Abstract
A hand tool is provided for removing a secondary liner from a tape carrier of a two-sided adhesive tape where the opposing primary side of the tape carrier is attached to a surface. The hand tool includes a handle. One end of the handle may include a handle fulcrum depending from the handle. A plurality of sharp points together define a mathematical line. The plurality of sharp points also define point axes which together define a mathematical plane. The mathematical line is coincident with the mathematical plane. The mathematical plane defines an acute angle with respect to the handle and to the handle fulcrum.
Claims21
A hand tool apparatus for removing a secondary liner covering a secondary pressure-sensitive adhesive, the secondary pressure-sensitive adhesive being disposed on a secondary side of a tape carrier of a two-sided tape when an opposing primary side of the tape carrier is attached to a surface, the secondary liner having an exposed secondary liner surface, the hand tool apparatus comprising:
- a. a pointed member,
- b. a plurality of sharp points supported by the pointed member, each sharp point defining a point axis coincident with the corresponding sharp point, the point axes of the plurality of sharp points together defining a mathematical plane, the plurality of sharp points together defining a mathematical line coincident with the mathematical plane;
- c. a handle attached to and supporting the pointed member, the handle being grippable by a user;
- d. a handle fulcrum depending from the handle and configured for engagement with the exposed secondary liner surface, the mathematical plane defined by the point axes intersecting the exposed liner surface at an acute angle when the handle fulcrum and sharp points are in engagement with the exposed secondary liner surface and with the mathematical line coextensive with the exposed secondary liner surface.
