Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, means partially severing the record between the other ends of the through-cuts, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts, the first record part being pivotal about the partial severing means and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the partial severing means, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive for adhering the second record part to merchandise, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, means partially severing the record between the other ends of the through-cuts, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts, the first record part being pivotal about the partial severing means and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the partial severing means, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive for adhering the second record part to merchandise, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
157 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, means partially severing the record between the other ends of the through-cuts, thereby dividing the record into a generally rectangular first record part and a generally U-shaped second record part, a frangible portion between the other end of at least one of the through-cuts and the partial severing means which tends to keep the first and second record parts in the same plane, the first record part being pivotal about the partial severing means and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the partial severing means, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive on its underside, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
157 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, means partially severing the record between the other ends of the through-cuts, thereby dividing the record into a generally rectangular first record part and a generally U-shaped second record part, a frangible portion between the other end of at least one of the through-cuts and the partial severing means which tends to keep the first and second record parts in the same plane, the first record part being pivotal about the partial severing means and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the partial severing means, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive on its underside, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A record assembly as defined in claim 2, wherein there is a frangible portion between the partial severing means and each of the other ends of the through-cuts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
193 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of relatively stiff material and having a pair of end edges and a pair of side edges, an elongated through-cut in the record, one end of the through-cut extending to one of the end edges of the record, a line of partial severing in the record extending generally parallal to the end edges and extending from near the other end of the through-cut to one side edge of the record, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts, a frangible portion between the other end of the through-cut and the line of partial severing which tends to keep the first and second record parts in the same plane, wherein the through-cut is at least about four times longer than the frangible portion, the first record part being pivotal about the line of partial severing and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the line of partial severing, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive on its underside, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
193 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of relatively stiff material and having a pair of end edges and a pair of side edges, an elongated through-cut in the record, one end of the through-cut extending to one of the end edges of the record, a line of partial severing in the record extending generally parallal to the end edges and extending from near the other end of the through-cut to one side edge of the record, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts, a frangible portion between the other end of the through-cut and the line of partial severing which tends to keep the first and second record parts in the same plane, wherein the through-cut is at least about four times longer than the frangible portion, the first record part being pivotal about the line of partial severing and being removable from the second record part by tearing along the line of partial severing, the second record part having pressure-sensitive adhesive on its underside, the first record part being free of adhesive, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the underside of the second record part.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
135 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, frangible portions between the other ends of the through-cuts and another edge of the record, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts and an intervening third record part, the respective through-cuts extending through distances several times greater than the lengths of the respective frangible portions, pressure-sensitive adhesive on the undersides of the first and second record parts, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the first and second record Parts, the third record part being readily removable from the first and second record parts by pivoting the third record part and thereby tearing the frangible portions.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
135 words
A record assembly, comprising: a record composed of a relatively stiff material, a pair of elongated through-cuts in the record, the one ends of the through-cuts extending to the same edge of the record, frangible portions between the other ends of the through-cuts and another edge of the record, thereby dividing the record into first and second record parts and an intervening third record part, the respective through-cuts extending through distances several times greater than the lengths of the respective frangible portions, pressure-sensitive adhesive on the undersides of the first and second record parts, and backing material releasably adhered to the adhesive on the first and second record Parts, the third record part being readily removable from the first and second record parts by pivoting the third record part and thereby tearing the frangible portions.
