TEMPORARILY POSITIONABLE MELTABLE ADHESIVES FOR SHOE AND APPAREL ASSEMBLY

摘要

Layers of an item may be temporarily assembled using a tacky surface on an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may be activated by the application of energy to cause it to partially or entirely melt to bond layers together. The tacky layer may permit layers to be moved after initial positioning if the positioning is not acceptable. A tacky layer may cover all or part of the surface of an adhesive layer to permit the adhesive to flow without hindrance when activated.
