Flat laminate part consisting of a substrate layer, a cover layer and an auxiliary pull-off means for the cover layer
First Claim

1. A flat laminate part comprising:
- a flexible substrate layer having at least one surface;
a cover layer at least partially on the one surface of said substrate layer;
means for effecting adhesion of said cover layer to said surface of the substrate layer in the area of said cover layer such that the layers are securely held together but may be pulled apart;
a substantially continuous cut or preset breaking line in said cover layer from one edge to another edge of said cover layer thereby separating the cover layer into two parts, at least parts of said cut or preset breaking line respectively diverting substantially from a straight connection line between the end points of the cut at the edges of the cover layer into each part of said cover layer to define the locations of grasp parts; and
stiffened areas in said cover layer surrounding said cut or preset breaking line and including at least the grasp part locations defined within said diverting parts of said cut or preset breaking line;
the stiffness of said stiffened areas and the adhesion between said substrate layer and said cover layer being such that, upon bending of the flat laminate part substantially along said straight connection line between the end points of said cut at the edges of said cover layer in a direction which produces a convex curvature of the exposed surface convexly on the side of the cover layer, said diverting parts of said cut or preset breaking line into each part of the cover layer are separated and peeled off from the substrate layer to thereby expose the grasp parts.

Abstract
The present invention is related to a flat laminate part consisting of a substrate layer and a cover layer having an auxiliary pull-off means to so pull-off said cover layer or parts of said cover layer said auxiliary pull-off means comprising a preset cut or cuts or a preset breaking line or lines in said cover layer, said auxiliary pull-off means being improved by having a stiffened area in the surrounding of the preset cuts or preset breaking lines in order to facilitate the producing of the grasp parts for pulling off said cover layer or parts of said cover layer.

9. A flat laminate part comprising:
-
a flexible substrate having at least one surface; a cover layer at least partially on the one surface of said substrate layer; means for effecting adhesion of said cover layer to said surface of the substrate layer in the area of said cover layer such that the layers are securely held together but may be pulled apart; a substantially continuous cut or preset breaking line in said cover layer representing a closed geometrical form not touching any edge of said cover layer, portions of said cut or preset breaking line being formed as projections to define the locations of grasp parts; stiffened areas in said cover layer surrounding said portions of said cut or preset breaking line and including at least the defined grasp part locations; the stiffness of said stiffened areas and the adhesion between said substrate layer and said cover layer being such, that upon bending of the flat laminate part substantially along a side of the closed geometrical form in a direction which produces a convex curvature of the exposed surface of the cover layer, the grasp part portions of said closed form are separated and peeled off from the substrate layer and thus exposed.
