Claims11
An article having an adhesive surface and a cover layer for protecting the adhesive surface, said cover layer including a transferable component removably adhered to but not filling indentations in a surface of the cover layer facing the adhesive surface such that said component is not in direct contact with the adhesive surface but is separated therefrom by an empty space.
A method of producing an article having an adhesive surface and a cover layer for protecting the adhesive surface comprising the steps of:
- forming an indentation in a surface of said cover layer facing said adhesive layer;
- placing a transferable component within said indentation such that said indentation is only partially filled;
- laminating said cover layer with said adhesive layer using a level of pressure insufficient to bring said component into direct contact with said adhesive layer such that said cover layer may thereafter be removed from said adhesive layer without any transfer of said component from said cover layer to said adhesive layer.
A method of applying an article having an adhesive surface and a cover layer for protecting the adhesive surface, said cover layer having a transferable component removably adhered within each of a plurality of indentations in a surface of said cover layer facing said adhesive layer such that an empty space separates said components from said adhesive layer, comprising the steps of:
- pressing said cover layer against said adhesive layer to bring at least one of said components into contact with at least a portion of said adhesive layer, said component adhering to said portion when brought into contact therewith;
- removing said cover layer;
- and
- applying said adhesive layer, with said component adhered thereto, to skin.
