Abstract:
1. An adhesive transfer device for selectively making a repositionably adherable substrate from a selected substrate, said device comprising: a core; a base substrate having opposing outer surfaces including an adhesive carrying surface and a release surface opposite said adhesive carrying surface; a layer of repositionable adhesive provided on the adhesive carrying surface of said base substrate; a layer of permanent adhesive provided adjacent to and covering said repositionable adhesive layer opposite the base substrate; and said base substrate being wound about said core such that said release surface faces in a first generally radial direction with respect to said core and said adhesive layers face in a second generally radial direction with respect to said core opposite said first generally radial direction with said release surface removably engaging said permanent adhesive layer; the nature of said release surface being such that said base substrate can be unwound to separate said release surface and said permanent adhesive layer with both said adhesive layers remaining on said base substrate with said permanent adhesive layer exposed, thereby enabling the selected substrate to thereafter be adhesively bonded to said exposed permanent adhesive layer by engaging the selected substrate with said exposed permanent adhesive layer; said adhesive layers being provided such that, after the selected substrate has been adhesively bonded to said permanent adhesive layer, said base substrate and the selected substrate can be moved apart from one another so as to separate said base substrate from said repositionable adhesive layer and leave both said adhesive layers on the selected substrate with said repositionable adhesive layer exposed, thereby allowing the selected substrate to (a) be repositionably adhered to a contact surface by engaging said exposed repositionable adhesive layer with the contact surface and (b) thereafter be removed from the contact surface and repositionably adhesively bonded to another contact surface.
