  • High density foam burial vault
    Patent number: 5261199
    Abstract: A high density closed-cell foam burial vault is disclosed. The vault consists of top and bottom halves which are formed of a closed-cell foam having a density between 8-30 pounds per cubic feet. The foam is sufficiently rigid to protect a casket within the burial vault, and is also resistant to leakage of water into the vault. The foam results in a lightweight, easy to manufacture burial vault. The top and bottom halves nest within each other, such that a large number of foam burial vaults may be stored in a relatively small space.

  • Method of constructing means for directing or holding water
    Patent number: 4678376
    Abstract: An economical method of constructing a means suitable for directing, transporting, or holding water based upon the use of an aqueous liquid silicone elastomeric emulsion to form a membrane on a depression surface which is suitable to direct, transport or hold water. The emulsion, which cures under atmospheric conditions, is sprayed on the depression surface, then dried. The construction is useful as a water harvesting structure with a long, useful life. Such structures are particularly useful in providing water for animals in arid regions.
