Claim 5

Independent Claim 105 words

THE METHOD OF APPLYING TO EACH OF TWO SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH IS PELLUCID, AN INDEX MARK, SAID MARKS BEING DISPOSED IN PRECISE REGISTRY, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF INTERPOSING BETWEEN SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS A TRANSFER SHEET HAVING ON THE OPPOSED SURFACES THEREOF PRESSURE RELEASABLE INDEX MARKS, SAID MARKS ON SAID TRANSFER SHEET BEING IN PRECISE REGISTRATION, AND THEREAFTER SUBJECTING SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS, WITH SAID TRANSFER SHEETS THEREBETWEEN, TO LOCALUZED PRESSURES, THEREBY TO CAUSE SAID INDEX MARKS TO BE RELEASED FROM SAID CARRIER AND ADHESIVELY CONNECTED TO SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS IN THE SAME RELATIVE POSITIONAL RELATIONSHIP WHICH THEY OCCUPIED ON SAID TRANSFER SHEET.

Claim 6

Independent Claim 105 words

THE METHOD OF APPLYING TO EACH OF TWO SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS, AT LEAST ONE OF WHICH IS PELLUCID, AN INDEX MARK, SAID MARKS BEING DISPOSED IN PRECISE REGISTRY, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF INTERPOSING BETWEEN SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS A TRANSFER SHEET HAVING ON THE OPPOSED SURFACES THEREOF PRESSURE RELEASABLE INDEX MARKS, SAID MARKS ON SAID TRANSFER SHEET BEING IN PRECISE REGISTRATION, AND THEREAFTER SUBJECTING SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS, WITH SAID TRANSFER SHEETS THEREBETWEEN, TO LOCALUZED PRESSURES, THEREBY TO CAUSE SAID INDEX MARKS TO BE RELEASED FROM SAID CARRIER AND ADHESIVELY CONNECTED TO SAID SUPERIMPOSED SHEETS IN THE SAME RELATIVE POSITIONAL RELATIONSHIP WHICH THEY OCCUPIED ON SAID TRANSFER SHEET.

Claim 7

Dependent Claim 215 words

An article for applying index marks in precise alignment on a superimposed pair of receiver sheets comprising, in combination, a carrier sheet, a first index mark on said sheet, first adhesive means on said sheet for operatively connecting said first index mark to a said receiving sheet, a release coat on said carrier sheet, a second index mark in precise registry with said first index mark and releasibly bonded to said release coat, said second index mark comprising a coherent, solid, opaque film, second adhesive means covering said second index mark and portions of said release coat surrounding said mark, said second adhesive means being of the type having an initial low tack which is rendered highly adherent responsive to localized high pressure, the bond between said second adhesive means and said second index mark being substantially greater than the bond between said second index mark and said release coat, whereby when said article is disposed between two superimposed receiver sheets and the area of said sheets in registry with said index marks is subjected to localized high pressure, said first mark is secured to one said receiver sheet by said first adhesive means and said second mark is released from said coat and secured to said other receiver means by said second adhesive means.

Claim 8

Dependent Claim 215 words

An article for applying index marks in precise alignment on a superimposed pair of receiver sheets comprising, in combination, a carrier sheet, a first index mark on said sheet, first adhesive means on said sheet for operatively connecting said first index mark to a said receiving sheet, a release coat on said carrier sheet, a second index mark in precise registry with said first index mark and releasibly bonded to said release coat, said second index mark comprising a coherent, solid, opaque film, second adhesive means covering said second index mark and portions of said release coat surrounding said mark, said second adhesive means being of the type having an initial low tack which is rendered highly adherent responsive to localized high pressure, the bond between said second adhesive means and said second index mark being substantially greater than the bond between said second index mark and said release coat, whereby when said article is disposed between two superimposed receiver sheets and the area of said sheets in registry with said index marks is subjected to localized high pressure, said first mark is secured to one said receiver sheet by said first adhesive means and said second mark is released from said coat and secured to said other receiver means by said second adhesive means.
