  • Patent number: 4054697
    Abstract: A sheet material having a decorative surface and a working surface, for application to a support surface is disclosed, the working surface of which is provided with a continuous coating of tacky, pressure-sensitive, adhesive, which adhesive is provided with a coating of a discontinuous layer of resilient, non-adhesive particles. The coating of particles have the ability to be deformed under a load and thus, upon application to a support surface, deform, under pressure, to such an extent as to bring the adhesive and the surface into fuller contact.

  • Patent number: 3963848
    Abstract: A flexible sheet material provided with a flexible coating of an organic material which is curable on exposure to actinic light to produce a less flexible coating on the sheet. The coated sheet is rolled up for storage in the absence of actinic light such that when the sheet is unrolled and attached to a wall or other surface so exposing the coating to actinic light, a less flexible coating on the sheet results.
