Abstract
Abstract A fastener attachment device for application to marginal edge portions of flexible sheet materials to facilitate the fastening of such sheet material is described. The device comprises a length of tape coated on one side with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and folded against itself midway along its length to provide an inner adhered-together portion and non-adhered, opposed, outwardly-extending portions retained in separated relation before use of the device by an interposed cover or tear strip member. Fastening means in the form of a snap fastener, eyelet, ring or the like is affixed to the adhered-together portion of the tape. In use, the outwardly-extending portions of the tape will be separated from the cover or tear strip member and applied flat against opposite marginal side portions of the sheet material to which the device is to be applied.
