Apparatus to facilitate separation of layers of material

摘要

An apparatus may have an anti-slip coating covering all or some of the apparatus. The anti-slip coating may also be on an upper surface, lower surface, or both. The apparatus has an aperture to provide for attachment to a key chain ring or other similar objects. The apparatus can come in a number of shapes and sizes and can be designed with ergonomics in mind. The apparatus is generally useful for separating thin plastic layers such as those one encounters with plastic bags. The apparatus is used to provide a frictionable surface to efficiently separate the layers thereby facilitating opening of the plastic bag or similarly thin layers of material.

1. A material separation device comprising:
a tag body having an upper surface and a lower surface with an aperture extending there through; and a UV cured resin disposed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the device,
wherein the UV cured resin either partially covers or fully covers the respective surface,wherein the UV cured resin forms a beveled edge where it meets the edge of the tag body, andwherein the UV cured resin has a coefficient of friction with plastic of about 1 to 2.
