Appeal No. 2006-0059 Page 2
Application No. 10/139,397
BACKGROUND
The present invention relates to a removable cartridge and a master processing
apparatus. The removable cartridge is configured to be used with a master
processing apparatus for processing a selected substrate. The master processing
apparatus includes a take-up roll mounted in a removable cartridge along with two
rolls of supply substrates, including a roll of an adhesive carrying substrate and a roll
of a mask substrate. The take-up roll removes the excess adhesive from the adhesive
carrying substrate after the processing operation has been performed. (Brief, pp. 4-5).
Representative claims 28 and 77 appear below:
28. A master processing apparatus comprising:
a frame;
a removable cartridge including a cartridge body structure constructed
and arranged to be removably mounted to said frame;
a first feed roll carrying a supply of an adhesive carrying substrate, said
adhesive carrying substrate having a layer of pressure-sensitive
adhesive disposed on an adhesive carrying side thereof;
a second feed roll carrying a supply of an adhesive mask substrate, said
adhesive mask substrate having a bonding side to which said adhesive
will bond;
a take-up roll, said adhesive mask substrate having a lead end portion
thereof connected to said take-up roll;
said first feed roll, said second feed roll, and said take-up roll each being
rotatably mounted to said cartridge body structure such that removably
mounting said cartridge body structure to said frame removably mounts
said first feed roll, said second feed roll, and said take-up roll to said
frame, said first and second feed rolls being positioned such that a
selected substrate can be inserted between the adhesive carrying
substrate and the mask substrate;
