Anti-slip overshoe

InactiveUS6836977B2Easy to slipEasily offSolesWeltsEngineeringTread
An overshoe that is removably disposable on a user's shoe and provides a tread surface that enhances the user's footing on slippery surfaces. The tread surface has removable spikes that penetrate surfaces and forward-oriented and rearwards-oriented gripping ridges that grip the surface. The ease of pulling on and removing the overshoe is enhanced by using stretch zones that are placed to allow stretching of the overshoe to fit over a shoe or the like without compromising the snugness of the overshoe fit. A spike assembly for use with an overshoe that fits over a person's shoe and enhances a person's contact with the ground, includes a spike having a head operably coupled to a shank; and a button overmolded on the spike and having a neck for removable engagement in a bore defined in the overshoe.

Method of manufacturing phase difference film and phase difference film roll

ActiveCN103052489AWeak two-way stretchImprove area utilization efficiencyOptical articlesPolarising elementsPhase differenceEngineering
One of the methods of manufacturing a phase difference film of the present invention provides a strip-shaped phase difference film which has a delayed phase axis that is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, an NZ coefficient closer to 1 than conventional values, and a weak biaxial stretchability (has strong uniaxial stretchability). In the manufacturing method is used a pair of clip sets that grip both peripheral edge parts of the strip-shaped raw film, and a heating and stretching apparatus having a stretching zone. At the time the clip sets grip the raw film, the traveling speed of the pair of clip sets is the same. The stretching zone has a first segment in which the traveling speed of one of the clip sets that have traveled into the zone is successively reduced, and after the first segment, a second segment in which the traveling speed of the above one of the clip sets that have traveled via the first segment is successively restored.
