  • Publication number: 20220379501
    Abstract: A utility knife, a blade member for use therewith, and a method of using the same; The knife has an ergonomically designed, symmetrical handle with resilient grips for a user's palm and fingers provided on opposing top and bottom walls of the housing. The blade member has two opposed cutting surfaces aligned with the housings top and bottom walls. A tape engagement clip is provided on a leading end of the knife and secures a free end of a measuring tape to the knife. The knife may be gripped and used in two different orientations located 180 degrees apart. The tape engagement clip pivots to enable the free end of the measuring tape to be secured to the knife regardless of which cutting surface is used to cut an article. Alternatively, the clip may be moved to the opposing side wall of the knife.

  • Patent number: 10717905
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive compound containing a multi-armed vinyl aromatic block copolymer, one or more adhesive resins, and one or more auxiliary crosslinking agents. The invention also relates to an adhesive means comprising said adhesive compound and a carrier material and/or a cover. The invention also relates to a method for producing such an adhesive means. Compared to adhesive systems known up until now, such an adhesive means demonstrates clearly improved adhesion to hard, non-polar surfaces such as, for example, novel coated surfaces in the automotive industry.
