High temperature resistant masking devices with tabs
DCFirst Claim
1. A device for masking a surface including an upwardly-extending tab for gripping the masking device, comprising:
- a two-piece masking-device substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, said masking-device substrate comprising;
a first discrete substrate element having a fold line defining a base portion surface; and
a first upwardly-extending side member portion including a first surface;
a second discrete substrate element having a fold line defining a base portion and a second upwardly extending side member portion including a second surface, said side member portions being configured and arranged such that the side member portion first and second surfaces abut one another; and
an adhesive on the abutting side member portion first and second surfaces, said adhesive joining the first and second discrete substrate elements such that the side member portions form the gripable tab extending upwardly from the masking-device substrate top surface; and
an adhesive on the masking-device substrate bottom surface, said adhesive selected such that the masking-device substrate is removable from a surface to which the masking device is attached.

Abstract
A high temperature resistant masking device (10) comprising a substrate having a top surface (26) and a bottom surface (28) with an adhesive applied to the bottom surface (28) of the substrate for removable attachment to a masking surface. The masking device (10) includes a pull tab (12) extending upwardly from the device'"'"'s center portion for facilitating easy placement and removal of the masking device (10) from the masking surface. The masking devices (10) are die-cut into various shapes and sizes, and placed on rolls of release liner so that they may be readily applied to parts requiring masking during a painting or coating process.

19. A masking device comprising:
-
a two-piece masking-device substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface and a tab projecting from the top surface, said substrate comprising;
a first discrete substrate element having a fold line defining a base portion and a first side member portion including a bottom surface; and
a second discrete substrate element having a fold line defining a base portion and a second side member portion including a bottom surface, said first and second side member portion bottom surfaces being joined together to form the masking-device substrate and the tab projecting therefrom; and
an adhesive on the masking-device substrate bottom surface, said adhesive selected such that the masking-device substrate is removable from a surface to which the masking device is attached. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
