Removable linerless label zigzag and shingled constructions
First Claim
1. A roll of labels for use with containers, each label comprising:
- a substrate having first and second faces and first and second edges;
indicia printed on said first face;
a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face of said substrate;
a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge on said first face or said second face, respectively, of said substrate, and an adhesive receiving area disposed adjacent said second edge on said second face or said first face, respectively of said substrate, so as to form a cooperating mating surface for said pattern of permanent adhesive; and
a permanent adhesive release coat covering at least a portion of said other face aside from said adhesive receiving area;
said labels being in shingled overlapped configuration in said roll with said pattern of permanent adhesive of each label, except the first and the last labels, in the roll in shingled overlapped engagement with the permanent adhesive release coat of an adhesive label, and the permanent adhesive release coat in shingled, overlapped engagement with the permanent adhesive of an adjacent label.

Abstract
Easily removable labels, which are still permanently placed except when it is desired to remove them, are associated with bottles, cans, or like containers. Two different configurations of the labels are provided. In the first configuration a roll of labels is provided with permanent adhesive strips along the edge of each label being in shingled overlapped engagement with the permanent adhesive release coat of an adjacent label. In a second construction a pad of labels is provided with two different types of labels, each type having spaced strips of permanent adhesive along one edge of each of the top and bottom faces, which are staggered with respect to like strips along the edges of the second type of labels in the pad, the types of labels alternating in the pad, and permanent adhesive release coat material being provided in the spaces between the strips of material.

18. A label for use with a container, comprising:
-
a substrate having first and second faces and first and second edges; indicia printed on said first face; a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face of said substrate; a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge of said first face, comprising a plurality of strips of permanent adhesive elongated in the dimension between said first and second edges only extending less than half of the distance between said first and second edges, and spaced from each other in a dimension transverse to the distance between said first and second edges; a permanent adhesive release material covering said first face except at said permanent adhesive pattern; and a cooperating pattern disposed on said second face adjacent said second edge, said cooperating pattern having spaced strips aligned with the spaced strips on said first face when said label is wrapped around a container portion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A container and label combination comprising:
-
a container having an exterior surface having a circumference; a label substrate having first and second faces in a generally quadrate configuration, and first and second opposite edges, said first and second edges spaced from each other a distance greater than said container circumference, said substrate wrapped around said container exterior surface with said first and second edges overlapping each other; indicia printed on said first face; a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face of said substrate; a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge of said first face, comprising a plurality of strips of permanent adhesive elongated in the dimension between said first and second edges only extending less than half of the distance between said first and second edges, and spaced from each other in a dimension transverse to the distance between said first and second edges; a permanent adhesive release material covering said first face except at said permanent adhesive pattern; and a cooperating pattern disposed on said second face adjacent said second edge, said cooperating pattern having spaced strips aligned with the spaced strips on said first face when said label is wrapped around a container portion.
