Claims
- 1. A rub-off cosmetic advertising sampler produced from a continuous web, comprising:
- (a) A flat, printed sheet of paper stock which is one of a series of identical pieces obtained from the web;
- (b) the sheet having a transfer layer receiving and rub-off section surface having a smooth, oil-impermeable surface substantially less than the area of the sheet but large enough to accommodate engagement and movement of a finger tip in a rubbing stroke;
- (c) a solid relatively thick transfer layer which is a dried residue of a semi-liquid transfer layer composition disposed on the smooth oil impermeable surface of the receiving and rub-off section;
- (d) the transfer layer being readily removable from the receiving section by a finger tip on which it accumulates as a uniform cream-like substance readily spreadable on the skin;
- (e) the transfer layer, having a high percentage of cosmetic powders, mixed with a binder and waxy oil-like constituents;
- (f) the paper sheet having printed matter thereon, referring to the product associated with the transfer layer;
- (g) a protective flat covering piece integrally connected with the flat sheet and extending over and covering the transfer layer to protect it during handling; and
- (h) the covering piece being readily movable from its protective over-lying position to give immediate access to the then un-covered transfer layer surface.
- 2. The rub-off cosmetic advertising sampler as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- (a) the transfer layer is a blend of cosmetic-like material and a binder which gives an accurate color match to a color hue mentioned in the printed material.
- 3. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- (a) the transfer layer has a relatively hardened surface, but rubs off under pressure as a soft paste-like cream which can be placed on the skin to give an accurate color match to a commercial cosmetic referred to in the printed material.
- 4. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 2, wherein:
- (a) the sheet has a plurality of transfer layer receiving and rub-off sections having different transfer layers representing different cosmetics.
- 5. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- (a) the sheet contains printed advertising material and is rectangular in shape, and
- (b) the covering piece is a rectangular sheet hingedly connected along its edge to an edge of the printed sheet.
- 6. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 11, wherein:
- (a) the oil-impervious surface being a barrier layer is disposed on the surface of the piece beneath the transfer layer.
- 7. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 6, wherein:
- (a) the barrier layer is in an impermeable coating which prevents the paper from absorbing the transfer layer constituents.
- 8. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 6, wherein:
- (a) the barrier layer is in ultra-violet radiated coating.
- 9. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- (a) the cosmetic powder includes cosmetic powder particles of the transfer layers which are approximately 50% by weight thereof.
- 10. The rub-off advertising sampler as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
- (a) an end section of the printed paper sheet is a binding strip separable therefrom along a perforate separation line.
