Abstract: This invention provides a surface modifying laminate. The laminate includes an indicia containing layer disposed against the lower surface of a carrier film. The laminate may optionally include a bonding coat or layer for attaching the laminate to a surface, at least one removable protective layer, and a release coating for facilitating the transfer of the laminate on a surface.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for modifying the appearance of a surface using a thin laminate. The laminate includes an indicia containing layer disposed against the lower surface of a carrier film. The laminate may optionally include a bonding coat or layer for attaching the laminate to a surface, at least one removable protective layer, and a release coating for facilitating the transfer of the laminate on a surface.

Abstract: An extraction cleaning device housing multiple cleaning solutions that can dispensed by manipulation of a control coupled to the extraction device. Multiple cleaning solution supply reservoirs are coupled to the cleaning device and in fluid communication with a dispensing head. Through the use of the control, an operator can select a specific cleaning solution for a specific application. Manipulation of the control allows for nearly instantaneous conversion between cleaning solutions for different applications. Some embodiments of the cleaning device have a housing with an end that engages the ground during cleaning operations. The housing at least partially contains several cleaning solution supply reservoirs, a rinse fluid reservoir, and an extracted fluid reservoir. A vacuum source can also be housed within the housing.

Abstract: A fluid absorbent tape is divided into sections that can be separated to customize the length of the tape and simplify use. In one embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes an absorbent material enclosed in a fluid permeable cover to form an elongated fluid absorbent tape. Separating structure formed in a transverse direction through the elongated fluid absorbent tape divides the elongated tape into a first section of fluid absorbent tape and a second section of fluid absorbent tape. The first section of fluid absorbent tape is separable from the second section of fluid absorbent tape along the separating structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the fluid absorbent tape includes a fluid absorbent material including a super absorbent polymer. An elongated fluid permeable cover having a length encloses the fluid absorbent material, and is divided into sections along the length.

Abstract: A device for use when there is a spill including a spill cleaning device which can collect liquid and solid debris from a surface. The spill cleaning device includes at least one squeegee. The spill cleaning device further includes a sachet member containing a cleaner and/or a sanitizer to clean the surface after the debris is collected. The spill cleaning device is designed for simple operation and to eliminate the need for multiple items to clean a spill.

Abstract: A self-erecting device which can serve as a signaling unit as well as a debris collection unit. The signaling unit provides a chamber for debris and has an opening for the collection of debris therein. A base member has a beveled edge to facilitate the collection of debris into the chamber. The self-erecting and debris collection device is simple in construction and easy to operate.

Abstract: A self-erecting device which can serve as a signaling unit. An absorbent pad connected to a self-erecting device results in a combined signal and spill absorbing unit. The self-erecting and absorbing device is simple in construction and easy to operate. In an alternative embodiment, the self-erecting device can include a carpet cleaner in the absorbent pad.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-component chlorine dioxide producing system. The invention produces effective amounts of chlorine dioxide in five minutes or less without instantaneous production or loss of chlorine dioxide. The invention further includes a dispensing apparatus to allow for the dispensing of the multi component system to allow for insitu production of chlorine dioxide.
