  • Patent number: 6048927
    Abstract: A method for forming a fiber treating composition comprising contacting an aminofunctional polysiloxane comprising at least one aminofunctional siloxy unit with a mixture comprising a lactone and an alkylsulfate of benzimidazole thereby effecting formation of an amide-functional polysiloxane in admixture with the alkylsulfate of benzimidazole. The composition formed by the method is particularly useful for treating textiles such as cotton and cotton-synthetic blends to provide good softness and water absorbency and improved whiteness and treatment durability.

  • Patent number: 6041681
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lug wrench stabilizer for use in safely and conveniently removing and replacing a vehicle wheel normally secured to the vehicle by a plurality of securely tightened lug nuts. The invention provides an "A" frame which is formed by a right and left tubular member and a horizontal support bar connected to and positioned between the right and left tubular members at a predetermined height below the apex. Each of said tubular members comprise a telescoping leg within a housing which is supportably connected to a standing pad and a standing pad swivel means to support the assembled device on uneven terrain. Each of the telescoping legs has a plurality of notches situated across the width of the telescoping legs that can be aligned for receiving a bail.
