  • Patent number: 7452284
    Abstract: A golf club rest removably securable to the golf bag of a golfer, and utilized to support a plurality of golf clubs in a substantially vertical position when the golfer must venture a distance from the golf cart, the golf club rest comprising a vertical leg portion having a ground engaging end for insertion into the ground, a club support end being an arcuate surface in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertical leg portion and covered with a resilient material, an attachment finger secured to said vertical leg portion proximate said second end, the attachment finger spaced apart from the vertical leg a distance sufficient to allow the upper peripheral edge of a golf bag to be slidably inserted there between, the arcuate club support end coextensive with the curvature of the peripheral edge of the golf bag when so positioned thereon.

  • Publication number: 20070031605
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for providing water repellency and stain resistance to a masonry surface wherein an aqueous based water repellant polymeric coating is applied thereto and the water removed leaving a water repellent polymeric film adhered to the masonry surface. The improvement in the process resides in the use of an aqueous emulsion of a semi-crystalline ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer formed by emulsion polymerization wherein the polymer has: (a) a crystalline melting point ranging from 35 to 110° C. measured at a heat rate of 20° C. per minute; and, (b) a tensile storage modulus of at least 1×105 dynes/cm2 at a temperature of 115° C. and measured at 6.28 rad/sec.

  • Publication number: 20050196540
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in a process for imparting barrier properties to porous substrates, such as, concrete, masonry products, and wood products. The process comprises the steps of: applying an aqueous based sealing composition comprising a polymeric resin to said porous substrate, evaporating the water and forming a water repellent coating of said polymeric resin on said porous substrate. The improvement comprises: deriving the polymeric resin from an aqueous based polymer emulsion comprising a polymer comprised of emulsion polymerized units of vinyl acetate and ethylene, preferably with a carboxylic acid monomer, the polymer containing amorphous and crystalline ethylene segments and having: (a) a crystalline melting point (Tm) ranging from 35 to 110° C., preferably 50 to 100° C.; measured at a heat rate of 20° C./minute; and, (b) a tensile storage modulus of at least 1×105 dynes/cm2 at 115° C. measured at 6.28 rad/sec.
