International Classification:

B44C 116
B32B 706
B32B 2708

US Classification:

156239

Abstract:

A composition for use in forming an adhesive layer and a heat-transfer label including such an adhesive layer. In one embodiment, the label is designed for use on silane-treated glass containers of the type that are subjected to pasteurization conditions. The label includes a support portion and a transfer portion, the transfer portion being positioned over the support portion. The support portion includes a sheet of paper overcoated with a release layer of polyethylene. The transfer portion includes an organic solvent-soluble phenoxy protective lacquer layer, an organic solvent-soluble polyester ink layer over the protective lacquer layer, and an acrylic adhesive layer over the ink layer. The adhesive layer is formed by depositing onto the ink layer, e. g. , by gravure printing, a composition comprising a water-based acrylic resin dispersion or emulsion, isopropyl alcohol and water, and then evaporating the volatile components of the composition to leave an acrylic film.

US Classification:

428355R

Abstract:

A heat-transfer label well-suited for use in decorating silane-treated glass articles. In a preferred embodiment, the label exhibits good scuff resistance, is capable of withstanding pasteurization conditions on a silane-treated glass article and includes (a) a support portion in the form of a sheet of paper overcoated with a release layer of polyethylene, (b) a skim coat of wax overcoated onto the polyethylene release layer and (c) a transfer portion, the transfer portion including a cross-linked phenoxy protective lacquer layer printed onto the skim coat, a polyester ink layer printed onto the protective lacquer layer, and an adhesive layer printed onto the ink layer, as well as onto any exposed portions of the underlying protective lacquer layer and onto a surrounding area of the skim coat. The cross-linked phenoxy resin comprises a solvent-soluble phenoxy resin of the formula ##STR1## wherein the solvent-soluble phenoxy resin is cross-linked by a melamine formaldehyde resin. The adhesive layer comprises a phenoxy resin of the type present in a water-based phenoxy resin dispersion.

Appl. No.:

9/017003

Inventors:

James G. Nugent - Lincoln MA

International Classification:

F16H 5517

US Classification:

74437

Abstract:

A variable gear assembly has a cam gear with a plurality of teeth of varying size and configuration, and a rotatably mounted roller gear has a plurality of rollers for meshing engagement with the teeth. The distance of each roller from the rotation axis and the angles between adjacent rollers are predetermined such that, at any time during a rotation cycle, two rollers engage at least one currently active tooth. The assembly provides a variable gear ratio.

Abstract:

A heat-transfer label suitable for use in decorating polyethylene-coated glass articles. In a preferred embodiment, the label is capable of withstanding pasteurization conditions on a polyethylene-coated glass article and includes (a) a support portion in the form of a sheet of paper overcoated with a release layer of polyethylene, (b) a skim coat of wax overcoated onto the polyethylene release layer and (c) a transfer portion, the transfer portion including a cross-linked phenoxy protective lacquer layer printed onto the skim coat, a polyester ink layer printed onto the protective lacquer layer, a first adhesive layer printed onto the ink layer and onto any exposed portions of the underlying protective lacquer layer, and a second adhesive layer printed onto the first adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer preferably comprises an acrylic adhesive resin of the type present in a water-based adhesive dispersion or in a water-based adhesive emulsion and also comprises a surfactant in the form of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate. The second adhesive layer preferably comprises a chlorinated polyolefin of the type present in a water-based chlorinated polyolefin dispersion, such a dispersion having a pH at 25. degree. C.
