Patent ID: 8263201

Claim:
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, and a 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.
