Adhesive wipe

Abstract

An adhesive wipe for cleaning a surface is disclosed. The adhesive wipe comprises a backing having a working surface that is substantially planar, adhesive on at least a portion of the working surface of the backing, and at least one spacer strand independently arranged on the adhesive on the working surface. At least a portion of the adhesive is covered by the spacer strand and at least a portion of the adhesive is exposed.

1 . An adhesive wipe for cleaning a surface comprising: 
 a backing having a working surface that is substantially planar;    adhesive on at least a portion of the working surface of the backing;    at least one spacer strand independently arranged on the adhesive on the working surface;    wherein at least a portion of the adhesive is covered by the spacer strand and at least a portion of the adhesive is exposed.    
   
   
       2 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the working surface comprises a first edge and second edge.  
   
   
       3 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 2 , wherein the spacer strand extends continuously from the first edge to the second edge.  
   
   
       4 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of spacer strands extend from the first edge to the second edge, each strand being continuous and independently arranged on the adhesive on the working surface.  
   
   
       5 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of spacer strands extend in a mimicking pattern from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge.  
   
   
       6 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the adhesive covers the entire working surface of the backing.  
   
   
       7 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , further comprising a first wing extending from the working surface and a second wing extending from the working surface, opposite the first wing.  
   
   
       8 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 7 , wherein the first wing and second wing are at least partially covered with adhesive on a side of the adhesive wipe opposite the adhesive on the working surface.  
   
   
       9 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive on a side of the backing opposite the adhesive on the working surface.  
   
   
       10 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the spacer strand comprises a multi-strand structure.  
   
   
       11 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 1 , wherein the spacer strand is a yarn, thread, string, foam, or extruded strand of plastic.  
   
   
       12 . An adhesive wipe for cleaning a surface comprising: 
 a backing having a working surface that is substantially planar and includes a first edge and second edge opposite the first edge;    adhesive on at least a portion of the working surface of the backing;    at least one spacer strand independently arranged on the adhesive on the working surface and extending continuously from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge;    wherein at least a portion of the adhesive is covered by the spacer strand and at least a portion of the adhesive is exposed.    
   
   
       13 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of spacer strands, each independently arranged on the adhesive on the working surface and each spacer strand extending continuously from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge.  
   
   
       14 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of spacer strands extend in a mimicking pattern from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge.  
   
   
       15 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 12 , wherein the adhesive wipe is attached to a cleaning tool having a substantially planar surface.  
   
   
       16 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 12 , wherein the spacer strand comprises a multi-strand structure.  
   
   
       17 . An adhesive wipe for cleaning a surface by attachment to a cleaning tool having a head with a substantially planar working face, the adhesive wipe comprising: 
 a backing having a working surface in contact with the surface to be cleaned and an opposite surface for contact with the planar working face of the head of the cleaning tool, the working surface including a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge;    adhesive on at least a portion of the working surface of the backing;    a plurality of spacer strands independently arranged on the adhesive, wherein each spacer strand continuously extends from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge and wherein each spacer strand comprises a multi-strand structure;    wherein at least a portion of the adhesive is covered by the spacer strand and at least a portion of the adhesive is exposed to the surface to be cleaned.    
   
   
       18 . The adhesive wipe of  claim 17 , wherein the plurality of spacer strands extend in a mimicking pattern from the first edge of the working surface to the second edge.
