Adhesive strip set for splicing film strips

Claim 2

An adhesive strip set for splicing abutting ends of motion picture film strip portions of the type having sprocket holes and having sound track and compensating track locations along opposite edges of one surface thereof comprising a first foil to be adhered to the surface of the film strip portions having the sound and compensating track locations a second foil to be adhered to the opposite surface of the film strip portions, each of said first and second foils having a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on each surface thereof, the width of said first foil being less than the distance between the sound and compensating track locations; first and second separate, releasable masking strip means releasably adhered to coatings on one side of each of said first and second foils, respectively, for covering the adhesive coatings on the surfaces thereof which are to be placed adjacent the film strip portions, said first and second strip means being more easily releasable from said coatings than are said foils; a third holding and masking strip releasably adhered to the coatings on the opposite surfaces of both of said first and second foils, the coatings adhering said third strip being removable from said foils with said third strip; and means defining apertures in said third strip, said apertures being longitudinally arranged in said third strip between said first and second foils to permit alignment of said strip set with the sprocket holes in the film so that one of said foils is properly positioned adjacent one surface of the film, said third means being foldable along line parallel with said apertures to position the other one of said foils adjacent the opposite surface of the film.

Claim 3

An adhesive strip set according to claim 1 wherein each of said first and second masking strip means includes means defining apertures in registry with the apertures in said third strip means for aligning said foils relative to the sprocket holes in the film strip portions.

Claim 4

An adhesive strip set according to claim 2 wherein each of said first and second strip means includes a strip portion adjacent one of said foils, a reversely directed portion extending beyond the outer margin of its respective foil, and a bent portion joining said strip and reversely directed portions, said bent portion having said means defining apertures in registry with the apertures in said third masking strip means.

Claim 5

A two-part adhesive strip set for splicing abutting ends of motion picture film strip portions of the type having sprocket holes and having sound track and compensating track locations along opposite edges of one surface thereof comprising a first strip set part including a first foil to be adhered to the surface of the film strip portions having the sound and compensating track locations, said first foil having a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on each surface thereof, the width of said first foil being less than the distance between the sound and compensating track locations, a first masking strip releasably adhered to one said coating on one surface of said first foil, a second masking strip releasably adhered to said coating on the opposite surface surface of said first foil, the coating adhering said second strip being removable from said foil with said second strip, and means defining apertures in said second strip to permit alignment thereof with the sprocket holes in the film; and a second strip set part including a second foil to be adhered to the opposite surface of the film strip portions from said first foil, said second foil having a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on each surface thereof, a third masking strip releasably adhered to one said coating on one surface of said second foil, a fourth masking strip releasably adhered to said coating on the opposite surface surface of said second foil, the coating adhering said fourth strip being removable from said second foil with said fourth strip, and means defining apertures in said fourth strip to permit alignment thereof with the sprocket holes in the film, each of said first, second, third and fourth masking strips being significantly wider than either of said first and second foils.

Claim 6

A two-part adhesive strip set for splicing abutting ends of motion picture film strip portions of the type having sprocket holes and having sound track and compensating track locations along opposite edges of one surface thereof comprising a first strip set part including a first foil to be adhered to the surface of the film strip portions having the sound and compensating track locations, said first foil having a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on each surface thereof, the width of said first foil being less than the distance between the sound and compensating track locations, a first masking strip releasably adhered to one said coating on one surface of said first foil, a second masking strip releasably adhered to said coating on the opposite surface surface of said first foil, the coating adhering said second strip being removable from said foil with said second strip, and means defining apertures in said second strip to permit alignment thereof with the sprocket holes in the film; and a second strip set part including a second foil to be adhered to the opposite surface of the film strip portions from said first foil, said second foil having a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive on each surface thereof, a third masking strip releasably adhered to one said coating on one surface of said second foil, a fourth masking strip releasably adhered to said coating on the opposite surface surface of said second foil, the coating adhering said fourth strip being removable from said second foil with said fourth strip, and means defining apertures in said fourth strip to permit alignment thereof with the sprocket holes in the film, each of said first, second, third and fourth masking strips being significantly wider than either of said first and second foils.

Claim 7

An adhesive strip set according to claim 4 wherein said first masking strip and said first foil include means defining apertures in registry with said apertures in said second masking strip for aligning said first foil relative to the sprocket holes in the film strip portions, and said third masking strip and said second foil include means defining apertures in registry with said apertures in said fourth masking strip for aligning said second foil relative to said sprocket holes.

Claim 8

An adhesive strip set according to claim 5 wherein each of said first and third strips includes a strip portion adjacent its associated one of said foils, a reversely directed portion extending beyond the outer margin of its respective foil, and a bent portion joining said strip and said reversely directed portions, said bent portion having said means defining apertures in registry with the apertures in said second and fourth masking strips, respectively.
