052416000 | Lapped or bridger strip juncture-type surfacing | 9 |
20120240502 | FLOATING, GROUTABLE VINYL FLOOR TILE - A vinyl-based floor tile is disclosed for constructing a floating and groutable floor covering. The vinyl-based floor tile has a decorative upper surface and a lower surface for support the floor tile. On one edge of the floor tile is a male coupling member having a vertical insert and an opposing edge has a female coupling member that has two or more grooves for accepting the vertical insert of a male coupling member of an adjacent floor tile. The grooves determine the width of a grouting channel that is formed between the edges of the adjacent tiles and a grout-accepting surface on the top surface of either the male or female coupling member. The decorative upper surface of the tile can have a removable protective layer that protects the vinyl tile during the installation and grouting process. | 09-27-2012 |

20090094922 | LOW PROFILE REINFORCING TAPE - A reinforcing tape for imbedding in a joint compound, has reinforcing yarns defining openings for passage of the joint compound, wherein; the openings are bounded by the yarns; the yarns are provided with one or more coatings adding tensile strength and resistance to pull out of the yarns from the joint compound. | 04-16-2009 |
20090178357 | WALLBOARD JOINT SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a drywall tape or joint tape comprising a non-woven web of fibers having a coating of a filled, film-forming polymer on one side and being non-coated on an opposite side for covering seams or for repairs generally in connection with fiber mat-faced gypsum wallboard, and more particularly pertains to a method for finishing joint seams and making other repairs in connection with a coated fiber mat-faced gypsum wallboard. | 07-16-2009 |
20090205279 | DRYWALL TRIMMING ELEMENT WITH COMPOUND LOCKING FEATURE - A drywall trimming element for bridging two sections of drywall is an extruded element having first and second opposing flanges each having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The element is secured to the drywall by joint compound. The interior surfaces are adapted to be positioned on or adjacent to a respective one of the drywall surfaces. The interior and exterior surfaces each define respective surface planes. One or both of the interior and exterior surfaces have a plurality of upstanding longitudinally oriented ribs extending outwardly from the surface. The ribs extend away from their respective surfaces and define a void space between the surface adjacent to the ribs and an end of the ribs, such that a line extending outwardly from and normal to the surface of the flange adjacent to the ribs traverses through the void space and then subsequently contacts the ribs. The void space serves to provide a joint compound locking feature for the trimming element. | 08-20-2009 |

20150007519 | JOINT COMPOUND, WALL ASSEMBLY, AND METHODS AND PRODUCTS RELATED THERETO - A kit for assembling walls and ceilings is provided. The kit comprises at least two gypsum boards, each with at least one tapered edge, and a self-drying joint compound comprising a polymeric binder and hollow spheres. Methods for wall and ceiling installation are provided as well. | 01-08-2015 |
20150089893 | DRYWALL JOINT TAPE AND METHOD - A joint tape for drywall includes a substrate layer having an elongate shape in a lengthwise direction and being flexible in the lengthwise direction and in a transverse direction. The tape further includes a covering layer disposed in bonding relation on the substrate layer. The covering layer is rigid in the transverse direction and configured to withstand compressive forces applied generally in the transverse direction and shear stresses applied generally along the transverse direction. | 04-02-2015 |
20150096252 | WALLBOARD JOINT TAPE HAVING DIRECTIONAL INDICATORS - A wallboard joint tape designed to cover a seam joint defined by joining adjacent sheets of wallboard includes an elongate length of tape being supplied as a rolled strip having a first side edge and a second side edge wrapped around a center member having a central opening. The strip has an upper side and an opposite lower side. A lengthwise crease is provided along a centered longitudinal line of the lower side. A plurality of indicators is provided for marking at least one side edge of the tape for enhancing a proper orientation of the tape. The proper orientation of the tape is determined based on a location of the indicators upon the tape. | 04-09-2015 |
