Publication number: 20230008093Abstract: An aircraft flooring system is provided, made up of a low-weight carpet tile which functions both as a moisture barrier and as the loop part of a hook-and-loop system, for coupling to a hook part of a hook-and-loop system, which is bound to an aircraft floor. Specifically, a barrier backing within the carpet tile, comprising a nonwoven fabric portion, is able to act as the moisture barrier and the loop part, which allows for coupling of the carpet tile with the floor, without the need to add additional loops to the carpet tile, thereby realizing savings in material cost and weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: January 12, 2023Inventors: Martin Shamis, Nathan Stevenson

Patent number: 8353883Abstract: Elastomeric articles, such as gloves are disclosed. The gloves include a primary matrix made from one or more elastomeric materials and a foam donning layer. In one embodiment, for instance, the donning layer can be formed from a polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam can be created from the reaction product of a polyurethane prepolymer and a solution containing water. The resulting foam can be hydrophilic and can absorb moisture for preventing moisture from being trapped between the primary matrix and a user's skin.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: David W. Johnson, Martin Shamis, Alison Salyer Bagwell

Publication number: 20060143767Abstract: A protective article formed of a laminate between at least a layer of a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable barrier, and at least a layer of a stretchable or elastomeric, nonwoven fiber web is described. The barrier is reinforced at least on one side by the nonwoven fiber web, which remains elastic after being bonded to the barrier layer. The elasticity of both barrier and bonded fiber layers simulate the flexibility of natural or synthetic latex or other polymer films. The nonwoven fiber web includes at least about 75% of individual fibers with a length of over about 1 mm, and the fibers are substantially continuous. A second nonwoven web, a second barrier layer, or both may be attached to the exterior side of the breathable barrier.

Publication number: 20060140994Abstract: An elastomeric article having reducing microbe affinity and transmission and methods for applying and immobilizing antimicrobial compounds to the elastomeric substrate surface are disclosed. The elastomeric article has a body formed of a natural or synthetic polymer latex having an outer surface and an inner surface. The body has a coating of an antimicrobial agent over at least a portion of said outer surface. The treatment involves applying according to either a spraying or dipping process an antimicrobial polymer or composition to a surface of the elastomeric substrate; binding the antimicrobial composition to the surface in a manner such that said treat antimicrobial coating passes either one or another or both versions of a zone of inhibition test, such test including: a) a dry-leaching or agar-plate-based contact test, according to AATCC 147 protocol, or b) a wet-leaching or dynamic shake flask test according to ASTM E-2149-01 protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2004Publication date: June 29, 2006Inventors: Alison Bagwell, David Koenig, Martin Shamis, Jali Williams
