  • Patent number: 6649013
    Abstract: A multi-layer protective glove fabric comprises a base cloth layer, a second stretchable cloth layer overlying the base layer, a third latex layer coated on the base layer and a fourth wax layer over the third latex layer to prevent the latex coating layer from blooming. The method of manufacturing a protective glove with this multi-layer construction includes (1) heating a fabric layer at a first elevated temperature; (2) applying a viscous latex spreading compound over a surface of the fabric layer at a second, lower elevated temperature, to prevent the latex from penetrating the fabric layer but ensuring its adhesion to the fabric layer; (3) applying wax over the latex at least at the first elevated temperature, to prevent the latex from blooming; (4) adhering an opposed surface of the fabric layer to a second fabric layer to form the multi-layer fabric and (5) forming the multi-layer fabric into a glove.

  • Patent number: 6582035
    Abstract: A product display includes a housing for sheltering and protecting a displayed product whether indoors or outdoors, a support frame mounted within the housing and adapted for displaying the product within the display and venting members for allowing air circulation. The housing has a front and rear wall each formed by a series of vertically extending, transparent doors, a roof, a floor and side walls. Each door selectively pivots between an open position and a closed position and has side lips that engage and extend over a side edge of the housing when in the closed position. At least some of the doors have a bottom lip that engages and extends over an adjacent door's front surface, and at least one of the doors engages a pivotable roof flap when in the open and closed positions, to continuously shelter the displayed products whether the doors are in an open or closed position. The support frame includes sets of cross-bars, each set having a top bar spaced apart from a bottom bar.
