A dust control mat (30) having a pile surface and a backing layer disposed beneath the pile surface. The pile surface includes segmented portions (12) of pile-forming material salvaged from previously used mat structures and adhered to the backing layer in a predefined arrangement to define a contract surface of recycled material for use in removing dirt from the shoes of a user.

Novel ultraviolet absorbing compounds that are liquid in nature, are extremely low in color (and thus permit use without the concomitant necessity of adding large amounts of other coloring agents to combat such discoloring), and are highly effective in providing protection in wavelength ranges for which previous attempts at low-color ultraviolet absorbers have failed are provided herein. Such compounds provide such excellent, inexpensive, and beneficial protection from ultraviolet exposure within various media, including, but not limited to, clear thermoplastics. The particular compounds are generally polymeric in nature including various chain lengths of polyoxyalkylenes thereon and are liquid in nature to facilitate handling and introduction within the target media. In addition, such ultraviolet absorbers also exhibit extremely low migratory properties thereby providing long-term protective benefits to the target media as well. This invention also concerns the end products, specific broadly defined types of compounds providing such beneficial characteristics, methods of making such low-color compounds, and methods of producing such clear, UV protected end products.

A material having a unique, multi-colored appearance is described. More specifically, a material having a multi-colored appearance and a three-dimensional surface is described, along with a method of making such a material. The process involves providing a pile material having an upper portion of the pile yarns of a first color and a lower portion of the pile yarns of a second color that is visually distinct from the first color, then treating the material so as to displace at least some of the pile yarns to a different position with respect to the base web portion of the fabric from other of the pile yarns. In this way, the lower portions of at least some of the pile yarns are exposed, to provide a unique visual appearance as a result of the color differential, and a unique three dimensional appearance as a result of the difference between the position of the treated and untreated portions.

The present invention relates to air bag tethers and to a pattern-wise arrangement of such tethers in relation to air bag panels on a fabric blank, thus resulting in increased fabric utilization per tether and an overall cost savings per finished air bag. The air bag tether system of the present invention is comprised of two congruent tether panels that are joined to one another and to a respective air bag panel. In a preferred embodiment, the tether panel that is attached to the face panel of the air bag is cut in alignment with the warp and the fill of the fabric blank, while the rear tether panel that is attached to the rear panel of the air bag is cut on the bias with respect to the warp and the fill of the fabric blank. The two tether panels are then connected to one another to form a functional tether system. This two-piece construction, with one bias-cut piece, decreases the amount of fabric that is used in the manufacture of the air bag and tethers, while providing sufficient elongation for the tether system to be functional.

Surface covering display elements, systems and/or methods are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a multi-patterned rug display sample, element or unit has at least two different geometric designs and/or coloration schemes across a common surface for simultaneous comparative evaluation by a potential purchaser. The rug display sample (320) may be patterned (320) to include two or more geometric or solid patterns corresponding to patterns available on floor covering products independent of the display sample. Also, the display unit may include a feature rug, color runner, color rug, and/or hang tag.
摘要:
A process by which dithering techniques and in situ blending techniques may be used to reproduce a desired multi-colored dyed pattern on a substrate using precisely delivered quantities of liquid colorants that are available in only a relatively few colors. Specific preferred process colors, as well as procedures for expanding the range of reproduced colors using such process colors, are presented Optionally, specific actuation instructions for a specific dye injection machine capable of patterning a moving textile substrate may be generated.
摘要:
An airbag (2, 4) having low gas permeability characteristics. The airbag (2, 4) is formed from two separate layers of material, an inner layer (6) having low air permeability and an outer strength layer (8) enclosing the inner layer (6), where the layers (6, 8) are only attached together along seam lines (12). The inner layer (6) is made from a film material, preferably urethane. The outer layer (8) is formed from a fabric.

A composite facer material for use with cementitious wallboards, where the composite facer is embedded in a top and bottom face thereof. The composite facer material, in a most preferred embodiment, comprises two layers. The first layer is preferably a carded polyester nonwoven mat, which is bonded to a second layer comprising preferably a tri-directional laid scrim fabric reinforcement layer made of continuous glass fibers. The two layers are preferably bonded together using an acrylic adhesive, which offers superior adhesion between the layers as well as superior adhesion between the composite facing material and the cementitious core.
摘要:
An elastomeric fabric (100) woven in a leno weave, with the warp yarns (110) being elatomeric yarns. The elastomeric warp yarns (110) have a minor axis (102) disposed in the direction perpendicular to the fabric surface. The fabric is calendered to reduce the thickness of the elastomeric yarns along the minor axis (102) at the cross-over (105) of the warp yarns in the leno weave.
摘要:
Compositions comprising specific disodium hexahydrophthalate(HHPA) salts in combination with acid scavengers (such as organic calcium salts or dihydrotalcite complexes) that provide highly desirable and effective nucleating properties within polymer articles (such as polyolefins) are provided. Surprisingly, such a combination of HHPA salt and acid scavenger provides high crystallization temperatures, low haze, and/or high flexural modulus to the finished polymer product. Other sodium salt polymer nucleators (such as sodium benzoate) deleteriously react with calcium organic salt acid scavengers such that characteristically high crystallization temperatures are drastically reduced when in combination with calcium salts (such as calcium stearate). Also, sodium benzoate when combined with dihydrotalcite acid scavengers produce extremely high haze levels in the finished target polymer article, whereas the inventive compositions surprisingly reduce haze. The finished polymer articles comprising such an inventive composition are also contemplated within this invention.
