  • Publication number: 20200138248
    Abstract: A cleaning pad with a reinforcement layer and a method for making the same. The cleaning pad has a first layer of material with a reinforcement layer applied to a first side of the first layer. A second layer of the first material is then applied over the reinforcement layer. An imprinting device then pressed into the top side of the cleaning pad to give the pad a textured surface. In addition, more layers of material can be added to the cleaning pad. By adding another layer of adhesive to the cleaning pad then applying more layers of material the cleaning pad can be made of any thickness desired. By adding a second adhesive to a select number of sheets of the cleaning pad a core is created. Any number of cleaning pad sheets can then be rolled onto the core to create a roll of cleaning pads.

  • Publication number: 20200121135
    Abstract: A solution dispensing device including a housing that has an interior volume. The housing holds a solution reservoir and an actuator body that is movably mounted to the housing. The actuator body is operably connected to a dispensing assembly. The dispensing assembly includes a solution chamber disposed within the actuator body. The solution chamber has an interior volume with a first inlet and a first outlet. The first outlet is in fluid communication with a dispensing passageway. When in the dispensing position the actuator body is moved toward a surface of a material positioned adjacent the dispensing passageway. A material sensing trigger is connected to the actuator body and the trigger is configured to sense a targeted material by pressing against the material. The material sensing trigger is further configured to allow the dispensing assembly to dispense a measured amount of solution onto the targeted material through the dispensing passageway.

  • Patent number: 10368642
    Abstract: A reclining chaize lounge for resting. The reclining chaize lounge includes a base frame having a front leg and a rear leg, a seat panel and a back panel. The back panel is hingedly secured to the base frame via a seat reclining mechanism that is configured to adjust the angle of the back panel relative to the seat panel and bias the back panel toward a forward position. Two support members connect the back panel to a track having recessed notches disposed along the base frame. When a lever is engaged, the recessed notches disengage, allowing the support members, and thus the back member, to easily adjust position. If no pressure is applied to the back panel when the lever is engaged, a spring mechanism automatically pushes the back panel toward a forward position. A canopy affixed to the back panel is provided for sun protection.

  • Patent number: 10173700
    Abstract: A top of rail (TOR) applicator has a bar positioned in a housing and an exit orifice on the upper portion of the bar for delivering a friction control composition to the crown of a railhead. The upper portion of the bar slopes away from the friction control composition exit orifice. The bar may be composed of an elastomer such as polyurethane. A passageway may extend from an inlet port to the exit orifice. The friction reduction composition is pumped into the inlet port, through the passageway to the exit orifice and then onto the crown of the railhead. The friction reduction composition may be thixotropic.

  • Patent number: 10059549
    Abstract: A paper roll and method of manufacturing. The paper roll includes a plurality of sheets spirally wound forming a roll. The roll includes a first end and a second end, wherein the first end forms an inner section. The inner section defines an axial passageway that extends from a first side of the roll to a second side of the roll. An adhesive that can stiffen the inner section joins the plurality of sheets of the first end. The method for manufacturing the paper roll includes winding the plurality of sheets about a low-friction tube to form a roll, applying an adhesive to the plurality of sheets at a first end of the roll forming an inner section having an axial passageway, curing the adhesive configured to stiffen the inner section, and removing the low-friction tube from the roll.
