Flooring for vehicle decks and manufacturing housing
10077079 · 2018-09-18 · ·

A flooring product has multiple planar single piece substrate components, each with opposing straight longitudinal and lateral edges. A first lateral edge of a second of the substrate components abuts a first lateral edge of a first of the substrate components to form a common seam. The first and second of the substrate components are adjacent relative to a sequential array of multiple substrate components running parallel to the pair of longitudinal edges. The product has a pair of laminate component affixed to each side of each of the substrate components continuously over the sequential array thereof. The laminate components strengthen the product in relation to bearing a load applied to the second surface thereof and each of the common seams. The flooring product may be cut to lengths for accommodating overall lengths of recreational vehicles, trailers or manufactured housing units and thus reduces manufacturing costs associated therewith.

Fasteners folded in two are arranged on one main surface of a first continuous body so that ends of the fasteners are arranged on the outside of the one main surface. A second continuous body is laid over another main surface of the first continuous body in a state where one end is bent so as to be laid over the other main surface, and the first continuous body and second continuous body are bonded together to form a composite continuous body to which the one end of the fasteners is fixed. The composite continuous body is cut to form a piece on which the pair of fasteners is arranged only in a first region. The piece is folded in two along an imaginary line and overlapped, and then the other end of the fasteners is bent and laid over and fixed to a second region.

Cold Cup Sleeve
20180249853 · 2018-09-06 ·

A sleeve for being positioned about the outside surface of a container, such as a beverage container or cup, for absorbing or collecting condensate disposed on the outside surface of the container to inhibit condensate from pooling at the base of the container, as well as to keep condensate from coming into contact with a user. In one form, the sleeve is configured to absorb the condensate with an absorbent material. In other forms, the sleeve has a non-absorbent inner surface that includes entrapment features for collecting, trapping, or dispersing condensate without absorbing the condensate. In some forms, the sleeve is provided with both absorbent and non-absorbent materials. The sleeve is formed with one or more layers of material, such as paper or polymer film.

Roofing composite scoring tool and methods of use

A method of installing a roofing membrane includes providing a membrane including a polymeric body having first and second opposed planar surfaces and a lap edge, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the first planar surface, and a release member removably affixed to the adhesive layer. Then, cutting the release liner while simultaneously scoring the adhesive layer along a line substantially parallel to the lap edge by use of a cutting and scoring tool and said step of cutting and scoring includes contacting the tool to the release liner. Finally, removing the release liner to expose the adhesive layer in the lap area; then applying a high-tensile member to the exposed adhesive layer in the lap area and forcibly removing the high-tensile member to thereby remove the adhesive layer within the lap area; and seaming the membrane composite to an adjacent membrane.
