  • Apparatus for spray-bonding tissue
    Publication number: 20040060664
    Abstract: Multi-ply tissue product is bonded by an adhesive spray whose position is controlled so that the web path distance between the spray application and the location where the webs are forced together permits sprayed adhesive to partially but not completely set during travel over that web path distance at operating web speeds. Typically, the web path distance between the nozzle and the location is more than 140 inches. The webs are positioned one in back of the other and each is unwound onto its own carrier roll, with the spray positioned between the carrier rolls.

  • Stepladder foot pad
    Patent number: 5141076
    Abstract: A device to be used on the legs of standard wooden folding stepladders to insure the stability of said ladders while being used on weak, non-compacted or slippery areas, into which a stepladder might tend to sink, or across which a stepladder might tend to slide.Said device consists of a semi-rigid pad that when attached to the bottom of any or all of the legs of any standard wooden folding stepladder will then increase the stepladder leg footprint area resulting in more stability of said stepladder. In addition, the high friction material of which the stepladder foot pad may be constructed will tend to prevent the stepladder legs from slipping across slippery surfaces.
