- this type of mount normally has a transparent, plastic backing member which, through age and usage, becomes scratched or disclosed, the amount of light transmission through this backing sheet diminishes drastically when the mounting member is placed on an X-ray viewing apparatus.
- the herein disclosed invention obviates this shortcoming.
- the apertures being smaller than the X-ray films or segments provide a border area for mounting the individual films on the adhesive.
- the second sheet is properly aligned with the jig pins and placed ontop of the bottom sheet to which has been affixed the X-ray films. It is then necessary to apply pressure throughout the extent of the top surface of the second sheet so as to form the completed or fabricated chart.
- the chart upon removal from the mounting jig, is then ready for use or placement in the patients file. It is apparent that the herein described invention overcomes the necessity of using other apparatuses for fabricating charts of this nature and provides a quick and economical method of making dental, medical and industrial X-ray charts and the like.
- a viewing carrier for mounting photographs, X-ray films and the like which carrier or mount comprises an assemblage of a first or top and a second or bottom sheet wherein the bottom sheet is coated with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the top sheet preferably is of the type which is easily removed from the adhesive layer and each of the sheets of the assemblage, in the preferred form, have removable preforated or cut segments.
- the preforated or cut-out segments are congruently formed in each of the sheets with the exception that the segments of the bottom sheet are smaller so that when both of the congruently spaced segments, of the two sheets, are punched out or removed, there is provided a border-like area or framed mounting area of exposed adhesive for receiving the photographs, X-ray films or the like.
- a method of fabricating the mounting member or viewing carrier comprises a two step accurately controlled die-cutting process so as to obtain congruency of the segments and accuracy in the depth of cutting or perforation so as to be able to obtain the desired end result.
- FIG. 1 depicts one of the embodiments of the invention as it specifically applies to dental charts and the like;
- FIG. 2 depicts another embodiment of the invention as it might apply to an application for a photo album
- FIG. 3 is a cross-section taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1 in greatly enlarged and exaggerated form.
- FIG. 5 illustrates one of the die-cutting operations used in manufacturing the invention depicted in FIG. l.
- the chart or carrier 2 comprises an assemblage of a rst sheet 4 and a second sheet 6, the sheet 4 being the uppermost one.
- layer of adhesive 8 Disposed between the sheets 4 and 6 is layer of adhesive 8 which may be any of the commercially available pressure-sensitive types.
- the type of pressure-sensitive adhesive contemplated may be the type to which paper in the treated or untreated form is easily removable therefrom without tearing or destroying the paper surface.
- the adhesive layer 8 is preferably applied to the surface of the sheet 6 as by way of coating and is commercially available in this form. While disclosed as being of paper, sheets 4 and 6 may be cardboard, plastic or the like and may be worked in accordance with the disclosed invention.
- the upper sheet 4 has a series of spaced segments 9 formed as by cutting; the removal thereof providing slots or cut-out portions 10.
- bottom sheet 6 has congruently spaced segments (not shown), the removal of which forms slotted portions 12 which may be similarly formed as by cutting or preforating.
- a border or framing portion 14 formed by the exposed pressure-sensitive adhesive coated segment of the undersheet 6. This area may be of any desired size, generally 1/16 to 1A; inch being suicient to provide adequate adhesive area for the embodiments illustrated. It is this area 14 to which the individual X-ray lms may be secured.
- the carrier 2 in this instance, is provided with patient indicia and each of the mounting areas has printed there below identifying indicia indicating where specific X-ray iilms are to be secured.
- the right-hand side of the carrier 2 illustrates the removable segments of the top sheet in place while the left-hand side illustrates these segments removed, as preparatory for mounting X-rays.
- carrier 2 is provided with spaced apertures or holes 16 so that the viewing carrier may be properly positioned on the receiving pins of an X-ray viewing apparatus or the like.
- the sheets 4 and 6 need not be of a vegetable Ifiber nature and could be of a plastic or other synthetic material.
- the weight or thickness of the individual sheets may be varied to suit and fulfill particular desires to meet specific applications. Generally, because of the economics involved, a stiff or heavier weight paper will suice, Additionally, the adhesive layer of the assemblage need not be continuous.
- the carrier or assemblage 22 comprises a top sheet 24 and a bottom sheet 26, the bottom sheet 26 having secured thereto or applied thereon a coating of pressure-sensitive adhesive 28.
- Assemblage 22 has spaced binder ring holes such as 30 for placement of the individual sheets into an album or the like.
- a single elongated mounting area 32 is provided.
- the cut-out or perforated removable portion or segment 32 is peeled from the undersheet 26 which has smaller cut-out portion 36 which is also-removed to provide an elongated mounting area formed by the exposed adhesive layer on the undersheet 26.
- the mounting area 32 thusly formed is ready to have secured thereon pictures such as 38 in row fashion.
- FIG. 4 another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in cross section and in greatly exaggerated from wherein the bottom sheet 40, to which has been applied the adhesive layer 42, does not employ or have cut segments.
- the upper sheet 44 cut-Out segments 46 which, upon removal, exposes the adhesive layer 42 beneath the cut-out or punch-out segments 46.

- the advantage to be gained on the one hand may be oifset by the disadvantages on the other.
- the undersheet 40 is of opaque nature, this would cut down on the light transmission therethrough making it difficult to properly View the X-ray films of FIG. 1.
- the adhesive layer 42 may also interfere with light transmission. However, where light transmission is not necessary as for the mounting of specimens, etc. other than X-ray films, the embodiment of FIG. 4 would not be unattractive. Additionally, where the objects mounted are to be easily removable and their removability is occasioned quite frequently, the embodiment of FIG. 4 would not suffice because one could not insert ones finger, hand or other object at the under-surface in order to disengage the secured-to-object from the adhesive layer. On the other hand, the embodiment of FIG. 4 has as its attribute an increased exposed adhesive layer area which provides for greater contact between the article, photo, etc. to be secured to the carrier sheet or the like.
- FIG. 5 one of the methods of fabricating the herein disclosed invention is shown as being applied to the fabrication of a dental chart such as depicted in FIG. l.
- the assemblage or carrier sheet 52 has had the bottom sheet 54 already cut to precisely and accurately form removable segments 56, the cuts, of course, being appropriately spaced.
- the assemblage ⁇ 52 is supported by a movable platen or the like 58 in proper alignment to receive movable cutting-die 60.
- Cutting die 60 has spaced knife edges 62 to cut into and form removable segments in the upper sheet 64 of assemblage or carrier 52.
- the spacing of the knife edges is such that congruently-shaped segments will be formed but which are of a larger size than those previously cut in the bottom sheet 54. This, then, will provide larger segments in the upper sheet 64 which, upon removal, provides or exposes a mounting area to -which X-ray lms and the like may be secured.
