Definitions

  • a unit set assembly of multiple plies includes superimposed top, intermediate and bottom plies each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, and each being coated on selected surfaces thereof with chemicals which are capable of reacting with one another to produce a coloured mark.
  • the top and bottom plies are interconnected by means of a removable glue flap, and portions of the glue extend through holes lying along a margin of the bottom ply so as to thereby interconnect the intermediate and bottom plies together.
  • the top ply is coated front and back and the intermediate ply is coated on its back surface with a micro-encapsulated colour precursor, while the bottom ply is coated front and back and the top surface of the intermediate ply is coated with a record developing material.
  • coloured marks are formed on the intermediate and bottom ply top surface as the reactive components of the coatings on mating surfaces react.
  • the plies are capable of re-arrangement such that by removal of the intermediate ply and by placing the backs of the top and bottom plies in mating engagement coloured marks are produced on the backs of the plies as the reactive components of the coatings of these mating surfaces are forced into reactive contact upon the application of pressure to the back of the set.
  • the unit set may also include at least two of such intermediate plies, similarly coated as the intermediate ply of the three-ply set so that, upon application of pressure to the set, coloured marks are formed on both intermediate and bottom ply top surfaces as the reactive components of the coatings on mating surfaces react. Portions of the glue extend through aligned holes lying along the margins of the lower intermediate and bottom plies, the latter being smaller than the former so as to mask portion of the glue extending therethrough.
  • the plies are capable of re-arrangement as in the three-ply set upon removal of both intermediate plies.
  • This invention relates generally to a stubless multi-ply assembly having carbonless transfer material on each of the surfaces thereof, and more particularly, to such an assembly which is capable of both separation and re-arrangement so that coloured marks may be produced on the fronts and backs of the plies upon application of pressure to the front and back of the set.
  • US Patent No. 3981523 and US serial No. 664941 filed 8th March 1976 as a divisional thereof disclose sets of manifold business forms comprising stacks of sheets having one or both surfaces of the sheets coated with carbonless transfer material for the development of images on both sides of the sheets upon the application of pressure to opposite sides of the sets.
  • US serial No. 623393 filed 17th October 1975 discloses a stubless multi-part assembly wherein the parts are interconnected as a unit set without reliance on a stub yet are capable of easy separation and manipulation.
  • stacks of business forms and unit set of multipLe parts are not without their limitations.
  • the stacks of forms are not interconnected as a set capable of separation during use as a correspondence assembly, and images the stubless unit set is incapable of having developed on both sides of the sheets upon removal of a sheet and re-arrangement of them.
  • a unit set comprises at least first, second and third plies, said first ply having a folded flap removably connected along one edge thereof by a line of weakening extending along the fold between said first ply and said flap, said third ply having at least one hole lying adjacent one edge thereof, said flap underlying said third ply and having a quantity of detachable adhesive thereon securing said first ply to said third ply, a portion of said quantity of adhesive extending through said hole and securing said second and third plies together along one edge of said second ply, said edges of said plies lying at a common end of said unit set, and said plies each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, each of said plies having on each of its surfacesa coating comprising an initially colourless colour-forming reactive component, a reactive component of each of the coatings of said first ply being capable of reacting to produce a coloured mark with a reactive component of each of the coatings of said third
  • FIG. 1 an assembly generally designated 10 is shown in Fig. 1 as comprising three superimposed plies or parts 11, 12 & 13.
  • the top or first ply 11 is provided with a removable flap 14 connected to one edge thereof along a fold line 15 of perforations.
  • This flap is provided with a glue stream l6 substantially parallel to line 15 and aligned with a plurality of holes 17 provided in the bottom or third ply 13 along its marginal edge which underlies line 15.
  • Flap l4 is folded to underlie bottom ply 11 (see Fig. 2) and is secured thereto for interconnecting plies 11 and 13 together.
  • portions l6a of glue stream l6 extend through holes 17 for interconnecting the intermediate or second ply 12 and ply 13 together. Therefore, upon removal of ply 11 from the unit set, plies 12 and 13 remain intact, separation of plies 11 and 12 separates all three plies of the set from one another, and removal of the ply 12 leaves plies 11 and 13 intact.
  • Each of the plies of unit set 10 is according to the invention coated both front and back with carbonless transfer material which comprises an initially colourless colour-forming reactive component.
