AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] Each of the carrier sheets preferably includes a characteristic or feature that differentiates the carrier sheet from the other carrier sheets within the kit. For example, in one preferred embodiment, each of the carrier sheets carries a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive segments of a particular size and shape that is different from the size and shape of the pressure-sensitive adhesive segments carried by the other carrier sheets within the kit. Each of the pockets of the storage member holds and stores one of the carrier sheets. When the user desires to use a certain type of adhesive segment, the user can look at the see-through storage member and quickly discern which pocket contains the desired adhesive segment. The user removes the carrier sheet from that pocket, uses the adhesive segment and returns the carrier sheet back to the pocket.

[0007] A primary object or aspect of the present invention is to provide a kit for convenient storage and organization of carrier sheets carrying adhesive segments.

[0008] Another object or aspect of the present invention is to provide a compact kit that can be easily transported.

[0009] Another object or aspect of the present invention is to provide a kit wherein the different carrier sheets of adhesive segments are quickly and easily identifiable.

Problems solved by technology

When a person desires to use an adhesive segment of a particular shape and size, the person must go through the burdensome task of digging through the various rolls of carrier tape to find the adhesive segment of the desired shape and size.

Additionally, if the person attends a scrapbooking or photograph cropping event, the person must inconveniently transport all of the different rolls of carrier tape containing the adhesive segments of the desired shapes and sizes.
