Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
260 words
Adhesive means adapted to be secured to a napkin, or the like, to removably adhere same to the clothing of a user, said means comprising a piece of tape adapted to be shaped so as to be fed through appropriate machinery which will cut requisite pieces of the tape and apply them to said napkins, the tape having a coating of sensitive adhesive on both sides thereof, one side being adapted to be adhered to a corner of said napkin and the other side to the user''s clothing where desired; and a protective removable covering means provided over one side of the adhesive surface of the tape in the form of a separate piece of material having a non-adhesive outer surface facing away from the adhesive surface as affixed on said napkin, the removable non-adhesive protective covering means being wider than the underlying adhesive portion of the tape, thus allowing for the removal of this protective covering by manually lifting and peeling it off; said protective covering means and the underlying adhesive being dimensioned, such that the tape, when fed through appropriate machinery can be selectively cut off in such a manner that the covering means can be either completely removed (and subsequently thrown away) thus to expose the entire adhesive surface thereunder, or, the covering means can be partially tucked under the adhesive surface which engages the napkin so that the covering means can be removed to expose the entire adhesive surface thereunder, yet be retained by the adhesive surface which engages the napkin in an attached litter-free condition.
