A mounting laminate can be used as a mounting sheet on which undersize items can be mounted for processing in devices equipped with stacked sheet feed mechanisms. The mounting laminate has three primary layers: (a) a masking layer, preferably paper, formed with discrete openings, preferably circles, (b) a back layer, preferably a thin plastic film, and (c) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adhering the masking layer to the back layer and extending across each of the openings.

An adjustable tray assembly adaptable for use in desk drawers having side walls spaced at various distances. The tray assembly includes a first portion having a plurality of open top receptacles and a support lip projecting away from one side, and a second portion also with a projecting support lip and mounted on the first portion to affording relative movement between the portions to change the spacing between the first and second support lips so that they can be supported on the upper edge surfaces of the side walls of the drawers of different widths with the first and second portions bridging therebetween. The tray assembly can also include dispensers for office supplies including note paper, tape flags and tape; the tape dispenser being of a novel low profile design.

A sheet including a layer of flexible polymeric material having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on a second end portion that is generally transparent when adhered to a substrate, while being free of adhesive along a visually distinctive first end portion. A pad of the sheets in a stack with adjacent ends of the sheets aligned and with the first and second ends of successive sheets adjacent can be disposed in a chamber partially defined by a top wall having a slot through which the first end portion of the uppermost sheet projects. Relative movement is afforded between the top wall and the uppermost sheet to afford, as the uppermost sheet is pulled through the slot, alignment of the slot with successive portions of the uppermost sheet toward its second end as those successive portions are peeled from the stack. In a final relative position between the top wall and the uppermost sheet the slot is along the second end portion of that sheet and the first end portion of the underlying sheet to cause movement of the first end portion of the underlying sheet through the slot with the second end portion of the uppertmost sheet to leave the first end portion of the underlying sheet projecting through the slot after the uppermost sheet is removed.
