Abstract
Abstract A bifunctional label storage card including a carrier member with pressure-sensitive adhesive labels stored on one of its surfaces and a hinge member detachably joined to the opposite surface of the carrier member, the carrier member being separable into two portions along at least one zone underneath portions of the labels stored thereon and the hinge member also being separable into at least two portions, so that a portion separated from the carrier can be hinged backwardly to expose an end of labels stored thereon or, alternatively, a portion of the carrier member and a portion of the hinged member can be separated from the balance of the structure for withdrawal of labels from the card and then precisely replaced to provide continued protection against soiling or other damage to the adhesive of any unused labels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
In a dispenser and storage card assembly for pressuresensitive adhesive labels of the type including a card, pressuresensitive adhesive releasably joined to one surface of the card, and a hinge sheet of flexible material adhered to the opposite surface of the card, which card includes a slit line underlying labels thereon with a minor portion of a label on one side and a major portion of a label on the other side of the slit line, the improvement wherein: a slit line is formed in the hinge sheet and arranged parallel to the slit line formed in the card; the slit line formed in the hinge sheet being spaced from the slit line formed in the card; and the card is separable into portions along the slit line formed therein so that one portion of the card can be moved relative to the remainder of the card upon folding of the hinge sheet for dispensing of labels from the card and, alternatively, a portion of the card and an adhered portion of the hinge sheet are detachable from the balance of the assembly along the slit line formed in the card and the slit line formed in the hinge sheet for dispensing of labels from the card.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
