     BACKGROUND 
     Partition mounting systems are employed to isolate portions of a building or room, by serving as a barrier to dust, noise, light, odors, and the like. Workers at construction sites often use rudimentary techniques for constructing and installing partitions. Some simply nail, screw, or staple a curtain or plastic sheet of material to a floor, ceiling, or abutting walls of a room, resulting in damage to their surfaces. Others tape or adhere, using masking tape (e.g., 3M Painters Tape, 3M Corporate Headquarters, 3M Center, St. Paul, Minn. 55144), a curtain or plastic sheet to walls or ceilings of a room. However, the masking tape usually fails to adhere to the curtain or plastic sheet due to its weight. On the other hand, some secure a curtain or plastic sheet to walls or ceilings of a room using duct tape (e.g., Duck Tape, Henkel Consumer Adhesives, Inc., 32150 Just Imagine Drive, Avon, Ohio 44011). As a result, paint can pull off of surfaces with the removal of the tape, or adhesive residue is left behind when the tape is removed.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the inventive concepts. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various limitations, elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these limitations, elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one limitation, element, component, region, layer or section from another limitation, element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first limitation, element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second limitation, element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present application. 
     It will be further understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” or “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly on or above, or connected or coupled to, the other element or intervening elements can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” or “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). When an element is referred to herein as being “over” another element, it can be over or under the other element, and either directly coupled to the other element, or intervening elements may be present, or the elements may be spaced apart by a void or gap.

The cutout  24   a  can provide an opening for the zipper pull  24 , while allowing the protective paper strip  28  or tape liner to protect the adhesive material  26  on the left and right flanges  20 A,  20 B. 
     In this embodiment, a plurality of left and right teeth portions  22 A,  22 B are attached directly to the left and right flanges  20 A,  20 B. The flanges can comprise a cloth material, a fabric material, a reinforcement material, a nylon mesh material, a polyester mesh material and the like. 
     For example, the zipper  14  may be packaged in the partition assembly kits  10  of  FIGS.  1 A (A) through  1 D having a pre-applied adhesive material  26  having a protective paper strip  28  or tape liner adhered thereto. 
       FIG.  2 B  is a perspective view of a zipper of a type that can be included with the partition assembly kits of  FIGS.  1 A (A) through  1 D, in accordance with other embodiments of the present inventive concepts. In this exemplary embodiment, first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B of the roll of double-side tape  100  included in the partition assembly kit  10  are sectioned and adhered to the left and right flanges  101 A,  101 B of the zipper  14 , respectively, by an installer. The first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B can be adhered along the entire length (i.e. from top  307  to bottom  308 ) of the left and right flanges  101 A,  101 B of the zipper  14 . Further, the first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B can be adhered from a distance  309  below the top  307  of the reusable zipper  14 , and along the length of the reusable zipper  14 , to the bottom  308  of the reusable zipper  14 . As such, an installer, such as the installer  200  illustrated in  FIGS.  3 A-M (B), can apply the zipper  14 , having the first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B on the left and right flanges  101 A,  101 B, to a sheet of material  201  of a partially assembled partition mounting system (see for example  FIG.  3 D ). 
     The distance  309  from the top  307  of the zipper  14  free from the first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B can be utilized as pull tabs for eventual removal of the zipper  14  from the combination of the tape strips  306 A,  306 B and the sheet of material  201 . Although not shown with reference to  FIGS.  2 A (A) and  2 A(B), the pre-applied adhesive material  26  of the zippers  14  illustrate at  FIGS.  2 A (A) and  2 A(B) can be setback a distance from the top of the zipper so that pull tabs can be provided for the eventual removal of the zipper  14  from the sheet of material  201 . 
     The zipper  14  of the embodiments described herein can have a length LZ, which ranges, in some embodiments, between about 5 feet and about 12 feet in length. In other embodiments, the length LZ can be less than 5 feet or greater than 12 feet in length.

In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 5 feet long. In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 6 feet long. In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 7 feet long. In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 8 feet long. In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 9 feet long. In another embodiment, the length LZ of the zipper is at least 10 feet long. 
