Printed markers for identifying electrical cables are formed by winding an elongate strip or flattened length of tubing 19 onto a reel 30, which is then mounted for rotation to a thermal transfer printer 25. The printer then prints markings onto the strip or tubing 19 as it advances past a print head 36 of the printer. The strip or tubing 19 may be formed with transverse lines of weakness at intervals along its length, to define successive markers.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 12, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 12, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 12, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
