Abstract: A system and a method for coating two sides of a laminate material is disclosed
in which one side of the laminate material is coated with one substance and the second
side is coated with a similar or different substance. Reverse roll coating may be used to
coat the two surfaces of the sheet of laminate material. The method described is
particularly suited for applying a substance providing characteristics desirable in the
manufacturing process to one side of the laminate material and applying a substance
providing characteristics desirable in the end product to the other side of the laminate
material. For example, a release agent may be applied on one side of a kraft paper
sheet and phenolic resin on the other side, thereby eliminating the need to use release
sheets in the manufacture of laminates. The kraft sheet thus coated may be used in a
decorative layer or a backing layer to form a laminate panel that may be applied on an
exterior wall, an interior wall, siding, a roof top, a facade boarding, a counter top, a
table top or a work top.

Title: Squeeze clamp
Inventor: SCHNELL WILLIAM J
IPC: A61M39/28
Filed: 2000-01-24
Abstract: A squeeze clamp for flexible tubing comprises a strip of plastic which is bent back on itself so that the ends are adjacent to each other. The strip defines a pair of spaced apertures to permit a flexible tube to extend through and be carried by the clamp. First and second latches at the respective ends can hold the clamp in a closed position, or it can spring outwardly into an open position. The apertures extend laterally through a first side edge of the strip, with the apertures thus being each located next to a narrow strip portion connected to wider strip portions on either side of the narrow strip portion. At least one of the narrow strip portions extends laterally outwardly beyond the side edge of the rest of the plastic strip for strengthening of the narrow strip portion, to reduce problems of involuntary twisting or torsion as the clamp is closed.
