Abstract

Abstract Multilayer adhesive label which is shrinkable on a circumferential surface of a body, particularly of a dry-cell battery, including a carrier layer for an outwardly visible imprint which is covered with a transparent protective layer, whose outermost layer is formed by means of an at least axially stretched, transparent laminated foil of shrinkable plastics material. The carrier layer may have at least one cut in the vicinity of its edge extending along the generating line of the circumferential surface of the body.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 166 words
Multilayer adhesive label adhering to a circumferential surface of a dry-cell battery body, the body having an axis and top and bottom end faces, wherein the label comprises: (a) a bottom layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, the bottom side of the bottom layer covered with a vapor deposited layer of a metal, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the vapor deposited layer adhering to the circumferential surface, and an imprint on the top side of the bottom layer, (b) a top layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the top layer adhering to the top side of the bottom layer and the imprint, wherein the label defines edge portions which extend axially beyond the end faces of the body, the edge portions being shrunk onto the end faces and the adhesive layer on the bottom of the bottom layer adhering to the end faces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 166 words
Multilayer adhesive label adhering to a circumferential surface of a dry-cell battery body, the body having an axis and top and bottom end faces, wherein the label comprises: (a) a bottom layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, the bottom side of the bottom layer covered with a vapor deposited layer of a metal, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the vapor deposited layer adhering to the circumferential surface, and an imprint on the top side of the bottom layer, (b) a top layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the top layer adhering to the top side of the bottom layer and the imprint, wherein the label defines edge portions which extend axially beyond the end faces of the body, the edge portions being shrunk onto the end faces and the adhesive layer on the bottom of the bottom layer adhering to the end faces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 164 words
Multilayer adhesive label adhering to a circumferential surface of a dry-cell battery body, the body having an axis and top and bottom end faces, wherein the label comprises: (a) a bottom layer of a foil, the bottom side of the bottom layer covered with a vapor deposited layer of metal, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the vapor deposited layer adhering to the circumferential surface, and an imprint on the top side of the bottom layer, (b) a top layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the top layer adhering to the top side of the bottom layer and the imprint, wherein the top layer has edge portions which project in axial direction of the circumferential surface beyond both sides of the bottom layer, said edge portions being shrunk onto the end faces and the adhesive layer on the bottom of the bottom layer adhering to the end faces.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 164 words
Multilayer adhesive label adhering to a circumferential surface of a dry-cell battery body, the body having an axis and top and bottom end faces, wherein the label comprises: (a) a bottom layer of a foil, the bottom side of the bottom layer covered with a vapor deposited layer of metal, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the vapor deposited layer adhering to the circumferential surface, and an imprint on the top side of the bottom layer, (b) a top layer of a stretchable foil stretched in circumferential direction of the body, an adhesive layer on the bottom side of the top layer adhering to the top side of the bottom layer and the imprint, wherein the top layer has edge portions which project in axial direction of the circumferential surface beyond both sides of the bottom layer, said edge portions being shrunk onto the end faces and the adhesive layer on the bottom of the bottom layer adhering to the end faces.
