Abstract: A method for adhesively adhering rubber components which comprises placing adjacent to the surfaces of the pieces to be joined a continuous, non-perforated metallic foil strip, which absorbs electromagnetic waves. The strip, which is contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material, is positioned between the pieces and exposed to electromagnetic waves while the pieces are held together to form a bonded relationship between the pieces.

Abstract: A method for adhering glass products to a work surface which comprises placing adjacent to the surfaces of the pieces to be joined a continuous, non-perforated metallic foil strip, which absorbs electromagnetic waves. The strip which is contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material, is positioned between the pieces and exposed to electromagnetic waves while the pieces are held together to form a bonded relationship between the pieces.

Abstract: A method for adhesively assembling milled wood products which comprises placing adjacent to the surfaces of the pieces to be joined a continuous, non-perforated metallic foil strip, which absorbs electromagnetic waves. The strip, which is contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material, is positioned between the pieces and exposed to electromagnetic waves while the pieces are held together to form a bonded relationship between the pieces.

Abstract: A method for adhesively assembling cellulosic products which comprises placing adjacent to the surfaces of the pieces to be joined a continuous, non-perforated metallic foil strip, which absorbs electromagnetic waves. The strip, which is contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material, is positioned between the pieces and exposed to electromagnetic waves while the pieces are held together to form a bonded relationship between the cellulosic pieces.

Abstract: A method for adhesively assembling plastic products which comprises placing adjacent to the surfaces of the pieces to be joined a continuous, non-perforated metallic foil strip, which absorbs electromagnetic waves. The strip, which is contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material, is positioned between the pieces and exposed to electromagnetic waves while the pieces are held together to form a bonded relationship between the plastic pieces.

Abstract: A fastening device, which will facilitate the assembly of associated parts or manufactured articles, features a conductive target material for absorbing electromagnetic waves and converting wave energy to heat; an assembly element, contiguous with the target material, which expands upon exposure to heat emanating from the target material; and a solid adhesive material, contiguous with the conductive target material, which will become adhesively active and effect the adherence of the associated parts upon exposure to heat emanating from the target material.

Abstract: A clean, neat and effective method for adhering roll goods to a work surface entails placing adjacent to the surfaces to be joined a device which comprises: a target element contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material said target element being absorbent of electromagnetic waves which are convertible to heat energy to activate said adhesive material, holding said surfaces together, and exposing said device to electromagnetic waves to produce heat sufficient to activate the adhesive material to effect a bonded relationship between the roll goods and the work surface.

Abstract: A clean, neat and effective method for adhering millwork to a work surface entails placing adjacent to the surfaces to be joined a device which comprises: a target element contiguous with a heat activatable adhesive material said target element being absorbent of electromagnetic waves which are convertible to heat energy to activate said adhesive material, holding said surfaces together, and exposing said device to electromagnetic waves to produce heat sufficient to activate the adhesive material to effect a bonded relationship between the millwork and the work surface.

Abstract: An adhesive device, featuring a target element, absorptive of electromagnetic waves, contiguous with a heat-activatable adhesive material, shaped into an article having a mathematically smooth perimeter, will facilitate a quick, neat, easy and secure assembly of associated component pieces or manufactured articles. Exposing the device to electromagnetic waves will produce heat energy which will activate the adhesive material and result in the bonding of the associated component pieces. This adhesive device is particularly beneficial when used within or between pieces to be assembled that are substantially transparent to electromagnetic waves.
