Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to geometric instruments, for example rulers, and more particularly to a geometric instrument including other information thereon.
  • the present invention is a .lamination of a developed photographic transparency layer bearing information between two additional transparent layers wherein one of the additional transparent layers has geometric indicia on at least one edge thereof.
  • Photographic transparencies are inexpensive to make and reproduce and provide the fine detail which is missing from prior art devices.
  • the overall shape of the layers may be generally rectangular with linear indicia thereon to produce a ruler.
  • the ruler may provide indicia along opposing edges (one in inches and the other in metric).
  • the photographic transparency layer has essentially the dimensions of the additional two transparency layers and may include two or more frames.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a geometric instrument including information displayed in fine detail.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a geometric instrument including fine detailed information at a reasonable price.
  • An even further object of the present invention is to provide a geometric instrument containing an advertisement which is far more attractive than previous advertising devices.
  • a still further object is to provide a method of making a geometric instrument bearing personalized information which can be economically produced in small quantities.
  • Figure 1 is a view showing the assembling of the layers to be laminated according to the principles of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of a completed laminated geometric instrument incorporating the principles of the present invention.
  • the geometric instrument of the present invention includes a first transparent layer 10 having geometric indicia 12 along one edge 14 thereof and a second type of geometric indicia 16 along the second edge 18 opposite edge 14.
  • the geometric indicia 12 and 16 may be linear and may represent inches and centimeters, respectively.
  • Alignment marks 19 for a photographic transparency are also provided on the first transparency 10.
  • Joined to transparent layer 10 at edge 14 is a second transparent layer 20.
  • the second transparent layer 20 is shown joined to the first transparent layer 10, they may be separately formed and not initially interconnected. The joining of the two transparencies forms a pouch and prevents relative movement of the two transparencies during lamination.
  • the third and intermediate layer of the three layer composite laminate structure of the geometric instrument of the present invention is a developed photographic transparency layer 24 which includes a plurality of frames 26.
  • the photographic transparency layer 24 has the information to be displayed recorded in the frames 26.
  • the detail and fineness of the presentation of the information far exceeds that previously produced by printed techniques onto paper or other material.
  • the reproduction is more precise and could be significantly less expensive than other techniques.
  • the use of a photographic transparency instead of printing allows low cost production of personalized information in quantities as small as one.
  • the definition of the information recorded on the transparent photographic layer 24 is sufficient to be viewed by the naked eye without magnification.
  • the information is viewed by light traversing the three layers, for example entering through the rear layer 20 traversing the frames 26 of the photographic transparency and egressing from the front transparency 10.
  • the information on the photographic transparency may be advertising, it should be noted that other type of information may be included, for example, a conversion table from farenheit to centigrade or other types of technical information which may be useful to specific trades or professions.
  • the indicia 12 and 16 on the edge of the instrument may be monograms or other representations.
  • the information bearing geometric instrument as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is a six inch ruler being generally rectangular in shape. It should be noted that the photographic transparency includes four frames, has the general geometric dimensions of the transparent layers 10 and 20 and extends over a substantial portion thereof. The use of 35mm film provides a sufficient definition to be view unmagnified. It is obvious that other geometric instruments that may be formed using the principles of the present invention. For example, a protractor could have information bearing photographic transparency lamination between two layers. This is but an example of another type of geometric instruments which may be formed using the principals of the present invention.
  • the process for making the present invention includes recording the information on the photographic transparency, developing the photographic transparency and placing it between a first transparency having geometric indicia thereon and a second transparency which may be blank or include additional geometric indicia.
  • the indicia on the first transparency may be printed thereon by, for example, silk screening.
  • the photographic transparency is aligned between the alignment marks 19 so that it will not obstruct the single geometric instrument.
  • a typical example for transparent layers 10 and 20 is vinyl, having a thickness of approximately 10 mils. This is but an example of one type of material and thickness which may be used.
  • positive photographic transparencies have been illustrated in the present invention, negative photographic transparencies may also be used.
  • the variety of colors, definition and type of information which may be recorded and displayed with the geometric instrument is greatly increased over the prior art.

Abstract

Un instrument geometrique, par exemple une regle, est forme d'une premiere couche transparente (10) portant des signes geometriques (12) au moins le long d'un de ses bords, une seconde couche transparente (20) et une pellicule photographique developpee (24) portant une information et laminee entre la premiere et la seconde couches transparentes.