  • a reactive component of each of the coatings 18 and 19 of ply 11 and of the back coating 21 of ply 12 is capable of reacting to produce a coloured mark with a reactive component of each of the coatings 23, 24 of ply 13 and of front coating 22 of ply 12 upon coming into reactive contact therewith.
  • Coatings 18, 19 and 21 comprise liquid material in tiny rupturable microscopic capsules, the fill comprising a first reactive component of the reactive system and being illustrated as a series of small circles containing a plus mark ( + ).
  • Coatings 22, 23 and 24 comprise the second relative component of the reaction system which is usually a solid material containing a record- developing material, which when disposed against the coatings containing the first reactive component of the system, causes a mark to be produced upon the rupturing of the microcapsules.
  • a mark 25 may be impressed upon the upper surface of ply 11 by means of a stylus or machine key moving in the direction of arrow 26.
  • Such mark is imaged as mark 27 on the top surface of ply 12 and further as mark 28 on the top surface of ply 13, as the microcapsules in coating 19 and in coating 21 rupture and the fill thereof spills out into contact to co-react with the reactive component in respective coatings 22 and 23.
  • the second reactive component is illustrated as a series of plus marks ( + ).
  • intermediate ply 12 may be removed from the unit set as a retention copy so that, when interconnected plies 11 and 13 are received by the intended recipient, plies 11 and 13 may be reversely folded into the position shown in Fig. 3 whereupon coatings l8 & 24 are disposed in overlying relationship to one another.
  • Glue flap l4 permits the top and bottom plies to be reversely folded to form a unit set 10A which facilitates the production of markings on opposite sides of plies 11 and 13.
  • the co-reactants in the contacting coatings 18 and 24 of the plies coreact to produce an image 31 on ply 13 as a mark 29 is impressed on ply 11 by a stylus or machine key by applying pressure in the direction of arrow 32. Again, the microcapsules in coating l8 rupture so that the fill contained therein spills out to contact and co-react with the co-reacting material in coating 24.
  • a four-part unit set assembly 33 is shown in Fig. 4 as comprising superimposed top and bottom (first and fourth) plies 11 and 13 and intermediate (second and third) plies 12 and 34.
  • This assembly is similar to assembly 10 shown in Fig. 1 with the exception of additional ply 34, and is the same as the assembly shown in the aforementioned US application Serial No. 623393 except for the carbonless copying system of the invention.
  • the construction and operation of stubless assembly 33 herein is therefore not unlike that described in the '393 application, the entire disclosure of which being specifically incorporated herein bv reference.
  • Ply 34 has holes 35 provided along its marginal edge in alignment with holes 17 lying in ply 11. Holes 35 are of a larger size relative to holes 17 so as to provide an armular portion 36 in ply 13 which serves to mask glue spot 16a as it extends through the aligned holes (see Fig. 4). Also ply 34 is coated front and back as at 37 and 38, such coatings being the same as coatings 22 and 21, respectively, on ply 12. Thus, a reactive component of each of the coatings 37 and 38 is capable of reacting, respectively, to produce a coloured mark with a reactive component of each of the coatings 21 and 23 of plies 12 and 13 upon coming into reactive contact therewith.
  • intermediate plies 12 and 34 may be removed and plies 11 and 13 may be reversely folded into the position shown in Fig. 3 whereupon coatings l8 and 24 are disposed in overlying relationship to one another.
  • Writing and image transfer on opposite sides of plies 11 and 13 may then be carried out similarly as described hereinabove with reference to Fig. 3
  • a simple and economical yet highly effective unit set of multiple plies has been devised using a unique arrangement of coatings comprising an initially colourless colour-forming reactive component on each of the surfaces of the plies to facilitate image production on both sides of the top and bottom plies of the set.
  • each of the plies facilitates the production of images on the intermediate and bottom plies as pressure is applied to the top ply of the set, whereafter the intermediate ply or plies may be removed and the top and bottom plies may be reversely folded so that their back surfaces overlie one another to facilitate the production of an image as a mark is impressed upon the reverse side of the set.
  • additional intermediate plies 34 having the same front and back coatings may be utilized in each unit set 10 or 33, each additional ply 34 having holes 35 in alignment with smaller hole 17 so as to function the aame as in Fig. 5, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
