Patent number: 11975912Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and/or apparatuses involving an apparatus having a channel, an actuator, a mechanical stop, and a dial having nozzles and a gear. The dial is operable to rotate for selectively aligning each of the respective nozzles with the channel. The gear has a plurality of cogs and recessed regions between adjacent ones of the cogs, and is configured with the mechanical stop to prevent movement of the actuator when the dial is positioned such that none of the nozzles are aligned with the channel.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: RUST-OLEUM CORPORATIONInventor: Adam Peter Morrison

Patent number: 11745197Abstract: An adapter receives two separate fluids from a container having two separate fluid compartments and combines the fluids into a single fluid stream for delivery to a spray fluid dispenser. The adapter comprises a unitary housing having a first open end for fluid connection to the container and a second open end for fluid connection to the spray fluid dispenser. The housing defines a manifold forming a fluid passageway therein between the first end and the second end. The manifold includes two separate first conduits formed at the first end. Each of the first conduits is connected to a respective one of the fluid compartments. The manifold further includes a second conduit in fluid communication with the second end for delivery of the combined fluids to the spray fluid dispenser. The first conduits are each in fluid communication with the second conduit.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: RUST-OLEUM CORPORATIONInventors: Peter Lea, Brian Bacik, Jeff Hastie, Ladi Sujar, Rasho Petrovic

Patent number: 11390756Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a water-based aerosol composition, as well as related methods and resulting films. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a water-based aerosol composition includes a solvent including water, a liquid propellant, and a waterborne alkyd polymer material. The solvent, propellant and waterborne alkyd polymer operate together to propel the water-based aerosol composition onto a surface and cure the alkyd polymer on the surface, therein providing a coating on the surface that inhibits oxidation thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Rust-Oleum CorporationInventors: Tyler Emery, Matthew Badgley

Patent number: 6030466Abstract: Paint stripping compositions that are relatively non-toxic and environmentally safe are disclosed for use in removing, for example, oil base alkyd and latex paints, varnishes, lacquers, shellacs, enamels, polyurethane, and epoxy coatings from wood and metal surfaces at ambient temperatures. Tetrahydrofurfuryl alkyl ethers, alone, or in combination with other ingredients, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, provide compositions with improved paint stripping properties.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: Rust-Oleum CorporationInventor: Marion Mack Myers, II

Patent number: 5456853Abstract: Relatively non-toxic and environmentally safe paint stripping compositions are disclosed for use in removing, for example, oil based alkyd and latex paints, varnishes, lacquers, shellacs, enamels, polyurethane and epoxy coatings from wood and metal surfaces at ambient temperatures. It has been unexpectedly found that C.sub.3 -C.sub.7 ether esters and carbonates of the form R--O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOR.sub.1, wherein R and R.sub.1 are lower alkyl groups and n=0-2, used in combination with tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) increase the rate of paint removal relative to THFA alone. Other ingredients, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), gamma-butyrolactone (BLAC) may be added to improve the efficacy of the present invention without detracting from its other beneficial properties. Additives such as formic acid, surfactant, thickener, corrosion inhibitor, fragrance, and bittering agent may also be added.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1993Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Rust-Oleum CorporationInventor: Marion M. Myers, II

Patent number: 4857578Abstract: A water repellent coating for wood substrates is presented. The coating comprises a highly dispersed mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene, alkyd resin and microcrystalline wax. Dispersion of the polytetrafluoroethylene and microcrystalline wax as discrete particles prevents delamination of successive coats while providing intercoat adhesion. Also presented is a process for the preparation of water repellent wood coatings that prohibits microcrystalline wax breakdown.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1988Date of Patent: August 15, 1989Assignee: Rust-Oleum CorporationInventor: Robert M.
