Abstract

An extended clear band strip is disclosed for attachment to a document to permit re-encoding of information on the extended clear band. The device incorporates an elongated rectangular backing member having a predetermined width and having a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive thereon; an elongated rectangular indicia receiving release paper member is secured in abutting contact with a release paper strip member. The strip member and the indicia receiving member, although constructed of release paper, incorporate surfaces that are receptive to encoding inks. The strip member may be removed to expose the pressure sensitive adhesive therebeneath and thus permit the attachment of the extended clear band along one of the longer edges of a document. The adhesively coated side of the backing member is formed of a contrasting color with respect to the indicia receiving member.

Claims

1. An extended clear band for facilitating the re-encoding of documents, said documents having a rectangular shape and having an encoding receiving clear band on one face extending along one of the longer edges thereof comprising:

(a) an elongated rectangular backing member of natural high density kraft paper having a predetermined width and having a coating of rubber base pressure sensitive adhesive on one side thereof for contacting and supporting a strip member and an indicia receiving member;

(b) an elongated rectangular indicia receiving release paper member having one of the longer edges thereof in contact with said pressure sensitive adhesive and extending along said backing member, and having a width less than said predetermined width, said longer edge adapted for abutting contact with said strip member and with said document;

(c) an elongated rectangular release paper strip member releaseably secured to said pressure sensitive adhesive on said backing member and having one of the longer edges thereof in abutment with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member, the other of the longer edges of said strip member being coterminous with one of the longer edges of said backing member, said strip member having a width less than said predetermined width;

(d) said indicia receiving member having a contrasting color with respect to the adhesive coated side of said backing member;

(e) said release paper strip member and said release paper indicia receiving member being formed from successive layers of encoding receiving litho paper, a barrier coating to prevent release compounds from being drawn into the encoding receiving paper, and a silicone polymer release layer;

whereby, said strip member may be removed to expose said pressure sensitive adhesive and permit the attachment of said extended clear band along the longer edge of said document adjacent said encoding and with said document edge in abutting contact with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member.

2. An extended clear band for facilitating the re-encoding of documents, said documents having a rectangular shape and having an encoding receiving clear band on one face extending along one of the longer edges thereof comprising:

(a) an elongated rectangular backing member having a predetermined width and having a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive on one side thereof for contacting and supporting a strip member and an indicia receiving member;

(b) an elongated rectangular indicia receiving release paper member having one of the longer edges thereof in contact with said pressure sensitive adhesive and extending along said backing member, and having a width less than said predetermined width, said longer edge adapted for abutting contact with said strip member and with said document;

(c) an elongated rectangular release paper strip member releaseably secured to said pressure sensitive adhesive on said backing member and having one of the longer edges thereof in abutment with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member, said strip member having a width less than said predetermined width; and

(d) said release paper strip member and said release paper indicia receiving member formed from successive layers of encoding receiving litho paper, a barrier coating to prevent release compounds from being drawn into the encoding receiving paper, and a silicone polymer release layer;

whereby, said strip member may be removed to expose said pressure sensitive adhesive and permit the attachment of said extended clear band along the longer edge of said document adjacent said encoding and with said document edge in abutting contact with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member.

3. An extended clear band for facilitating the re-encoding of documents, said documents having a rectangular shape and having an encoding receiving clear band on one face extending along one of the longer edges thereof comprising:

(a) an elongated rectangular backing member having a predetermined width and having a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive on one side thereof for contacting and supporting a strip member and an indicia receiving member;

(b) an elongated rectangular indicia receiving release paper member having one of the longer edges thereof in contact with said pressure sensitive adhesive and extending along said backing member, and having a width less than said predetermined width, said longer edge adapted for abutting contact with said strip member and with said document;

(c) an elongated rectangular release paper strip member releaseably secured to said pressure sensitive adhesive on said backing member and having one of the longer edges thereof in abutment with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member, said strip member having a width less than said predetermined width;

(d) said release paper strip member and said release paper indicia receiving member formed from successive layers of encoding receiving litho papers, a barrier coating to prevent release compounds from being drawn into the encoding receiving paper, and a silicone polymer release layer; and

(e) said indicia receiving member having a contrasting color with respect to the adhesive coated side of said backing member;

whereby, said strip member may be removed to expose said pressure sensitive adhesive and permit the attachment of said extended clear band along the longer edge of said document adjacent said encoding and with said document edge in abutting contact with said one of the longer edges of said indicia receiving member.
