Abstract:
An adhesive assembly can be used to join textile materials together creating a durable wash resistant. An emblem can be removed from a work shirt without leaving glue stains or residue. The shirt may be reused if emblems need to be removed or changed before the life of the garment expires. In various embodiments, a layer of mesh is incorporated into the heat activated glue on the back of the emblem. This mesh does not affect adherence to the garment. The emblem sticks just as well as without the mesh layer and with zero process changes to how the emblem is applied. The mesh allows for the complete removal of the adhesive from the garment when the patch is removed allowing the garment to be used even after the patch is removed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of associating an emblem assembly with a substrate comprising the steps of:\n interposing a first layer of adhesive between a back face of an emblem and the substrate; interposing an adhesive retention layer between the back face of the emblem and the substrate wherein the first layer of adhesive is in contact with the adhesive retention layer; adhering the emblem to the substrate in a wash-durable manner with the first layer of adhesive; and after the adhering step, removing the emblem assembly from the substrate inclusive of the layer of adhesive such that substantially none of the first layer of adhesive is visible on the substrate after the removing step.
