SUMMARYOF THE INVENTION The invention comprises the method of making record assemblies using a laminated web having a web of supporting material and a web of label material releasably adhered to the web of supporting material by pressure-sensitive adhesive. The supporting material is partially severed transversely along longitudinally spacedapart lines and is partially severed longitudinally along a line. The label material is atleast partially severed and preferably entirely severed along the transverse lines and the longitudinal line. The partial severing of the supporting material and the severing of the label material along the transverse lines transforms the laminated web into a plurality of separable assemblies. The partial severing of the supporting material and the severing of the label material along the same. longitudinal line transforms the assemblies into sections. The label material on the one section of each assembly provides one record member. By at least partially severing and preferably completely severing only thelabel material of the other section of each assembly, additional record members are formed. Each assembly is considered to be a record assembly, and in one embodiment the one section is a record section and its single record member comprises a dealer record, and the other section is a record section and its record members comprise a customer receipt and a label which is applied to the article to which the dealer record and receipt relate. In the other embodiment the one section is a record section and its single record member comprises a customer receipt, and the other section is a record section and its record members comprise a dealer record and a label. The dealer records, the receipts, and the labels are imprinted with legends and/or data useful in connection with the specific application for which the record assemblies are to be used. When the desired number of it to the customer. The adhesive-free zone on the label material is useful in forming an adhesive-free tab on the label which facilitates the stripping away of the label.

The item is processed by the processor and is returned to the dealer. When the customer desires to take delivery of the processed item the dealer matches up the receipt and the label, and if they correspond he presents the processed item to the customer in exchange for the receipt and payment for the processing.

Itis apparent that the record assemblies can be constructed using a laminate having standard elements, in-

stead of using any special separator sheets as in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 3,226,862. Also, in the record assembly of the present invention the surfaces of all the record members are disposed in the same plane to facilitate :preprinting and imprinting by a wide variety of types of printers and imprinters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the embodiment of FIGS. I through 4 and initially to FIG. 1, there is shown a composite web generally indicated at 10 of record assemblies generally indicated at ll, 12, and 13, made by practicing the method of the invention. The composite web 10 is constructed by providing a web of supporting or backing material 14 and a web of pressure-sensitive label material 15. The label material 15 can be of any desired thicknesssuitable for record purposes. The underside of the label material 15 is provided with a patterned coating'of pressure-sensitive adhesive 16. The upper surface of the web of supporting material 14 is provided with a standard release coating (not shown) as is known in the art. The pressure-sensitive adhesive 16 removably adheres the label material 15 to the supporting material 14. I

In making the composite web 10, the supporting material 14 is partially severed transversely along longitudinally equally spaced-apart lines 17. The supporting material 14 is also partially severed longitudinally along a line 18. The label material 15 is at least partially severed and is preferably entirely severed transversely along longitudinally equally spaced-apart lines 17. The lines 17 and 17' are in alignment as shown in FIG. I. The label material 15 is at least partially severed and'is preferably entirely severed longitudinally along a line 3 18'. The

lines

18 and 18 are-in alignment as best shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The transversely extending partial severing lines 17 in the supporting material 14 and the transversely extending severing lines-17 in the label material 15 form the

separable record assemblies

11, 12, 13, and so on, of the composite web 10. The partial severing line 18 and the aligned severing line 18 divide each

record assembly

11, 12, 13, etc. into

separable record sections

19 and 20. The partial severing along each transverse line 17 in the supporting material 14 and the severing along the line 17 in the label material is preferably accomplished simultaneously by a knife (not shown); and the partial severing along each longitudinal line 18 in the supporting material 14 and the severing along the line 18' in label material is preferably accomplished simultaneously by a knife (not shown). A severing line 21 having

line portions

22 and 23 are cut through the label material 15 but do not extend into the supporting material 14. The line portion 22 extends transversely and the line portion 23 extends longitudinally. The

line portion

22 and 23 intersect as indicated at 24 at right angles. Each record section 19 provides a record member 19 a and each record section 20 provides a plurality, and as specifically illustrated two,

record members

20a and 20b.

The pattern of the adhesive 16 on the underside of the label. material 15 issuch that the adhesive 16 is omitted along marginal side edges 25 and 26 and along a zone 27 which extends longitudinally the full length of the web of label material 15 as best illustrated in FIG. 3. Holes or apertures generally indicated at 28 extend through the marginal side edges of sections 19 (FIGS. 1 and 4). All the apertures 28 are equally spaced apart so that not only can a sheet of a predetermined number of record assemblies cut from the composite web be fastened in a ring binder (not shown), but the composite web 10 can be fed through an imprinter (not shown) having a tractor or sprocket feed mechanism (not shown). In such an imprinter, the teeth (not shown) of the tractor or sprocket feed mechanism would engage in the apertures 28 to feed the composite web 10. The apertures 28 comprise aligned holes or apertures 29 formed in the web of supporting material and holes or apertures 29 cut through the marginal edge 25 of the label material beyond the adhesive 16. The apertures 28 are preferably formed by punching through the composite web in the location indicated in the drawing by conventional punching ap-- paratus. The adhesive pattern at the marginal edge 25 is such that the punches which form the apertures 28 neednot contact any of the adhesive 16. Similarly, the adhesive pattern at the zone 27 obviates any problems of theknife coming into contactwith the adhesive 16.

In that the record assemblies ll, 12, Band so on of the composite web 10 are identical, only the record assembly 11 is referred to hereinafter in detail. The dealer record 19a is provided with preprinted legends, namely customer", street, and phone. The receipt a is provided with preprinted warranty statement, having a heading WARRANTY. The label 20b contains the preprinted designations customer" and "address".

