Patent number: 5019424Abstract: A decorative container is made by dipping into baths of molten wax, different colors of wax being provided in different baths for successive dipping to provide a multi-colored laminated wax coating on the container. Decorative designs at various locations on the container are formed by carving the wax and turning the laminae outward various degrees, and entirely in use instances, inverting the layers to provide various colors of design.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1988Date of Patent: May 28, 1991Assignee: Moonflower Vases CompanyInventor: John Strelnieks

Patent number: 4956199Abstract: There is disclosed a method of making a roofing ply by providing a fiberglass mat, feeding the mat through a punching die and punching openings through the surface thereof. The mat is thereafter saturated with melted asphalt at a melting temperature of at least about 450 degrees F to impart an elastic memory to the mat.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1989Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Inventor: Santo J. Ruisi

Patent number: 4873303Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a reinforced product of bituminous material comprises drawing a reinforcing mat through a tank of molten bituminous material to impregnate the mat, pulling the impregnated mat through metering rolls to establish the final thickness of the reinforced product, and controlling the relative position of the mat within the reinforced product by controlling the angle of incidence of the impregnated mat with respect to the metering rolls.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1986Date of Patent: October 10, 1989Assignee: Owens-Corning Fiberglas CorporationInventors: Albert J. Blackwood, Thomas R. Brady

Patent number: 4859509Abstract: Textile warp sizing compositions and hydrophobic starch derivatives useful therefor are provided. The compositions strengthen and protect warp yarns as well as render textile lubricants uniformly dispersible thereon. The compositions additionally facilitate efficient lubricant removal during desizing. The hydrophobic starch derivatives contain an ether, simple ester of half-acid ester substituent with a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon chain of at least 5 carbon atoms.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1988Date of Patent: August 22, 1989Assignee: National Starch and Chemical CorporationInventors: Michael J. Hasuly, Peter T. Trzasko

Patent number: 4851263Abstract: A method and an apparatus for applying molten wax to one face of a wafer is disclosed. A container having an upwardly facing opening contains the molten wax. The wafer is held substantially horizontally above the opening of the container, with one face of the wafer facing downwardly toward the opening of the container. At least one of the container and the wafer is moved toward the other to bring the opening of the container and underside of the wafer into contact with each other to thereby apply a predetermined amount of molten wax within the container to the underside of the wafer. Preferably, the container is filled with the molten wax such that the molten wax stands up, under surface tension, above a peripheral edge of the opening of the container. Preferably, the wafer is spinned around its central axis in a high speed so that the molten wax applied at the central portion thereof is spread on the entire surface of the wafer and that the extra wax is scattered out of the wafer.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1987Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignees: Mitsubishi Kinzoku Kabushiki Kaisha, Japan Silicon Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Ishii, Yukio Tsutsumi, Kazunori Saeki, Mitsuji Koyama
