  • Publication number: 20070035215
    Abstract: A surface cover having a polarized adhesive material bonded or operably connected to at least a portion of a substrate. The polarized adhesive material may be hot melt adhesive material. The substrate may have little or no electret capabilities. The electrostatic charge of the polarized adhesive material may allow the surface cover to be removed from a mounting surface for positional adjustment during the application of the surface cover to the mounting surface. Once at its desired location, and/or aligned with the patterns, characters, or images on an adjacent surface cover, the polarized adhesive material may be activated. The adhesive force provided by the activated polarized adhesive material may provide a sufficient force for adhering surface cover along the mounting surface, thereby making the dissipation or loss of electrostatic charge inconsequential to the ability of the surface cover to remain at its desired position along the mounting surface.

  • Publication number: 20050057039
    Abstract: A multiple fold product includes a relatively rigid substrate, such as paperboard, which has upper and lower surfaces. Slots are selectively cut into the substrate at the desired fold locations. The slots divide the substrate into an array of interconnected rectangular sections that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns and which are interconnected by tabs. A first transparent, flexible sheet of material is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate. The first sheet of material has selected intelligence reverse printed on its lower surface such that the printed material is interposed between the substrate and the first sheet of material when the first sheet of transparent material is mounted on the substrate. A second transparent, flexible sheet of material is mounted on the lower surface of the substrate.
