Abstract A plurality of labels is disclosed which are formed from contact type film material and to a predetermined height and width. Each label includes an information surface on one side thereof and an attaching surface, on the obverse side, coated with a light tack self-stick adhesive. A bottom label is removably affixed to a carrying member formed with a suitable release surface and so as to extend wider than the label to provide an attaching edge. An upper, and all intermediate labels are removably affixed to one surface of film-type transfer member having an exposed carbonized surface adapted, under pressure, to act as carbon paper to transfer an image to an adjacent member. The transfer members extend wider than their labels to also provide attaching edges. All labels are bent over along one edge to facilitate removal from their carrying members. The attaching is by staples. A label set is prepared by fastening together, utilizing the attaching edges, a bottom label, an upper label, and if desired, one or more intermediate labels. Each set is arranged so that the carbon transfer surface is disposed adjacent the information surface of the next label so that writing, typing, or other impact printing on the top label with sufficient pressure will result in the information appearing on all the labels.
A label set; comprising: (a) a first label group; (b) a second label group; (c) fastening means attaching said first label group and said second label group together to form a label set; (d) said first label group including at least a first label formed to a predetermined height and width from contact type film material and having an information surface and an adhesive surface of light tack self-stick type adhesive; and a first carrying member for said first label; (e) said first carrying member being formed to a predetermined height and width and from film material with a first surface to removably receive said adhesive surface of said first label and a second surface coated with carbonized matter that will transfer to an adjacent surface when pressure is applied to said first surface of said carrying member; (f) said second label group including at least a second label formed to a predetermined height and width from contact type film material and having an information surface and an adhesive surface of light tack self-stick type adhesive, and a second carrying member formed to a predetermined height and width for releasably carrying said second label by having said adhesive surface disposed against a surface thereof; (g) said label set being assembled with said carbonized matter coated surface of said first label disposed proximate said information surface of said second label so that information applied to said first label with sufficient pressure will appear upon said second label.

A label set; comprising: (a) a first label group; (b) a second label group; (c) fastening means attaching said first label group and said second label group together to form a label set; (d) said first label group including at least a first label formed to a predetermined height and width from contact type film material and having an information surface and an adhesive surface of light tack self-stick type adhesive; and a first carrying member for said first label; (e) said first carrying member being formed to a predetermined height and width and from film material with a first surface to removably receive said adhesive surface of said first label and a second surface coated with carbonized matter that will transfer to an adjacent surface when pressure is applied to said first surface of said carrying member; (f) said second label group including at least a second label formed to a predetermined height and width from contact type film material and having an information surface and an adhesive surface of light tack self-stick type adhesive, and a second carrying member formed to a predetermined height and width for releasably carrying said second label by having said adhesive surface disposed against a surface thereof; (g) said label set being assembled with said carbonized matter coated surface of said first label disposed proximate said information surface of said second label so that information applied to said first label with sufficient pressure will appear upon said second label.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The label set of claim 1, wherein said first label group includes a pair of labels each carried by a carrying member having a transfer surface coated with carbonized transfer matter and wherein the label set is assembled with each such transfer surface in contact with an adjacent labels information surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
The label set of claim 2, wherein each carrying member is formed to a height that equals that of its associated label but with a width that extends past the width of its associated label to form an attaching edge for each carrying member, said fastening means securing said respective attaching edges together to form the label set.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The label set of claim 3, wherein said fastening means comprises at least one staple.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The label set of claim 2, wherein each label includes a bent over edge portion that is not secured by adhesive to said respective carrying member for said label to thus facilitate gripping of said label and removal of said label from its carrying member.
