Self-laminating rotating cable marker label with breakaway portion
First Claim
1. A self-laminating rotating cable marker label for identifying a cable, comprising:
- a transparent film having a first adhesive area;
said transparent film having an adhesive-free area adjacent said first adhesive area;
said transparent film having a second adhesive area adjacent said adhesive-free area, said second adhesive area of said transparent film adapted to at least partially overlie said adhesive-free area when said transparent film is wrapped over said cable;
said transparent film having a print-on area on one side of said transparent film, anda perforation extending across said transparent film, said perforation providing a line of separation of said transparent film between a first portion of said adhesive-free area and a second portion of said adhesive-free area, said second portion of said adhesive-free area opposite said print-on area, said perforation spaced apart from a juncture formed by said first adhesive area and said first portion of said adhesive-free area to permit said second portion of said adhesive-free area and said print-on area to rotate about said cable when said perforation is separated,wherein a width of said second portion of said adhesive-free area is greater than a width of said first adhesive area such that, when said transparent film is wrapped over said cable, lateral edges of said second portion of said adhesive-free area extend beyond respective lateral edges of said first adhesive area to minimize axial movement of said second portion of said adhesive-free area along said cable when said perforation is separated.

Abstract
A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.
