A substrate usable with a double-side adhesive strip to suspend the substrate to a wall surface. The substrate can have one or more access holes located within an outer perimeter of the substrate. Each access hole has an inner perimeter inwardly of the outer perimeter that is sized and shaped to allow a tab of the double-sided adhesive strip to be extracted through the inner perimeter, after the substrate is suspended on the wall surface. Various articles can attach to the suspended substrate, such as through magnetic attachment, a hook, or a shelf.

A water activated tape system includes a tape roller, a water bottle, and a first wipedown mechanism. The tape roller is configured to dispense water activated tape. The water bottle is configured provide liquid to wet the water activated tape. The first wipedown mechanism is configured to press the water activated tape onto a carton. The first wipedown mechanism includes a first hinged arm, a first roller, disposed at a first end of the first hinged arm, a second hinged arm, and a second roller, disposed at a first end of the second hinged arm.

Adhesive tapes are described which find particular application for sealing joints or regions between adjacent panels such as rigid foam insulation panels. Also described are methods of using the sealing tapes and systems of sealed panels using the sealing tapes.

Provided is a production method for a freshness-keeping bag capable of reducing the inflow of oxygen from the outside of the bag to a very low level, and thereby keeping the freshness of a content thereof for a long period of time. The present invention provides a method for producing a freshness-keeping bag formed of a film, wherein the freshness-keeping bag has a band-shaped joining region in which two ends of the film are overlapped and joined together, the joining region comprising a plurality of joined parts in which the two ends of the film are joined together, and a non-joined part which is located between adjacent ones of the joined parts and in which the overlapped ends of the film are not joined together, the non-joined part composing a non-linear ventilation passage communicating between an internal space of the bag and the outside of the bag, the method comprising the step of forming the joined parts by ultrasonic welding, wherein the step of forming the joined parts includes continuously forming the joined parts in the film, while rotating a disk-shaped ultrasonic welding anvil with respect to the film, wherein the ultrasonic welding anvil has a plurality of protrusions formed on an outer periphery thereof continuously at given intervals and correspondingly to the configuration of the joined parts of the bag.

A method for connecting a first cable to a second cable with an adhesive tape to form a cable chain includes: arranging a free end region of the first cable parallel to and spaced from a first end region of the second cable; providing the adhesive tape folded in its longitudinal direction to form opening tabs at its first and opposite second ends with an adhesively coated side of the adhesive tape partially adhering to itself; and enclosing a part of the first cable free end region and a part of the second cable first end region with the adhesive tape such that the first cable free end region has a greater distance from the first adhesive tape end and the second adhesive tape end than the second cable first end region and is detachably connected to the second cable first end region.

An aspect of the present invention provides a raw fabric cutting device. The device comprises: a support portion for supporting a raw fabric; a compressing portion for evacuating the space between a cover arranged on the raw fabric and the support portion such that the raw fabric is compressed; a cutting portion transferred above the support portion so as to cut the raw fabric; and a sealing portion transferred together with the cutting portion and configured to supply a sealing member to an open area of the cover, which is exposed as the raw fabric is cut, thereby covering the open area, wherein the sealing portion comprises a sealing member cutting portion for forming a notch on at least one side of the sealing member in the transverse direction with regard to the direction of transfer of the sealing member.

A label web and method utilize a substrate, first and second longitudinally spaced label arrays each including two or more double-sided adhesive labels removably attached to the substrate, and a peelable protective covering web extending generally coextensive with the substrate. The label arrays and the peelable protective web are configured such that the peelable protective web is selectively removable to expose the first label array while remaining removably attached to the second label array, with both the first and second label arrays remaining removably attached to the substrate, to thereby facilitate removal of all labels in the first label array as a group while the peelable protective covering web remains in place over the second label array.

A pipe joining system and pipe joint are shown m which two sections of molecularly oriented pipe are joined using heat shrinking techniques. A first section of pipe is provided having a straight, pre-formed socket with an internal diameter and with an end opening having enough clearance to allow a mating spigot section having a given external diameter to be inserted into the socket end opening. After the spigot end is inserted to a given depth, the socket is heated sufficiently so that the internal diameter of the socket end comes into contact with the external diameter of the spigot end, the molecularly oriented pipe being in a rubbery state and exhibiting a low elastic modulus which allows the socket end to conform tightly to the spigot end external diameter without deforming the spigot end.
