Abstract:
A friction coating for the gripping surface of drumsticks, guitar picks, hockey sticks, and other handheld equipment. The friction coating is comprised of a friction coating material and a method of application. The friction coating material is a translucent liquid comprising a volatile solvent that evaporates and leaves an unobtrusive coating of self-adhesive polyurethane of high coefficient of friction. In one embodiment the friction coating material includes a silica grit suspended in the liquid friction coating. In one embodiment the friction coating material is supplied in different versions with different sizes of grit suspended in each. The different versions are provided with distinguishing colors to differentiate the different sizes of grit provided therein. The friction coating is painted or daubed onto the gripping surface of a drumstick and allowed to air dry. The friction coating material can be applied by the user or can be applied by the manufacturer.
Abstract:
A more controllable acoustic ceiling patch or textured material in the form of a sprayable composition includes a base, a filler, an adhesive binder, an anti-foaming agent, a suspension agent, and rubber particulates or polyethylene particulates forming an aggregate suitable for spraying in the presence of volatile organic compound (VOC) propellants without melting or deterioration. The more controllable acoustic ceiling patch is storable and dispensable from a pressurized dispenser having a delivery nozzle. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the textured material onto a prepared patch area, which may be on a drywall or support panel so as to match and blend with the surrounding acoustic ceiling surface area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.
Abstract:
A method of producing asphalt strip shingles includes continuously coating a substrate with asphalt to form an asphalt coated sheet, moving the asphalt coated sheet in a machine direction, depositing blend drops of blend drop granules onto the asphalt coated sheet from a blender, providing a signal indicative of the presence of the blend drops at a location downstream from the blender, sensing the color of the blend drops at the downstream location with a sensor, comparing the sensed color of the blend drops with a reference color, and providing a signal indicative of the comparison.
Abstract:
A composite on the surface of a substrate, and a method for producing the composite are disclosed. The composite includes a first coating, reflective beads, and a clear coating. The method for preparing the composite includes the stepwise application of coating compositions and reflective beads. The composite, which is wear-resistant and retroreflective, is useful as a traffic marking.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for partially plating on a base of synthetic resins or other materials including not only a single base but an assembly thereof comprising a number of chip bases for producing electronic and electric parts such as printed circuit board, lead frame insert molded circuit parts, etc. A method for partially plating on an assembly of bases 21 by the use of a plating catalyst comprising a coating process to coat a surface to be plated or not to be plated by means of a coating material selected from a water soluble polymer or hydrolyzable polymer either before or after a catalyst applying process to soak a container containing bases 21 in a plating catalyst bath.
