  • Lower leg mounted fishing pole holder
    Patent number: 6357639
    Abstract: A holster is sewn from durable waterproof synthetic woven fabric to provide a primary pocket. The holster is held to the outer side of a fisherman's lower leg by upper and lower VELCRO® equipped fabric straps stitched to the holster and wrapped around the lower leg. A plastic tube is supported in the primary pocket of the holster and is dimensioned to removably receive the handle of a fishing pole and provide its sole support. The tube is forwardly and laterally inclined relative to the fisherman's lower leg so that the upper free portion and tip of the fishing pole are positioned in front, and to the right, of the fisherman for convenient baiting of the hook and removal of fish that have been caught. The holster is fabricated with a secondary pocket that forms a fishing knife sheath and a strap loop that holds a pair of fisherman's pliers.

  • CF sheet for carbonless copy paper and weather resistant tags incorporating same
    Patent number: 5922641
    Abstract: A coated front sheet useful in carbonless copy forms. The sheet has a moisture resistant coating of latex binder, color developer, and pigment in association with a substrate. The coating is formulated to permit formation of a legible image in use in the carbonless copy form, and to minimize the adverse effects of humid weather conditions. The substrate is resistant to degradation by moisture, and may be a moisture resistant polymer or paper impregnated with the moisture resistant coating.

  • Coated front for carbonless copy paper and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 5525572
    Abstract: An improved carbonless copy paper for use in magnetic image character recognition (MICR). Carbonless copy paper according to the present invention contains a coated front (CF) layer which contains a latex binding component. The improved carbonless copy paper of the present invention provides a more durable CF coating which when imprinted with indicia prevents sorting errors in magnetic image character recognition.

  • Enhanced speed carbonless paper
    Patent number: 5330959
    Abstract: A coating composition for use in carbonless copying systems including (1) a resin dispersion which is a phenol/aldehyde condensation product formed by the interaction of an alkyl-substituted salicylic acid, an alkyl-substituted phenol, an aldehyde and a metal source; (2) a binder; and (3) a pigment. This coating composition provides faster imaging in carbonless systems than conventional coatings, at temperatures below room temperature.

  • High solids content active clay coating formulations and methods for producing and applying the same
    Patent number: 4071646
    Abstract: Disclosed are high solids content bentonite clay coating formulations for use in the production of receiver sheets for carbonless copying systems. The formulations comprise an acid-leached bentonite-type clay and an inactive clayey material such as chalk or a mixture of chalk and kaolin. The formulations are effective for use in the "on machine" blade coating of a paper substrate to more efficiently produce receiver sheets for carbonless copy systems.
