Abstract
The invention provides a structure in which an adhesion means that rotates, rocks, or reciprocates is pressed onto at least one side of an adhesive tape. The peel-off backing is subsequently removed from a base material of the adhesive tape by applying force on the adhesion means in the direction that separates the peel-off backing from the base material. The relative magnitudes of adhesive strengths are important, and the use of means such as end adhesion, end creasing, and slight delamination increase the effectiveness of the structure. After delamination, separation hooks separate the elements from the adhesion means.
