A noncontact-reading type IC card image receiving material useful for sublimation thermal transfer recording is provided which is made by forming a resin cover film overlying a substrate including an IC chip and an antenna and in which an image is recorded on a surface of the receiving material or a receiving layer optionally formed on the receiving material by imagewise heating a sublimation thermal transfer recording material having an ink layer which contacts the receiving material or the receiving layer, wherein the resin cover film is formed by an injection and compression molding method. The receiving material is preferably subjected to a heat treatment after an image is formed thereon.

A sublimation type thermosensitive image transfer recording medium which can be used in repetition, comprising a support; a dye supplying layer formed on the support, comprising a sublimable dye and at least one binder agent in which the sublimable dye is dissolved or dispersed; and an image transfer facilitating layer formed on the dye supplying layer, comprising the sublimable dye and at least one organic binder agent in which the sublimable dye is dissolved or dispersed, the dye supplying layer and the image transfer facilitating layer being structured in such a manner that when the dye supplying layer and the image transfer facilitating layer are separately formed on a substrate, and the layers are separately superimposed on the same receiving sheet, with application of an equal quantity of thermal energy thereto, the amount (weight/unit time.unit area) of the sublimable dye transferred from the dye supplying layer to the receiving sheet is greater than the amount (weight/unit time.unit area) of the sublimable dye transferred from the image transfer facilitating layer to the receiving sheet.

Sublimation type thermosensitive image transfer recording medium

An image formation method wherein a thin film of a dyestuff liable to sublime or gasify is formed on a gas permeable film, and a heating element adjacent the back of the gas permeable film is heated in response to an image signal to generate from the dyestuff thin film a dyestuff gas flow which is representative of an image and which permeates through the gas permeable film so that the dyestuff deposits on acceptor paper adjacent the gas permeable film to form the image on the back of the acceptor paper.

A cap with a supply stopper for use with ordinary containers comprising a detachable double cap, that is, an outer cap and an inner cap which is used as a supply cap having a supply opening and a supply stopper. By an engagement mechanism of the upper cap and the inner cap, when the upper cap is fastened, the supply stopper is firmly pressed against the supply opening so that the leakage of contents in the container during storage or transportation is completely prevented.

Cap with supply stopper for use with containers

A cap for receptacles provided with an inside stopper, wherein the inside of the side-wall of the cap is threaded so as to fit on the threaded side-wall of the opening of the receptacle and the inside stopper is provided with a side-wall whose outside diameter is equal to or slightly greater than the inside diameter of the opening of the receptacle and is provided with a flange on the upper end of said side-wall and having an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the cap. The inside stopper is securely attached to the cap so as to be free from slipping out therefrom.
