Abstract: An elastomeric material and gloves or condoms made therewith are substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water, have a relatively high tensile strength, and have a relatively low resilience. The gloves conform to the shape of a hand when stretched to fit about the hand and then relax so that the pressure exerted on the hand is substantially reduced. The gloves are particularly useful in medical applications and most particularly useful as surgical gloves. Likewise, the condoms conform to the shape of a penis when stretched to fit about the penis and then relax so that the pressure exerted on the penis is substantially reduced. The condoms are useful for preventing the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating yarn ends while plaited in unstressed condition on a conveyor belt. In different portions of a machine the treatment consists in fixing dye-stuffs printed upon the yarns and drying the yarns after fixing and subsequent washing. A pair of rolls form a nip through which the conveyor belt and the plaits thereon pass upon leaving each of the treatment means. Yarn pulling means pull the yarns from the nip and off the belt, applying tension against the reaction of the nip without applying stress to the plaits advancing toward it.

Abstract: The sound attenuation material disclosed in this application comprises, in its basic aspects, an outer layer, a sound absorption layer, and a sound barrier layer disposed between the sound absorption layer and outer layer and bonding them together.Over the years there have been developed a number of compositions, and laminated and coated articles, for use as vibration dampening and sound attenuation means. One such a sound and shock absorbing means is in the form of an adhesive tape and is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,217,832. The tape is manufactured by coating a woven webbing of plastic material such as nylon with a viscoelastic, tacky, filled composition comprising, inter alia, polybutene, petroleum oil, and barytes. The density of the composition is increased if vibration dampening is of prime importance and decreased for better sound absorption.In U.S. Pat. No.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for coloring yarn continuously in sheets thereof, the apparatus including a spatial sequence apparatus for testing the yarn by pre-stressing; a yarn tension relaxing means; a printing apparatus for coloring the yarn in an accurately predetermined longitudinal pattern; control means for correcting wet yarn length increase as the yarn progresses through the printer; wet hot box for fixation of the dye stuff onto the yarn fiber; yarn washing means; combined apparatus for yarn drying and/or stress relieving by raising the yarn temperature; yarn relative lateral displacement means; yarn longitudinal displacement means; and finally a tufting machine or a take up means such as a beam.

Abstract: A fused resin coating is formed on a yarn fabric by impregnating the fabric with a liquid plasticizer for the resin and then coating the impregnated fabric with solid resin powder. The resin-coated fabric then is heated to fuse the resin. The coated fabrics obtained are more flexible and have better strength characteristics than fabrics coated with a resin plastisol composition.
