Abstract:
A flexible hook hanger comprises an elongate sheet of pliable backing, an adhesive layer and a hook element. The backing comprises first and second ends, a first zone positioned adjacent the first end, a second zone positioned adjacent the second end and a central zone positioned between the first and second zones. The adhesive layer is disposed on one side of the backing. The hook element is connected to the central zone. In one embodiment, the pliable backing comprises microstructured tape, and the adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising one or more hydrocarbon block copolymers, and a polar phenolic tackifier. In another embodiment, at least one of the first and second zones includes a peel arrestor. For example, the first zone and the second zone have a first width and a second width, respectively, and the central zone has a third width that is less than at least one of the first width and the second width.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to various improved mounting devices. Some embodiments relate to a mounting device, comprising: a bracket that can be attached to or mounted on a vertical surface with one or more adhesive strips; and one or more mechanical features on the bracket that prevent or minimize an item hung on the bracket from sliding horizontally off the bracket.
Abstract:
An article support assembly includes a stretch releasable adhesive strip having an adhesive portion and a non-adhesive pull tab portion, and a unitary article support member arranged over at least a portion of the adhesive portion of the stretch releasable adhesive strip. The article support member and pull tab are configured so that when the article support member is mounted on a surface using the stretch releasable adhesive strip, the pull tab remains exposed but is visually inconspicuous.
Abstract:
A wall mountable storage assembly including a storage device, at least one mounting plate, and at least one double-faced adhesive. The storage device includes a coupling bracket forming a first engagement feature. The mounting plate forms a second engagement feature. The first and second engagement features have a complimentary construction configured to provide a releasable snap fit connection in which the mounting plate can articulate relative to the coupling bracket. The adhesive is configured to be arranged between the mounting plate and a wall, with the mounting plate articulating relative to the coupling bracket to facilitate complete contact between the adhesive and the wall. The storage device can include two spaced-apart coupling brackets. Two of the mounting plates are provided, each carrying adhesive. The mounting plates can articulate independent of one another, accommodating variations in flatness of the wall to which the storage assembly is mounted.

Abstract:
The inventive tape dispenser (10) includes a cover (30) and a base (50) . The cover includes a forward section (31) , a saddle (32) , a rounded back section(33) , and first and second sidewalls (34, 35) extending downwardly from the forward section and saddle. The forward section of the cover includes a first end (36) from which a means (37) for cutting extends. The base (50) includes a semicircular tape holding portion(51) having a first side (54) opposite a second side (55) , a mounting surface (52) and an inner surface. The inner surface (53) of the base includes a means (56) for gripping the dispenser. The base also includes an arm(60) , a land area(70) extending at an angle from the arm and an edge (80) extending an angle from the land area. The edge is disposed substantially parallel to and proximate to the second sidewall (35) of the cover (30) .
