Abstract: This application is designated for use on the adhesive surface of plastic foam laminates. Such laminates can stop heat loss from architectural glass about 90-98%. The industry standard for covering silicone adhesive calls for fluoro-silicone coated films. Due to the unsuitability of these cover films, a new cover film is proposed. The preferred cover film is described as a tulle polyester/nylon mesh film about 1-5 mils thick.

Abstract: Analogous to a bug screen for windows, an Energy Screen is a rigid frame covered with two clear films of plastic which is applied fittingly to the interior of a window. This will conserve the heating and cooling load of a house by as much as 42%. An easy to assemble kit is disclosed which does not require sawing rigid members, but installs with scissors as the only tool.

Abstract: A new adhereable window insulation material is disclosed which will reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool a building. An advancement in removable, reusable adherent technology is used to adhere thermal insulation material to a smooth surface substrate such as glass. An insulation material such as polyethylene foam can save as much as 46% of the heating load for single glaze glass and 38% for double glaze glass.

Abstract: A method for making removable, reusable adhesive products from soft, solvent-free rubber compositions is disclosed. The rubber compositions are packed together by molding them into thin coatings between a release film and a porous substrate to allow curing. The resultant product has highly desirable bonding and release properties on smooth and porous surfaces. Product applications included are automotive windshield covers, home window insulation curtains, photograph mounting boards, and indoor sign-making backgrounds.
