Appl. No.:

09/531401

Inventors:

Elbert Davis - Laguna Beach CA 92651

International Classification:

A63B 4500

US Classification:

156230, 156211, 156235, 156237, 156238, 156240, 156256, 156293, 156278, 40327, 473 52, 473152, 473351

Abstract:

The method of transferring a sublimable dyestuff art image onto the curved outer surface of a billiard ball. The spherically shaped polyester billiard ball is initially molded with at least one recess having a first predetermined configuration formed in its curved outer surface. The first predetermined configuration would be either that of a heart or a spade such as found in a deck of cards and. the billiard ball would be made of material having a color that is not white. A plug made of styrene polyester resin heat cured material is then inserted into the recess. A plug would have the same first predetermined configuration. The surface of the plug must be receptive to sublimable dyestuff. The plug is then heat cured in the recess thereby providing a billiard with a substantially spherical outer surface. In the meantime a first lithographic art image has been formed on an auxiliary carrier web and the lithographic art image is made of sublimable dyestuff. The art image also has an outer edge having substantially the shape of the first predetermined first configuration.

International Classification:

B05D 500

US Classification:

427256

Abstract:

The gripping characteristics of the contact surface of a handle, grip or glove are improved by applying an extremely soft, elastomeric coating having a hardness of 20 to 40 Shore A, a tensile strength of 700 to 1700 psi, an elongation of 400 to 1400 percent and a tear resistance of 100 to 400 PLI, such as an oil-modified, styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene block copolymers. The oil-modified, styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene block copolymer is dissolved by high temperature, high shear mixing in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, such as ethyl benzene, in the range of 10% to 45% solids. The coating solution can also contain a pigment. The thus formed coating solution is then applied to the contact surface and dried, so as to form the polymer coating.

Appl. No.:

7/291721

Inventors:

Elbert Davis - Laguna Beach CA

International Classification:

B08B 700

US Classification:

134 4

Abstract:

Paint stripping compositions and a method of removing paint and the like from a substrate is disclosed. More particularly, a stripping composition comprised of a polymeric resin, a water insoluble organic plasticizer, and a water miscible organic solvent, is provided for use in penetrating, softening, loosening and lifting the paint from a painted substrate while laminating with the paint. The lamination process is expedited by inclusion of steam heat and removal of the resultant laminate is accomplished by peeling, or more preferred, by blasting with pressurized steam or water.

International Classification:

B32B 300

US Classification:

428196

Abstract:

The gripping characteristics of the contact surface of a handle, grip or glove can be improved by applying an extremely soft, and/or tacky, elastomeric coating having a hardness of 10 to 40 Shore A, a tensile strength of 400 to 1700 psi, an elongation of 200 to 1400 percent and a tear resistance of 50 to 400 PLI, such as a cross linkable acrylic polymer. The coating solution can also contain a pigment. The thus formed coating solution is then applied to the contact surface and dried, so as to form the polymer coating.
