The present invention configures an image removing device capable of certainly and cleanly removing an image comprising an image forming substance and formed on the surface of a plastic recording material. An image removing device is provided with a means 2 for applying an ultraviolet curable resin and a means 4 for emitting ultraviolet light above a conveyance path for a recording material 1 on the surface of which an image is formed, and removes the image from the surface of the recording material 1 by transferring an image forming substance 1a to the ultraviolet curable resin and attaching the image forming substance, together with the ultraviolet curable resin, to the surface of a release body 5 by irradiating the ultraviolet light.

A frangible laminate includes first, second and third webs, and the second web is positioned between the first and third webs. The forming of the frangible laminate includes adhesively bonding a first plurality of sections of the second web to the first web, applying release material in order to inhibit at least some of any bonding between the first plurality of sections of the second web and the third web, and adhesively bonding a second plurality of sections of the second web to the third web. The frangible laminate is separated into a first laminate and a second laminate, so that the first laminate includes the first web and the first plurality of sections of the second web, and the second laminate includes the third web and the second plurality of sections of the second web.

A labeling device, comprising a scale control assembly (11) and a stripping assembly (12), the scale control assembly (11) being configured to obtain a material strip (10) and to lead out a predetermined length of the material strip (10); the stripping assembly (12) being configured to grasp a target label (101) on the material strip (10) led out by the scale control assembly (11) and to affix the target label (101) to a product (D) to be labeled at a pre-set position so as to obtain a labeled product. Said device controls, by means of the scale control assembly, the length of the material strip that is led out at each time when labeling the product to be labeled, so as to improve the precision of the stripping assembly grasping the label and affixing the label to the product to be labeled.

A label including a base material with at least one adhesive region and a cover material, a label tape and a method for manufacturing labels are disclosed. The method includes providing a base material web and applying at least one adhesive to the base material web along at least one row by means of at least one applicator. The adhesive is applied to the base material web intermittently along the row so that the row comprises a plurality of individual adhesive regions spaced apart from one another by adhesive-free regions. The method also includes applying a cover material to at least some regions of the base material web so that a plurality of the applied adhesive regions are completely covered by the cover material, and at least partially separating the base material web and/or the cover material exclusively along adhesive-free regions by means of at least one separating device.

A stand-alone apparatus for cutting a web of media or tag stock into individual units for use downstream of a printer. The apparatus may cut vinyl, plastic, or RFID stock material in both back and forth directions. The apparatus comprises a housing, a carriage assembly and a movable cutter assembly. The cutter assembly is easily interchangeable and comprises a cutting element such as a wheel blade, and a pressure adjusting element for adjusting the amount of pressure applied by the cutting element to the stock material. Alternatively, the cutter assembly may be manufactured with a predetermined pressure load, but still permit an operator to adjust the depth of cut. The apparatus may be powered by and or in hardline or wireless communication with a printer, or may further comprise a computer microprocessor, memory and user interface to function wholly independent from a printer.

Devices, methods and systems disclosed herein relate to the application of a protective film on a surface of an electronic device that instantly reduces air bubbles and eliminates the waiting time usually required when using a wet fluid solution. In one embodiment, a roller device may include a carriage or housing and one or more rollers coupled or integrated with the housing, configured to apply a protective material to a surface of the electronic device in a first orientation, and configured to function as a device stand in a second orientation. In addition or alternatively, a roller guide apparatus and/or a wedge may be utilized to assist the roller device in applying the protective material to the surface of the electronic device.

A surfacing material includes a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an electron beam radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic laid upon the substrate. The epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is irradiated with UV-radiation to produce a UV-radiation layer wherein the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is neither hardened nor is an entire layer of the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic crosslinked but rather the epoxy acrylic or urethane acrylic is only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

A film transfer tool has a case main body, a supply bobbin drive shaft driving a supply bobbin holding an unused transfer tape therearound, a take-up bobbin drive shaft driving a take-up bobbin taking up a used portion of the transfer tape therearound, a rotational coupling mechanism coupling the supply bobbin drive shaft and the take-up bobbin drive shaft together rotationally, and a reverse rotation preventive mechanism preventing a reverse rotation of the rotational coupling mechanism. The reverse rotation preventive mechanism has a rolling gear coupled to a rotational system made up of the supply bobbin drive shaft, the take-up bobbin drive shaft and the rotational coupling mechanism, moving gears moving over a predetermined range around the rolling gear and meshing with the rolling gear, and locking projections disposed to confront a reverse rotating direction of the rolling gear to lock the moving gears.

A radio frequency (RF) antenna containing element is provided. The RF antenna containing element includes a reinforced metal foil laminate antenna bonded to a carrier layer. The reinforced metal foil laminate antenna includes a metal foil layer bonded to a reinforcement layer. The reinforcement layer can mitigate tearing of the metal foil layer during formation of the antenna.

A winding device includes: a separation unit that separates sheets layered and simultaneously transported; a winding unit that winds one of the sheets separated by the separation unit; and a pressure contact unit that presses the one of the sheets wound by the winding unit from outside of the wound sheet toward the winding unit.
