Patented Apr. 26,l 1938 PATENT OFFICE 2,115,345 DECALCOMANIA TRANSFER Charles W. Stillwcll, Framingham, Mass., assignor to Dennison Manufactum; Company, Framingham, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts' 'Application January 7, 193s, serial No. 57,895
6 Claims.
This invention relates primarily to decalcomania transfers of the positive type in which each transfer design is adhesively mounted face outward on a backing of paper or other suitable material and, when transferred, is similarly mounted on the surface to be decorated or la beled. While various kinds of adhesive may be employed, by using a water soluble adhesive the designs may be removed from the backing material merely by dipping the transfers in water, the a'dhesive remaining on the backs of the designs serving to mount them on the surface to be decorated. I Objects of the invention are to provide transfers in strip form, thereby facilitating the manufacture, packaging and use thereof, to permit severance o f individual transfers of the strip Y without danger of mutilation of the designs, and
to facilitate the transfer of each design from the backing to the surface to be decorated.
lIn one aspect the present invention involves spacing the designs apart lengthwise of the strip with waste zones between successive designs,
-whereby the designs may be cut apart anywhere in said zones without mutilating the designs.
\ The design layer is preferably weakened at the junction between` said zones and designs, as by cuts extending through the design layer but not through the backing, whereby the designs may be readily removed by wetting Without trimming off said waste edges.
In another aspect the labels or other transfer the individual designs may be slipped olf that side of the strip when wetted. When both lateral 4boundaries of the designs are non-rectilinear both margins may be out away. However in the preferred form only one margin is cut away and the waste margin along the opposite edge of the strip preferably has portions extending between the designs, constituting the aforesaid waste zones.
For the purpose of illustration typical embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawing in which,
Fig. 1 is a face view of one embodiment with neither margin trimmed olf;
Fig. 2 is a face view of another embodiment like that shown in Fig. 1 except in that both margins have been removed;
Fig. 3 is a face view of still another embodiment like those of Figs. 1 and 2 except in that only one margin has been trimmed off;
Fig. fi is a section on line 4--4 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a section on line`5-5 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 6' is a diagrammatic representation of a dispenser for use with the aforesaid transfer strips.
Each of the illustrated embodiments comprises a backing I of paper or other suitable material, a coating 2 of adhesive and a layer of design' material 3 such as lacquer or other waterproof material. The layer 3 is preferably formed by coating the entire surface of the gum 2 and thenv printing over this coating the desired designs. In the illustration the designs comprise those portions of the layer 3 within the outlines 4, the layer 3 being weakened along these outlines as by a. lcut extendingy entirelythrough the layer but not into the backing I. All of the strips outside the outlines 4 constitute waste material. In Fig. 1 none of the waste material has been cut away, in Fig. 2 both waste margins have been cut away, leaving only, the waste zones 5 between successive designs, and in Fig. 3 one waste margin has been cut away, leaving the other waste margin, together with the intermediate zones 5, interconnected with the designs 4 through the medium of the backing I and the adhesive 2. In the case of any one of the three modifications the strip of transfers may be dispensed in the `form vof a roll instead of inthe form of individual transfers.
In use the transfersmay be removed from the strips in `various ways. For example, a single design may be severed from one end of the strip anywhere through the adjacent waste zones 5 and then, after dipping the cut-olf portion in water to loosen the design from the backing, it may be applied to the surface to be decorated by means of the adhesive remaining on its rear face, the waste portions of the adjacent zones 5 either remaining on the backing or floating oi in the water independently of the design by virtue of the cuts 4 extending through the layer 3. Where one or both of the margins are cut away as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 each design may be slipped roll located beyond the aforesaid raised surface.
to be used in dispensing devices of the type in which the Iroll first passes through a reservoir of water and thence over al surface somewhat above the level of the Water so that the transfers may be peeled or slipped oi! after passing through the water and while on the raised surface. In this case the continuous backing serves to feed the strips as, for example, 'by means of a feed In the dispenser illustrated in Fig. 6, 6 is the feed roll, I the reservoir of water, 8 the raised surface and 9 the'take-up roll which may be provided with a handle for feeding the strip.
It should be understood that the present disclosure is for the purpose of illustration only and Athat this invention includes all modifications and equivalents which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
l. A strip of decalcomania transfers comprising a ribbon of backing material, a coating of adhesive on said ribbon, and a layer of design material adhering to said coating, said layer comprising a series of designs separated by waste zones and said strip having weakened lines at the juno'- tions between said designs and zones, said lines being substantially confined to said layer.
2. A strip of decalcomania transfers comprising a ribbon, of backing material, a coating of adhesive on said ribbon, and a layer of design material adhering to said coating, said layer comprisinga series of designs having a non-rectilinear outline-along one margin of the ribbon and said strip being cut away along said outline.
3. A strip of decalcomania transfers comprising a ribbon of backing material, a coating of adhesive on said ribbon, and a layer of design material adhering to said coating, said layer comand said strip being cut away along said outline,
the strip also comprising a waste margin having portions extending between the designs and delineat'ed therefrom by weakened lines insaid layer. 5. A strip of decalcomania transfers comprising a ribbon of backing material, a coating of ad-` hesive on said ribbon, and a 1ayer of design material adhering to said coating, said layer comprising a series of designs having a non-rectilinear outline along each margin of the ribbon and said strip being cut away along each of said outlines, the strip also comprising a waste margin having portions extending between the designs and delineated therefrom by weakened lines in said layer.
6. `A strip of decalcomania transfers comprising a ribbon of backing material, a coating of adhesive on said ribbon, and a layer of design material adhering to said coating, said layer comprising a series of designs having a non-rectilinear outline along one margin of the ribbon, said strip being cut away along said outline, and said layer being cut throughout the remaining outline of each design.
