A specifically sized transferable indicia sheet has reference marks, which are also transferable guide marks, underlaid on a substantially transparent carrier sheet and arranged in a plurality of horizontal rows. Such guide marks are transferable to a correspondingly sized receiving surface by aligning left, right and top edges of the carrier sheet with corresponding edges of the receiving surface and rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over the guide marks. The area of the carrier sheet from which the guide marks have been removed is clear in contrast to the surrounding carrier sheet portions which have a frosted appearance. The clear areas of the indicia sheet formed by transfer of the guide marks to the receiving surface constitute reference marks. Opaque indicia, including letters, carried by the carrier sheet in rows bear a predetermined relationship to the reference and transferable guide marks on the carrier sheet along horizontal rows and can be transferred to the receiving surface by rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over selected indicia when a reference line on the carrier sheet is held in registration with a guide line transferred to the receiving surface, so as to place indicia on the receiving surface in a desired relationship to the horizontal lines and vertical margin marks transferred to the receiving surface.
In a transparent carrier sheet carrying a plurality of rows of underlaid indicia transferable to a receiving surface by rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over the indicia to be transferred, the improvement comprising such indicia including at least one descending lower case letter, and reference marks and underlaid transferable guide marks carried by the carrier sheet, said guide marks being transferable to a receiving surface by rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over said guide marks, said reference marks and transferable guide marks being arranged on the carrier sheet along a plurality of horizontal lines, each line including both reference marks and transferable guide marks, each line being located the same distance below the row of indicia next above it as another line is located below the row of indicia next above such other line, and the line next below the row of indicia containing a descending lower case letter being below the downwardly projecting portion of such descending lower case letter.
The method of placing indicia on a receiving surface from a transparent carrier sheet carrying transferable underlaid indicia and transferable underlaid guide marks, which comprises placing the carrier sheet in overlying relationship to the receiving surface, locating guide marks on the carrier sheet in desired locations with reference to the receiving surface, rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over such guide marks for transferring such guide marks to the receiving surface, shifting the carrier sheet to place in registration with the transferred guide marks reference marks on the carrier sheet related to selected indicia desired to be transferred to the receiving surface, and, while such reference marks are held in registration with the guide marks transferred to the receiving surface, rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over such selected indicia to transfer such selected indicia to the receiving surface.
In a receiving surface for receiving a plurality of rows of indicia transferred from a transparent carrier sheet by rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over the indicia to be transferred, the improvement comprising the receiving surface bearing guide marks transferred from the carrier sheet by rubbing the exposed surface of the carrier sheet over said guide marks, said guide marks being arranged on the receiving surface along a horizontal line.
The combination comprising a panel having a receiving surface, and a transparent carrier sheet carrying a plurality of rows of underlaid indicia transferable to said receiving surface by rubbing the exposed surface of said carrier sheet over the indicia to be transferred and further carrying reference marks arranged along a plurality of horizontal lines, each line being located the same distance below the row of indicia next above it as another line is located below the row of indicia next above such other line, said receiving surface having thereon a plurality of horizontal lines of guide marks transferred from said carrier sheet by the exposed surface of the carrier sheet having been rubbed over guide marks underlaid on said carrier sheet, and said lines of guide marks on said receiving surface being spaced apart vertically the same distance as the vertical spacing of the lines of reference marks carried by said carrier sheet.
