Filed:

Oct 8, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/681435

Inventors:

Ray L. Hauser - Boulder CO 80301

International Classification:

A01G 1704

US Classification:

47 232, 47 296, 47 45

Abstract:

An easily and installed support for a flexible covering, such as a bird-excluding net or a thermal blanket, may be made from lightweight and readily available plastic pipe components. The support is configured as a wheel and a vertical center pole that can hold the wheel in a horizontal position above the tree, similar to an umbrella. Netting or other flexible covering is attached to the wheel before it is lifted on the center pole and carried to a tree that is to be covered.

Appl. No.:

10/862297

Inventors:

Ray L. Hauser - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

B65D 91/00

US Classification:

232 38, 232 39

Abstract:

A bat trap provides for capturing a bat, club, or other tool or weapon used by a vandal to damage a mailbox adjacent a roadway. The trap may comprise an elongated support member; a plurality of spikes protruding through the support member from a back side of the support member so that a respective point of each spike extends outwardly from the support member by some selected minimum distance; a cover extending far enough from the support so as to cover all of the spikes; and an adhesive or mechanical fastener for attaching the support member to the mailbox so that the back side of the support abuts a traffic-facing side of the mailbox.

Appl. No.:

10/867367

Inventors:

Ray L Hauser - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

B65D 91/00

US Classification:

232 38, 232 17

Abstract:

Mailbox vandalism is deterred by depositing a noxious material on a tool or weapon used by a vandal to smash a mailbox. The noxious material may be provided in a capsule fastened to a traffic-facing side of the mailbox so that a vandal's blow directed at the mailbox succeeds in fracturing the capsule and coating the vandal's tool or weapon with a noxious material. The capsule or capsules may contain any of a variety of malodorants, colorants, irritants and adhesives. The overall container may be configured as a composite capsule in which the noxious material is held within an inner glass capsule protected from environmental and accidental damage by a surrounding, relatively easily broken, outer capsule directly fastened to the protected mailbox.

Appl. No.:

12/754589

Inventors:

Ray L. Hauser - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

A63C 1/34

US Classification:

280 1118, 280 1112

Abstract:

A composite ice blade may have a metal ice edge bonded to a metal foil. The metal foil may be bonded to a plastic core to form a composite sandwich having a center plastic core and metal sides. The ice edge may be bonded to the foil by welding or brazing, then formed into shape to accept the plastic core. The plastic core may be injection molded directly into the formed metal structure, or bonded to the metal components in a secondary operation.

US Classification:

464 29, 417420, 4174237, 310104

Abstract:

An inner drive for a magnetic drive pump includes a magnet supported on a yoke. The inner drive is driven about an axis to pump a corrosive process fluid. The magnet and yoke are fully encapsulated during the molding process to completely surround the magnet and yoke in a protective plastic shell. A sleeve is arranged radially outwardly of the magnet to provide further protection. Backing rings are arranged on either side of the magnet. A bonding material joins the plastic shell to the backing rings and sleeve to prevent a space from forming beneath the plastic shell that would become filled with the process fluid once it has permeated the plastic shell. A protective coating is arranged on at least a portion of the magnet to further insulate the magnet from the process fluid.

5690, 5482, 5490, 5495, 5502, 427394, 156297, 156290

Abstract:

Bedding products may utilize unique microporous films imparting bidirectional, micro particle and fluid penetration barrier properties, which may or may not contain active ingredient, while maintaining exceptional air permeability. A thin, microporous film with a unique sponge like cellular structure may prevent the migration of dust mites, dust mite feces, other micro particle allergens, pathogens and biological organisms from the interstices of the product to the sleep surface of the product, adversely affecting user health and comfort. Active ingredients such as anti microbial agents, metal oxides, and other materials may be used within the high capacity microporous structure of the film, and may provide customizable functionalities while maintaining barrier performance and superior air permeability. The micro structured film can be applied as a coating or a laminate to mattress or pillow ticking, a foam mattress construction, a comforter, duvet, mattress pad and/or other components of bedding products.

International Classification:

E04B 1/66
E04C 2/20

US Classification:

523091, 52408, 527414

Abstract:

A barrier membrane for use in building construction may be manufactured by forming a polymeric film coating on release paper or film; or on nonwoven textiles, paper, fiberglass, or other structural substrate to improve tensile strength. Alternatively, the film may be fully or partially formed and then bonded to a structural substrate. A porous film coating or laminate may be formed using PVDF, PVC, and various polyolefins. A typical membrane may be less than 100 mil thick and greater than 50% porous, and may have a hydrostatic head while retaining gas permeability. Some embodiments may contain active ingredients to combat bacterial or fungal growth, repel insects, or absorb environmental pathogens. The active ingredients may be applied after the porous film is manufactured or may be incorporated during the film manufacturing process.

US Classification:

428198, 4283155, 4283055, 427246

Abstract:

A microporous fire resistant film coated or laminated composite textile may be uses as an upholstery fabric or mattress ticking which provides an air permeable microporous barrier to liquid, allergen or pathogen particle, or biological organism penetration. The microporous cellular structure of the coated or laminated film backing may provide a high capacity reservoir which may contain additives such as antimicrobial, UV absorbing, scent dispersing, or organism repelling particles or other functional agents, while maintaining superior barrier and air permeability properties in the finished product constructions. Applications may include any seating and bedding products where a combination of two or more of the above properties is desired.
