Figure 4, the tape 15 overlaps the upper sheet 7 by a short distance while it laps over the tab 13 for a substantial distance. Thus, if the adhesion of tape 15 i5 equal to or even greater on the plastic sheet 7 than it is on the sheet 13 per unit of area, the tape 15 will inherently strip off of the sheet 7 and adhere to the sheet 13.
1125~.54 In Figure 5 the completed structure 27 is shown in section and will be seen that the edges as at 29 are sealed together so that the card 17 is completely encased in plastic.
In Figure 6 the structure is substantially the same except that here the tab 31 is provided with a series of notches 33. Although in this case only two notches have been shown, a larger number of notches might be employed.
These notches serve the dual purpose of forming accurate locating means of the packet within the laminating machine with the tab between the pressure rollers and also prevent the laminating machine from being used with a packet or with individual sheets not specifically designed for that machine.
Figure 7 shows another structure wherein a continu-ous fold of laminatable plastic 35 is employed with the edges brought together and secured at 37. The tab 39 is attached as previously described. This structure is frequently advantageous since only a single sheet is employed and in some manufacturing operations it is simpler to handle the single sheet folded upon itself than two individual sheets.
In Figure 8, a laminating packet with a peel off tab to be used as an identification tag is shown wherein the laminating sheets have an aperture 41 formed therein so that the finished article can be hung on a strap or the like.
This is particularly advantageous for use in identification badges. Although an oval slot is shown which is preformed into the upper and lower sheets of the packet, obviously a slot or hole of any size or shape might be used.
Figure 9 illustrates how the packet of the present invention can be used with the page of a book without re-moving the page from the book. This is particularly-~2~
advantageous for use in passports and similar identifying documents where it is important that forgery be avoided.
As can be seen, the page 43 is placed between the upper and lower sheets 7 and 9, or in the case of a single sheet within the fold of the sheet 35 with the tab 13 extending from the booklet. This can be passed through a laminating machine previously described but with cantilever rollers to all`ow the other pages of the book to move freely. The tab is torn off to leave the thermoplastic film over the picture or written material to be protected on that page.
In Figure 10 a structure is shown wherein a single sheet of heat-sealing material is folded upon itself and the tab attached at the fold end. This is in contrast with the structure shown in Figure 7 wherein the tab is opposite the fold. Here a single sheet 61 is folded at 63 and tab 65 is attached to the fold end by tape 67. In Figure 10 the packet is being used to laminate a page 69 of the book 71.
Although the use of a heat sealable tape is preferred for causing the tab to initially adhere to the balance of-the packet, other tear-off systems can be used such as the provision of a perforated sheet. Thus, referring to Figures 11 through 13 an upper sheet 45 is employed which is somewhat longer than the lower sheet 47.
The portion of sheet 45 which extends beyond 47 is per-foratedas at 49 and a notch 51 can be made at each edge of the sheet. The sheets are superimposed and that portion of 46 of the upper sheet which extends beyond the lower sheet 47 is glued or otherwise affixed to a tab 53. After the lamination operation is conducted as previously described, the tab is merely torn off along the perforations 49, 3L~25154 leaving the finished structure shown in Figure 13.
In Figure 14 there is shown a packet wherein one of the sheet is extended to form the tab. Here the upper sheet 73 is longer than the lower sheet 75 and that portion of sheet 73 which extends beyond 75 forms a tab 77. The line defining the tab is perforated at 79 so that the tab can be torn off after the laminating operation. That portion of sheet 73 which forms the tab is preferably not provided with a heat-sealing coating.
The heat sealing sheets of the present invention are preferably made of a relatively inert plastic such as Mylar which is stable under the temperature conditions of the laminating operation. Normally at least one of the sheets would be transparent although this is not necessary when the lamination process is used for purely mechanical purposes. The inner surface of at least one of the sheets, and preferably both, is coated with a material which is thermoplastic and polyolefins such as polyethylene are suitable for this purpose.

As shown by Figure 4, the tape 15 overlaps the upper sheet 7 by a short distance while it laps over the tab 13 for a substantial distance. Thus, if the adhesion of tape 15 i5 equal to or even greater on the plastic sheet 7 than it is on the sheet 13 per unit of area, the tape 15 will inherently strip off of the sheet 7 and adhere to the sheet 13.
1125~.54 In Figure 5 the completed structure 27 is shown in section and will be seen that the edges as at 29 are sealed together so that the card 17 is completely encased in plastic.

As can be seen, the page 43 is placed between the upper and lower sheets 7 and 9, or in the case of a single sheet within the fold of the sheet 35 with the tab 13 extending from the booklet. This can be passed through a laminating machine previously described but with cantilever rollers to all`ow the other pages of the book to move freely. The tab is torn off to leave the thermoplastic film over the picture or written material to be protected on that page.
In Figure 10 a structure is shown wherein a single sheet of heat-sealing material is folded upon itself and the tab attached at the fold end. This is in contrast with the structure shown in Figure 7 wherein the tab is opposite the fold. Here a single sheet 61 is folded at 63 and tab 65 is attached to the fold end by tape 67.
