Abstract
An adhesive tape tab for use on disposable diapers which may be peeled and re-used for subsequent fastenings of the diaper without tearing the outside plastic film of the diaper or the tape tab itself. The tape tab has a tape which is fastened on one portion to the diaper. A second, extendable portion of the tape has adhesive material thereon, however, the adhesive material is interrupted and divided into segments by nonadhesive areas formed by a nonadhesive open-mesh sheet material. Each of these adhesive segments has an area so that when the second portion of tape is attached to the outside film the peel strength between tape and film over the segmented area is less than the tearing strength of the film over the same segmented area.
