Abstract: The present invention relates to pressure sensitive adhesive compositions which are prepared by heating a mixture of a polydiorganosiloxane, a silicone resin copolymer, and an organic amine compound or metal salt thereof, and then adding an organic peroxide or azo compound to the resultant reaction product. The silicone pressure sensitive adhesives of this invention are useful in preparing articles such as pressure sensitive tapes, labels, emblems and other decorative or informational signs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making silicone pressure sensitive adhesive compositions comprising the steps of heating a mixture of a polydiorganosiloxane, a silicone resin copolymer, and an equilibration catalyst, and then adding an organic peroxide or azo compound to the resultant reaction product. The silicone pressure sensitive adhesives prepared by the method of this invention are useful in preparing articles such as pressure sensitive tapes, labels, emblems and other decorative or informational signs.

Abstract: A multi-ply paper product wherein the plies are adhesively joined together. One or both of the plies may have embossments protruding towards and contacting the other ply. The plies are adhesively joined, preferably at such embossments. The adhesive is selected from a composition that advantageously provides a minimum wet ply bond strength and a dry ply bond strength which falls within a particularly desired range.

Abstract: A method for pipeline padding for reducing the size of spoil disposed in a pile utilizes a vehicle having first and second sides adapted for movement on the surface of the spoil pile. The vehicle includes first and second surface engaging devices disposed on each side of the vehicle. The spoil is crushed using a crushing assembly connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle. Spoil is transferred using a transferring assembly connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle for transferring spoil from the pile to the crushing assembly. Disposed between the vehicle sides, adjacent the transferring assembly and connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle is a control structure for controlling passage of spoil from the spoil pile forward of the surface engaging devices to a position under the surface engaging devices.

Abstract: A self-loading mobile crusher system for reducing the size of debris disposed in a pile includes a vehicle having first and second sides adapted for movement on the surface of the debris pile. The vehicle includes first and second surface engaging devices disposed on each side of the vehicle. A debris crushing assembly is connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle. A debris transferring assembly is connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle for transferring debris from the pile to the crushing assembly. Disposed between the vehicle sides, adjacent the transferring assembly and connected to the vehicle for movement with the vehicle is a control structure for controlling passage of debris from the debris pile forward of the surface engaging devices to a position under the surface engaging devices.

Abstract: This invention relates to pressure sensitive adhesive compositions which are obtained by a method comprising reacting a mixture comprising at least one polydiorganosiloxane, at least one silicone resin copolymer, at least one solvent or plasticizer selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids having at least six carbon atoms and having a boiling point of at least 200.degree.C. and amines having at least 9 carbon atoms and having a boiling point of at least 200.degree.C. to form a reaction product, and then adding an organic peroxide or azo compound to the resultant reaction product. The silicone pressure sensitive adhesives of this invention are useful in preparing articles such as pressure sensitive tapes, labels, emblems and other decorative or informational signs.

Abstract: A process for incorporating a fine particulate filler such as kaolin clay into tissue paper is disclosed. The process results in strong, soft, and low dusting tissue paper webs useful in the manufacture of soft, absorbent sanitary products such as bath tissue, facial tissue, and absorbent towels.

Abstract: A folding tent for dogs and other domestic animals is provided which is sturdy in structure, convenient to set up and knock down, and substantially rigid when assembled. The tent includes a foldable frame comprising a pair of U-shaped support members pivotally attached to another U-shaped frame member which serves as a base. Each U-shaped support member is pivotable from a folded position to an upright position. The frame includes a set of support rods which are attachable longitudinally between the U-shaped support members in the upright positions. A cover is adapted to fit over the upright U-shaped support members and support rods to provide a protective enclosure. Preferably, the U-shaped support members are pivotally mounted on stabilizer rods extending transversely between the legs of the U-shaped base member which enhance the rigidity of the frame. A plurality of fastening straps are provided on the cover to enable the frame and cover to be firmly secured to the ground.
