Stubless multi-ply assembly

Claim 1

A unit set of multiple plies, comprising at least superimposed first, second, third and fourth plies, said first ply having a folded flap removably connected along one edge of said top ply by a line of weakening extending along the fold between said flap and said top ply, said third ply having at least one first hole of a predetermined first size lying adjacent one edge thereof, said flap underlying said fourth ply and having a quantity of detachable adhesive thereon securing said first ply to said fourth ply, said fourth ply having at least one second hole of a predetermined second size lying adjacent one edge thereof in axial alignment with said first hole, the size of said second hole being less than the size of said first hole, a portion of said quantity of adhesive extending through said first and second holes and securing said second and fourth plies together along one edge of said second ply, said quantity of adhesive lying inwardly of said first hole by reason of the difference in size between said holes to thereby immobilize said third ply in place, said edges of each said plies lying at a common end of said unit set, and said plies each being devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub, whereby removal of said first ply along said line of weakening leaves said second, third and fourth plies intact, or separation of said second and fourth plies effects a break of said adhesive and frees said third ply from the set while leaving said first and fourth plies interconnected, or removal of said first ply together with separation of said second and fourth plies separates each of said plies from one another.
