TAPE STRIP PADS AND DISPENSER AND METHOD OF DISPENSING INDIVIDUAL TAPE STRIPS

摘要

A W-stacked pads of tape strips (20) dispensable at a low peel angle, comprising a plurality of superimposed tape strips longitudinally reversed s o as to align the first end of each tape strip (20) with the second end of an immediately overlaying and an immediately underlying tape strip. The individual tape strips (20) having first and second longitudinal end portion s with differential release characteristics, with the second end portion of ea ch tape strip (20) adhered to the first end portion of an adjacent tape strip a t an adhesion level having an adhesive strength sufficient to allow release of the second end portion of an intermediate tape strip relative to the first e nd portion of an immediately underlying tape strip (20) when an immediately overlying tape strip is dispensed from the pad at a low peel angle, while preventing any appreciable longitudinal movement of the second end portion o f an intermediate tape strip relative to the first end portion of an immediate ly underlying tape strip when an immediately overlying tape strip is dispensed from the pad (10) at a high peel angle.
