Both sides of said tape are provided with a contact-adhesive layer.

The tape is characterised in that the contact-adhesive layer on the underside of the contact-adhesive strip is black.

A first self-adhering strip is provided having a first predetermined length (4).

The tape also comprises a backing film (a) with an upper face and an underside, both the upper face and the underside of said tape being provided with a respective contact-adhesive layer (b, b' ).

The contact-adhesive layer on at least one side of the contact-adhesive tape is black.

A second cushioning strip overlies a portion, and is bonded to an upper surface of the first self-adhering strip (11, 12).

A tape dispenser (10) facilitates one hand dispensing of pressure sensitive adhesive tape (50) directly onto a substrate (52) and cutting of the tape immediately after dispensing about 1/8-1/4 inch off the substrate.

The present invention provides an apparatus for dispensing a roll of material such as a pressure sensitive adhesive tape.

A coat of adhesive material is applied to a portion of a bottom surface of the first self-adhering strip.

A method and apparatus (20) for forming coreless rolls (15) of pressure sensitive adhesive tape involves the use of a mandrel assembly (55) having a specific circumferential tape supporting segment (234) thereon for winding tape.

The invention relates to a contact-adhesive tape, in particular for producing or bonding optical liquid crystal data displays (LCDs).

The innermost wrap (72) of pressure sensitive adhesive tape about the mandrel (55) is masked by an adhesive liner (73).

Use pressure-sensitive adhesive tape (packing tape), water-activated reinforced tape, or water-activated paper tape (minimum 60-lb [27-kg] grade) that measures at least 2” (5 cm) in width.

A pressure sensitive tape which has a substrate comprised of a carrier substrate having a polymeric film extruded on both sides thereof to control the tearability of the tape.

Comes with a self-latching jaw which enhances security level.
