Patent number: 6986928Abstract: Improved tablecloth and device for fixing the skin of the tablecloth, the tablecloth comprising an independent skirt which can be detachably held to the board of the table by means which enable a variable distribution of the fixing points, and a cover which is placed on the surface of the table board and hanging sideways and hiding the edge of the board as well as the fixing points of the skirt. The device for fixing the skirt comprises a frame which is fixed to the lower part of the table board, and at a predetermined distance from the edge of the board, remaining slightly separated therefrom by discontinuous portions which can be integral with the frame or not. A variable number of C-shaped parts are placed on the frame which embrace it and are held by means of a narrowing section configured by its own branches, thereby enabling the lateral displacement along the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2001Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Inventor: Maria José Almansa Perea

Patent number: 6974616Abstract: A thermoglue binding tape to protect and decorate carpet's edges and borders with a fuse system. An adhesive is disposed at strategic locations on a tape. In one embodiment, the adhesive completely covers one surface of the tape and the tape is bent into a channel shape that adhesively captures the unfinished edge of the carpet. In another embodiment, one strip of adhesive extends along one surface of the tape adjacent one edge thereof, another strip of adhesive extends along the other surface of the tape adjacent the other edge thereof, and the tape is bent into a channel shape that adhesively captures the unfinished edge of the carpet, with a terminating portion of the tape bent under itself. In still another embodiment, one strip of adhesive completely covers one surface of the tape and another strip of adhesive extends along the other surface thereof adjacent one edge thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2004Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Inventor: Benigno G.

Patent number: 6967046Abstract: An adhesive-based sticker for adhering to a surface and incorporating a pocket between the surface and the sticker for insertion of objects into the pocket and removal therefrom. A sticker substrate is provided with a first section and a flap section with a fold line therebetween. An adhesive is provided on at least a portion of the back surface, and upon folding the flap section at the fold line, the back surface of the flap section is adhered to a portion of the back surface of the first section. When the sticker substrate is applied to a mounting surface, a pocket is formed between the sticker substrate and the mounting surface in registry with at least the portion of the flap section adhered to the first section. The pocket so formed may be bound around the entire perimeter excluding the fold line or may be a through-pocket.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2003Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Inventors: Marilyn Bollinger, Howard Bollinger

Patent number: 6964805Abstract: A tack label difficult to peel from a container in a processing environment with normal temperature water and easy to peel from the container in a processing environment with hot water and a plastic container. The tack label according to this invention includes a label base material, a printing layer formed on one surface of this label base material, and an adhesive layer formed on the surface of the other of a label base material. The adhesive layer comprises an adhesive that is difficult to dissolve under an environment with normal temperature water and easy to dissolve under a processing environment with hot water. The result is a tack label that is difficult to peel from the container in a washing process, but easy to peel in a regenerating process.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 1999Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Kuriyama, Shuichi Koshio, Takashi Miya, Masashi Sasaki, Kiyokazu Ikai

Patent number: RE40024Abstract: This invention relates to the partial printing of a substrate with a plurality of layers to form a partially printed panel. Within each printed portion, at least one layer is applied to the substrate with inexact registration in relation to a second layer. A “control layer” comprising “edge sealing strips” is printed so that, within each printed portion, each edge of the at least two layers with inexact registration is located within the edges of an overlapping edge sealing strip. The edge sealing strips may provide a visual seal or mask at the edges of printed portions, for example to enable the each printed portion to have the desired color rendering within a one-way vision control panel. The invention can comprise the physical sealing of printed portions containing gaseous or liquid fluids or particles in suspension, such as fragrances, medication, environmentally reactive materials or security printing features.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Contra Vision Ltd.Inventor: G.
