This invention provides a fuser member comprising a core having a polymeric coating wherein said wrinkle index of said fuser member is less than 75, said wrinkle index (WI) being calculated by the following formula: ##EQU1## where: S is the stiffness of the core in megaPascals (MPa); T is the thickness of said polymeric coating in millimeters (mm); and H is the hardness (Shore A) of the polymeric coating.

A breast support pad for supporting the upper breast when the wearer of a brassiere is lying on one side, the breast support pad placeable generally inside and against the central portion of the brassiere between the two curved portions and away from the other portions of the brassiere, the breast support pad comprising a body having a front face with a thick vertical section and a back face adapted to conform with the chest of the wearer between the breasts, the back face comprising a concave c...

Formaldehyde-free durable press finished textiles having cross-linked polymaleate finishes are provided. The finish comprises a cross-linked polymaleate having a crosslinked adjunct selected from the group having the formula: ##STR00001## wherein R is independently H, OH, OM, or a unit having the formula: ##STR00002## and mixtures thereof; X is H, OH, or OSO.sub.3M, M is H, a salt forming cation, and mixtures thereof; the indices x, y, and z are each independently from 0 to about 7; x+z is great...

A method of manufacturing wrinkle-free garment seams and garments made therefrom comprises (a) placing a bonding element comprising a thermal adhesive between garment components; (b) stitching along a seam line; and (c) applying heat and/or pressure to cause the adhesive to melt and flow along the seam to bond at least one garment component. The thermal adhesive has a melting point of higher than about 150.degree. C., preferably in the range about 160.degree. C. to about 190.degree. C. Alternati...

A process for finishing cellulosic textile materials with N-methylol compounds and chlorinated or brominated ethylene carbonates.

The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

A wrinkle prevention structure is employed in an electrophotographic imaging device using a continuous form recording sheet. The structure is provided with a guide member disposed on the upstream side of a pair of fixing rollers. The guide member has a guide surface extending substantially horizontally for guiding the recording sheet toward a nip between the pair of fixing rollers, and a tension surface arranged on downstream side of the guide surface. The upstream side end of the tension surfac...

The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry fabric softening product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item either during the rinse step of the washing procedure or in the dryer. The need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying are thereby reduced.

A method of reducing wrinkles in fabrics by applying to the fabrics to be treated an aqueous alcoholic solution of an anionic siliconate having the formula wherein M is an alkali metal cation or hydrogen; R is an organic linking group; Y is an alkali metal salt of an oxyacid; a is an integer having a value of from one to three; and b is an integer having a value of from 0.5 to three. A composition including a mixture of the anionic siliconate with glycerin is also disclosed.
