Accordingly, the scope of this application should be determined solely by the following claims and equivalents. In addition to the embodiments described above, the following embodiments are also noted. (Note 1) An adhesive article for attaching an object to a surface, Adhesive layer and A flexible body having multiple separate body segments, wherein the body segments are arranged at a predetermined pitch, and the flexible body is more rigid in the longitudinal direction than in the lateral direction, Adhesive articles, including those mentioned above. (Note 2) The adhesive article according to Appendix 1, wherein each of the multiple body segments includes a linear segment and a connector, and thereby the article includes multiple linear segments and multiple connectors. (Note 3) The adhesive article as described in Appendix 2, wherein each linear segment is arranged parallel to the adjacent linear segment. (Note 4) The adhesive article described in Appendix 3, wherein all linear segments are arranged parallel to each other. (Note 5) The connector is an adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 2 to 4, comprising an arc-shaped segment that connects adjacent linear segments. (Note 6) The connector is an adhesive article as described in any one of the appendices 2 to 5, which is located on the edge of the main body. (Note 7) Each connector connects only two adjacent linear segments, as described in any one of the appendices 2 to 6 of the adhesive article. (Note 8) The adhesive layer is disposed on the rear main surface of the flexible body and is an adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 2 to 7. (Note 9) The adhesive layer is an adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 2 to 8, comprising a peelable adhesive. (Note 10) The adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 2 to 7 and 9, wherein the flexible body is connected to a back plate and the adhesive layer is fixed to the back plate. (Note 11) The adhesive article described in Appendix 10, wherein the back plate is integral with the flexible body. (Note 12) The flexible body is an adhesive article as described in any one of the appendices 1 to 10, including a mounting projection. (Note 13) The adhesive article according to Appendix 12, wherein the mounting projection includes a plurality of separate mounting segments, each extending outward from the main body segment. (Note 14) The adhesive article according to Appendix 13, wherein the mounting segments are connected to each other via a bar located at the distal edge of the mounting projection. (Note 15) The bar is an adhesive article as described in Appendix 14, having an inverted scalloped structure. (Note 16) The mounting projection defines a recess between the mounting projection and the main body segment, and is an adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 12 to 15. (Note 17) The adhesive article according to Appendix 13, wherein the mounting segments converge to form a hook. (Note 18) The adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 1 to 17, wherein the flexible body and the mounting projection are monolithic. (Note 19) The flexible body comprises one of polycarbonate, polyester, HIPS, PEEK, nylon, ABS, and combinations thereof, as described in any one of the appendices 1 to 18. (Note 20) The connector is an adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 2 to 6 and 8 to 19, which connects two or more adjacent segments. (Note 21) The adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 1 to 20, wherein the main body segment is arranged in a meandering manner around the transverse axis of the flexible main body. (Note 22) The adhesive article according to Appendix 21, wherein the main body segment is oriented at an angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal axis. (Note 23) The adhesive article according to Appendix 21, wherein the main body segment is oriented perpendicular to the horizontal axis. (Note 24) An adhesive article according to any one of the appendices 1 to 23, comprising at least three main body segments.
