John H. Thrower has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5875495
    Abstract: A male undergarment formed from a tubular body portion having a scrotum-underlying section with an oval opening defined therein and an outer genitalia-concealing panel connected to a crotch section of the tubular body portion and extending along the leg openings and up to the waistband, thereby forming a pocket with the front area of the tubular body portion along the waistband. The defined opening receives the complete genitalia to be encased by the pocket.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 2, 1999
    Inventor: John H. Thrower
  • Patent number: 5780111
    Abstract: Solution and process for cleaning and conditioning marble and similar substances whereby a first mixture formed from zinc sulfate solution, an abrasive, and a thickener is used to mechanically and chemically clean and prepare the marble for the reception of a second aqueous solution formed of fluorosilicates of the group consisting of the alkaline earth metals and zinc, and a monocarboxylic aliphatic organic acid, such as acetic, and a third mixture formed by the addition of fumed silica and an organic filler such as acrylic or shellac to the second aqueous solution. The first mixture is applied with buffing means, completely flushed with water, and removed. The second solution is applied and partially removed with buffing means, and the third solution is applied and partially removed in the same manner. As a result of these steps, the surface of the treated substance is given a brilliant glass-like finish with increased surface traction.

  • Patent number: 5480259
    Abstract: An aggregate floor including terrazzo and the like and a method for forming the floor on a supporting surface, the floor including a layer of flexible compound applied to the surface, a reinforcement mesh positioned between divider strips and adjacent the compound and supporting a layer of compacted aggregate forming a substantially level surface. The divider strips are selectively positioned in desired configurations on the flexible compound layer to divide the mesh and aggregate into discreet and crack controlled sections. A mixture of composite cement, water, and, in some cases, sand is applied to the surface of the aggregate layer in such a viscosity as to gravitate completely through the aggregate layer and make contact with the underlying layer of flexible compound. Such permeation fills and replaces the air pockets between the aggregate particles and deposits sufficient top coating on the surface of the aggregate to be polished to a finished surface.
