The frame includes a raised wiping lip surrounding the panel. In use, the player need only swipe one foot over the top of the cleaning and drying device attached to the other foot, brushing the sole. One swipe wets and squeegees dry, and the process is repeated for the other foot. | 11-12-2015 |
20150330029 | FLUSHABLE WIPE AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - A multi-ply flushable wipe includes a ply having first and second exterior layers and a middle layer disposed therebetween. Each of the exterior layers includes at least 50% by weight natural fibers. When foam-formed, the middle layer includes at least 25% by weight natural fibers. In embodiments, the middle layer may include at least 75% by weight natural fibers. The middle layer also includes synthetic fibers that have a length within the range of 1 mm and 20 mm. The wipe may have a length weight weighted average fiber length of less than 4 mm and a wet CD strength of greater than 20 N/m. Each ply of the wipe may be formed by wetlaying the first and second exterior layers and a foam formed middle layer to form a web, imprinting the web with a structured fabric, and drying the web. The plies are then attached using a binder. | 11-19-2015 |
