Abstract: The present invention is directed to golf equipment packages using a coating that gives a color traveling effect. The color traveling coating can be applied to golf equipments such as golf balls, golf gloves and golf clubs, and to golf equipment display. In addition, because the coating reflects ultraviolet light, it can be coated on golf balls and golf clubs to prevent discoloration under ultraviolet light.

Abstract: A method of marking an article with a watermark that diffracts radiation according to Bragg's law is disclosed. The watermark includes a periodic array of particles fixed in a matrix. The watermark may change colors with viewing angle, disappear and reappear with viewing angle or may diffract non-visible radiation that is detectable at certain angles of detection.

Abstract: A radiation diffraction material comprising an ordered periodic array of particles held in a polymeric matrix is disclosed; the particles each comprise a core surrounded by a shell of a non-film forming composition that is different from the matrix. Methods for using the material are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to golf ball packages using a coating that gives a soft touch and antiglare effects. In addition, the soft touch coating can be applied to golf equipments, such as golf balls, golf gloves and golf clubs, and to golf displays. The coating may also have a color traveling effect.

Abstract: Substrates with one or more coatings having both color effect and tactile effect are disclosed. The color effect composition and tactile effect composition can be included in the same coating or in different coatings.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing, constriction, simultaneous closure and severance of a strip of plastic-Like material, in particular a multilayer extruded strip, at specified intervals, and for simultaneous closure of a casing, comprises a tool having two tool parts, each part consisting of plurality of segments which move within themselves. At least one of the tool parts consists of two sections that are separable from each other between closed and open positions and each of which contains some of the segments.

Abstract: A protective and decorative coating composition including semiconductor particulate colorants which in combination with a resinous composition produce a desired color. The colorants are semiconductor particles which exhibit sized-quantized absorption of visible light and have a particle size of up to about 12 nm.
