Abstract: A process for the manufacturing of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer and a decorative upper surface. A radiation curing lacquer is printed in a predetermined pattern as an uppermost layer on the decorative upper surface. The radiation curing lacquer covers only parts of the decorative upper surface whereby the lacquer is exposed to radiation whereby it cures. A surface structure is hereby achieved.

Abstract: A paper for a label which has an uncoated basic paper substrate on a verso side of which there is applied at least one coat of a liquid polymer, into which is incorporated one of an opacifier and an opacifying filler, intended to give product opacity in a dry state and in a wet state, adding to the opacity of the uncoated basic paper substrate so as to create a coat that is opaque and limits the ingress of water, between a product that is to be labeled and the uncoated basic paper substrate for use of the product in a wet environment or that is to be immersed in water, while at the same time preserving the qualities of the label.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for attaching an ornamental overlay to a vehicle wheel by injecting adhesive foam through an aperture of the wheel and into a cavity formed between the wheel and the overlay. A first nest engages the outboard side of the wheel/overlay assembly to seal the inner periphery of the overlay, the valve stem opening of the overlay, the lug bolt receiving holes of the wheel, the pilot aperture of the wheel, and/or the valve stem opening of the wheel. A secondary nest engages the inboard side of the wheel/overlay assembly to seal the wheel apertures and a plurality of turbine openings in the overlay. A nozzle disposed within the secondary nest is adapted to inject the adhesive foam into the cavity through either a gap between the periphery of a wheel aperture and the periphery of a corresponding turbine opening in the overlay, through a straight or angled hole within a spoke, or through a groove within a spoke.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fabric suitable for use as an ironing board cover having a fiberglass weave material and a backing material adhered to the fiberglass weave material. The backing material has a greater thickness than the fiberglass material. The adhered fiberglass weave and backing material is encapsulated within a silicone barrier dried over the adhered fiberglass weave and backing material such that fiberglass particles from the fiberglass weave are not easily dislodged from the fabric. A method of making the fabric is also disclosed.

Abstract: A multi-ply mailer and method of making wherein the top sheet has a CB coating, the next adjacent intermediate ply has a CF coating and the top sheet has a localized area coated with transparentizing material with image developing properties whereby impressing the localized area results in the development of an image visible through the top ply.

Abstract: Crossbanding of veneered or laminated panels with vulcanized fiber sheets that can be of multiple thin plies vulcanized together and colored. The finished vulcanized fiber crossband sheets have both surfaces coated with adhesive adherently dried in place so that they can be very simply assembled with the remaining panel constituents and hot pressed to produce desired panel.

Abstract: Linear means, particularly for producing a mirror having a discrete transparent portion of a desired shape, configuration or ornamentation and having a backing which may have a discrete image of corresponding shape, configuration or ornamentation affixed in juxtaposition thereto, is set forth. The means of production of said mirror include providing, upon a glass surface, a layer of reflective substance, applying over said reflective substance, a layer of protective resist material which delineates, outlines and profiles said desired shape, configuration or ornamentation, then treating said coated glass surface to set said resist and washing the same to remove unprotected reflective portions delineated by said protective layer and exposed to said wash.
