Title: Abrasive wiping articles and a process for preparing such articles
Inventor: FRANXMAN JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: B24D3/28
Filed: 1993-01-27
Abstract: Disclosed are abrasive wiping articles, e.g., nonwoven, preferably paper towels, which comprise an absorbant nonwoven substrate having printed thereon a cured scrubbing bead mixture which comprises a) certain carboxylated, ionically-charged polymeric abrasive particles, b) a carboxyl group-containing polymeric adhesive material, and c) an amino-epichlorohydrin, e.g., Kymene ~ cross-linking agent. The polymeric abrasive particles range in size from about 20 to 400 microns and have a knoop hardness of from about 4 to 25.  The polymeric adhesive material, upon curing, has a Knoop hardness of from about 0.5 to 17.  Preferred wiping articles of the foregoing type have a pattern of the scrubbing bead mixture printed onto from about 20 % to 70 % of the surface area of a paper substrate with the abrasive particles affixed to the substrate in such a manner that their exposed portion extends for a distance of from about 40 to 300 microns above the surface of the paper substrate.  Wiping articles of this type are especially useful for removing soil and stain from hard surfaces with the polymeric scrubbing particles thereon being especially resistant to removal during use.  Also disclosed is a process for preparing abrasive wiping articles as hereinbefore described.  Such a process involves printing a pattern of the scrubbing bead mixture onto the paper substrate, drying the printed substrate and then curing the solid components of the scrubbing bead mixture to affix the abrasive scrubbing particles to the substrate.  Curing of the particular scrubbing bead mixture employed can take place at room temperature.

Patent CA-2149291-A1 (CA)
Title: Portable Lighting Fixture
Inventor: SUMER SULEYMAN O
IPC: F21L14/00
Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: This  portable  lighting  fixture  comprises  a  lamp housing containing a lamp and a reflector that projects light from the lamp through an opening in the front face of the housing.  A protective grill on the housing registers with the front-face opening in a location spaced from the opening.   Normally located beneath the housing is a base that normally supports the housing.  The grill has an outer periphery  that  appears  rounded  when  viewed  from  a horizontal reference plane located above the housing when the housing is in its normal location atop the base.  Tip-over of the fixture onto a horizontal surface that causes the central peripheral portion of the grill to fall against the horizontal surface results in the fixture rolling over in a  lateral direction on the rounded grill  following initial contact between the central peripheral portion of the grill and the horizontal surface.   This roll-over action causes heat that is emitted through the front-face opening of the fixture to be directed via a path that is oriented to produce reduced heating of the support surface under these conditions.

Patent CA-2157221-A1 (CA)
Title: Spiral furnace support tube strap
Inventor: PHELPS CALVIN EUGENE SR
IPC: F22B37/64
Filed: 1995-08-30
Abstract: A method of  supporting the  spiral  boiler tubing that surrounds a portion of the furnace or combustion area of a steam generator.  This method of support eliminates the need to weld plate to the outside of the boiler tubing thereby increasing the mass of the boiler tubing which will result in the creation of temperature  differentials  within  the  spiral  tubing.    In accordance with this invention, a plurality of support members are inserted within and alongside the regular spiral tubing forming a part of the furnace enclosure.  These support members are periodically removed from within the plane of this furnace enclosure and re-positioned to another (usually more elevated) position within the furnace enclosure.   As the support members near the top of the spiral tubing (which is also the transition from the spiral tubing to more vertically aligned tubing), these support members are secured to this vertical tubing thereby transferring the loading of the spiral tubing to the vertical tubing.  In other embodiments, it may be desirable to transfer the loading to other support members such as boiler top support steel.

Patent CA-2159454-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUPUIS MARIO
IPC: C08G12/40
Filed: 1994-05-06
Abstract: A process of producing an aqueous solution of a sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde resin. The process comprises condensing melamine and formaldehyde or a precursor of formaldehyde (e.g. paraformaldehyde) in an aqueous mixture having a pH in the range of 8-10 to form a reaction mixture containing a condensation product of melamine and formaldehyde. The condensation product is then reacted in an aqueous mixture having a pH of 8-10, preferably 8-9, with a sulfonating agent to produce a mixture containing a sulfonated condensation product. Finally, polymerizing the said sulfonated condensation product in an aqueous mixture having a pH of 5-7 to form a resin solution. In the process, at least one of the sulfonation step and the polymerizing step is carried out under superatmospheric pressure (generally 5 to 70 p.s.i.) and at an elevated temperature of, in the case of the sulfonating step, 100 DEG -130 DEG  C. for a time of 1 to 5 hours or of, in the case of the polymerizing step, 105-150 DEG  C. for a time of 15 minutes to three hours. Modifications of the basic process involve carrying out the sulfonation of the formaldehyde before the condensation of the melamine and formaldehyde or reacting all of the melamine, formaldehyde or precursor and the sulfonating agent all together under superatmospheric pressure. The resulting aqueous solution, or the dried resin extracted therefrom, has low salt content and is suitable as a superplasticizer for concrete mixes.
