  • Patent number: 7803239
    Abstract: Self-adhering flashing cap strip and end lap connector cap sheet assemblies include a reinforcing layer encapsulated within self-adhering bitumen. The bottom major surfaces of the flashing cap strips and the connector end lap cap sheets are formed by the self-adhering bitumen and the top major surfaces of the flashing cap strips and the connector end lap cap sheets have lateral edge portions formed by the self-adhering bitumen and a coated central portion that extends between the lateral edge portions. The flashing cap strips are used to interconnect cap sheets at roof surface intersections in the formation of waterproof roofing layers and the connector end lap sheets are used to connect lengths of cap sheets at the job site.

  • Patent number: 5600855
    Abstract: A decorative cover for the adjusting straps on a cap of the type having overlapping adjusting straps in the back, wherein the cover is made from a flat sheet of material folded to define looped ends and generally parallel front and back panels. The panels are adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of the adjusting straps with the looped ends disposed in proximity to one another. Removable fasteners are received in the looped ends to retain the folded sheet of material in place on the adjusting straps. Advertising or other promotional material or decorative items may be placed on the front panel. In one form of the invention, the fasteners are bobby-pin-shaped spring clips which are inserted into opposite ends of the looped ends. In another form of the invention, the fasteners are magnets which are received in the looped ends so that the looped ends are held together when they are placed in proximity with one another.
