20090246383 | Coating apparatus using items that roll - “Marble It” is a craft box that is made of arylonitrile-butadien-styrene with a sliding clear cover made of polycarbonate or (PC). This box will enable a child to manipulate items that roll onto paper covered with paint. | 10-01-2009 |
20100047457 | Inkjet Printing Using Solvent-Based Ink Compositions - There is provided a transparent, single-phase, radiation-curable ink composition for inkjet printing white, opaque features on porous and non-porous substrates, which are excellent in colour reproducibility, hiding power, and adhesiveness to the substrate, for particular application as base layer coatings. | 02-25-2010 |
20110117277 | Wall Texturing Tool - A tool and method for applying a texture material to a surface is provided. The tool comprises a body having a flat surface for mating to a smooth surface, such as a repaired portion of drywall. The body is formed of a rigid plastic material, that is optionally transparent, to enable to tool to be reused indefinitely, and has a multiplicity of spatially positioned openings disposed therethrough. Each of the openings has a predetermined configuration and position on the tool, for providing a pattern substantially matching the appearance of existing textured surface adjacent to the smooth surface. The invented method includes first affixing the tool to the smooth area of the surface, then applying a texture material to the smooth surface through the openings in the tool for forming a newly textured area that substantially matches the appearance of the existing adjacent textured surface. | 05-19-2011 |
20110244132 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PATTERN ON AN ENDLESS STRIP - The invention relates to a method for producing a topographical pattern from polymer material on an endless strip with a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction extending perpendicularly thereto, in which method a cylindrical rotary screen is used to apply the polymer material by the screen printing process to a circumferential side of the endless strip to be printed, wherein, when producing the pattern, the rotary screen, rotating repeatedly about its longitudinal axis, rolls on the circumferential side of the endless strip, whereby the pattern is applied to the circumferential side in at least one path running at least once uninterruptedly around the circumferential side in such a way that the beginning and the end of each revolution of the path are arranged along a common straight line, wherein, when rolling, the rotary screen performs N revolutions about its longitudinal axis during each revolution of the path on the circumferential side of the endless strip and N is a positive integer. | 10-06-2011 |
20120094024 | Optimum Surface Texture Geometry - A surface geometry for an implantable medical electrode that optimizes the electrical characteristics of the electrode and enables an efficient transfer of signals from the electrode to surrounding bodily tissue. The coating is optimized to increase the double layer capacitance and to lower the after-potential polarization for signals having a pulse width in a pre-determined range by keeping the amplitude of the surface geometry with a desired range. | 04-19-2012 |
20150093509 | SUBSTRATE STAIN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF APPLICATION - Compositions and methods for changing the color of non-wood substrates. A one step method uses a solution of a water soluble pigment or dye and a metal salt. The non-toxic solution can be sprayed on a primed or unprimed substrate without wiping. The method can produce an even color on a smooth substrate, or a simulated woodgrain pattern or color on a textured substrate. The composition and method can be used on substrates as varied as fiberboard, fiberglass, steel, vinyl, plastics, metals, concrete, brick, stone, and stucco. The composition can include a resin which is emulsified when added and subsequently demulsifies. A two step method includes the additional step of applying a gall ink to the substrate. The compositions can be distributed as kits containing multiple packages of dry or concentrated ingredients, which make the final composition(s) when hydrated. Simply changing one of the packages can change the composition's application method, application effect, or intended substrate, thus enabling the creation of a system with simplified inventory and shipping requirements. | 04-02-2015 |
20150099067 | METHOD OF APPLYING WAX TO A FLOTATION DEVICE - A method of applying wax to the top surface of a surfboard. The method may include heating the wax until the wax is molten and in liquid form. Then the liquid wax may be applied to the surface. The liquid wax may then cool and harden on the top surface of the surfboard. In certain embodiments, designs, ripples and patterns may be formed on the liquid wax when the liquid wax is on the surfboard. | 04-09-2015 |
427281000 | Marbleized | 1 |
20150024135 | Marbleizing an Object - A method for coating an object with a design pattern is provided and includes placing a specified amount of water with no additives in a container to a depth exceeding at least one dimension of the object, adding a first acrylic paint to the water in an amount to provide a first layer of paint on the surface of the water, adding at least one additional acrylic paint to the water in an amount to provide at least one additional layer of paint on the surface of the water, mixing the combination of water and acrylic paints until the design pattern is present, dipping the object into the container so that the combination of water and acrylic paints covers the object beyond the at least one dimension of the object, and removing the object from the container so that the object is coated with the design pattern. | 01-22-2015 |
