摘要 |
The invention relates to a hot melt adhesive attachment pad for releasably securing distinct elements together and particularly useful in the construction industry or a spatial vacuum environment. The attachment pad consists primarily of a cloth 11 selectively impregnated with a charge of hot melt adhesive 12, a thermo-foil heater 13 and a thermo-cooler 14. These components are securely mounting in a mounting assembly 17 and 18. In operation, the operator activates the heating cycle transforming the hot melt adhesive to a substantially liquid state, positions the pad against the attachment surface, and activates the cooling cycle solidifying the adhesive and forming a strong, releasable bond.
