Abstract: An acrylic/lactam monomer based polymeric resin is provided which has excellent weatherability, outstanding transparency and optical clarity, improved heath and solvent resistance, as well as improved impact strength. The acrylic/lactam monomer based polymeric resin is formulated by the catalytic activation at ambient temperature of a polymerization syrup which contains from about 300 to about 2970 parts by volume of an acrylic monomer, from about 30 to about 2700 parts by volume of a lactam monomer, from about 0.3 parts to about 40 parts by volume of a mercaptan chain transfer agent and from about 0.3 to about 40 parts by volume of a crosslinking agent capable of crosslinking the acrylic monomer and the lactam monomer. To prevent further polymerization of the polymeric constituents of the polymerization syrup, as well as to enhance the shelf life of the polymerization syrup, an effective amount of a polymerization inhibitor and an ultraviolet light stabilizer are incorporated into the polymerization syrup.

Abstract: An apparatus for carrying multiple pairs of handcuffs comprising a wristlet retaining member attachable to a belt. The retaining member shaped to define a wristlet receiving slot dimensioned to slidably receive a portion of one of the handcuffs. The retaining member including a biasing portion and a rigid portion with one end of the rigid portion overlapping one end of the biasing portion such that the biasing portion is positioned inwardly adjacent the second end of the rigid portion.

Abstract: A flower pot cover consisting of a base and a skirt. The base has an upper end and a lower end with a pot opening being formed through the upper end of the base providing access to a pot receiving space. The skirt is connected to the upper end of the base and the skirt extends a distance outwardly from the base terminating with an outer periphery. A bonding material is disposed on the skirt or the base or both. A flower pot is disposed in the pot receiving space and the portion of the skirt and/or the base having the bonding material thereon is crimped to provide a crimped portion for cooperating to maintain the flower pot cover connected to the flower pot.

Abstract: A wrapper for wrapping about a floral grouping and a method for wrapping the floral grouping, the wrapper having a handle formed from a portion of the sheet of material for carrying the wrapper with the floral grouping disposed therein. The wrapper may comprise one or more sheets of material. The sheet may have more than one handle portion formed thereon.

Abstract: A process for separating grease and solid materials from a waste material so as to produce an aqueous discharge liquid. Waste material containing grease, water and solid materials is passed into a screen tank where course solid materials are separated out of the waste material. The filtrate is accumulated and injected into a series of filters wherein each filter is finer than the previous filter. The filtrate is then agitated to produce a foamed liquid which is substantially separated into a foamed oil portion and an aqueous liquid portion. The aqueous liquid portion is separated from the foamed oil portion and discharged into a sewage system. The solids captured during the filtering process are collected and in turn dried to produce a dried material which can be ground and mixed with other products and processed into animal feed, pesticides or the like.
