Patent number: 11034866Abstract: An adhesive article is described comprising a foamed adhesive layer and a non-foamed adhesive layer. The adhesive of each adhesive layer comprises a tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate copolymer; an epoxy resin; a polyether polyol; and optionally a hydroxy-functional film-forming polymer. The adhesive may be used in structural and semi-structural bonding applications and is designed to fail cohesively.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Cyrus A. Anderson, Kathleen S. Shafer, Thomas Q. Chastek, Jonathan E. Janoski, Michael C. Martin, Anthony F. Schultz, Carla S. Thomas, Peter O. Rekow

Patent number: 6277178Abstract: A respirator (10) includes a filter cartridge (12) that has a housing (16) and a bonded sorbent filter element (20). Housing (16) includes a sleeve (32) that has an inner surface (36) and a folded edge (42). The filter element (18) includes a bonded sorbent filter element (20) that is pressed against the sleeve's inner surface (36) and that is held in the sleeve (32) by the folded edge (42).Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Thomas W. Holmquist-Brown, Peter O. Rekow

Publication number: 20010013347Abstract: A respirator 10 includes a compressible filter element 12, a filter element retainer 14, and a face piece 16. The respirator is unique in that the filter element 12 compresses when installed in the retainer 14, allowing a friction fit to be maintained between the filter element 12 and retainer 14. The friction fit enables the filter element 12 to be readily replaced when its service life has expired.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2001Publication date: August 16, 2001Applicant: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Peter O. Rekow, Thomas W. Holmquist-Brown, David L. Braun, Vaughn B. Grannis

Patent number: 5579761Abstract: A respirator (10) that includes a face piece (14) and a cartridge receiving structure (22) located on the face piece (14). The face piece (14) is sized to fit snugly over the nose and mouth of a person, and the filter cartridge (12) is capable of being manually snapped into engagement with the cartridge receiving structure (22). The snap-fit can be instantaneously obtained without rotational movement of the filter cartridge (12), simply by pressing the filter cartridge (12) against the receiving structure (22).Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Gregory Yuschak, Peter O. Rekow, Thomas W. Holmquist-Brown

Patent number: 5078132Abstract: Shaped porous filtering structures of substantially uniform thickness and density particularly suited for filtration of gases and vapors comprising spaced adsorbent granules unified into a solid, self-sustaining, unitary, impact-resistant body by adherent binder particles, respirators incorporating such structures as the gas and vapor filtration elements and methods for making the shaped porous filtering structures are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1991Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: David L. Braun, Peter O. Rekow

Patent number: 5035240Abstract: Elastomeric nonwoven fibrous fluid filter media for removal of particulate contaminants from the fluid are provided. The filter media comprises thermoplastic elastomeric melt-blown small diameter fibers, the small diameter fibers being randomly arrayed, the filter media having substantially uniform stretch properties in all directions and whose filtration properties are independent of filter media elongations sufficient to increase the filter media surface area at least about 10 percent. The filter media is particularly useful as a prefilter on respirators.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 1990Date of Patent: July 30, 1991Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: David L. Braun, Peter O. Rekow, Daniel E. Meyer
