| 20100276069 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TUBULAR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS - The present invention provides a method for the production of a tubular structural component. A tubular moulding tool having an inner mould surface which is shaped corresponding to an outer surface of the structural component is provided. A support surface of an expandable support which is formed such that in an unexpanded state, it fills the moulding tool, leaving an expansion spacing of the support surface to the mould surface, is covered with a tubular fibre-woven fabric. After the support has been arranged in the moulding tool, the fibre-woven fabric is pressed against the mould surface by expanding the support and is infiltrated by a curable matrix. From another point of view, a device is provided for the production of a tubular structural component. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100294421 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING REINFORCED RUBBER HOSE - An inner mold having, on the outer surface thereof, corrugations matching the shape of the bellows, and an outer mold having, on the inner surface thereof, corrugations matching the shape of the bellows, are used. An airbag that is previously and at least partially formed into a bellows shape is placed on an outer side of the inner mold so as to cover at least a corrugated part with the airbag. A cylindrical preform comprising unvulcanized rubber and a reinforcement material is placed on the outer side of the airbag. An outer mold is placed on the outer side of the preform. A pressurized fluid is supplied between the inner mold and the airbag so as to inflate the airbag. The preform is vulcanized under heating while being pressed against an inner surface of the outer mold, whereby a reinforced rubber hose is manufactured. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110017383 | Sports ball - A sports ball includes an inflatable bladder, and a ball carcass. The ball pocket is constructed to have a true roundness shape, having an interior cavity receiving the inflatable bladder therein, wherein when the inflatable bladder is inflated, the ball pocket retains a true roundness shape of the inflatable bladder. The ball carcass includes a ball cushion and a plurality of carcass panels. Each of the carcass panels has a peripheral edge and a flat bottom surface defined within the peripheral edge, wherein the bottom surface of each of the carcass panels is entirely affixed to the ball cushion at a position that the peripheral edge of each of the carcass panels is fittingly aligned with the peripheral edges of the adjacent carcass panels to form a roundness carcass of the sportsball in a stitch-less manner. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110048616 | LAMINATE ASSEMBLY SEALING METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT - An example method of sealing a laminate assembly includes preloading a laminate assembly having a plurality of laminations, pressurizing the laminate assembly, and pressurizing an enclosed volume disposed adjacent an end portion of the laminate assembly to hold the laminations in sealed positions. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110277918 | Collapsible Mandrel Employing Reinforced Fluoroelastomeric Bladder - A collapsible mandrel comprises an inflatable bladder. The bladder includes a reinforcement sandwiched between inner and outer layers of a fluoroelastomeric rubber. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120261057 | METHOD AND TOOLING FOR MANUFACTURE OF CO-CURED COMPOSITE STRUCTURES - A method and part forming apparatus configured for forming an aircraft stringer. The part forming apparatus may comprise a forming tool, a rigid plate, and a hollow bladder. The forming tool may comprise a material trough, a bladder extension trough laterally aligned with and open to the material trough, and a recessed pocket extending from either side of the bladder extension trough and adjacent to the material trough. The method comprises placing composite material into the material trough, placing the bladder onto the composite material and through the bladder extension trough, placing the rigid plate into the recessed pocket and over the bladder, and then placing skin laminate over the bladder and the composite material. Once each of these components is in place, the forming tool may be vacuum bagged and the composite material and skin laminate may be co-cured to form the stringer. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20120267040 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING HOLLOW PRODUCT - A method for producing a hollow product comprises a film arrangement step wherein a film is arranged on a fiber layer; a molded body arrangement step wherein a molded body having a recess is arranged on the film after the film after the film arrangement step in such a manner that the opening of the recess faces the film; a step of gas evacuation from between the fiber layer and the film, wherein the gas present between the fiber layer and the film is evacuated; a step of gas evacuation from between the film and the molded body, wherein the gas present between the film and the molded body is evacuated; a film-molded body bonding step wherein the film and the molded body are bonded together after the step of gas evacuation from between the film and the molded body; and a fiber layer-film bonding step wherein the fiber layer and the film are bonded together after the step of gas evacuation from between the fiber layer and the film. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20120285609 | Methods for Crimping a Polymeric Scaffold to a Delivery Balloon and Achieving Stable Mechanical Properties in the Scaffold After Crimping - A medical device-includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. The scaffold is crimped to the balloon by a process that includes inflating the delivery balloon during a diameter reduction to improve scaffold retention. A crimping temperature is maintained at about the onset of glass transition of the polymer material to facilitate more rapid stabilization of mechanical properties in the scaffold following crimping. | 11-15-2012 |
| 20140014259 | GAS CYLINDERS - A method of protecting a gas cylinder with a plastics sleeve, comprises the steps of placing a plastics sleeve over a complementary inflatable former of elastomeric material, inflating the former so as to reversibly to stretch the plastics sleeve radially, deflating the former, removing the sleeve from the former, and fitting the stretched plastics sleeve over the gas cylinder before the plastics sleeve shrinks again. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140352873 | WINDING METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A ROTATIONALLY SYMMETRIC, TUBE-LIKE HOLLOW BODY PREFORM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A DEVICE FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Winding method for the production of a rotationally symmetric, tube-like hollow body preform, device ( | 12-04-2014 |
| 20150306856 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MACHINE-LAMINATED BASKETBALL - A method for manufacturing a machine-laminated basketball comprises the steps of: providing a winding on a bladder; providing a carcass; forming a first adhesive layer on the carcass, drying the first adhesive layer; providing a second adhesive layer on each of multiple ball covers, drying the second adhesive layer; arranging the ball covers in two hemisphere molds; placing the carcass in one of the two hemisphere molds; closing up the two hemisphere molds; inflating the carcass to obtain a pre-laminated ball; vulcanizing the pre-laminated ball to obtain a vulcanized laminated ball; surface finishing the vulcanized laminated ball, and painting strips to obtain the machine-laminated basketball. Accordingly, the ball covers of the basketball are firmly laminated to the carcass. Basketballs made by the method have a unified rebound and appearance can be varied depending on demand. The method has an improved production efficiency. | 10-29-2015 |
