Title: Carriers for use with laminator pouches
Inventor: SIMPSON PHILIP ALEXANDER
IPC: B32B37/14
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: A carrier (1) is provided, adapted for use with a pouch (10) for a laminator, wherein the carrier comprises a layer of material (2) which is sufficiently rigid to provide a support for at least a part of the pouch to prevent bending of the part of the pouch. In use, the carrier and pouch are inserted together into a laminator, and pass between rollers of the laminator. As the carrier provides a support for at least a part of the pouch, when the carrier and the pouch are passed between the rollers, the carrier prevents the part of the pouch from bending and thus from wrapping around at least one of the rollers, which otherwise might cause the laminator to jam. As the carrier comprises one layer of material, when the carrier and the pouch are passed between heated rollers of the laminator, heat is directly transferred from one of the rollers to the pouch. This has advantages in the ease of lamination of an item (15) within the pouch. The pouch (10) may comprise A4 size sheets (11,12).
