Leader Strip For Motion Picture Film
US Patent:
4038453, Jul 26, 1977
Filed:
Sep 15, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/613719
Inventors:
Thomas J. Loran - Boulder CO
Virgil R. Friebel - Longmont CO
Robert P. Pardee - Boulder CO
Virgil R. Friebel - Longmont CO
Robert P. Pardee - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Ball Brothers Research Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
B32B 2714, B32B 516
US Classification:
428325
Abstract:
Leader strip for motion picture films is described which is composed of a substrate of cellulose acetate or polyester, a gum-removing layer comprising an organic binder selected from the group consisting of cellulose esters, polyurethanes, polyacrylonitrile, copolymers of acrylonitrile and vinylidene chloride, and epoxy resins, a gum-shearing agent of finely divided polymeric particles, said agent being bonded by the organic binder to the substrate, said gum-shearing agent being a member selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, polyimides and polyolefins, said polymeric particles having a size less than about five mils.
Lubricant For A Magnetic Member
US Patent:
4188434, Feb 12, 1980
Filed:
May 15, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/906022
Inventors:
Thomas J. Loran - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Storage Technology Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
H01F 126, B32B 2728
US Classification:
428 65
Abstract:
A magnetic record, such as a magnetic disc, has a smooth continuous layer of solid lubricant mixed with liquid lubricant. The lubricating layer is applied by spraying the magnetic record with a carrier in which the solid and liquid lubricants are dissolved. In the preferred embodiment, tetrafluoroethylene telomer, a solid lubricant, is applied to a magnetic disc and then buffed. Perfluoroalkylpolyether, a liquid lubricant, is then applied and buffed. The lubricants are dissolved in a carrier of trichlorotrifluoroethane.
Method And Composition For Lubricating And Lubricated Substrates
US Patent:
3998989, Dec 21, 1976
Filed:

Assignee:
Ball Brothers Research Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
C10M 728, G03C 178, G11B 500
US Classification:
428409
Abstract:
Method and composition for improving lubricity, abrasion resistance, and lowering the coefficient of friction of substrates such as photographic film, magnetic surfaces and other recording elements by applying to such substrates a solution comprising tetrafluoroethylene telomer and a copolymer of vinyl chloride and trifluorochloroethylene in a volatile solvent, drying and removing the excess, and substrates so lubricated.
Method And Composition For Lubricating And Lubricated Substrates
US Patent:
3954637, May 4, 1976
Filed:
Sep 20, 1974

Assignee:
Ball Brothers Research Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
C10M 500, C10M 700
US Classification:
252 12
Abstract:
Method and composition for improving lubricity, abrasion resistance, and lowering the coefficient friction of subtrates such as photographic film, magnetic surfaces and other recording elements by applying to such substrates a solution comprising tetrafluoroethylene telomer and a copolymer of vinyl chloride and trifluorochloroethylene in a volatile solvent, drying and removing the excess, and substrates so lubricated.
System For Cleaning And Lubricating Sound Recording Surfaces
US Patent:
4359798, Nov 23, 1982
Filed:
Jul 29, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/820232
Inventors:
Thomas J. Loran - Boulder CO
International Classification:
B08B 100
US Classification:
1510494
Abstract:
A cleaning and lubricating system is provided. The system includes an applicator comprised of a substrate carrying an excess of cleaning and lubricating compositions, and a buffing member, preferably in combination with the applicator.
In operation, the applicator is wiped against a to-be-cleaned and lubricated surface of an article. This action coats the article with an excess thickness of lubricating composition. The coating is then wiped with the buffing member and the excess lubricating composition is transferred to the buffing member so that the coating on the article is now of a controlled thickness. When an excess supply of lubricating composition builds up on the buffing member portion of the system, the buffing member may then be used as a cleaning and lubricating applicator.
Cleaning And Lubricating Compositions And Method Of Using The Same
US Patent:
4213870, Jul 22, 1980
Filed:
Jul 29, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/820351
Inventors:
Thomas J. Loran - Boulder CO
International Classification:
C10M 132
US Classification:
252 515R
Abstract:
Compositions including fluorinated alkyl esters are provided. Such compositions are useful for cleaning and lowering the coefficient of friction of the surfaces of various articles. In certain preferred embodiments tetrafluorethylene telomers and/or antistatic materials are included in the compositions.
