  • Patent number: 9822289
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyurethane composition comprising one first component and one second component, said first component comprising an alkoxylated aromatic diol, a low molecular aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diol, a specific polybutadiene polyol and a specific polyetherpolyol, in specific ratios. The hardened composition is characterized by having good adhesion characteristics, a resistance which is only slightly dependent on the temperature, in the temperature range of ?35 to +85° C. and also very high resistances. It is particularly suitable as a structural adhesive for bonding two substrates.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7175295
    Abstract: A hands-free apparatus for illuminating an area surrounding a user's body includes a plurality of flexible tubes having mateable proximal end portions and spaced distal end portions positionable at a predetermined spatial relationship disposed forwardly of the proximal end portions. A power supply source is internally situated within the flexible tubes. A plurality of light-emitting sources are connected to the flexible tubes and electrically coupled to the power supply source respectively. The light-emitting sources each include a switch operably connected to the power supply sources such that a user may independently toggle each light-emitting sources between operating and non-operating modes. The switches are preferably connected to a plurality of housings encasing the light-emitting sources and are positioned distal to a maintaining mechanism medially attached to the flexible tubes.
