Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional adhesive roll cleaners are wasteful due to rapid loss of adhesion, low initial tack, and inability to utilize the entire adhesive surface, leading to inefficient cleaning and potential damage to fabrics and surfaces.

Innovation Solution

A high-performance adhesive roll cleaner featuring a warp-knitted fabric base layer with an embossed structure, a film support layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a modified acrylate-based copolymer and aluminum chelate-based crosslinking agent, allowing for easy cutting and repeated use without wasting adhesive.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cutting lines are formed at regular intervals on the adhesive tape, then the adhesive tape can be easily cut, but the entire adhesive surface must be removed even when sufficient foreign substances do not adhere, leading to waste

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of cuttingVSAvoidadhesive waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and removes only the contaminated portion of the adhesive tape at the specific location where foreign substances adhere, rather than removing the entire adhesive surface. This is achieved by allowing users to manually tear or cut the tape at the exact position of contamination, eliminating the need for pre-formed cutting lines that would force removal of clean adhesive areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Strength

If the adhesive layer has small area and strong adhesive strength, then it can effectively remove foreign substances, but it has low initial tack and must be discarded after one or two uses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidusage duration
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the parameters of the adhesive layer by increasing its area while optimizing its composition to maintain strong adhesive strength. The adhesive layer is formulated with specific polymers and tackifiers that provide both high initial tack and sustained adhesion over multiple uses, extending the duration of action from one or two uses to potentially many more uses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If non-adhesive coated portions are formed at the edge portions of the adhesive roll cleaner, then adhesive leakage is prevented, but the entire width of the adhesive tape cannot be utilized and corners or edges cannot be cleaned

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive leakage preventionVSAvoidcleaning area utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies local quality by providing adhesive leakage prevention only at specific locations where it is most needed (such as through the paper backing structure or edge treatments) rather than creating large non-adhesive zones. This allows the majority of the adhesive tape width to remain functional, enabling cleaning of corners and edges while still preventing adhesive leakage through localized structural features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Ease of manufacture

If the adhesive layer has low adhesion to base material, then it can be easily applied, but adhesive transfers to clothes or carpets and damages them

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive application easeVSAvoidadhesive transfer damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses composite materials by combining the adhesive layer with a paper backing or support structure that provides mechanical strength and controls adhesive release. This composite structure allows the adhesive to be easily applied while the backing prevents excessive transfer to clothes or carpets, reducing damage through the integrated material system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

The present invention relates to a high-performance adhesive roll cleaner including: an adhesive tape roll formed by winding an adhesive tape, having an adhesive layer formed on one surface of a warp-knitted fabric base layer, so that the adhesive layer faces outward; and a support body configured to rotatably support the adhesive tape roll; wherein the warp-knitted fabric base layer may be continuously cut at intervals of 2 mm. The present invention may provide remarkable advantages in that the adhesive tape may be easily cut at a desired position during use, and may be used repeatedly due to the excellent initial tack thereof, so that the economic efficiency thereof may be maximized while the waste thereof is prevented.
