First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of applying a covering to a structure, in a manner that permits the covering to be multiply repositioned, the method comprising the step of:
- a) providing a contact responsive fastener comprising (i) a connecting means, and (ii) a contact responsive fastening layer that has essentially no surface tack and a low 90°
peel strength of from at least 0.061 kN/m to about 5.0 kN/m to a glass target surface after a 2 minute dwell time at room temperature;
b) attaching the contact responsive fastener to the structure by means of the connecting means; and
c) contacting the contact responsive fastening layer with a target portion of the covering so that the covering is in repositionable attachment to the contact responsive fastening layer.

Abstract
A multi-cycle refastenable contact responsive non-tacky fastener system and method of use with a field of a contact responsive fastening layer having essentially no surface tack. The fastening layer is multiply releasable and refastenable against a non-tacky target surface, and has substantially constant 90° peel strength of less than about 5 kN/m when in contact with the target surface. A mounting layer comprises a field of a pressure sensitive adhesive onto which the field of the contact responsive layer is directly attached.
