Abstract

An attachment system for attaching a first component and a second component includes a dual sided tape assembly having a dual sided tape, a release liner having a pull-down peel tab and a base release liner releasably attached to the dual sided tape, and a retainer for holding the pull-down peel tab to the base. The retainer may be either a sleeve or an adhesive pad. If the retainer is a sleeve, the release liner includes an intermediate portion between the pull-down peel tab and the base. Folded areas exist between the pull-down peel tab, the intermediate area, and the base. A portion of the intermediate portion passes through the sleeve. If retainer is an adhesive pad, the adhesive pad is attached to the base. The pull-down peel tab is temporarily attached to the adhesive pad when initially installed on a substrate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An attachment system for attaching one component to another component, the system comprising:
a dual sided tape having adhesive sides;
a release liner having a pull-down peel tab and a base connected to said tab by a fold, said base being releasably attached to said tape; and
a sleeve for holding said tab to said base, said sleeve being attached to said base, a portion of said release liner extending through said sleeve.

2. The attachment system of claim 1 wherein said release liner includes an intermediate portion between said pull-down peel tab and said base and a folded area connecting said intermediate portion and said base.

3. The attachment system of claim 2 further including a folded area connecting said pull-down peel tab and said intermediate portion.

4. The attachment system of claim 3 wherein part of said intermediate portion passes though said sleeve.

5. An attachment system for attaching one component to another component, the system comprising:
a dual sided tape having adhesive sides;
a release liner having a pull-down peel tab and a base connected to said tab by a fold, said base being releasably attached to said tape; and
a sleeve for holding said tab to said base, said sleeve being attached to said base, a portion of said release liner extending through said sleeve,
said release liner including an intermediate portion between said pull-down peel tab and said base and a folded area connecting said intermediate portion and said base.

6. The attachment system of claim 5 further including a folded area connecting said pull-down peel tab and said intermediate portion.

7. The attachment system of claim 6 wherein part of said intermediate portion passes though said sleeve.

8. An attachment system for attaching one component to another component, the system comprising:
a dual sided tape having adhesive sides;
a release liner having a pull-down peel tab and a base connected to said tab by a fold, said base being releasably attached to said tape; and
a sleeve for holding said tab to said base, said sleeve being attached to said base, a portion of said release liner extending through said sleeve,
said release liner including an intermediate portion between said pull-down peel tab and said base and a folded area connecting said intermediate portion and said base, part of said intermediate portion passing though said sleeve.

9. The attachment system of claim 8 further including a folded area connecting said pull-down peel tab and said intermediate portion.
