Abstract
Abstract A picture-making device which comprises in combination a picture-making plate and a transfer film. The picture-making plate comprises a base plate with an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the base plate and a liner superposed releasably on the adhesive layer. The transfer film carries on one surface thereof a releasable layer to be transferred in part to a portion of the adhesive layer from which a corresponding overlying portion of the liner has been removed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A picture-making device comprising in combination a picture-making plate and a transfer film, said picture-making plate comprising a base plate, an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of said base plate and a liner which is superposed releasably on the surface of said adhesive layer, said liner having a plurality of cut lines in a square lattice pattern, and said transfer film comprising a transparent carrier carrying on one surface thereof a releasable layer comprising a coloring agent that contrasts well with said liner to be transferred in part to a portion of said adhesive layer from which a corresponding overlying square portion of said liner has been removed, said releasable layer having greater adhesion to said adhesive layer than to said transparent carrier but having greater adhesion to said transparent carrier than to said liner, whereby said releasable layer transfers to said picture-making plate only in those areas from which said liner has been removed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A picture-making device comprising in combination a picture-making plate and a transfer film, said picture-making plate comprising a base plate, an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of said base plate and a liner which is superposed releasably on the surface of said adhesive layer, said liner having a plurality of cut lines in a square lattice pattern, and said transfer film comprising a transparent carrier carrying on one surface thereof a releasable layer comprising a coloring agent that contrasts well with said liner to be transferred in part to a portion of said adhesive layer from which a corresponding overlying square portion of said liner has been removed, said releasable layer having greater adhesion to said adhesive layer than to said transparent carrier but having greater adhesion to said transparent carrier than to said liner, whereby said releasable layer transfers to said picture-making plate only in those areas from which said liner has been removed.
