Abstract:
A method for irreversibly binding a plurality of sheets together, comprising:(i) superimposing a first sheet on a second sheet, said first sheet having an adhesive strip comprising an adhesive element selected from the group consisting of a glue and a two-sided tape, wherein the tape is adhesive on both surfaces, along at least one of its edges, and a silicone material band, releasably placed on said glue or adhesive tape strip and having at least a portion not coupled to said glue or adhesive tape strip, such that the uncoupled portion may be used to grasp the silicone band during its removal over said second sheet; (ii) grasping the uncoupled portion of the silicone band; and (iii) pulling the uncoupled portion of the silicone band while said first and second sheets are superimposed so as to uncover the glue or adhesive tape strip and thereby irreversibly bind the two sheets together.
