Abstract
An adhesive strip includes an array of apertures that provides additional retention of interlocking bricks. The adhesive strip can include a carrier material. The carrier material can include a plurality of evenly spaced and evenly sized apertures in an array of at least two columns by two rows. The carrier material can include a first carrier material side. The carrier material can include a second carrier material side on an opposite side of the carrier material from the first carrier material side. The adhesive strip can include a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating arranged on the first carrier material side.
Claims20
An adhesive strip comprising:
- a carrier material including
- a plurality of evenly spaced and evenly sized apertures in an array of at least two columns by two rows,
- a first carrier material side, and
- a second carrier material side on an opposite side of the carrier material from the first carrier material side;
- and
- a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating arranged on the first carrier material side.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of interlocking plastic bricks including protrusion posts on protrusion sides of the interlocking plastic bricks and corresponding slots on slot sides of the interlocking plastic bricks for interlocking the plastic bricks;
- obtaining an adhesive strip including a carrier material having an array of evenly spaced and evenly sized apertures in an array of at least two columns by two rows, a first carrier material side, and a second carrier material side opposite from the first carrier material side, where the adhesive strip also includes a first pressure-sensitive adhesive coating arranged on the first carrier material side;
- aligning the adhesive strip so that the interlocking plastic brick protrusion posts on the protrusion side of a first interlocking plastic brick insert into the array of evenly spaced and evenly sized apertures;
- and
- connecting the protrusion side with the adhesive material of the first interlocking plastic brick to a slot side of a second interlocking plastic brick.
An adhesive strip comprising:
- a carrier material including
- a plurality of substantially evenly spaced and evenly sized carrier material circular apertures in an array of at least two columns by two rows of circular apertures, where the carrier material circular apertures have a diameter within a range of 4.7 and 5.1 mm,
- a first carrier material side, and
- a second carrier material side on an opposite side of the carrier material from the first carrier material side;
- and
- a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating arranged on the first carrier material side, where the pressure-sensitive adhesive provides a bond when pressure is applied to marry the pressure-sensitive adhesive to plastic, and where the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating including pressure-sensitive adhesive coating circular apertures aligned with the carrier material circular apertures.
