Abstract
Abstract An adhesive form assembly for mounting a detachable form to a surface such as a car window. One version of a form assembly includes a two-sided form, an attachment strip surrounding the two-sided form, and a liner strip substantially coextensive with the attachment strip. The two-sided form may have one or two sheets, comprising a porous material such as paper suitable for type or hand-writing on both sides. To adhere the two-side form to a surface, the liner strip is removed to expose the adhesive layer of the attachment strip and then the exposed adhesive is placed against the surface. To remove the two-sided form from the surface, the two-sided form is detached from the attachment strip without damage because the two-sided form is removably attached to the attachment strip by a perforation. Information may be added to the two-sided form while attached to or separate from a surface. The form assembly also includes a cover sheet for creating duplicate copies of the form. In another embodiment, the form assembly may include a chemical coating between a liner sheet and a two-sided form for creating duplicate copies of the form.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A form assembly for attaching a form to a surface, comprising: a two-sided form having an outer periphery; an attachment strip surrounding the outer periphery of the two-sided form and having an inner and outer side, the two-sided form removably attached to the attachment strip by a line of weakness; an adhesive layer on the inner side of the attachment strip; and a liner strip substantially coextensive only with the attachment strip, the liner strip being removable from the attachment strip to expose the adhesive layer for adhering the attachment strip and thereby the two-sided form to the surface, the two-sided form being detachable from the attachment strip for removal of the form from the surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A form assembly for attaching a form to a surface, comprising: a two-sided form having an outer periphery; an attachment strip surrounding the outer periphery of the two-sided form and having an inner and outer side, the two-sided form removably attached to the attachment strip by a line of weakness; an adhesive layer on the inner side of the attachment strip; and a liner strip substantially coextensive only with the attachment strip, the liner strip being removable from the attachment strip to expose the adhesive layer for adhering the attachment strip and thereby the two-sided form to the surface, the two-sided form being detachable from the attachment strip for removal of the form from the surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
