Abstract:
A tape laminate comprisinga support layer having opposite major surfaces, first and second parts, and two anchor portions of one of said major surfaces with each of said anchor portions being on a different one of said parts, said support layer being folded between said first and second parts to position said anchor portions on opposite sides of said support layer and in generally parallel relationship;means for bonding said anchor portions to the opposed surfaces of rigid objects so that the tape laminate can support one object from the other against a static force generally parallel to said anchor portions, said means for bonding comprising a first attachment strip having opposite ends and inner and outer opposite major surfaces extending between said ends, said first attachment strip comprising a first layer of adhesive defining at least a portion of said outer major surface and said inner major surface of said first attachment strip being bonded to said anchor portion on said first part; andmeans including a tab portion for affording stretching of said first attaching strip by pulling on said tab portion to release adhesive engagement of said first layer of adhesive from an object to which said outer major surface of said first layer of adhesive is adhered,said fold affording pivotal movement of said first and second portions away from each other to provide separation of said first and second parts of said support layer and thereby sufficient separation of rigid objects to which said anchor portions are bonded by said means for bonding with said tab portion therebetween to afford access to said tab portion and release of adhesive engagement of said first layer of adhesive from one of said rigid objects by stretching said attachment strip.
