Abstract:
A safety barrier positionable across a path for deterring rolling objects from passing beyond the barrier includes an elongate hollow member having open lateral ends. The elongate hollow member includes a base for positioning on a surface and an upwardly extending wall having an arcuate concave surface for hindering rolling objects from passing beyond the barrier.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a nonwoven elastomeric material of a thermoplastic, elastomeric composition comprising a block copolymer which comprises an elastomeric midblock portion and a thermoplastic endblock portion, a first tackifying resin substantially compatible with and substantially associated with the midblock portion, and a second tackifying resin substantially compatible with and substantially associated with the endblock portion. The nonwoven elastomeric material exhibits both desired elastic and adhesive properties and is useful in imparting elastic properties to flexible, non-elastic substrates. Also disclosed is a disposable absorbent product, including the nonwoven elastomeric material and intended for the absorption of body fluids.
Abstract:
A bag-supporting frame apparatus is removably mountable on an edge portion of a horizontal or vertical substrate. The apparatus includes a gripping portion for contacting the substrate and holding the apparatus in place on the substrate. The apparatus also includes a bag-supporting portion configured to support an open end portion of a flexible plastic bag thereon, the bag-supporting portion including an outer loop portion and a downwardly-extending short portion attached to the outer loop portion at each end thereof. A projecting catch is defined, at each end of the outer loop portion, at the juncture of the downwardly-extending short portion and the outer loop portion. The outer loop portion is sized and configured to support a plastic bag of a predetermined size thereon. The apparatus also includes a connecting portion interconnecting the bag-supporting portion and the gripping portion. Methods of using the apparatus are also described.
