International Classification:

E04B 100

US Classification:

527413, 43121, 424411, 424405

Abstract:

The intrusion of insects into a home or similar building is controlled by utilizing insect controlling plastic materials in the construction of the building. The insect controlling plastic building materials are manufactured by first blending one or more plastic resins with one or more insect controlling chemical agents to form a blended plastic resin/insect controlling chemical agent material. The blended plastic resin/insect controlling chemical agent material is then utilized to manufacture plastic films, sheets, non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, insulating foams, flooring materials, wall covering materials, and the like utilizing conventional manufacturing techniques.

US Classification:

156148, 156259, 36 55, 424404

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a sock having anti-microbial properties including the steps of providing a quantity of a thermoplastic resin including an anti-microbial agent admixture having a predetermined microbial inhibition characteristic; blending the thermoplastic resin with a polyethylene resin to form an anti-microbial feedstock; forming the anti-microbial feedstock into relatively long, narrow, thin lengths of anti-microbial members; and knitting the anti-microbial members into an anti-microbial sock having predetermined microbial inhibition characteristics.

Abstract:

An anti-static film comprises one or more polymeric film layers having a layer of conductive, low capacitance material secured thereto. The polymeric film layer(s) may have pin holes formed therethrough. The conductive, low capacitance layer comprises one or more strands of conductive, low capacitance fiber arranged in a predetermined pattern. The polymeric film layer(s) are bonded one to the conductive, low capacitance material using a polymeric layer formed from the same material as the film layers. Alternatively, the layer of conductive, low capacitance material may be omitted, with the adhesive layer being extruded onto the polymeric layer having pin holes formed therethrough. Similarly, an anti-static fabric comprises one or more layers of woven polymeric material having a layer of conductive, low capacitance material secured thereto. Alternatively, the fabric may have or polymeric layer extruded thereon in which pinholes are formed.

Abstract:

A flexible, collapsible receptacle (hereinafter bag) for handling flowable materials which is fabricated from polymeric fabric and which provides (1) improved static control; (2) improved corrosion inhibition; and/or (3) improved microbial inhibition characteristics. The bag is manufactured by providing a quantity of thermoplastic resin having a predetermined conductivity (anti-static resin); forming the anti-static resin into relatively long, narrow, thin lengths of anti-static material (anti-static tapes); weaving the anti-static tapes into an anti-static fabric having a predetermined, controlled electrical resistivity; cutting the anti-static fabric into a plurality of pieces; and joining the pieces of anti-static fabric together thereby constructing the anti-static bag. Similar methods are disclosed for manufacturing bags having improved corrosion inhibition and/or improved microbial inhibition characteristics.
