Abstract: A floating dock mooring article that is movably connected around a watercraft dock pipe comprises a float operatively connected to a mooring member having a flange generally located at the upper end thereof. A watercraft is moored to the dock, as by a rope, via the mooring article. The mooring member has at least one radially outward set projection having an external diameter and the float has at least one radially inward projection having an internal diameter. The mooring member projection external diameter is greater than the float inward projection internal diameter. The inward projection is capable of engaging the mooring member projection so that the float is set at a predetermined height of said mooring member and/or the float is capable of causing the mooring member to rise.

Abstract: A floating dock mooring article, which slidably fits around a watercraft dock pipe, comprising a flotation device attached to a mooring member and a flange generally located at the upper end thereof. A watercraft is moored to the dock, as by a rope, via the flotation mooring article. When the water level rises as due to a flood, the float will cause the mooring article to raise-up the dock pipe and maintain securement of the watercraft to the dock.

Abstract: A method and product resulting from employing radio frequency electric energy for heat-sealing a thermoplastic pouch to a thermoplastic sheet or banner to provide a banner with an improved supplemental signage pocket affixed thereto. The components of the present invention are, no adhesives and tape free. The product is formed by utilizing a heating sheet heated by RF energy to seal the banner to the pocket. A barrier is placed in said pocket to protect one wall of the pocket from being sealed to the banner.

Abstract: A durable, lightweight sign or display device having a desired three-dimensional, contoured surface and a self-sticking backing to facilitate easy mounting is disclosed. The sign has a rigid plastic display sheet which is formed into the desired three-dimensional, contoured surface and formed with a peripheral flange. A plastic backing is heat-sealed to the display sheet along its peripheral flange. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to the outer surface of the backing and a removable protective layer is used to cover the adhesive to prevent contamination thereof prior to use. The sign is relatively inexpensive to fabricate and mass-produce. The sign is ideally suited for temporary display purposes such as sales, promotions, or seasonal decorations.
