Abstract

Abstract Removal of a window display sticker without partial or entire mutilation or distortion is facilitated in a business form display including a first sheet 30 of label stock having one side 32 coated with pressure sensitive adhesive 34, a second sheet 36 of release liner material having a size and shape corresponding to the first sheet 30 and with a coated surface 38 removably adhered to the adhesive 34 and an opposed surface 42 for receiving variable information to be displayed. Cuts 58, 60, 62, 64 in the sheet 36 near at least two opposed edges 50, 52, 54, 56 are provided so that parts of the sheet 36 between the opposed edges 50, 52, 54, 56 may be removed from adhesion to the first sheet 30 to expose adhesive 34 at at least two opposed edges 50, 52, 54, 56 in flanking relation to the surface 42 and any variable information that may be received thereon.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 248 words
A business form for use as a removable sticker wherein a variable information receiving section may be adhered to a transparent object and then easily removed therefrom without carrying residual adhesive, said business form comprising: a first sheet of label stock having one side coated with pressure sensitive adhesive; a second sheet of release liner material having a size and shape corresponding to said first sheet, a coated surface removable adhered to said adhesive, and an opposed surface remote from said adhesive for receiving variable information to be displayed through a transparent object; cuts in said second sheet near at least two opposed edges thereof so that parts of said second sheet between said opposed edges and said cuts may be removed from adhesion to said first sheet to expose adhesive at said two opposed edges in flanking relation to said opposed surface and variable information thereon, whereby said form may be adhered to a transparent object by said exposed adhesive and, when removed therefrom, the remainder of said second sheet may be peeled from said first sheet free of residual adhesive; said cuts being opposed parts of a peripheral cut in said second sheets, said peripheral cut in the edges of said second sheet defining a removable, one-piece continuous peripheral frame; and, an exposed grasping tab on one of said sheets; there being a plurality of said business forms in end-to-end abutment delineated from one another by lines of weakening to thereby define a continuous business form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 248 words
A business form for use as a removable sticker wherein a variable information receiving section may be adhered to a transparent object and then easily removed therefrom without carrying residual adhesive, said business form comprising: a first sheet of label stock having one side coated with pressure sensitive adhesive; a second sheet of release liner material having a size and shape corresponding to said first sheet, a coated surface removable adhered to said adhesive, and an opposed surface remote from said adhesive for receiving variable information to be displayed through a transparent object; cuts in said second sheet near at least two opposed edges thereof so that parts of said second sheet between said opposed edges and said cuts may be removed from adhesion to said first sheet to expose adhesive at said two opposed edges in flanking relation to said opposed surface and variable information thereon, whereby said form may be adhered to a transparent object by said exposed adhesive and, when removed therefrom, the remainder of said second sheet may be peeled from said first sheet free of residual adhesive; said cuts being opposed parts of a peripheral cut in said second sheets, said peripheral cut in the edges of said second sheet defining a removable, one-piece continuous peripheral frame; and, an exposed grasping tab on one of said sheets; there being a plurality of said business forms in end-to-end abutment delineated from one another by lines of weakening to thereby define a continuous business form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 104 words
A continuous business form comprising: a first elongated web of label stock having one side coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive; a second elongated web of a width on the same order as said first web and made of release liner material having a coated surface removably adhered to said one side and an opposite surface adapted to receive variable information; and cross lines of weakening in said webs defining individual form lengths; said individual form lengths having removable opposed marginal sections of said second web which may be removed to expose said adhesive in flanking relation to variable information on said opposite surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 104 words
A continuous business form comprising: a first elongated web of label stock having one side coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive; a second elongated web of a width on the same order as said first web and made of release liner material having a coated surface removably adhered to said one side and an opposite surface adapted to receive variable information; and cross lines of weakening in said webs defining individual form lengths; said individual form lengths having removable opposed marginal sections of said second web which may be removed to expose said adhesive in flanking relation to variable information on said opposite surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 46 words
The continuous business form of claim 2 wherein the second web of each form length includes a slit extending from one marginal edge to an adjacent marginal edge across at least one said section to define a removal tab to facilitate removal of said one section.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
The continuous business form of claim 2 wherein said marginal edges are defined by said lines of weakening.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The continuous business form of claim 2 wherein said marginal edges are the longitudinal edges of said webs.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
The continuous business form of claim 2 wherein said marginal edges are both the lines of weakening and the longitudinal edges of said webs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 25 words
The continuous business form of claim 6 wherein said sections make up a removable one piece frame about the periphery of each said form length.
