  • Patent number: 7818941
    Abstract: A method of forming a safer and more secure containment for the removal or isolation of harmful and/or noxious particulate materials. The containment is formed using adhesive coated plastic sheeting to form an isolated enclosure. The adhesive holds the sheeting under negative pressure and is removable with minimal damage or transfer to wall and floor surfaces.

  • Patent number: 5503325
    Abstract: A pretaped container blank which may be quickly and easily formed into a three-dimensional container without the need for additional components or tools. The container blank includes (i) a plurality of interconnected panels, and (ii) a plurality of closure flaps including a carrier flap hingedly connected to at least one of the panels. The tape structure is attached to the container blank and includes (i) a release surface on the carrier flap, and (ii) a length of closure adhesive tape extending over substantially the entire length of the release surface and a distance across the panel or flap to which the carrier flap is connected sufficient for the tape to remain attached to the container blank upon removal of that length of the tape from the release surface. Several embodiments of container blanks and tape structures are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4103056
    Abstract: Resilient wood replication especially suited for use as floor covering is provided by a thick resilient elastomeric polyurethane base having a wood-stained molded textured wood-grain surface which is overcoated with a clear, tough, abrasion-resistant, flexible, water-resistant polyurethane protective coating. A preferred configuration of the resilient wood replication is a floor tile having opposed mating ends and two parallel sides and a surface configuration having a grain appearance of a plurality of parqueted natural wood pieces. A multiplicity of the tiles can be applied to the floor with complimentary ends fitted together to provide a continuous mass of tile having the actual lines between separate tiles virtually indistinguishable to the casual observer.
