Abstract
Abstract A heat transfer sheeting combination of the type for being applied to an article 10 to imprint a design thereon including a substrate 12, a design coating disposed on the substrate 12 and an adhesive layer 22 disposed on the design coating for adhesively securing the design coating to the article 10. The combination is characterized by the substrate 12 including a releasing agent coat 32 disposed between the design coating and the substrate 12 for facilitating the removal of the substrate 12 from the design coating after the application thereof onto the article 10.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A heat transfer sheeting combination of the type for being applied to an article (10) to imprint a design thereon, said combination comprising: a substrate (12) including a fibrous material (24), a design coating disposed on said substrate (12); and an adhesive layer (22) disposed on said design coating for adhesively securing said design coating to the article (10) and characterized by said substrate (12) including a releasing agent coat (32) disposed between said design coating and said substrate (12) for facilitating the removal of said substrate (12) from said design coating after the application thereof onto the article (10), said fibrous material (24) having fibers individually coated by said releasing agent coat (32) to define a matrix of coated fibers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
