  • Rolled Sheets of Floor Covering and Manufacture
    Publication number: 20160185547
    Abstract: A roll of a sheet material such as a sheet vinyl floor covering and a process of manufacturing the roll to prevent the leading edge of the floor covering from causing damage to succeeding layers. The process comprises winding the sheet material about the surface of a roll core and inserting a thin sheet of a relatively stiff material, such as paperboard, between the leading edge of the sheet material and the next succeeding layer of sheet material. The relatively stiff material is inserted under tension so that the leading edge of sheet material is pulled down against the surface of the roll core.

  • Pair of tires for two wheeled vehicle
    Patent number: 4880043
    Abstract: To provide good handling behavior for a motorcycle, the belt of the rear motorcycle tire has threads extending parallel to the equatorial plane and the slip angles of the tires as a function of the camber (slip angle .delta. as a function of camber angle .gamma.) are such that the difference: front slip angle .delta.2 minus rear slip angle .delta.1 as a function of camber angle .gamma. is an invariably increasing function of .gamma..
