Roll of adhesive segments for use in an adhesive segment applicator apparatus and method of making the same

摘要

A carrier release tape having pressure-sensitive adhesive segments attached thereto is disclosed which has an indexing mechanism thereupon to facilitate the dispensing of individual adhesive segments from a handheld adhesive segment applicator apparatus. The indexing mechanism consists of a plurality of patterned scores, cuts, or indentations located in the surface of the carrier release tape, thereby allowing for an advancement mechanism in the handheld adhesive segment applicator apparatus to engage the carrier release tape. The indexed adhesive segment-laden carrier release tape may thereby be dispensed by the handheld mechanical adhesive segment applicator apparatus.
