  • Publication number: 20220186080
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an adhesive material includes a backing material including a first edge and a second edge positioned opposite of the first edge. An adhesive is applied to a first side of the backing material. The first side of the backing material includes an adhesive-free region positioned between the first edge and the second edge and the backing material is structured to facilitate separation of the backing material along a predetermined path in the adhesive-free region. In one aspect, the predetermined path is formed by a number of predefined features such as perforations or indentations, although other variables are possible.

  • Patent number: 9868383
    Abstract: A retention device for physically restraining undesired movement of an article during transport of the article. Retention devices may include a first surface, a first set of protrusions extending outward from the first surface, a second surface, and a second set of protrusions extending outward from the second surface. Each protrusion in the first set of protrusions may be shaped to engage a floor of a transport vehicle. Each protrusion in the second set of protrusions may be shaped to engage an article positioned in the transport vehicle. The first surface and the second surface may be aligned along different planes at an angular offset. During transport of an article, the first set of protrusions engage with a floor of the transport vehicle, and the second set of protrusions engage with the article.
