20090221979 | TOPSHEET FOR AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE - A top sheet includes a sheet body having a flat liquid pervious base wall with first and second surfaces that are opposite to each other in a normal direction relative to the sheet body. The base wall has front and rear edges that are opposite to each other in a longitudinal direction. The sheet body further has a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the first surface of the base wall and that are distributed along the longitudinal direction as well as a widthwise direction which is transverse to the longitudinal direction. The protrusions are arranged in such a manner to form a plurality of open fluid channels thereamong. The fluid channels extend from the front edge to the rear edge of the base wall, and have dimensions in the normal and widthwise directions sufficient to provide capillary action. | 09-03-2009 |
20110005130 | PLANT GROWING DEVICE - A plant growing device includes an envelope and a plant growing medium. The envelope is made of a sheet material and has substantially planar first and second walls, a surrounding wall connected between the first and second walls, and a plurality of openings formed in the second wall and adapted to permit extension of plants. The plant growing medium is enclosed by the envelope, and includes a water-absorptive material selected from a polymeric foam, saw dust, charcoal, soil, sand, wood pulp, polymeric fibrous substances, and natural fiber materials. | 01-13-2011 |
20110052865 | STRUCTURED PERFORATED PLASTIC SHEET - A structured perforated plastic sheet includes a plastic sheet body having bottom ribs in a bottom layer, middle ribs in a middle layer, and top ribs in a top layer. The top ribs are interconnected to define a top hole. The middle ribs divide the top hole into multiple middle holes. The bottom ribs divide each middle hole into multiple bottom holes. Each of the top, middle and bottom ribs has a top wall and two side walls extending downwardly from two opposite sides of the top wall. The side walls of the top and middle walls are deflected in a plane of the top walls of the bottom ribs. | 03-03-2011 |
20130276996 | MESH SCREEN ASSEMBLY WITH AN IMAGE PATTERN - A mesh screen assembly with an image pattern includes: a mesh screen having opposite first and second surfaces and a plurality of screen-holes extending through the first and second surfaces, each of the screen-holes being defined by a hole-defining wall; and a plastic film bonded to the first surface of the mesh screen and having opposite first and second faces and an image pattern formed on the first face. The plastic film is perforated to form a plurality of apertures. Each of the apertures is defined by an aperture-defining wall. The aperture-defining wall of each of the apertures extends into a respective one of the screen-holes and wraps around and is bonded to at least a portion of the hole-defining wall of the respective one of the screen-holes. | 10-24-2013 |
20130280482 | PATTERNED FABRIC WITH AN IMAGE PATTERN - A patterned fabric with an image pattern includes: a fabric sheet having opposite first and second surfaces and a plurality of pores extending through the first and second surfaces, each of the pores being defined by a pore-defining wall; and a plastic film bonded to the first surface of the fabric sheet and having opposite first and second faces and an image pattern formed on the first face. The plastic film is perforated to form a plurality of through-holes extending through the first and second faces. Each of the through-holes is defined by a hole-defining wall. The hole-defining wall of each of the through-holes extends into a respective one of the pores and wraps around and is bonded to at least a portion of the pore-defining wall of the respective one of the pores. | 10-24-2013 |
20130285294 | METHOD OF MAKING A DOUBLE-SIDED EMBOSSED NON-WOVEN FABRIC - A method of making a double-sided embossed non-woven fabric includes: forming a stack of semi-molten fibers on a screen assembly, the screen assembly including a first layer structure that has a plurality of suction holes arranged into a first pattern, and a second layer structure that is disposed on the first layer structure and that has a plurality of elements arranged into a second pattern; and embossing the stack of the semi-molten fibers on the screen assembly by suctioning the stack of the semi-molten fibers using a suctioning device such that the stack of the semi-molten fibers is drawn into the holes to wrap the elements. | 10-31-2013 |
20130340334 | PLANT GROWING DEVICE - A plant growing device includes an envelope made of a vacuum formed film and having substantially planar first and second walls interconnected by a surrounding wall. A plant growing medium is enclosed by the envelope. The first and second walls each has a plurality of micro-holes, and a network of interconnected ribs that are indented from an outer surface of the first or second wall to define a plurality of flow guide channels. The second wall further has openings to receive plants. The first wall further has drain holes. The envelope has high air permeability due to the micro-holes while still possessing a relative high strength due to the network of ribs. | 12-26-2013 |
20140193536 | FILM PATTERNING SYSTEM - A film patterning system includes: a first rotary member having a first shaft that defines a first axis, and a cylindrical first screen mold that is rotatable about the first axis; a second rotary member spaced apart from the first rotary member, having a second shaft that defines a second axis parallel to the first axis, and rotatable about the second axis; a second screen mold trained on the first and second rotary members and circumferentially stacked on the first screen mold; and a suctioning box mounted in the first rotary member for suctioning the film that is guided onto the second screen mold. | 07-10-2014 |
20140346183 | PORTABLE CUP HOLDER - A portable cup holder includes: a cup-holding unit including a first cup-embracing wall that is formed with two first wall holes and a second cup-embracing wall that is formed with two second wall holes aligned with the first wall holes; and a handle string unit including first and second string parts, each of which extends from outside of the cup-holding space through one of the first wall holes into the cup-holding space and then through one of the second wall holes to the outside of the cup-holding space and then extends therefrom through the other of the second wall holes into the cup-holding space and then through the other of the first wall holes to the outside of the cup-holding space. Each of the first and second string parts is shiftable along a transverse direction. | 11-27-2014 |
20140363625 | BREATHABLE AND WATERPROOF COMPOSITE FABRIC - A breathable and waterproof composite fabric includes: a fabric sheet having opposite first and second surfaces and defining a plurality of micropores extending through the first and second surfaces; and a waterproof plastic film of a non-porous material that is bonded to the first surface of the fabric sheet, that conforms to the first surface of the fabric sheet, and that is perforated to form a plurality of hollow protrusions extending into the micropores, respectively. The plastic film has inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface is in contact with the first surface of the fabric sheet. Each of the hollow protrusions defines a channel that, extends through the inner and outer surfaces for imparting breathability to the plastic film. | 12-11-2014 |
