Removable, Reusable Mount for Plastic Foam Laminates on Architectural Glass and Kit

Abstract

An optically clear, siliconized plastic film(1) adhesively mounted on an architectural glass substrate(7) creates a highly efficient seat for adhere able plastic foam laminates. This will allow the plastic foam laminates to be seated on the siliconized plastic film creating complete removability and reusability. Additionally, numerous adhesives can be specified for the plastic foam laminates wherein adhesive residue left on the glass will not be a design factor. In one embodiment the siliconized plastic film allows double sided tape(2) to be placed on the periphery of the laminate to achieve an excellent, glass removable bond for seating the film on a glass substrate. This makes an excellent, impervious seal. Also, heat transfer reductions range from approximately 89-98% depending upon the temperature extremes in Winter and Summer. Further, this invention provides good light transmission, improves privacy for bedroom glass, creates a display for brilliant artwork, reduces dust accumulations and creates instant removability. The material cuts as easy as paper and will be very simple to fabricate; therefore, this invention can be constructed with simple kits and installed by unskilled, do-it-yourself users.

Claims

1) For adhering to architectural glass removable, reusable mount for a plastic foam laminate comprising: a) a removable from glass adhesive layer deposited on a glass substrate adhered to; b) an optically clear, plastic film having on one side a siliconized deposit and having a second non-siliconized side adhered to said removable from glass adhesive layer and; c) a plastic foam laminate having an adhesive side adhered to the siliconized side of the optically clear, plastic film.

2) The removable, reusable mount of claim 1 wherein the adhesive layer deposited on glass comprises a clear, double sided adhesive tape.

3) The removable, reusable mount of claim 1 wherein the adhesive layer deposited on glass comprises an optically clear, aqueous glue.

4) The removable, reusable mount of claim 1 wherein the plastic foam laminate comprises an adhesive, carrier less transfer film composition.

5) The adhesive, carrier less transfer film composition of claim 4 comprising an adhesive composition from the group including acrylic and silicone.

6) The removable, reusable mount of claim 1 wherein the plastic foam laminate comprises an adhesive composition with 100% coverage on the glass side.

7) The removable, reusable mount of claim 1 wherein the plastic foam laminate comprises an adhesive composition that is optically, glass clear.

8) A kit comprising a plastic foam laminate, adhesive tape removable from glass and a clear plastic film comprising at least on one side, a siliconized deposit.

9) A kit comprising an adhesive tape removable from glass, and a plastic foam laminate with a clear plastic film having a siliconized side and a non-siliconized side wherein the siliconized side covers the air exposed adhesive side on said plastic foam laminate.

Description

DRAWINGS

[0006] FIG. 1 Shows an optically clear siliconized plastic film (1) with a double sided adhesive tape (2) placed around he periphery of the plastic film overlapping at the corners(3).

[0007] FIG. 2 Shows the plastic film (1) manufactured with a siliconized surface (4) and a second surface with a non-siliconized surface (5).

[0008] FIG. 3 Shows a glass clear, aqueous glue composition (8) bonding the plastic film (1) to the glass substrate (7).

[0009] FIG. 4 Illustrates the finished multi-layers of a typical plastic foam laminate bonded to the glass substrate completing the invention.

DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

[0010] 1) Clean the glass thoroughly and cloth dry. [0011] 2) Measure the desired coverage with a tape measure or the like. [0012] 3) Mark off the dimensions on the plastic foam laminate. [0013] 4) Cut the piece of foam laminate with a pair of scissors. [0014] 5) The siliconized plastic film is presented on the plastic foam laminate face down. Therefore, there should be no question which side is siliconized. On the corner where you wish to remove the laminate from glass, separate a very small corner between the siliconized film and the foam laminate. Cut with scissors, about a inch corner clipping from the laminate. Or alternately, put a small adhesive tape tab on the plastic foam laminate. Now you will see and identify the releasable corner as the designated starting point to pull the laminate from the seated siliconized plastic film. Easy, clean separation can be accomplished many, repeatable times. [0015] 6) Next, take the roll of double sided tape and cut a strip of tape. Place it on one edge of the laminate's plastic film. Remove the tape liner after setting the tape. Overlap the tape strips at each corner until all four corners have overlapping tape strips. [0016] 7) Now you can carefully press on the tape side laminate to the measured glass space to achieve a removable and reusable mount for plastic foam laminates.

Comments

[0017] Finally, this invention could save many lives lost in home fires due to the desperate use of space heaters in cold extremes. It will also relieve the stress on electrical heaters reducing fires from their overuse. Undoubtedly, a thirty to sixty percent reduction of the heating load in a domicile will save many lives. A financial windfall of utility savings will enrich users of this invention. And less pollution benefits countless people across the Earth, reduces collateral water pollution, improves the condition of our biosphere and cleans the air we all breathe.
