Method Of Forming Heat Activated Transfer For Improved Adhesion And Reduced Bleedthrough
View pageUS Patent:
20010036536, Nov 1, 2001
Filed:
Oct 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/431720
Inventors:
JOHN MAHN - CINCINNATI OH, US
JOHN MAHN - HAMILTON OH, US
JOHN MAHN - HAMILTON OH, US
International Classification:
B32B003/00
B32B027/14
B32B027/14
US Classification:
428/195000, 428/212000, 428/411100, 156/309900
Abstract:
A laminate suitable for formation of athletic lettering and other decoratives which has improved adhesion and reduced curling is formed by forming a laminate from a pigmented polyurethane and a polyester adhesive layer. Either the individual lamina prior to lamination, or the formed laminate are annealed for 1 to 100 hours at a temperature from 100 to 250 F. to relieve stress and prevent curling. Preferably, the polyurethane layer does not include any external lubricants and has a high durometer which, in turn, permits formation of letters on letters without bleedthrough and with improved adhesion.
Decorated Thermoplastic Articles
View pageUS Patent:
60133511, Jan 11, 2000
Filed:
Jan 10, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/781406
Inventors:
John Mahn - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
B32B 900
US Classification:
428195
Abstract:
Thermoplastic articles such as splash guards, in particular polyethylene splash guards, are decorated using a heat-activated decorative which includes a layer of a compatible thermoplastic adhesive which bonds an intermediate support sheet to the surface of the article. An indicia layer is then bonded to the support sheet. The support sheet is either a nonwoven web, a metal film, or a metalized cloth. The indicia layer can be an outer reflective or polymeric film bonded to the polyester nonwoven web using a compatible adhesive such as a linear alkyl polyester. If the support sheet is a metal film or metalized cloth, it can provide the indicia without a separate layer. However, a clear protective film may be required. This material remains tightly adhered to the surface of the article, even splash guards subjected to road conditions.
Laminated Material And Method Of Forming
View pageUS Patent:
44231067, Dec 27, 1983
Filed:
Apr 23, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/371202
Inventors:
John E. Mahn - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
B32B 300
B32B 702
B29C 1900
B32B 702
B29C 1900
US Classification:
428207
Abstract:
A laminated material is formed of a layer of polyurethane or polyether and a layer of extruded polyester. The polyester adhesive layer, which may contain five to fifteen percent by weight of polyurethane homogeneously mixed therein, is bonded to the layer of polyurethane or polyether under pressure at a sufficiently high temperature to permit an even viscous molecular flow between adjacent surfaces of the layers. When the layer is polyurethane, the temperature is above the softening point of polyurethane so that it is high enough to remove at least enough of the toluene solvent from the layer of polyurethane so that curling is prevented. When the laminated material is applied to a material with sufficient pressure and heated sufficiently that the layer of polyester becomes adhesive, the laminated material adheres to the material against which the layer of polyester is pressed. Thus, the laminated material has particular utility as a letter, numeral, or design for a sport uniform or wearing apparel, for example, of any material.
Heat Activated Transfers With Machine Readable Indicia
View pageUS Patent:
54138418, May 9, 1995
Filed:
Nov 8, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/149006
Inventors:
John E. Mahn - Hamilton OH
John E. Mahn - Cincinnati OH
John E. Mahn - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
B32B 300
US Classification:
428195
Abstract:
A heat activated transfer is formed having a lower thermoplastic or thermoactive adhesive layer, an upper transparent thermoset layer and indicia. The indicia is formed from sublimation dye or diffusion dye which is heat transferred into the thermoset material, preferably as the heat activated transfer is being applied to a cloth substrate. This permits printing and application of individual unique indicia on each individual heat activated transfer at a very low cost. Due to the extreme clarity of the formed product as well as the ease by which different unique indicia can be provided with each heat activated transfer, this method and product is uniquely suitable for use in preparing coated machine-readable indicia such as bar codes. This permits inventory control for cloth items such as hospital garments, linen and the like. It also permits uniforms and the like to be marked with the individual user's name at a relatively low cost.
Reflective Heat Activated Transfer
View pageUS Patent:
58691685, Feb 9, 1999
Filed:
Jan 10, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/781481
Inventors:
John Mahn - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
B32B 900
US Classification:
428195
Abstract:
A reflective transfer includes a lower adhesive layer, an upper clear layer, and an intermediate reflective layer such as a metal foil. Indicia is imprinted on the transfer using a sublimation dye which is transferred into the upper clear layer. This provides a transfer which retains its reflective characteristic while at the same time includes printed indicia.
Heat Activated Transfer For Elastomeric Materials

53646886, Nov 15, 1994
Filed:
Sep 20, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/123570

B32B 2700
US Classification:
428187
Abstract:
A heat activated transfer which is particularly suitable for marking elastomeric articles comprises a lower elastomeric layer bonded to an upper polyester layer. The upper polyester layer in turn carries indicia which is a sublimation dye heat transferred into the polyester layer. The polyester is preferably a high temperature saturated polyester resin, preferably polyethylene terephthalate. The lower layer is preferably a thermoplastic elastomeric layer. The two layers are bonded together by a thermoplastic adhesive, preferably a polyester.
Method Of Marking Elastomeric Articles With Bar Codes And Article Therefore

62249584, May 1, 2001
Filed:
Apr 22, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/064339
Inventors:
John Mahn - Cleves OH
Assignee:
Specialty Adhesive Film Co. - Cleves OH
International Classification:
B32B 2500
B60C 1300
B60C 1300
US Classification:
428 401
Abstract:
A label or transfer adapted to mark an elastomeric article includes a cured elastomeric sheet which is overcoated with a heat resistant polymer preferably a thermoset polyurethane. Indicia is then applied to this heat resistant polymer layer using a thermal transfer printer. The indicia is then overcoated with a second protective layer preferably a clear thermoset polyurethane. The backside of the cured elastomeric film is applied to a surface of the elastomeric article which is being marked. The elastomeric article is then subjected to a cure cycle bonding the elastomeric sheet to the surface of the elastomeric article and permanently marking the article with the indicia. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia is a bar code.
Method Of Applying Heat Activated Transfer
View pageUS Patent:
47863498, Nov 22, 1988
Filed:
Apr 23, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/041866
Inventors:
John E. Mahn - Cincinnati OH
International Classification:
B32B 3100
B44C 117
B65C 925
B44C 117
B65C 925
US Classification:
156234
Abstract:
The present invention is a method of applying a heat activated transfer to a cloth substrate. The transfer includes a thermoplastic adhesive layer and printed thereon a thermoset ink layer. The thermoset ink layer is discontinuous leaving exposed areas of thermoplastic material. The transfer is applied by setting the thermoplastic layer against a substrate, such as a cloth shirt, placing a piece of blotting paper or other absorbent material above the transfer in contact with the thermoset layer and applying heat and pressure forcing the thermoplastic material to melt. The thermoplastic material which contacts the blotting material is absorbed by the blotting paper whereas the thermoplastic material covered with the thermoset ink absorbs into the substrate bonding the thermoset ink to the substrate providing an emblem or the like. The invention also includes the article itself which is a heat activated transfer including a continuous thermoplastic layer and a discontinuous thermoset layer leaving voids in between the portions of the thermoset material.
