Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
An article for applying an index mark and a silhouette thereof in precise registry respectively on a superimposed pair of receiver sheets between which said article is disposed comprising, in combination, a carrier sheet having a release surface, an indicia marking comprised of a coherent, opaque, discontinuous film releasibly bonded to said release surface, said film at least partially encompassing uncoated areas of said release surface, a second, continuous, opaque, readily frangible marking disposed in registry with said indicia marking and said encompassed areas, said second marking being firmly adherent to said encompassed areas of said release surface and to the films of said indicia marking, and an adhesive layer covering said second marking whereby, when said adhesive layer is secured to a receiver sheet and said carrier sheet peeled away from said receiver sheet, said adhesive, said first indicia marking, and the portions of said second marking in registry with said first marking will be transferred to said receiver sheet and the portions of said second marking in registry with said encompassed areas will remain on said carrier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
168 words
An article for applying an index mark and a silhouette thereof in precise registry respectively on a superimposed pair of receiver sheets between which said article is disposed comprising, in combination, a carrier sheet having a release surface, an indicium comprised of a coherent film releasibly bonded to said release surface, said film at least partially encompassing areas of said release surface, a second continuous, opaque, readily frangible layer disposed in registry with said indicium and with said encompassed areas, said second layer being firmly adherent to said encompassed areas of said release surface and to said indicium, and an adhesive layer covering said second layer, whereby, when said adhesive layer is secured to a receiver sheet and said carrier sheet pulled away from said receiver sheet, said adhesive, said indicium and the portions of said second layer in registry with said indicium will be transferred to said receiver sheet, and the portions of said second layer in registry with said encompassed areas will remain on said carrier.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
168 words
An article for applying an index mark and a silhouette thereof in precise registry respectively on a superimposed pair of receiver sheets between which said article is disposed comprising, in combination, a carrier sheet having a release surface, an indicium comprised of a coherent film releasibly bonded to said release surface, said film at least partially encompassing areas of said release surface, a second continuous, opaque, readily frangible layer disposed in registry with said indicium and with said encompassed areas, said second layer being firmly adherent to said encompassed areas of said release surface and to said indicium, and an adhesive layer covering said second layer, whereby, when said adhesive layer is secured to a receiver sheet and said carrier sheet pulled away from said receiver sheet, said adhesive, said indicium and the portions of said second layer in registry with said indicium will be transferred to said receiver sheet, and the portions of said second layer in registry with said encompassed areas will remain on said carrier.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
