Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A self-laminating cable marker system comprising: a substrate; at least one cable marker at least partially adhered to the substrate wherein the cable marker has a first transparent portion, a second non-transparent portion next to the first portion and a third transparent portion having adhesive such that an underside of the third portion can adhere to a top side of the second portion when the self-laminating cable marker is wrapped around a cable, wherein the first portion is separable from the second portion via a performation.
