  • Reversible lap top TV tray
    Patent number: 5732849
    Abstract: A reversible lap top TV tray includes a flexible fabric housing with a rigid tray removably mounted within a depression in the top wall in the housing. The housing is substantially filled with a lightweight flowable granular material, so as to conform the housing to the shape of a support. A cup holder is removably connected through a hole in the tray to permit attachment of the cup holder to either the top or bottom surface of the tray, thereby permitting reversibility of the tray in the housing depression. A generally cylindrical rim portion extending around the depression retains the tray in position within the depression in the housing.

  • Process for preparing an aqueous undertread adhesive composition
    Patent number: 4623414
    Abstract: A process for preparing an aqueous adhesive composition which comprises preparing a solvent dispersion by mixing rubber, carbon black, vulcanizing agent, tackifying resin and accelerator with sufficient organic solvent to form a solvent dispersion and thereafter emulsifying the solvent dispersion in the presence of water to form an aqueous emulsion. The aqueous emulsion may be used to bond unvulcanized rubber compounds, such as a tread stock to the carcass portion during the formation of a tire.
