## Abstract

A credit-card-adhering transaction record for use with credit cards and an imprinting device having a defined region for receiving a card on a support surface, and a pressure platen manipulatable relative to the surface. The transaction record includes a plural-detachable-sheet recording booklet including a customer-return sheet. A stretch of the customer-return sheet is directly placeable on the support surface so that it has an expanse extending over a portion of a card received in the defined region of the support surface. An exposable pressure-responsive adhesive film distributed over the expanse of the sheet-captures and releasably retains the credit card following an imprinting operation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

In combination a transaction record including a card having print-impartible characters, and an imprinting device having a support surface with a defined region for receiving such a card, and a pressure platen cooperative with such surface and manipulatable relative thereto to effect an imprinting operation, said record being imprintable and, comprising
a recording sheet placeable on said surface, said sheet having a defined expanse disposed to extend, when said sheet is placed on said surface, over at least a portion of a card received by such defined region, and
pressure-responsive adhesive means distributed over the expanse face placeable adjacent said card for capturing and releasably retaining with said sheet said card following an imprinting operation.

### Claim 2

In combination a transaction record including a card having print-impartible characters, and an imprinting device having a support surface with a defined region for receiving such a card, and a pressure platen cooperative with said surface and manipulatable relative thereto to effect an imprinting operation, said record being imprintable and, comprising
a plural-detachable-sheet recording booklet including one sheet having a stretch directly placeable on said surface, said stretch having a defined expanse disposed to extend, when said sheet is placed on said surface, over at least a portion of a card received by said defined region, and
pressure-responsive adhesive means distributed over the expanse face placeable adjacent said card for capturing and releasably retaining with said one sheet said card following an imprinting operation.

### Claim 3

In combination a transaction record including a card having print-impartible characters, and an imprinting device having a support surface with a defined region for receiving said card, and a pressure platen cooperative with such surface and manipulatable relative thereto to effect an imprinting operation, said record being imprintable and comprising
a recording sheet placeable on said surface, said sheet having a defined expanse disposed to extend, when said sheet is placed on said surface, over at least a portion of a card received by such defined region, and
pressure-responsive exposably covered adhesive means distributed over the expanse face placeable adjacent said card and exposable for capturing and releasably retaining with said sheet such a card following an imprinting operation.

### Claim 4

In combination a transaction record including a card having print-impartible characters, and an imprinting device having a support surface with a defined region for receiving said card, and a pressure platen cooperative with said surface and manipulatable relative thereto to effect an imprinting operation, said record being imprintable and, comprising
a plural-detachable-sheet recording booklet including one sheet having a stretch directly placeable on said surface, said stretch having a defined expanse disposed to extend, when said sheet is placed on said surface, over at least a portion of a card received by such defined region, and
pressure-responsive exposably covered adhesive means distributed over the expanse face placeable adjacent said card and exposable for capturing and releasably retaining with said one sheet said card following an imprinting operation.

### Claim 5

In combination a transaction record including a credit card having print-impartible characters, and an imprinting device having a support surface, with a defined region for receiving said card, and a pressure platen cooperative with said surface and manipulatable relative thereto to effect an imprinting operation, said record being imprintable and, comprising
a plural-detachable-sheet recording booklet including a customer-return sheet having a stretch directly placeable on said surface, said stretch having a defined expanse disposed to extend, when said sheet is placed on said surface, over at least a portion of a credit card received by said defined region, and
pressure-responsive adhesive means distributed over the expanse face placeable adjacent said card for capturing and releasably retaining with said customer-return sheet said card following an imprinting operation.
