Abstract
An assembly of tubular sleeve markers formed by one or more top webs joined to a base web along transverse seams. The top webs are narrower in width than the base web. The base web has opposed marginal edge portions that extend beyond the top webs. Separable line means are formed in the base web in the marginal edge portions. The sleeve markers are individually detachable from the assembly.
Claims12
An assembly of individual tubular sleeve markers detachably joined together comprising, in combination:
- (1) a base web and a top web of flexible sheet material arranged in face-to-face relationship and having longitudinal axes disposed parallel to one another,
- the top web having first and second longitudinal edges spaced inwardly of first and second longitudinal edges of the base web, and the base web including a first marginal edge portion extending beyond the first longitudinal edge of the top web and a second marginal edge portion extending beyond the second longitudinal edge of the top web;
- (2) a plurality of spaced transverse seams joining the base web and the top web together at preselected intervals, the transverse seams being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the base and top webs,
- each adjacent pair of transverse seams defining opposed closed edge portions of an individual tubular sleeve marker;
- (3) first separable line means defined in the first marginal edge portion of the base web and second separable line means defined in the second marginal edge portion of the base web, the first and second separable line means each being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base web,
- the first separable line means and the first longitudinal edge of the top web defining a first open end of a sleeve marker, and the second separable line means and the second longitudinal edge of the top web defining a second open end of a sleeve marker;
- and
- (4) each individual tubular sleeve marker being detachable from the assembly along said transverse seams and said separable line means.

An assembly of two or more rows of individual tubular sleeve markers detachably joined together comprising, in combination:
- (1) a base web having spaced first and second marginal edge portions, and a plurality of top webs having longitudinal axes disposed parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base web,
- each top web having first and second longitudinal edges, the first marginal edge portion of the base web extending beyond the top web adjacent thereto and the second marginal edge portion of the base web extending beyond the top web adjacent thereto at an opposite edge of the assembly, each adjacent pair of top webs being spaced from one another with an exposed section of base web therebetween;
- (2) a plurality of spaced transverse seams joining the base web and the top webs together at preselected intervals, the transverse seams being arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the base and top webs,
- each adjacent pair of transverse seams defining opposed closed edge portions of an individual tubular sleeve marker;
- (3) first separable line means defined in the first marginal edge portion of the base web, second separable line means defined in the second marginal edge portion of the base web, and third separable line means defined in each exposed section of the base web between adjacent top webs,
- each individual sleeve marker having a first open end defined by a separable line means and a first longitudinal edge of a top web and a second open end defined by a separable line means and the second longitudinal edge of a top web;
- and
- (4) each individual tubular sleeve marker being detachable from the assembly along said transverse seams and adjacent pairs of said separable line means.