       FIGS.  2 C (A) and  2 C(B) are exploded perspective view of a roll of double-sided tape  100  of a type that can be included with the partition assembly kits of  FIGS.  1 A (A) through  1 D and  FIGS.  4 A (A) through  4 F(B), in accordance with embodiments of the present inventive concepts. In other embodiments, the roll of double-sided tape  100  can be provided exclusive of the partition assembly kits disclosed herein, and provided on its own. The roll of double-sided tape  100  can comprise a carrier material  101  having a high-tack adhesive material  102  on a first side of the carrier material  101  and a low-tack adhesive material  103  on a second side of the carrier material  101 . The carrier material  101  can comprise any of a number of carrier materials. In some embodiments, the carrier material  101  comprises paper, such as, crepe paper, calendared paper, rope paper, and the like. The carrier material  101  has a thickness T 1 , which ranges, in some embodiments, between about 0.1 mm to about 0.3 mm. In this manner, the resulting double-sided tape having a paper carrier material may be easily ripped or torn by hand. 
     In one embodiment, the roll of double-sided tape  100  comprises a single-layer carrier material  101  having a high-tack adhesive material  102  on a first side of the carrier material  101  and a low-tack adhesive material  103  on a second side of the carrier material  101 . In other embodiments, the roll of double-sided tape  100  comprises a multi-layer carrier material  101  having a high-tack adhesive material  102  on a first side of a first carrier material  101  and a low-tack adhesive material  103  on a first side of a second carrier material  101 . In this embodiment, the second sides of first and second carrier materials  101  can be affixed together by an adhesive material or other suitable substrate. 
     In other embodiments, the carrier material  101  can comprise a polyester film (e.g., Mylar or Melinex), a Polypropylene film, a Polyethylene film, a cloth material, a vinyl film or a combination of the above. 
     The roll of double-sided tape  100  can further comprise a tape liner  104  that covers the second side of the carrier material  101 . The tape liner  104  is positioned on the high-tack adhesive material  102  so that the roll of double-sided tape  100  can be easily unrolled. The tape liner  104  may comprise, in some embodiments, a paper release liner, a plastic release liner, a colored release liner, and/or the like. In one embodiment, a colored release liner is provided such that the release liner is visibly distinguishable from the carrier material. In this manner, the colored release liner can be easily distinguished from the carrier material, allowing for easy removal by an installer. Assuming a paper carrier material and a paper tape liner are used in combination, the double-sided tape may be easily ripped or torn by hand. 
     The colored release liner can comprise: red-colored release liner, a yellow-colored release liner, a blue-colored release liner, a green-colored release liner, a black-colored release liner, or an orange-colored release liner. In some embodiments, the release liner comprises a color associated with the product seller&#39;s trade color. 
     The carrier material can comprise a white-colored carrier material, a tan-colored carrier material or a grey-colored carrier material. In some embodiments, the carrier material comprises a color associated with the product seller&#39;s trade color, and can be different from that of the color of the release liner. 
     The carrier material  101  and the tape liner  104  have widths W 1 , W 2 , respectively, which range, in some embodiments, between about ½ of an inch to about 4 inches in width. In other embodiments, the widths W 1 , W 2  can be less than ½ of an inch or greater than 4 inches in width. Further, the width W 1  of the carrier material  101  and the width W 2  of the tape liner  104  can be substantially equal in width. The carrier material  101  and the tape liner  104  have lengths L 1 , L 2 , respectively, which range, in some embodiments, between about 10 feet and about 50 feet in length. In other embodiments, the lengths L 1 , L 2  can be less than 10 feet or greater than 50 feet in length. 
     The high-tack adhesive material  102  and the low-tack adhesive material may comprise a rubber adhesive compound. However, the high-tack adhesive material  102  and the low-tack adhesive material may comprise other suitable adhesive compounds. The high-tack adhesive material  102  has a peel adhesion (N/in), which is, in some embodiments, greater than or equal to 20 N/in, preferably about 25 N/in. In other embodiments, the high-tack adhesive material  102  can optionally have a peel adhesion of less than 20 N/in. The low-tack adhesive material  103  has a peel adhesion, which is, in some embodiments, less than or equal to 15 N/in, preferably about 10 N/in. In other embodiments, the low-tack adhesive material  103  can optionally have a peel adhesion of greater than 15 N/in. As such, the low-tack adhesive material  103  allows for the double-sided tape  100  to be removed from an entry way, a window frame, a door frame, or other opening without removing paint or wallpaper thereon or leaving a residue behind. 
     The first side of the carrier material  101  having the high-tack adhesive material  102  can be adhered to a sheet of material  201 , and can withstand a negative or positive pressure differential between partitioned areas. Negative pressure is often created in an enclosed area because an enclosed area with negative pressure will suck air into it when doors or windows are opened. This prevents dust or other debris from escaping through opened doors and windows. 
