  • Patent number: 4545843
    Abstract: Adhesive tape is manufactured by laminating at least one layer of a heat activated adhesive film to one layer of a substrate material, and coating the thereby obtained laminate with a pressure sensitive adhesive. Because the substrate is laminated with a film, typically a random copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid, the adhesive which is thereafter coated on the laminate will not flow through the substrate, even if a porous substrate is used.

  • Patent number: 4443897
    Abstract: An anti-clog sink device is provided which comprises a cylindrical support piece, a screen, an elastic retainer, a detent, and a handle. The cylindrical support piece is open at one end and has teeth attached, which are located in a plane perpendicular to the cylinder axis and disposed at the second end of the cylindrical support piece, said teeth being directed to about the axis of the cylindrical support piece. The screen has a circular bottom to be seated on the teeth of the cylindrical support piece and a cylindrical rim adapted to fit into the cylindrical support piece adjacent to its inner surface. The elastic retainer is adapted to be placed inside of the cylindrical rim of the screen to retain the screen tightly in position relative to the cylindrical support piece. The detent is attached to the inside of the cylindrical support piece for preventing the elastic retainer and the screen from falling out of the cylindrical support piece at its open side.
