Appeal No. 2002-2211
Application No. 09/304,393
BACKGROUND
Appellants’ invention relates to a method for adhering a first substrate to a
second substrate with an adhesive device comprising a carrier sheet having at least
two surfaces. On both sides of the carrier sheet is a continuous layer of a silicone
gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2. According to
Appellants, the gel has sufficient tack to adhere substrates including medical
prosthesis on patients, electrical components and construction elements. (Brief, p.
2). Claim 1, which is representative of the claimed invention, appears below:
1. In a method for adhering a first substrate to a second substrate with
an adhesive device, the improvement comprising the use of an
adhesive device comprising:
a carrier sheet, said carrier sheet having at least two surfaces;
on one surface of the carrier sheet is a first, continuous layer of a
silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2;
said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the first substrate; and
on a second surface of the carrier sheet is a second continuous layer of
a silicone gel having a density in the range of about 100 to 4500 g/m2,
said gel having sufficient tack to adhere to the second substrate.