As is evident from FIG. I, the dealer record 19a, the receipt 20a and the label 20b of the record assembly 11 are imprinted with an identifying number or indicia 30,

which in the illustrated embodiment is "45495". The dealer record 19a, the receipt 20a, and the label 20b of the next adjacent record assembly 12 carryan identifying number (or indicia) 31 which in the illustrated em- .bodiment is 45496. It is apparent that the record assemblies 11, l2, l3, and so on are serially numbered so that the set of numbers or other suitable indicia on the dealer record, the label, and the receipt of any one record assembly is different from the set of indicia or othersuitable indicia on the other record assemblies in the web 10. Thus, each record assembly 11, 12', and so on has identifying

indicia

30, 31, and so on. The indicia appearing on the record member 20b is imprinted in both human readable form indicated at 30' and in the form of a machine readable code illustrated as being a bar code 30" which is representative of the number 45495. The imprinting of the indicia 30 can be by either a photodetectable or a magnetic medium. The receipt 20a and the label 20b carry the preprinted name of the processor as indicated by the designation PROCESSOR at 33 and 34, respectively. The receipt also carries the name of the particular dealer as indicated at 35 by the designation DEALER. In that the free tab 27a on the margin of the label 20b and anarrow adhesive-free strip 27b on the receipt 20a.

Accordingly, it is easy to start removing the label 20b from the supporting material 14 of the record section In preparing the composite web 10 for use by the dealer, the processor feeds the composite web 10 with the preprinting as indicated above through an imprinter which is set or programmed to print the identifying indicia 30 and 32 and the dealers name 35. Notches generally indicated at 36 comprise aligned notches 37 in the supporting material 14 and notches 37 in the label 'material 15. The notches 36 are used for registering the web 10 at the printing station in the imprinter. The composite web 10 is then cut into sheets of the desired length having a considerable number of record assemblies per sheet.. The sheets of record assemblies are then delivered to a dealer who can insert them in his ring binder for future use. When'a customer places an order to have the item processed, the dealers clerk writes in the customer-identifying information as best shown in FIG. 4 on both the dealer record 19a and on the label 20b. Having entered this information, the label 20b is stripped from the supporting material 14 of recordv section 20 and is adhered by means of the adhesive 16 to the item to be processed. The record member 20b remains adhesively adhered to the supporting material 14 of the record section and is given to the customer as his receipt. When the item has been processed it is returned to the dealer by the processor. When the customer returns to take delivery of the processed item he presents the receipt 20a to the dealers clerk who matches up the identifying indicia 30 on the receipt 20a with the identifying indicia 30 on the label 20b. If these indicia match up, the dealer's clerk delivers the processed item to the customer in exchange for the receipt and payment for the processing.

Referring to the embodiment of FIGS. 5, 6, and 7, there is shown a composite web generally indicated at of record assemblies generally indicated at 111,

. 1 12,71 13, and so on, made by practicing the method of the invention. The composite web 110 isconstructed by providing a web of supporting material 114 and a web of pressure-sensitive label material 115. The underside of the label material 115 is provided with a pattemed coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive 116. The upper surface of the web of supporting material 114 is provided with a release coating as is known in the an. The pressure-sensitive adhesive 116 releasably adheres the label material 115 to the supporting material 114. In making the composite web 110, the supporting material 114 is partially severed transversely along longitudinally equally spaced-apart lines 117. The supporting material 114 is also partially severed'along a line 118. The label material 115 is at least partially severed along a longitudinally extending line 118' which extends along the same line in alignment with the line 118 of partial severing in the supporting material 114.

The transverse partial severing lines 117 in the supporting material 114 and the aligned transverse severing lines 117 in the label material 115 form the

separable record assemblies

111, 112, 113, and so on of the compositeweb 110. The lines 118 and 118' of partial severing divide each

record assembly

112, 113, and so on into

separable record sections

119 and 120. A severing line 121 extends through the label material 115 in a longitudinal direction but does not extend into the supporting material 114. Each sectionll l9 provides a plurality and as specifically illustrated two record members 119a and 11% and each section 120 provides a record member 120a.

The pattern of the adhesive 116 on the underside of the label material 115 is such that the adhesive 116 is omitted along marginal side edges 125 and 126 and along a zone 127 which extends longitudinally the full length of the web of label material 115. Holes or apertures generally indicated at 128 extend-through the marginal side edges of the

sections

119 and 120. All the apertures 128 are equally spaced apart so that not only can a sheet of predetermined number of a predetermined number of record assemblies cut from the composite web 110 be fastened in a ring binder, but the composite web 110 of record assemblies can be fed through the imprinter referred to above. The apertures 128 comprise aligned apertures 129 formed in the web of supporting material and apertures 129' out through the

marginal edges

125 and 126 of the label material 115 beyond the adhesive 116. The

record assemblies

119 and 120 contain the same information but arranged differently than the record assemblies of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4. The label 11% has an adhesive-free tab 127a and the receipt 120a has a small adhesive-free strip 127b. Notches generally indicated at 136 comprise aligned notches 137 in the supporting material 114 and notches 137' in the label material 115. The notches 136 are used for registering the web 110 at the printing station in the imprinter.

The use of the composite web of the embodiment of FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 is the same as the use of the composite web in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4, with the exception that the record member 11% is peeled from the supporting material 114 as illustrated in FIG. 7 and applied to the item to be processed and the record section 120 is separated from the record section 119 by tearing along the line where the partial severing 118 and 118' exists. Once the record section as his receipt.

Other embodiments and modifications of this invention will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art, and all such of these as come within the spirit of this invention are included within its scope as best defined by the appended claims.
