Towel tags to permit minimizing the use of water and detergent during washing and minimizing wear and tear of towels, the spread of germs and diseases between towel users, and minimizing the use of energy, and saving money. The abstract of the disclosure is submitted herewith as required by 37 C.F.R. &#xa7;1.72(b). As stated in 37 C.F.R. &#xa7;1.72(b): A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification must commence on a separate sheet, preferably following the claims, under the heading 'Abstract of the Disclosure.' The purpose of the abstract is to enable the Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. Any statements made relating to the abstract are not intended to limit the claims in any manner and should not be interpreted as limiting the claims in any manner.

The present invention relates to a foam reduction agent comprising low vapor pressure dibasic esters and a method of using a liquid to contact with polystyrene foam wherein the higher boiling temperature of the low vapor pressure dibasic esters and contact with the liquid provides a volume reduction process and less evaporation loss as well as safer transportation of the chemicals and the polystyrene in its reduced state. The resulting reduced sludge is also recyclable to superior quality raw polystyrene foam beads and the reduction agents are recoverable for future use. The resulting sludge also has unexpected beneficial uses heretofore unknown as a waterproofing agent, a paint stripper, as a graffiti remover, as an extender of the life of concrete, as an adhesive remover, as a stain remover, as a scuff mark remover, and as a general degreaser.

Reduction in polystyrene foams with low vapor pressure dibasic esters

The present invention is directed to novel polystyrene foam reduction recycling compositions and methods that solve the volume problem of recycling polystyrene foam materials while simultaneously allowing the easy and inexpensive shipment of the foamed materials after reduction in volume by use of one or more dibasic ester compositions in combination with one or more low heat based mechanical extruders. The methods of the present invention are applicable to all types of expanded or foamed polystyrene materials known to those of skill in the art.

Methods of reducing polystyrene foams using dibasic esters with extruders

A foam reduction agent consisting of dibasic esters is shown and a process using a liquid contact with polystyrene foam wherein the higher boiling temperature of the dibasic esters and contact with the liquid provides a volume reduction process and less evaporation loss as well as safer transportation of the chemicals and the polystyrene in its reduced state. The resulting reduced sludge is also recyclable to superior quality raw polystyrene foam beads and the reduction agents are recoverable for future use. The resulting sludge also has unexpected beneficial uses hereto for unknown as a waterproofing agent.

A decorative lighting system uses a plurality of figurines, usually a family of characters appropriate for a specific holiday, such as: jack-o-lantern, ghosts, witches, black cats, skeletons, etc. for halloween or Santa Clause, candles, candy canes, reindeer, etc. for Christmas. The figurines are all plastic, preferably blow molded with a sloping top that provides a weather resistant roof. The figurines may be made to hang from above or to be supported on the ground, or both hanging and supported. Light bulbs of an indoor/outdoor string of Christmas tree lights may be attached to the figurines by an elastomeric coupler. An adapter mounting plate enables the figurines to be substituted for fixtures on posts in a permanent ground lighting system.

A backyard toy includes an elongated slide sheet terminating in a pool. Inflatable side walls on the pool form a serpentine pathway through the pool so that a child sliding on the slide follows a zig zag path through said pool. A sprayer is provided to wet the slide and make the surface slick.
