Pressure sensitive adhesive photo mount system

Abstract

A photo mount system is formed from a pressure sensitive adhesive laminate, in which a center carrier sheet has a low tack low residue pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides thereof. A face sheet is decorative on one surface thereof and has a release liner on the other, and is further characterized by a removable portion that allows for exposure of a part of the pressure sensitive adhesive. The removable portion and exposure of the pressure sensitive adhesive accommodates the placement of a photograph or other memorabilia thereon. A backing sheet is removably received by the adhesive attached to the opposite side of the carrier sheet, and is removable to expose the adhesive for attachment to an appliance, wall, furniture of the like.

1 . A photograph mounting system, comprising:
 a face sheet having decorative presentations on the front surface thereof and a first release layer on a back surface thereof;   a backing sheet having a second release layer on one surface thereof;   a carrier sheet interposed between said face and backing sheets, said carrier sheet having a first adhesive layer receiving said first release layer of said face sheet and said second release layer of said backing sheet; and   a removable region of said face sheet and said first release layer for exposing a corresponding region of said first adhesive layer.   
   
   
       2 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and second adhesive layers are low tack adhesives. 
   
   
       3 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 2 , wherein said removable region is of a selectable size. 
   
   
       4 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 3 , wherein said removable region is defined by a plurality of intersecting score lines. 
   
   
       5 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 4 , wherein said removable region is of selectable rectangular configuration. 
   
   
       6 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 5 , wherein said backing sheet is characterized by at least one score line for removal of said backing sheet and associated second release layer from said second adhesive layer. 
   
   
       7 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 6 , wherein said face sheet is of rectangular configuration, adapted to receive a rectangular photograph thereon and with borders of said face sheet thereby replicating a picture frame. 
   
   
       8 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 6 , wherein said face sheet further has regions of personalization thereon, configured to receive handwritten indicia. 
   
   
       9 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 8 , wherein said face sheet is sized to receive a photograph within the borders thereof and without obscuring said regions of decoration and personalization. 
   
   
       10 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 9 , wherein said region of decoration replicates a sports ball. 
   
   
       11 . A photo mounting system, comprising:
 a face sheet having a decorative region replicating a sports ball and a personalization region for receiving hand written indicia thereon, both regions on an exposed front surface thereof, and a first release layer on a back surface thereof;   a backing sheet having a second release layer on one surface thereof;   a carrier sheet having first and second layers of low tack pressure sensitive adhesive thereon in respective receipt and engagement with said first and second release layers; and   wherein selective regions of said face sheet, defined by score lines, are removable to thereby expose said first layer of low tack pressure sensitive adhesive.   
   
   
       12 . The photograph mounting system according to  claim 11 , wherein said selective regions are rectangular in shape and defined by interconnecting score lines.
