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 at least part of 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-sided 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. In a preferred embodiment, 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.
