Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100122785CREPING ADHESIVES WITH IMPROVED FILM PROPERTIES - The invention provides a composition of matter used to produce very soft high grades of tissue paper. The composition of matter comprises a PAE resin acidified with a multifunctional acid. The multifunctional acid includes but is not limited to carboxyl and sulfonyl. The acid has a functional group selected from carboxyl and sulfonyl and a functional group selected from carboxyl, sulfonyl, hydroxyl, lactone, phenol, amine and heterocycle. The PAE resin facilitates the use of an adhesive in a Yankee Dryer apparatus that is durable when the adhesive is wet but remains soft when the adhesive becomes dry. These properties allow the adhesive to be strong and remain engaged to the dryer apparatus when wet but be easily removed by the creping blade when dry.05-20-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090045012Climbing foot and/or hand support - A novel climbing device for use in combination with a climbing spike, the climbing spike includes an anchor portion capable of being driven into a wooden object and a horizontal portion capable of being used as a step by a climber. The climbing device includes a body, a tread surface formed on a top portion of the body, a receiver fixed to the body and operative to receive the horizontal portion of the climbing spike, and a stabilizer fixed to the body and operative to limit relative movement between the body and the horizontal portion of the climbing spike. In a particular embodiment, the climbing device includes the climbing spike. In a more particular embodiment, the climbing device can be in either one of a first position or a second position. In the first position, the rotation of the body about the horizontal portion of the climbing spike is prevented. In the second position, the body is rotatable about the horizontal portion of the climbing spike. Further, the second position enables a user to anchor the climbing spike into a tree by gripping the body and rotating the climbing spike about the anchor portion.02-19-2009
