Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for adhering a length of continuous substrate to a mounting surface is disclosed. The continuous substrate can be attached to a mounting surface by a regular array of spaced apart adhesive segments disposed longitudinally along the continuous substrate and between the mounting surface and the continuous substrate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A storage system for a continuous substrate, the system comprising: a reel; and a continuous substrate attached to a liner by an array of discontinuous adhesive segments disposed along the length of the continuous substrate wherein, the continuous substrate disposed on the liner is wrapped around the reel, wherein the continuous substrate is a communications line. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive segments are disposed between the liner and the continuous substrate. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the continuous substrate is disposed between the liner and a portion of the adhesive segments. 4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the adhesive segments comprise an adhesive layer and a non-tacky cover layer. 5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications line is one of an optical fiber, a fiber optic ribbon cable, a fiber optic drop cable, an electrical wire, a coaxial cable and a micro-coaxial cable. 6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive segments has one of a rectangular profile, an elliptical profile, a diamond shaped profile and a circular profile. 7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the continuous substrate has a form factor (length versus width) of at least 25 to 1. 8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the continuous substrate has a form factor (length versus width) of at least 50 to 1. 9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the continuous substrate has a form factor (length versus width) of at least 100 to 1.
