Title: Tamperproof label
Inventor: MATSUGUCHI TADASHI
IPC: G09F3/02
Filed: 1985-09-30
Abstract: A tamperproof label or tag for preventing resticking comprises an adhesive layer 14, a second layer 16 laminated on one main surface of the adhesive layer, a peeling agent layer 18 laminated on the second layer and a first layer 20 laminated on the peeling agent layer by coating a resin, wherein the force required to separate the first layer from the second layer at the peeling agent layer is less than the adhesive power of the adhesive layer to a material being stuck. Since the second and first layers are adhered temporarily via the peeling agent layer in a state whereby resticking is impossible, the first layer once being separated from the second layer can not be restuck. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-855616-A (GB)
Abstract: 855,616. Indicating-apparatus. BENDIX CORPORATION, [formerly BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION]. Dec. 11, 1958 [Dec. 19, 1957], No. 40016/58. Class 106 (4). In an indicating instrument a transparent pointer 20 extends radially from a transparent cylinder 30 which extends forwardly through an opaque screen 22 and, with its bevelled surface 33, reflects light from a source 23 into the pointer 20 to illuminate it by reflection from the light diffusing rear surface of the pointer. Three bulbs 23 are disposed symmetrically in openings in a transparent plate 27 which is screened by a metal shield 22 so that light can only pass forwardly by reflection from its inner bevelled surface 34 for illuminating the pointer and from its outer bevelled surface 26 to illuminate the dial 19 after reflection from the bevelled surface 25 of the dial. A flange 28 shields stray peripheral rays from an observer. Central rays are screened by a cup 35 fastened to the instrument shaft and having its side walls slit to form tabs bent back to carry the pointer and its counterweight. White paint may be used to render surfaces light diffusing, including the graduation marks on the rear surface of the dial 19. If red filters are inserted round the bulbs 23 the pointer and dial marks will appear red in the dark and white in daylight. All the transparent parts may be of polymerized methyl methacrylate.
