Definitions

  • This invention relates to assembling, connecting, securing, packaging, sealing and other fastening functions applied to different products and with notable particularity to products generated from sheet materials, as paper, acetate, fabrics and others.
  • the piece must remain unfastened before its use, occupying thereby more space in packaging, display and storing.
  • Another system uses a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on one of the surfaces that need to be fastened. This pressure sensitive coating is protected with a plastic or synthetic liner before its use. The system does eliminate the need to moisten the adhesive coating, yet it has its own significant disadvantages:
  • this liner might not be biodegradable.
  • U.S. Pat 5,722,585 proposes the use of pressure sensitive adhesive coupled with the release liner to seal a box
  • U.S. Pat. 5,499,757 proposes as an alternative embodiment, the use of the pressure sensitive adhesive coupled with the release liner and additionally, having said arrangement mounted on the two surfaces that are being connected.
  • this protective strip When this protective strip is in use, and the form carrier is not carrying a form, it can not maintain a defined, steady shape, since the natural tendency of the smaller section is to raise and form an angle with the larger section, making uneasy its handling and storage.
  • a FASTENING SYSTEM FOR BULLETIN BOARDS A popular system consists of affixing the documents with a tack onto a cork board.
  • the tacks represent a risk of accidental harm, particularly when they fall on the floor and may be stepped on, or be reached by children.
  • Too strong adhesion of the tape to the document may make impossible its removal without damaging the document.
  • Another example of this function is the need to attach cards or other flat objects onto a mailing piece.
  • this system is not viable, as for example:
  • a primary object of my invention is:
  • Another object of this invention is to further enable the incorporation of these fastening principles to any desired articles for any particular needs, by the use of adaptable fastening means as tape, containingthe principles of this system.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé de fixation avec de multiples applications. Ce procédé offre une solution pratique pour les différents problèmes associés aux fonctions de fixation. Les avantages de ce procédé de fixation sont faciles à expliquer lorsqu'on les applique au papier ou à un autre matériau en feuille. Par exemple, il supprime la nécessité d'humidifier des revêtements de colle, ou la nécessité d'utiliser des papiers de couverture amovibles pour protéger les revêtements adhésifs. Ce procédé permet, en outre, de créer de nouveaux produits, tels que des formes indépendantes pour des micro-imprimantes. De manière plus générale, ce procédé consiste à appliquer des couches d'un élément de fixation (202) et des couches d'inhibiteur d'élément de fixation (206) sur les surfaces à fixer, de telle sorte que ces dernières peuvent être placées en contact direct et rester non fixées ou temporairement fixées jusqu'à obtenir la fixation requise. Elles peuvent, en outre, être fixées en disposant les surfaces de manière différente pour permettre de réaliser différents objectifs qui peuvent être élargis par l'utilisation d'autres couches de l'élément de fixation présentant des propriétés différentes.
