Patent number: 11458871Abstract: Seat covers for a seat with a headrest are disclosed. The design includes a seat cover for a seat having a headrest, including a backrest cover sized to at least partially cover a backrest of the seat, an opening disposed on the backrest cover sized to allow the headrest to pass therethrough, and a flap sized to cover the opening and that is transitionable between a closed position and an open position. The opening is sized similar to the flap and the backrest cover has a securable slit provided therein. The flap in the open position and the slit in an unsecured orientation enables the seat cover to fit over the headrest, and the flap can be closed under the headrest and the securable slit secured to form a closed orientation.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Plasticolor Molded Products Inc.Inventors: Shawn A. Diamond, Eric M. Peterson

Patent number: 9804305Abstract: Methods for preparing edge-sealed multi-layer film articles include applying a sealant composition to a multi-layer film article that includes at least one polymeric film layer, and permitting the sealant composition to dry to form an edge-sealed article. The sealant composition includes at least one solvent capable of softening, penetrating or dissolving the polymeric film layer of the multi-layer film article, and at least one polymer dissolved in the solvent. The polymer dissolved in the solvent may be a fluoropolymer, a non-tacky at ambient temperatures(meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, or a combination thereof. Edge-sealed articles prepared by this method can include other polymeric film layers or coated layers such as metallic layers and can be part of larger assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Rajesh K. Katare, Eric M. Peterson, Sierra V. Schmidt

Patent number: 8920083Abstract: The presented embodiments provide a system (10) for transporting a load (12) via multiple conveyance types. The system (10) includes a supporting member (22, 23) configured for attachment to the load (12), including a vehicle interface portion (40, 42), a first supporting member interface portion for attachment to the first vehicle of a first conveyance type, and a second supporting member interface portion for attachment to the second vehicle of a second conveyance type. The vehicle interface portion and the first and second supporting member interface portions are cooperatively configured such that when the load (12) is attached to the supporting member (22, 23) it can be moved between the first and second vehicles by a vertical lift and place move selectively parting and joining the vehicle interface portion with the first and second supporting member interface portions without the necessity of joining or separating a fastener.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Eric M.
