摘要：
The present disclosure provides adhesive mounting articles that can be removed from surfaces without damage by having reduced contribution of a hardgood to the peel force generated by the adhesive article during removal. In some instances, this can be accomplished by a hardgood that is flexible in a peel direction and rigid in a weight hanging direction. Such hardgoods may include a plurality of minimally connected body segments arranged about the transverse axis of the hardgood body.

CA 03122202 2021-06-04 WO 2020/128911 PCT/IB2019/061033 Claims We Claim: 1. An adhesive article for mounting an object to a surface, the article comprising: an adhesive layer; a flexible body having a plurality of discrete body segments, the body segments arranged at a defined pitch, wherein flexible body is more rigid in a longitudinal direction than a transverse direction.
2. The adhesive article of claim 1, wherein each body segment of the plurality of body segments includes a linear segment and a connector, such that the article contains a plurality of linear segments and a plurality of connectors.
3. The adhesive article of claim 2, wherein each linear segment is arranged in parallel relation to an adjacent linear segment.
4. The adhesive article of claim 3, wherein all linear segments are arranged in parallel to one another.
5. The adhesive article of claims 2-4, wherein the connectors comprise arcuate segments connecting adjacent linear segments.
6. The adhesive article of claim 2-5, wherein the connectors are disposed at an edge of the body.
7. The adhesive article of claims 2-6, wherein each connector couples only two adjacent linear segments.
8. The adhesive article of claims 2-7, wherein the adhesive layer is disposed on a rear major surface of the flexible body.
9. The adhesive article of claims 2-8, wherein the adhesive layer includes a peelable adhesive.
10. The adhesive article of claims 2-7 and 9, wherein the flexible body is coupled to a backplate, and wherein the adhesive layer is secured to the backplate.
11. The adhesive article of claim 10, wherein the backplate is integral with the flexible body. CA 03122202 2021-06-04 WO 2020/128911 PCT/IB2019/061033
12. The adhesive article of claims 1-10, wherein the flexible body includes a mounting projection.
13. The adhesive article of claim 12, wherein the mounting projection includes a plurality of discrete mounting segments, each extending outward from a body segment.
14. The adhesive article of claim 13, wherein the mounting segments are connected to one another through a bar located a distal edge of the mounting projection.
15. The adhesive article of claim 14, wherein the bar has an inverse scallop configuration.
16. The adhesive article of claims 12-15, wherein the mounting projection defines a recess between the mounting projection and the body segments.
17. The adhesive article of claim 13, wherein the mounting segments converge to form a hook.
18. The adhesive article of any of the previous claims, wherein the flexible body and mounting projection are monolithic.
19. The adhesive article of any of the previous claims, wherein the flexible body comprises one of polycarbonate, polyester, HIPS, PEEK, nylon, ABS, and combinations thereof
20. The adhesive article of any of the previous claims 2-6 and 8-19, wherein the connector couples two or more adjacent segments.
21. The adhesive article of any of the previous claims, wherein the body segments are arranged in a serpentine fashion about a transverse axis of the flexible body.
22. The adhesive article of claim 21, wherein the body segments are oriented at an oblique angle relative to the transverse axis.
23. The adhesive article of claim 21, wherein the body segments are oriented perpendicular to the transverse axis.
24. The adhesive article of any of the previous claims and comprising at least three body segments. CA 03122202 2021-06-04 WO 2020/128911 PCT/IB2019/061033
25. The adhesive article of claim 24 and comprising at least five body segments.