     The double-sided tape  100  has a differential adhesive ratio (ratio of peel adhesion of the high-tack adhesive material  102  to the peel adhesion of the low-tack adhesive material  103 ), which ranges, in some embodiments, between about 4:3 to about 6:1, preferably the differential adhesive ratio is about 5:2. 
     In some embodiments, the low-tack side of the double-sided tape comprises a UV protectant, which prevents adhesive residue from being left on glass, frame moldings and the like. 
       FIG.  2 D  is a perspective view of a cutter of a type that can be included with the partition assembly kits of  FIGS.  1 A (A) through  1 D, in accordance with embodiments of the present inventive concepts. The partition assembly kits  10  can optionally include cutter  18 , for example, of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,743,512, issued Jun. 29, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     The cutter  18  is operative to pierce and cut a sheet of material  201  to which a zipper  14  has been applied (see for example  FIG.  3 G ). The cutter  18  is constructed and arranged to cut an opening in a sheet of material  201  between left and right teeth portions  22 A,  22 B of a zipper  14 . Once an opening has been formed between left and right teeth portions  22 A,  22 B of a zipper  14 , access can be permitted through the barrier by unzipping the zipper  14  and can be re-sealed by re-zipping the zipper  14 . 
     The cutter  18  includes a handle  36  that is ribbed to provide a gripping surface, to cut down on weight, and to provide for lateral rigidity of the unit. The handle  36  is coupled to a body portion  38  that is partitioned into left and right spaced-apart body sections  40 A,  40 B. The left and right body sections  40 A,  40 B each include a blade  42 A,  42 B that has an exposed edge  44 A,  44 B, as shown. The sharpness of the blade edges  44 A,  44 B are appropriate for readily slicing through a sheet of material  201 , such as plastic sheeting or cloth sheeting. In one embodiment, the dual blades  42 A,  42 B comprise sharpened stainless steel, metal, or metal alloy. The exposed blade edges  44 A,  44 B are preferably oriented to be aligned with the direction of force that is applied to the cutter  18  when cutting the sheet of material  201 . 
     The dual blades  42 A,  42 B are spaced apart by a distance di, for example, the distance di can range between about 0.5 cm to about 3.0 cm. In one embodiment, the distance di can be determined in accordance with the dimensions of the one or more zippers  14  that are included in the partition assembly kit  10 . For example, the distance di can be determined by the distance between the flanges  20 A,  20 B of the zipper  14  in order to remove a large swath of the sheet material  201  between the flanges  20 A,  20 B of the zipper  14 , and to further avoid formation of a flap of sheet material  201  that would otherwise interfere with zipper&#39;s  14  operation. The dual blades  42 A,  42 B are preferably recessed in the body  38  of the cutter  18  as shown, allowing for safe operation and safe storage. In one embodiment, the blade edges  44 A,  44 B are oriented at an angle relative to the direction of cutting, to provide for more enhanced cutting action. 
     Extending from each of the left and right body sections  40 A,  40 B opposite the handle  36  are elongated puncture fingers  46  that have sharp tips. The puncture fingers  46  are constructed and arranged to make initial contact with the sheet of material  201  and pierce the sheet of material  201  until the dual blades  42 A,  42 B are in position to contact the sheet of material  201  for cutting. Initial puncture of the sheet of material  201 , prior to cutting, provides for a cleaner and more precise cutting operation. The puncture fingers  46  further shield the dual blades  42 A,  42 B in a cutting recess region defined by the puncture fingers  46 , so as to improve the safety of the cutter  18 . The puncture fingers  46  include inner guide surfaces  48  that guide the punctured sheet of material  201  toward the cutting recess region, for further cutting of the punctured sheet of material  201 . 
     An optional material deflector  50 , or multiple material deflectors  50 , is provided between the spaced-apart body sections  40 A,  40 B and blades  42 A,  42 B of the cutter  18 . The material deflector  50  operates to pull the sheet of material inserted into the cutting recess region, as guided by the guide surfaces  48  of the puncture fingers  46 , against the blade edges  44 A,  44 B of the dual blades  42 A,  42 B as the material is being cut. 
       FIGS.  3 A through  3 O  illustrate a method for assembling and installing a partition mounting system using a partition assembly kit of the type described in connection with  FIGS.  1 A (A) through  1 D, in accordance with embodiments of the present inventive concepts. In  FIG.  3 A , an installer  200  decides which portion of a room to install a partition mounting system. In this example, the installer  200  installs a partition mounting system using a partition assembly kit  10 . The partition mounting system can be constructed to seal and/or isolate a window frame  202  or an entry way  207  of a room. The partition mounting system can further be constructed to seal and/or isolate various other openings, access areas, and the like. 
