Abstract
A magnetic clip is provided having two magnetic components to create a low-cost, thin, soft magnetic vise-like mechanism. The magnetic components are disposed in individual stickers or a unitary sticker. The clip includes an adhesive layer to which a real banknote may be removably attached. The user can simply peel back the banknote to open the magnetic vise-like mechanism to insert or remove one or more banknotes. The user then folds the substrate back onto itself to close and secure the remaining banknote(s).
Claims7
A magnetic clip sticker assembly comprising:
- a flexible substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a pair of magnetic components;
- a double-sided adhesive tape having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the magnetic components residing between the first surface of the double-sided adhesive tape and the second surface of the flexible substrate at spaced locations, each location being on a respective side of a central region of the flexible substrate;
- a removable liner attached to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer,
- wherein the second surface of the double-sided adhesive tape has a pressure sensitive adhesive layer configured to attach the double-sided adhesive tape to a paper-based substrate, and configured so that when the double-sided adhesive tape is removed from the paper-based substrate the pressure sensitive adhesive on the second surface of the double-sided adhesive tape does not damage the paper-based substrate;
- and
- wherein at least the flexible substrate and the double-sided tape of the magnetic clip sticker have smaller areas than the paper-based substrate, whereby when attached to one side of the paper-based substrate the flexible substrate and the double-sided adhesive tape do not extend beyond peripheral edges of the paper-based substrate and cannot be seen directly from another opposite side of the paper-based substrate.
