  • Patent number: 6331335
    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.
