Abstract

Abstract A surface which has adhesive available, upon the removal of a release liner, in order to affix objects including, but not limited to, fabric, paper, plastics, yarn, leather, glass and trims. The mounting surface (10) is a heavy weight card stock paper, though it may be any material to which self-adhesives can be applied. The release liner (16), a material specially treated so as to be easily removed from the adhesive, covers the adhesive (18) until it is removed. The object to be mounted on the surface (22) is pressed down on the exposed adhesive, thus securing it to the mounting surface.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A loose-leaf page comprising: a substrate defining first and second surfaces, the first surface having a marginal mounting portion defining holes by which the substrate may be mounted, and also having a non-mounting portion; a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the substrate; a release liner disposed over the pressure sensitive adhesive; the release liner including at least one incision therethrough to facilitate removal of part of the liner from the adhesive without removing all of the liner; said adhesive being disposed over some but less than all of the non-mounting portion to thereby define, in the portion over which the adhesive is not disposed, a region on the substrate on which indicia relating to an article mounted to the adhesive can be written, such as by a pen or pencil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 130 words
A loose-leaf page comprising: a substrate defining first and second surfaces, the first surface having a marginal mounting portion defining holes by which the substrate may be mounted, and also having a non-mounting portion; a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the substrate; a release liner disposed over the pressure sensitive adhesive; the release liner including at least one incision therethrough to facilitate removal of part of the liner from the adhesive without removing all of the liner; said adhesive being disposed over some but less than all of the non-mounting portion to thereby define, in the portion over which the adhesive is not disposed, a region on the substrate on which indicia relating to an article mounted to the adhesive can be written, such as by a pen or pencil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The loose-leaf page of claim 1 which further includes a textile article adhered to a portion of the pressure sensitive adhesive from which the release liner has been removed.
