| 20090047864 | VALVED LONG FLOATING TOY BALLOON - Toy balloons that have an internal surface coated with a barrier coating include a one-way valve. The one-way valve incorporates an inlet stem that is surrounded by an expandable elastomeric collar. The coating solution is an aqueous solution having a low concentration of polyvinyl alcohol and a carbohydrate. A minimal amount of coating composition is used. This allows preassembly and precoating of toy balloons with one-way valves that can be stored for up to one year without drying out. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090057500 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO DRY PAINT BRUSHES - In order to prolong the useful life of an artist's paint brush, the paint brush is supported from a clamp while drying. The clamp has first and second coplanar surfaces which clamp against the tip of the brush supporting it as it is drying. The clamping surfaces are covered with a compressible material such as an open cell foam rubber. The compressible material prevents the bristles of the brushes from spreading out excessively and the open celled foam further facilitates wicking of liquid from the brush as it dries. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20080217914 | Method of assembling sucker rods and end fittings - An improved design and a method of assembly of end fittings to sucker rods which may be of conventional length or continuous sucker rods is described herein. The end fittings and rods are assembled so as to form wedges which enhance the connectability of the end fitting to the rod, and further, the wedge or wedges approach the rod asymptotically so as to avoid any abrupt discontinuities in the wedge or wedges thus substantially eliminating stress concentration areas and potential failure areas in the rod. The assembly method provides for integrity in the rod to end fitting assembly to promote longer connection life and fewer shop rejections and field failures. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20110017731 | RECYCLABLE CONTAINER - A container is provided comprising a polygonal shaped external wall with integral floor tabs folded upon one another to form a floor of the container. Concentrically disposed within, and immediately adjacent an interior wall of the polygonal shaped external wall is a complementary shaped internal wall. Disposed within the confines of the internal wall and resting upon the floor of the container is a tray assembly for retaining a package containing the contents to be transported within the container. Provision may be made through a portion of the tray and the complementary walls for emptying of the package within the container. Reinforcement of the walls of the container is obtained by a one or more reinforcement provisions made along the upper edges of the container walls and the container may be closed and covered by a removable cap assembly. Once the container is used, the materials forming the container may easily be recycled or reduced in size for disposal. | 01-27-2011 |
