Wall systems are disclosed which employ a plurality of individual panels formed of extruded polymeric material joined in edge-to-edge relation including wale members which are vertically offset and interlocked at end portions thereof with adjacent wale members. The wall systems include connector elements for joining and interlocking the adjacent panel edges, and panels are disclosed, each having a continuous convex surface between their opposite side edges and strengthening ribs formed on a concave surface disposed opposite the convex surface thereof. A revetment system is disclosed in which a pair of wall sections are positioned in facing spaced-apart relation and joined by tie bolts extending through the wale members, to receive concrete therebetween.

Wall system employing extruded panel sections

A substantially flat layer of material and method and apparatus for making the same, as well as a product utilizing the same, are provided, the flat layer of material having opposed substantially parallel spaced apart flat surfaces and comprising polymeric material and reinforcing particles disposed in the polymeric material and having at least a part thereof with the long dimensions thereof oriented so as to be substantially perpendicular to the opposed surfaces thereof.

Layer of reinforced polymeric material, method and apparatus for making

The apparatus has a pair of electrodes that create an electrostatic field therebetween which orients at least part of the reinforcing particles in a liquid polymeric layer so that the long dimensions of the part of the particles are disposed substantially perpendicular to the opposed flat surfaces of the layer of material, the electrodes each have a portion disposed upstream of a heating tunnel and another portion disposed in the tunnel so that the oriented particles are held in the oriented condition thereof as the heating tunnel dries the polymeric material.

Apparatus for electrostatically orienting reinforcing particles in a

A method and apparatus for making a polymeric coated fabric layer is provided, the method comprising the steps of providing a fabric layer having warps and fills initially woven at a certain angle relative to each other, then changing the certain angle to another angle by stretching the fabric layer in one direction thereof whereby the fabric layer is in an altered condition thereof, disposing a liquid polymeric coating on at least one side of the fabric layer while the same is in the altered condition, doctoring the coating, further stretching the fabric layer in the one direction after the step of disposing the coating thereon, and drying the coating with a heating unit to at least a degree thereof that will hold the fabric layer in substantially the altered condition thereof, the step of doctoring the coating taking place after the step of further stretching the fabric layer and the step of further stretching the fabric layer taking place after the heating unit has dried the coating to at least a degree thereof that the further stretching of the fabric layer causes an outward thickening of tne coating on the one side of the fabric layer.

Method and apparatus for making a polymeric coated fabric layer

A method and apparatus for making a polymeric coated layer is provided, the method comprising the steps of providing a strand layer with the strands thereof disposed in a predetermined pattern, forming the strand layer to comprise a first substantially planar layer of strands disposed in superimposed relation with a second substantially planar layer of strands whereby the strands of the first layer are not woven with the strands of the second layer, disposing a liquid polymeric coating on the strand layer while the strands thereof are disposed in the pattern thereof, doctoring the coating, stretching the strand layer in one direction after the step of disposing the coating thereon, and drying the coating with a heating unit to at least a degree thereof that will hold the strands of the strand layer in substantially the pattern thereof whereby the coating effectively is the sole securement securing the strands of the first layer to the strands of the second layer and thereby imparts its flexible characteristic to the securement between the strands of the first and second layers. The step of doctoring the coating takes place after the step of stretching the strand layer and the step of stretching the strand layer takes place after the heating unit has dried the coating to at least a degree thereof that the stretching of the strand layer causes an outward thickening of the coating from the strand layer.

Polymeric coated fabric layer

A substantially flat layer of material and method for making the same are provided, the flat layer of material having opposed substantially parallel spaced apart flat surfaces and comprising polymeric material and reinforcing particles disposed in the polymeric material and having at least a part thereof with the long dimensions thereof oriented so as to be substantially perpendicular to the opposed surfaces thereof.

A ball tee is provided having a base and an upstanding column carried by the base and having means for supporting a ball thereon. The column and base are made entirely of a yieldable resilient material enabling the column to be struck by a ball bat with the column and bat remaining intact and enabling the base and the major portion of the column to be easily flattened upon applying compressive forces thereagainst to thereby assure a person falling thereon will not be injured.

Ball tee

A method of making a package construction for baseball type playing components is provided which comprises a ball tee member and ball bat telescoped within the tee member and may include one or more balls.

Method of making a package construction for baseball type playing

A ball tee made from a container originally utilized for containing a product with the container having a support and a ball tee operatively interconnected with the support so that when the container is suitably disposed on a support surface the ball tee means will be disposed in an upright manner so that a ball can be hit off of the ball tee by a ball bat, the container is utilized as a support or stabilizing base structure for the upright tee; the container may be a conventional milk bottle or carton or conventional cereal box; with the container supported on a support surface, the upright ball tee is inserted through an opening in the top wall of the container and pushed therethrough until its lower end abuts the bottom wall of the container, the upright tee is made to fit snugly with the aperture in the top wall and is anchored at its lower end to the bottom wall.
