Abstract

Abstract A photo and pressure sensitive recording medium comprising a base sheet, supporting thereon a color developing agent which reacts with a dye precursor to develop color and an adhesive substance with which the recording medium may be adhered to any suitable material or body. The color developing agent may be coated on one surface of the base sheet and adhesive is applied on the other surface of the base sheet. The adhesive substance may be of thermoplastic type or enveloped in microcapsules crushable under pressure. A peel-off sheet may be conted on the adhesive substance. Alternatively, the color developing agent and the adhesive substance may both be supported on one surface of the base sheet, as well as photo-curable microcapsules containing the dye precursor. The adhesive substance may also be enveloped in microcapsules which are ruptured under pressure to flow out the contained adhesive, with which the recording medium is bonded to a general-purpose sheet such as ordinary paper to provide a one-body recorded sheet.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 73 words
A photo and pressure sensitive recording medium comprising a sheet shaped supporting member, a first component which reacts with a second component to develop an image from a latent image in response to pressure, said latent image having been formed in response to light, and an adhesive substance for binding said supporting member to a sheet of material, said first component and said adhesive substance being supported on said sheet shaped supporting member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 73 words
A photo and pressure sensitive recording medium comprising a sheet shaped supporting member, a first component which reacts with a second component to develop an image from a latent image in response to pressure, said latent image having been formed in response to light, and an adhesive substance for binding said supporting member to a sheet of material, said first component and said adhesive substance being supported on said sheet shaped supporting member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 96 words
A photo and pressure sensitive recording medium comprising a sheet shaped supporting member; a first layer formed on one surface of said supporting member and including a first component of a developing agent reactable with a second component of the developing agent to develop an image form a latent image in response to pressure, said latent image having been formed on said first layer in response to light; and a second layer formed on the other surface of said supporting member and including an adhesive agent for binding said supporting member to a sheet of material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 96 words
A photo and pressure sensitive recording medium comprising a sheet shaped supporting member; a first layer formed on one surface of said supporting member and including a first component of a developing agent reactable with a second component of the developing agent to develop an image form a latent image in response to pressure, said latent image having been formed on said first layer in response to light; and a second layer formed on the other surface of said supporting member and including an adhesive agent for binding said supporting member to a sheet of material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 43 words
The recording medium according to claim 2 wherein said first component comprises a color developing agent, and said second component comprises a dye precursor encapsulated in microcapsules, said color developing agent reacting with said dye precursor flown out of said microcapsules when ruptured.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
The recording medium according to claim 2 wherein said first layer includes said second component as well as said first component.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 27 words
The recording medium according to claim 2 wherein said second component is provided on a separate sheet material adapted to contact under pressure with said first layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
