Appl. No.:

09/474684

Inventors:

Peter Atkinson - Branford CT

Assignee:

Fellowes, Inc. - Itasca IL

International Classification:

B32B 3500

US Classification:

156391, 156538, 156556, 156580, 2063081, D6407

Abstract:

In accordance with the invention, a fixture is provided to receive a label to be applied to a truncated CD disc. The fixture includes a base having an oval-shaped well of a dimension approximately the shape of the label. The label, after printing indicia thereon, is placed adhesive side up in the well of the fixture. Since the well also approximates the shape of the CD disc, the disc may be placed in the well first, within the bounds of the well of the fixture, with its unwritten side facing up. The disc or label is then overlaid on the other manually in the well, and pressed in place, to adhere the label to the disc. A pair of oppositely disposed cutouts are provided in the fixture to enable the composite card and adhered label to be removed from the fixture by inserting the fingers beneath the laminate and lifting it up from the fixture.

Abstract:

According to the present invention, six die-cut CD-ROM labels are provided on a sheet in a vertical pattern with labels offset from a scored or perforated centerline of the other three. Each set of three is spaced from the outer edges of the sheet and by folding the sheet in half and removing a corner tab an adhesive edge of one of the labels is exposed which can be applied to a disk manually held on a printed outline of the disk on the back of the sheet, obviating the need for use of any applicator centering device, or holder for the disk, and/or label.

Abstract:

In accordance with the invention, a fixture is provided to receive a label to be applied to a CD disc. The fixture includes a base having a well of a dimension approximately the shape of the label and CD disc. The label, after printing indicia thereon, is placed adhesive side up in the well of the fixture. Since the well also approximates the shape of the CD disc, the disc may be placed in the well first, within the bounds of the well of the fixture, with its unwritten side facing up. The disc or label is then overlaid on the other manually in the well, and pressed in place, to adhere the label to the disc. A pair of oppositely disposed cutouts are provided in the fixture to enable the composite card and adhered label to be removed from the fixture by inserting the fingers beneath the laminate and lifting it up from the fixture. The sidewalls of the well are rotatable and opposed edges are straight and arcuate so as to present when oriented to the interior of the well, circular or truncated shape to the interior of the well to accommodate different shaped discs.

Abstract:

An anchor plate is arranged for cooperation with an underlying mounting plate to position a cabinet therebetween, wherein the anchor plate includes in a first embodiment a slide block mounted within a slot within the anchor plate, and the slide block hingedly mounting a mounting leg, including a flange for abutment with a forward surface of the cabinet for positioning the cabinet during a mounting procedure. A modification of the invention includes a generally serpentine securement leg slidably mounted within a channel defined by an anchor plate structure, wherein the securement leg includes a plurality of spaced abutments arranged in a parallel relationship to provide for positioning of the cabinet in communication with one of said abutments for positioning the cabinet during a mounting procedure. A modification of the securement leg includes abutment plunger rods reciprocatably mounted to at least one if not both of the abutment plates to enhance positioning and securement of the securement leg relative to the cabinet structure during mounting.