     The room comprises a ceiling  220 , a floor  221  and sidewalls  222 ,  223 . The window frame  202  comprises a top frame portion  204 , side frame portions  203 ,  205 , and a window sill  206 . The entry way  207  comprises a top frame portion  209 , side frame portions  208 ,  210 , and a bottom frame portion  211 . 
     In this example, the installer  200  affixes the double-sided tape  100  from the partition assembly kit  10  to the window frame  202  by placing the second side of the carrier material  101  having the low-tack adhesive material  103  thereon against the window frame  202 . For example, the installer  200  places a starting portion  100   s  of the double-sided tape  100  at a top  205   t  of the side portion  205  of the window frame  202 , and applies a uniform pressure with a hand to the backside (i.e., first side of the double-sided tape  100  having the tape liner  104  that covers the second side of the carrier material  101 ) of the double-sided tape  100  while applying a continuous strip of the double-sided tape  100  to the side portion  205  of the window frame  202  in a downward direction toward a bottom  205   b  of the side portion  205  of the window frame  202 . The installer  200  can then tear by hand, or cut using a knight, cutter, scissors or blade, the double-sided tape  100 . As a result, a first double-sided tape strip  100 A is affixed to the side portion  205  of the window frame  202 . 
     In other embodiments, the installer  200  can affix sheets of material  201 ,  201 A,  201 B to the window or door frames using strips of single-sided tape  100 . 
     In  FIG.  3 B , the installer  200  likewise affixes the double-sided tape  100  to the remaining portions (i.e., side frame portion  203 , top frame portion  204 , and window sill  206 ) of the window frame  202 . The installer  200  may further affix the double-sided tape  100  to the top frame portion  209 , side frame portions  208 ,  210 , and bottom frame portion  211  of the entry way  207 . Tape strips  100 A,  100 B,  100 C,  100 D are shown affixed to the window frame  202  and tape strips  100 E,  100 F,  100 G,  100 H are shown affixed to the entry way  207 . 
     In this example, the installer  200  removes first and second sheets of material  201 A,  201 B from the receptacle  11  of the partition assembly kit  10 . In some embodiments, the installer  200  can remove a single sheet of material  201  from the receptacle  11  of the partition assembly kit  10 , and can further cut the single sheet of material  201  to create first and second sheets of material  201 A,  201 B. In other embodiments, the installer  200  can remove a single sheet of material  201  from the receptacle  11  of the partition assembly kit  10 , and use the single sheet of material  201  to cover the door frame  207  and not cover the window frame  202 . 
     In  FIG.  3 C , the installer  200  removes the tape liner  104 A from the double-sided tape strip  100 A that covers the second side of the carrier material  101 , thus exposing the high-tack adhesive material  102 A. The installer  200  subsequently removes the tape liner from the tape strips  100 A,  100 B,  100 C,  100 D that are affixed to the window frame  202 , and the tape strips  100 E,  100 F,  100 G,  100 H that are affixed to the entry way  207 . 
     In  FIG.  3 D , the installer  200  affixes the second sheet of material  201 B from the partition assembly kit  10  to the exposed high-tack adhesive material  102  of the tape strips  100 A,  100 B,  100  C,  100 D of the window frame  202  and further affixes the first sheet of material  201 A from the partition assembly kit  10  to the exposed high-tack adhesive material  102  of the tape strips  100 E,  100 F,  100 G,  100 H of the entry way  207 . 
     The sheets of material  201 A,  201 B, which are affixed to the window and door frames  202 ,  207 , can be opaque so that images cannot be seen through it and/or to prevent light transmission through the material. Further, the sheets of material  201 A,  201 B can be translucent, such that light can pass through the material, but objects on the other side cannot be clearly distinguished. Opaque and translucent sheets of materials  201  may be used to prevent outsiders from viewing the interior of a room. On the other hand, the sheets of material  201  can be transparent, allowing light to pass through the material so objects can be illuminated, or so that objects can be clearly seen through the material. 
     The double-sided tape and methods for installing various partition configurations using the double-sided tape described herein can be used in conjunction with other partition mounting systems, such as, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,924,469, filed Oct. 29, 1996, U.S. Pat. No. 7,658,219, filed May 10, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,073,758, filed on Jun. 20, 2003, U.S. Pat. No. 7,533,712, filed on Jun. 20, 2003, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,743,512, issued on Jun. 29, 2010, the contents of each being incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     In  FIG.  3 E , the installer  200  retrieves a zipper  14  from the partition assembly kit  10 , and adheres the zipper  14  to a sheet of material  201 . In this example, the zipper  14  is shown affixed to the second sheet of material  201 B, which is affixed to the entry way  207 . 
