Protecting coverings are provided for glass windows and the like. The protective coverings comprise a fiber reinforced polymeric fabric flexible enough to be rolled upon itself.

These compositions encompass products made of flexible plasticized PVC, usually formulated as a dispersion of high molecular weight PVC resins in a special blend of plasticizers. Both PVC resins and plasticizers are chosen from a vast selection of each to best conform to the needs of the end use. Huge macro molecules of highly ordered PVC pack and interlock to form a rigid polymer. Properly chosen plasticizers lead to flexible floor coverings useful in anti-fatigue mats and launderable, walk off...

A backing film for incorporation as a backing layer in a resilient floor covering or a floor tile having at least two laminae and a method for making such a backing layer whereby wastage is reduced when the color of the upper lamina is changed. Where there are two backing films having two or three laminae making up the backing layer the intermediately colored film resulting from a change in the color of the upper lamina can be utilized without further processing on the second backing film where ...

A mattress covering adapted for fitted disposition over the top, sides, ends and corners of mattresses. An inelastic, generally rectangular top portion with an outer periphery is dimensioned to at least substantially cover the top surface of mattresses of at least one predetermined standard top surface size. An inelastic side skirt extends transversely to the top portion from the outer periphery of the top portion around the entire outer periphery of the top portion. An inelastic panel extends a...

Protective coverings are provided for glass windows and the like. The protective coverings comprise impact and puncture resistant protective panels formed from strand material which includes reinforcing fibers and polymeric material.

A downrod of a ceiling fan is provided with a decorative covering which may be utilized for various sizes of downrods.

A mattress covering in the form of a fitted mattress pad or fitted sheet has a top portion, an inelastic side skirt extending perpendicularly from the top portion, an inelastic underskirt extending from the side skirt, a first elastic cord attached to the inelastic underskirt at its outer periphery remote from the top portion. At least a second, separate elastic cord attached to the covering at some place between the top portion and the first elastic cord. The top portion is dimensioned to fit a...

A floor covering suitable as an entrance mat comprises a plurality of tread strips of substantially resilient and flexible material, each tread strip having a wear layer of fibrous or fibrous like material whereby said tread strips provide a fibrous tread surface, and a plurality of spacer strips of substantially rigid material arranged interposed between the tread strips whereby each successive pair of tread strips is spaced apart by at least two of said spacer strips, and the pluralities of st...

Flexible vinyl floor coverings in which the wear layer comprises a blend of PVC, simple ester plasticizer and thermoplastic urethane polymer have improved anti-slip characteristics and good resistance to staining, abrasion and scratching. The urethane polymer is preferably an aliphatic polyester polyurethane, and it is preferably present in an amount of 5 to 40 parts by weight per 100 parts PVC resin.
