  • Patent number: 5776605
    Abstract: A replacement surface covering an existing surface conforming surface irregularities of the existing surface to present a top surface with a relatively smooth contour, and a self-curing, waterproof adhesive layer which envelops and seals any cracks on the existing surface and promotes an intimate bond between the replacement surface and the existing surface. A design layer may be provided between the replacement surface and the existing surface. Double-sided tape may also be used to secure the replacement surface to the existing surface.

  • Patent number: 5415352
    Abstract: A manifold is disclosed for increasing the efficiency and consistency of air pressure driven spray systems, especially high volume, low pressure paint spraying systems. Paint or other liquid product is pushed by air pressure from a plastic bottle to the manifold, and from the manifold to a spray gun. The manifold has internal fluid passageways configured to increase the velocity of product discharge, resulting in enhanced product delivery for spray deposition, and adequate consistent discharge regardless of spray gun elevation. A customized product container lid is disclosed for use with the manifold. The apparatus maintains liquid product and pressurized air in separate lines for ease of cleaning.
