Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to an adhesive tab for temporarily attaching pieces of clothing to each other and more particularly to a two- sided adhesive tab for releasably attaching juxtaposed pieces of cloth, such as with ties, scarfs, shoulder pads, and the like.
  • Temporary and adjustable fasteners for example tie tacks for ties and brooches for scarves, are also known. However, these often pierce or roughly grip the cloth to which they are attached. In addition, it is generally important that they be decorative, since they tend to be highly visible.
  • the present invention provides an unobtrusive way of temporarily attaching pieces of clothing together and further provides for convenient handling of the tab when it is initially removed from the package, and subsequently when it is handled while removing or rearranging the tab after initial placement.
  • This invention provides an inconspicuous and relatively stiff tab with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on both sides. This allows a user to position the tab between two pieces of cloth to be attached to each other and to adhesively attach them to each by pressing them together.
  • the attachment is temporary in that the tab may be removed for release, reuse or repositioning merely by pulling the attached pieces apart and then grasping the tab directly.
  • the tab is made with a relatively stiff though thin substrate of plastic film which aids in the handling of the tab. It may also be made of a transparent substrate and a relatively transparent adhesive so that the tab is relatively transparent.
  • the tab may be provided with a dry edge, that is, a zone along one edge that is free of adhesive on both sides of the substrate. This creates a portion of the tab that does not adhere to the cloth in use, or to the carrier or release liner when stored, as will be described in greater detail below.
  • This dry edge is sized for convenient grasping between the thumb and forefinger of the user. It allows for the handling of the tab without compromising the adhesive layers of the tab by directly touching them and possibly contaminating with oil and dirt from the hands of the user.
  • the dry edge also helps prevent soiling of the clothing by the tab; the adhesive tends to pick up dirt or oil if handled directly and therefore may carry that and deposit it on the clothing.
  • the dry edge also facilitates removal of release liner from the top surface of the tab by providing an unattached edge of the release liner that is easily grasped. It further facilities the removal of the tab from a carrier sheet by providing an unattached edge of the plastic strip that is easily grasped to peel the tab off the carrier sheet.
  • the adhesive used on the tab ideally has a sufficient degree of solubility in soap and water or in dry cleaning fluid so that, if the tab is left attached to the clothing when the clothing is washed or dry cleaned, the adhesive is washed or dry cleaned off of the tab, and the tab is no longer adhered to the cloth. In addition, if any adhesive comes off the tab and remains attached to the cloth after the tab is removed, that adhesive is readily washed or dry cleaned off the clothing when the clothing is cleaned.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the tab of the invention with the release liner removed and with the tab gripped between the thumb and forefinger of a human hand;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of a tab of the invention with the protective release liner in place and with the tab attached to a carrier sheet;
  • FIG. 3 is a planar top view of a plurality of the tabs installed on a carrier sheet and juxtaposed beside an envelope of the package for said tabs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the adhesive tab 10 for securing clothing. It comprises a plastic strip 11 which is coated on both the top surface and the bottom surface with layers of adhesive 12, 14 respectively.
  • the plastic strip 11 may be of a clear plastic film such as polyester with a thickness for example, of .025 millimeters where coated with adhesive and .05 millimeters where uncoated as at 20. It may be sized appropriately for its use, for example 22 millimeters x 32 millimeters or 19 millimeters x 32 millimeters.
  • a release liner 16 overlays the top layer of adhesive 12 and the • entire top surface of the plastic strip.
  • the adhesive layers 12, 14 carried on the upper and lower surface of the plastic strip 11 are of a material with greater adhesive affinity for the plastic strip and for itself than for the pieces of cloth to which it will be attached. This allows for use of the adhesive tab 10 on clothing without leaving adhesive residue on the clothing when the tab is removed.
  • the adhesive selected is sufficiently soluble in soap and water or in dry cleaning fluid so that any residue deposited on the clothing will readily be washed or dry cleaned off the clothing. If the tab 10 is left on the clothing when the clothing is washed or dry cleaned, the adhesive would wash off the plastic strip 11 and the plastic strip would then be washed away.
  • a useful adhesive with these properties might be, for example, the rubber R-40 adhesive offered for sale by 3M Industrial Specialties Division.
  • the adhesive on the preferred embodiment does not cover the entire upper surface of the plastic strip 11, nor does it cover the entire lower surface.
  • There is a zone 20 of the tab 10 which does not have adhesive coating on either the top or bottom surface of the plastic strip. This zone may be described as a dry edge.
  • the plastic strip 11 may be thicker at the dry edge, for example .05 millimeter, then elsewhere where it may be, for example, .025 millimeter, and the adhesive layer may be, for example .0125 millimeter.
  • the .025 millimeter area of the plastic strip is overlain with two .0125 millimeter layers of adhesive for a total thickness of .05 millimeter.
  • the dry edge 20 has a thickness of .05 millimeter that the tab 10 is of uniform thickness throughout.
