Abstract: The present invention involves a 100% solids, radiation curable adhesive formulation for adhesion to EVA. This formulation may have varying compositions, as discussed in detail herein. However primarily the composition may comprise at least a monomer, and a chlorinated additive. Photo initiators may be used to allow for low temperature UV or other radiation curing. Other additives may be used to enhance functional features in various ways. In use, the present invention may be coated on a surface of EVA and then cured, and may be adhered to a substrate using only a layer of adhesive on the substrate, in contrast to the structures of the prior art, which require at least two sided adhesive application, among other complexities.

Abstract: A quick installation pipe coupling includes a supporting barrier ring that is located between a gasket and a bottom wall of an annular channel that is defined by housing segments in between arcuate engaging shoulders thereof. The supporting barrier ring extends as a protective barrier circumferentially around an outer surface of the gasket, and is dimensioned and configured to support the housing segments spaced-apart in a pre-assembled ready for installation state of the coupling with their arcuate engaging shoulders delimiting insertion openings towards the central space that are larger than cross-sectional dimensions of the pipe ends before tightening of connection members.
