20120037302 | Sheet Comprising a Plurality of Hospital Wristbands Connected to a Backing Sheet Without Perforations Between The Bands - A group of size-adjustable wristbands is disclosed. The group of wristbands includes a backing sheet that is connected to a stub area disposed at an end of the backing sheet. A plurality of elongated strips is connected to the stub area in a side-by-side fashion. Each strip includes a first end attached to an additional stub area and a second end attached to the stub area. Each strip further includes a top surface. The group of wristbands further includes a plurality of top sheets, each top sheet having a first end and a second end. The first end of each top sheet is attached to one of the strips along a top surface thereof. Each top sheet is clear and includes a bottom side coated with a top adhesive layer. Finally, the group of wristbands includes a plurality of top liners with each top liner being sandwiched between one of the top adhesive layers and one of the strips. | 02-16-2012 |
20110234720 | Multi-Part Form Made Using Single Pass/Single Web Manufacturing Process - A method is disclosed for manufacturing a multi-part form (MPF) in a single pass process wherein at least some of plurality of parts of the MPF may include variable data such as a serial number, tracking number or barcode. One disclosed method may include passing a single web through a plurality of print-heads wherein each of the plurality of print-heads prints a top or bottom side of a different part of the MPF on a different portion of the web. The copy printed on the parts by the plurality of print-heads may include indicia for the sequence of parts of the MPF. The web may then be passed through a digital printer for the printing of variable data on at least some of the parts. The method may further include passing the web through at least one additional print-head for printing a CF coating on the top surface of one or more parts. The printing of the CF coating on the top surface of the one or more parts preferably does not overlap any variable data. | 09-29-2011 |
20100296853 | Hold-Down Device for Multiple-Ply or Integrated Forms in Printer Trays - A hold-down device is disclosed for holding down the leading edges of sheet materials, such as multiple-ply sheets or integrated forms, disposed in a tray of a printer in a horizontal or flat position prior to feeding the leading edge of the top sheet or integrated form into the printer feed mechanism. Because some sheet materials are prone to curling, which causes jamming in the feed mechanism or downstream in printing path within commonly used printers, the disclosed hold-down device maintains the leading edge of the top sheet in a flat or horizontal position so it can be reliably and evenly received in the feeder mechanism of the printer, thereby reducing the chances of jamming when sheet materials that are prone to curling, such as multiple-ply sheets or integrated forms, are being printed. The hold-down device includes a base with two ends. Each end may include a retainer or other means for detachably connecting the base to the paper tray of the printer. The base is hingedly connected to a pair of parallel arms. Each arm includes a distal end that engages or rests on the top sheet adjacent, but proximal to the leading edge of the top sheet to prevent curling. | 11-25-2010 |