  • the dry edge 20 extends along the entire width of the tab. Since the release liner 16 covers the entire plastic strip 11 including the dry edge, the dry edge provides for a region where the release liner is not adhesively attached to the tab 10. This allows for easy grasping of the edge of the release liner to peel it off of the tab. In addition, if the tab is attached to a carrier sheet 18 as will be described below, the dry edge is not attached to the underlying carrier sheet. The dry edge thus presents a convenient area at which to grasp the tab to easily peel it off of the carrier sheet.
  • the dry edge 20 is of an appropriate size to be easily grasped between the forefinger and thumb of an adult human, for example 6.5 millimeter inch deep along the entire width of a tab. It is thus useful for handling the tab to place it on an article of clothing, or to remove the tab from an article of clothing. Since it provides in essence a handle that is not part of the adhesive portion of the tab 10, it is possible to handle the tab without touching the adhesive layers 12, 14. This allows for ease of handling since the tab will not stick to the fingers of a user and the user will not deposit oil or dirt on the adhesive material. If oil or dirt were to be deposited onto the adhesive layers, the adhesive ability of those layers would be compromised. In addition, a soiled tab might soil a garment on which it is placed.
  • a tab 10 When stored or carried, a tab 10 may be located on a carrier sheet 18 which may contain multiple tabs, possibly of different sizes.
  • the carrier sheet is made of an appropriate material such as silicon impregnated or coated paper which has loose adhesion to the tab 10 but does not have significant residue that would separate from the carrier sheet and coat the adhesive layer 14 of the tab when it is removed.
  • the tab is thus affixed to the sheet but is easily removed by peeling the tab away from the carrier sheet, without any ' significant loss of adhesive material onto the carrier sheet or significant compromise of the adhesive ability of the tab by coating of the adhesive layer with residue from the carrier sheet.
  • the carrier sheet 18 may be folded in half and placed into an opened ended envelope 22. That envelope is open at both its ends, 24,26. One end 26 has a curved portion 28 cut-out of the edge.
  • the carrier sheet is of a size and shape such that when it is folded in the middle 30 it is approximately as wide as the envelope and thus fits snugly into the envelope
  • the release liner 16 described above may be printed with indicia such as parallel lines 32 to indicate the location of the dry edge 20.
  • the release liner thus serve the dual function of protecting the adhesive layer before use, and indicating to the user where the dry edge is located so that the tab may be conveniently grasped to remove the release liner, peel the tab off the carrier strip, and handle the tab without the clumsy and frustrating problem of grasping the tab on its adhesive surface.
  • a person might have a package consisting of multiple tabs affixed to a folded carrier sheet 18 in an envelope 22. He or she could remove the folded carrier sheet from the envelope by pushing it directly at the cut-out 28 to push the other end of the folded carrier sheet part way out of the envelope and then grasping the exposed part and pulling out the carrier sheet all the way out, or by pulling it directly at the location of the cut-out.
  • the carrier sheet could then be unfolded, and the user could select the tab he or she wished to use.
  • the user could locate the dry edge 20, and at that location, grasp the release liner and peel it off of the adhesive top layer 12. He or she could then grasp the tab at the dry edge and peel it off the carrier sheet 18. Holding the dry edge between the forefinger and the thumb so as to avoid touching either adhesive layer 12, 14, the user could place the tab 10 between two pieces of cloth to be secured to each other, for example between the two lengths of a necktie or between a scarf and the shoulder of a dress. The items of clothing are then pressed together at the location of the tab, and the do ⁇ ble-sided adhesive tab acts to fasten them together.
  • the tab could be easily grasped at the location of the dry edge and pulled loose. Since there would be no need to handle the tab on its adhesive surfaces, and since the adhesive material would remain on the strip rather than be left on the cloth, the adhesive nature of the tab would not be compromised and the tab could be reused or repositioned without significant loss of adhesive ability. If the tab was inadvertently left attached to the clothing, and the clothing then washed or dry cleaned, the tab would be removed since the adhesive material would dissolve in the soap and water or dry cleaning fluid and the remaining plastic strip would then be washed away.

Abstract

Une languette (10) est munie d'adhésif (12, 14) sur ses deux faces et permet de fixer ensemble des parties d'un vêtement. Elle est de préférence constituée d'un substrat en plastique clair relativement rigide (11) recouvert d'un adhésif (12, 14) sur la plus grande partie de ses deux côtés. Elle comporte un bord dépourvu d'adhésif (20), ce qui facilite sa manipulation et offre un endroit permettant de saisir facilement le papier de décollement (16). L'adhésif utilisé reste sur la languette et reste sur le tissu sous la forme d'un résidu collant lorsqu'on retire la languette. Cet adhésif est également soluble dans l'eau savonneuse et dans les produits de nettoyage à sec, ce qui facilite son élimination.
