Abstract: A single-sided, slip resistant, self-adhesive material is produced using a blown film process which produces a film having an interior layer capable of being treated or coated to accept a pressure sensitive adhesive, a middle layer of flexible polyolefin and an exterior polyolefin elastomer layer in combination with a blowing agent to produce a single-sided slip resistant material. A number of in-line rollers are optionally provided after a pair of nip rollers, which form part of a machine direction orienter (MDO) that is used in line in the manufacturing process to heat, and then cool and condition (anneal and relieve any stresses and/or thickness inconsistencies) the film prior to the film being coated on one side with a pressure sensitive adhesive.

Abstract: A double-sided, slip resistant material is produced using a blown film process which produces a film having an interior heat sealable layer, a core layer of flexible polyolefin and an exterior polyolefin elastomer layer in combination with a blowing agent and optionally grit to produce a double-sided slip resistant material. A number of rollers are provided after nip rollers have fused the film together, and which form part of a machine direction orienter (MDO) that is used in line in the manufacturing process to heat, and then cool and condition (anneal and relieve any stresses and/or thickness inconsistencies in the film) prior to the film being wound onto a roll for storage.

Abstract: An air ratchet holder for use in supporting an air ratchet tool includes a semicylindrical cradle portion having an end cap and a hook secured thereto. A C-shaped clasp means are secured within the interior of the semicylindrical cradle and are adapted to grasp the neck kportion of an air ratchet tool and secure it within the cradle interior. A hook is secured to the upper portion of the cradle to permit attachment to the under portion of a vehicle supported upon a hoist or the like. In an alternate embodiment, a magnetic clasp is used in place of the hook to provide for magnetic attachment of the air ratchet holder to a convenient metal member of the vehicle. An aperture in the cradle portion permits the air ratchet to be received within the holder in a reverse position.