     In one embodiment, a zipper  14  having a pre-applied adhesive material  26 , such as the zipper illustrated at  FIGS.  2 A (A) and  2 A(B), is affixed to a sheet of material  201  by the installer  200 . In this embodiment, the installer  200  removes the protective paper strips  28 , or single strip  28 , from the zipper  14  prior to affixing the zipper  14  to the sheet of material  201 . 
     In another embodiment, a zipper  14  having first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B adhered to the left and right flanges  101 A,  101 B of the zipper  14 , such as the zipper illustrated at  FIG.  2 B , is affixed to a sheet of material by the installer  200 . In this embodiment, the installer applies the first and second tape strips  306 A,  306 B to the left and right flanges  101 A,  101 B of the zipper  14  prior to affixing the zipper  14  to the sheet of material  201 . 
     In another embodiment, the sheet of material  201  may comprise first and second pre-attached zippers  114 , such as the sheets of material  201  illustrated at  FIGS.  4 A (A) through  4 F(B). 
     Referring to  FIGS.  3 E and  3 F , the bottom  52  of the zipper  14  is aligned with the bottom of the sheet of material  201 , so that the zipper  14  can be opened using zipper pull  24  to expose a portion  54  of the sheet of material  201  between the zipper teeth portions  22 A,  22 B and between the left and right flanges  20 A,  20 B of the zipper  14 . 
     In  FIG.  3 G , the installer  200  positions the cutter  18  at a top portion of the exposed sheet portion  54  between the left and right teeth portions  22 A,  22 B of the zipper  14 . The installer  200  applies pressure to cutter  18  such that the sharp tips of the puncture fingers  46  initially penetrate the exposed sheet portion  54 , at two spaced-apart piercing locations  62 . In  FIG.  3 H , the installer  200  begins to pull the cutter  18  in a downward cutting direction, as indicated by arrow  56 , which moves the puncture fingers  46  further into the sheet of material  201 . The guide surfaces  48  of the puncture fingers  46  deflect the sheet of material  201  toward the dual blades  42 A,  42 B of the cutter  18 , while, at the same time, the material deflector  50  pulls the sheet of material  201  taut against the dual blades  42 A,  42 B. 
     Referring to  FIG.  3 I , as cutting continues in the downward direction  56 , two parallel cuts are made in the plastic sheet by the blades  42 A,  42 B of the cutter  18 . The two parallel cuts define a swath of material  58  that is cut between the left and right flanges  20 A,  20 B of the zipper  14 . The blades  42 A,  42 B are spaced apart by a suitable distance di such that the cuts are made close to the flanges  20 A,  20 B, so that excess sheet material is not present between the left and right zipper teeth  22 A,  22 B. In this manner, any sheet material that remains between the left and right portions of the zipper  14  will not interfere with proper zipper operation. 
     In  FIG.  3 J , the swath of material  58  cut between the left and right zipper portions can be seen. The swath of material  58  remains attached at the puncture region  60  where the cut was initiated at puncture holes  62 . The dual parallel cuts  64  extend from the puncture holes  62  along the length of the zipper  14 . Following completion of the cut, the swath of material can be torn or cut in the puncture region  60  at the top, bottom, or top and bottom portions of the zipper  14 , and removed by the installer  200 , as shown in  FIG.  3 K . 
       FIG.  3 L  is a perspective view of the opened zipper  14  after the swath of material  58  between the parallel cuts is removed. A temporary entryway  66  is provided in the opening of the zipper  14 . The temporary entryway  66  can be opened and closed at will by engaging and releasing the zipper  14  with the zipper pull  24 . 
     In another embodiment, as illustrated in  FIGS.  3 M (A) and  3 M(B), an installer can affix a second zipper  14  to the sheet of material  201 , adjacent and parallel to the first zipper  14 . As such, the first and second zippers  14  can be opened and the sheet of material between the two zippers can be rolled up creating am enlarged temporary entryway  68 . 
     Although the above embodiment depicts the installation of sheets of material  201 A,  201 B at a window frame  202  and an entryway  207 , embodiments of the present inventive concepts are not thus limited. In other preferred embodiments, partition assembly kits, sheets of material, and methods of installation apply to installation of a sheet of material at only a window frame  202  or at only an entryway  207 , or at only other regions of abutting environments. 
     In  FIG.  3 N (A), a first strap  2000  can be removed from the receptacle  11  by the installer, which can be secured to the sheet of material  201 .
