Abstract

One embodiment provides an information handling device, including: an electronic component; and a tape strip comprising: a top surface; and a bottom surface; wherein each of the top surface and the bottom surface comprise alternating sections of adhesive areas and non-adhesive areas; wherein the electronic component is adhered to the top surface of the tape strip via an adhesive connection between the adhesive areas located on the top surface of the tape strip and a bottom surface of the electronic component and wherein the tape strip is adhered to the information handling device via another adhesive connection between the adhesive areas. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (33)

1. An information handling device, comprising:

an electronic component; and

a tape strip comprising:

a top surface; and

a bottom surface;

wherein each of the top surface and the bottom surface comprise alternating sections of adhesive areas and non-adhesive areas;

wherein the electronic component is adhered to the top surface of the tape strip via an adhesive connection between the adhesive areas located on the top surface of the tape strip and a bottom surface of the electronic component and wherein the tape strip is adhered to the information handling device via another adhesive connection between the adhesive areas located on the bottom surface of the tape stripe, wherein each of the adhesive areas and each of the non-adhesive areas are substantially triangular shaped.

2. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic component is a battery.

3. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive areas are raised with respect to the non-adhesive areas.

4. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the non-adhesive areas comprise a polymeric substance.

5. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive areas comprise a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

6. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein each of the adhesive areas and each of the non-adhesive areas span a length of the tape strip.

7. The information handling device of claim 6 , wherein the adhesive areas are positioned parallel to the non-adhesive areas.

8. The information handling device of claim 1 , wherein each of the adhesive areas on the top surface are bookended by adjacent non-adhesive areas.

9. The information handling device of claim 8 , wherein each of the non-adhesive areas on the bottom surface are bookended by the adjacent adhesive areas.

10. A tape strip, comprising:

a top surface; and

a bottom surface;

wherein each of the top surface and the bottom surface comprise alternating sections of adhesive areas and non-adhesive areas, wherein each of the adhesive areas and each of the non-adhesive areas are substantially triangular shaped.

11. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein the adhesive areas are raised with respect to the non-adhesive areas.

12. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein the non-adhesive areas comprise a polymeric substance.

13. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein the adhesive areas comprise a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

14. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein each of the adhesive areas and each of the non-adhesive areas span a length of the tape strip.

15. The tape strip of claim 14 , wherein the adhesive areas are positioned parallel to the non-adhesive areas.

16. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein each of the adhesive areas on the top surface are bookended by adjacent non-adhesive areas.

17. The tape strip of claim 10 , wherein each of the non-adhesive areas on the bottom surface are bookended by the adjacent adhesive areas.

18. A method of removing an electronic component from an information handling device, comprising:

applying a pulling force to the electronic component, the electronic component being secured to the information handling device by a tape strip, wherein the tape strip comprises:

a top surface; and

a bottom surface;

wherein each of the top surface and the bottom surface comprise alternating sections of adhesive areas and non-adhesive areas;

wherein the electronic component is adhered to the top surface of the tape strip via an adhesive connection between the adhesive areas located on the top surface of the tape strip and a bottom surface of the electronic component and wherein the tape strip is adhered to the information handling device via another adhesive connection between the adhesive areas located on the bottom surface of the tape stripe, wherein each of the adhesive areas and each of the non-adhesive areas are substantially triangular shaped;

separating, via the pulling force, the adhesive connection between the bottom surface of the electronic component and the information handling device.
