Abstract:
An adhesive tape for attaching plural objects to one another, said tape comprising a stretchable backing layer having first and second major surfaces and first and second ends, a non-adhesive manually engageable tab portion at one of said first and second ends to facilitate stretching of said backing layer, a first adhesive surface over at least a portion of said first major surface of said backing layer for bonding to a surface of an object, a second adhesive surface over at least a portion of the second major or surface of said backing layer, the second adhesive surface over the second major surface of said backing layer is bonded to a separable connector layer, and a separable connector surface is provided as a surface of said separable connector layer, said separable connector surface covering at least a portion of said second major surface of said backing layer, wherein said backing layer and said first adhesive surface are stretchable together to effect progressive debonding of the first adhesive surface from an object, after the adhesive surface is bonded to that object, by the application of a force to the first end of the backing layer in a direction of extension of the backing layer between its first and second ends, and said separable connector surface possesses the ability to be connected, disconnected and reconnected to a cooperating connection surface without destruction of the separable connector surface and the adhesive tape.
