Abstract: A combination vehicle interior trim component and an anti-shatter self-adhesive tape member to prevent fragmentation or shattering of the component during an air-bag deployment in an interior of a vehicle, and methods of making and using the combination.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a plastic spacer/riser to increase useable height of a reclosable fastening system, such as 3M™ Dual Lock™ or Velcro® hook and loop products. The spacer/riser is adapted to be held in place on an external substrate with hot-melt glue, sonic welds, pressure-sensitive adhesives, acrylic foam tape, or screws.

Abstract: A tape product and method of preparing a corpse for embalming or viewing by closing an open wound on the corpse to form a wound slit, applying to the wound slit a pre-cut clear polyolefin adhesive tape patch, and, when desired, blending the patch with skin color. The product is a pre-cut clear tape member to cover, close and seal a wound or scar on a corpse and essentially to replace skin on the corpse for viewing or embalming purposes, and comes in roll form or flat form with or without a release liner.

Abstract: A personalizable, removable, self-adhesive film product having: a film member provided with a writable/printable surface on a first surface of the film member; a removable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adjacent a second surface of the film member; the first surface of the film member is opposite the second surface of the film member; and a release liner adjacent the adhesive layer and remote from the film member.

Abstract: A tray device that serves as a shipping tray and an assembly fixture to align a fabricated tape assembly in the bonding of steel locating hinge washers to a hinge assembly to facilitate doors-off/door-on processing through an automotive trim shop. The adhesive bonding system cures during the cathodic electro-cost primer bake cycle. The adhesive maintains an intimate, positive contact with both metal surfaces ensuring adequate bonding performance and maximized bonding surface area during a defined heat or bake cycle.

Abstract: A non-reusable quick release wire strap to retain wires, cables, and harness assemblies temporarily during transit or assembly operations. The plastic retention strap has double-coated foam tape near one end of the strap. The strap is wound around the wires to be retained, and then stuck to itself. To release the strap, a user grabs a plastic tab of the strap and pulls, thereby causing the tape to tear and ultimately to fail.

Abstract: A self-adhesive strap to hold wires or other components permanently using a self-adhesive backed, flexible high strength carrier member as the main component of wire strap or harness. The strap has adhesive on the opposite side of the carrier member to facilitate bonding to a substrate, such as a wall. The strap replaces mechanically retained wire clips as straps. To apply the self-adhesive wire strap, first the back liner is removed and the adhesive is attached to the substrate; then the larger piece of liner is removed using the extended tab and the wire is placed against adhesive; and finally the strap is folded against itself and pushed together, adhesive to adhesive.

Abstract: A strap to hold wires or other components permanently or semi-permanently, using a flexible high strength carrier member as the main component of the strap. The strap replaces mechanically retained wire clips. To apply the wire strap, first the back liner is removed and the adhesive or tape member is attached to a substrate. Then the main member is folded over the object to be held and is placed against adhesive, or a hook and loop fastener is employed.
