Claim:
An article support structure used for attaching an article through a stretch-releasable double-sided adhesive tape to an adherend, comprising: a base plate which can be removably attached to the article or accessory member thereof, wherein the base plate comprises: a base having a top major face and an opposing bottom major face, the base defining a length and width, the length being greater than the width, a guide extending entirely along the top major face, an insert platform connected to the guide opposite the top major face, wherein a slot is defined between the insert platform and the top major face; a projection-shaped gripping member projecting from the insert platform outwardly beyond the top major face in a direction opposite the bottom major face that faces the adherend, the gripping member defining a length in a direction of the length of the base, the length of the gripping member being less than the length of the base; and at least one pair of spacer members provided on both sides of the base, the spacer members each projecting outwardly beyond the bottom major face in a direction opposite the top major face to define a gap relative to the bottom major face that is less than a thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape when adhered in place, and greater than the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape when released, between a surface of the adherend and the bottom major face of the base, when the double-sided adhesive tape is stretch-released; wherein a position of the gripping member at least partly overlaps a position of the spacer members in the length direction of the base.
