Abstract
Load restraint strips used to secure loads in a cargo container may comprise separation zones. A separation zone of a load restraint strip may be severed during removal of an attachment region of that load restraint strip from a cargo container wall. This allows removing portions of the load restraint strip separately, thereby reducing force needed to peel an attachment region away from a cargo container wall.
Claims20
A load restraint strip comprising:
- a polymer film base layer extending continuously from a first end of the load restraint strip to a second end of the load restraint strip and from a first side edge of the load restraint strip to a second side edge of the load restraint strip, wherein
- a length of the base layer, from the first end to the second end, is greater than a width of the base layer from the first side edge to the second side edge,
- a first face of the base layer forms an exposed face of the load restraint strip, and
- the base layer comprises, in a separation zone that extends from the first end and that is located between the first side edge and the second side edge, one or more rows of perforations that extend through the base layer from the first face to an opposite second face of the base layer;
- a reinforcement layer comprising a first reinforcement zone, extending from the first side edge to a first side of the separation zone and comprising a first plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer, and a second reinforcement zone, extending from a second side of the separation zone to the second side edge and comprising a second plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer bonded to the reinforcement layer and located in an adhesive region near the first end, wherein a length of the adhesive region is less than the length of the base layer.

A load restraint strip comprising:
- a base layer extending continuously from a first end of the load restraint strip to a second end of the load restraint strip and from a first side edge of the load restraint strip to a second side edge of the load restraint strip, wherein
- a length of the base layer, from the first end to the second end, is greater than a width of the base layer from the first side edge to the second side edge,
- a first face of the base layer forms an exposed face of the load restraint strip, and
- the base layer comprises, in a separation zone that extends from the first end and that is located between the first side edge and the second side edge, one or more rows of perforations that extend through the base layer from the first face to an opposite second face of the base layer;
- a reinforcement layer comprising a first reinforcement zone, extending from the first side edge to a first side of the separation zone and comprising a first plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer, and a second reinforcement zone, extending from a second side of the separation zone to the second side edge and comprising a second plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer;
- and
- an adhesive layer bonded to the reinforcement layer and located in an adhesive region near the first end, wherein
- a length of the load restraint strip is at least 9 feet, a width of the load restraint strip is at least 16 inches, and a length of the adhesive layer is between 2 and 6 feet.

A load restraint strip comprising:
- a polymer film base layer extending continuously from a first end of the load restraint strip to a second end of the load restraint strip and from a first side edge of the load restraint strip to a second side edge of the load restraint strip, wherein
- a length of the base layer, from the first end to the second end, is greater than a width of the base layer from the first side edge to the second side edge,
- a first face of the base layer forms an exposed face of the load restraint strip, and
- the base layer comprises, in a separation zone that extends from the first end and that is located between the first side edge and the second side edge, one or more rows of perforations that extend through the base layer from the first face to an opposite second face of the base layer;
- a reinforcement layer comprising a first reinforcement zone, extending from the first side edge to a first side of the separation zone and comprising a first plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer, and a second reinforcement zone, extending from a second side of the separation zone to the second side edge and comprising a second plurality of substantially parallel strands bonded to the second face of the base layer;
- a first adhesive layer bonded to the reinforcement layer and located in an adhesive region near the first end;
- and
- a second adhesive layer bonded to the reinforcement layer and located in an adhesive region near the second end, wherein a portion of an exterior face of the load restraint strip separates the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.
