Title: Method for making double-wall shells by centrifuging
Inventor: TARTAR ADOLPHE
IPC: B65D90/02
Filed: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A method of fabricating a double-walled shell of fiber reinforced plastic material is by centrifuging. The outer wall of the shell is made by projecting glass fibers and resin in a liquid phase against an inside face of a cylindrical mold rotating about its horizontal axis. A section member is then applied against the inside face of the outer wall by a plurality of turns having a diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the outer wall and separated from one another by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the outer wall. The section member has a channel section with a web and two flanges extending radially outward, defining a sealed helical duct. The space between the turns is filled with resin by centrifuging, forming a helical spacer, and the inner wall is formed by centrifuging.

Abstract: The power transmission system uses a support plate which is prefabricated in a mould, using a material which is initially malleable. Conducting bars are introduced into the moulded shape, and secured in place. The moulding uses a material which is initially malleable, and provides a support which tolerates a degree of expansion when conducting bars expand.  The procedure for manufacture of a power transmission system includes use of conductive bars (14A, 14B, 14C, 16) and a support plate (12). Each conductive bar passes through the support plate. The support plate is prefabricated in a mould, using a material which is initially malleable. The moulding includes orifices (20A, 20B, 20C, 22) for passage of the conductive bars. The bars are introduced into the moulded shape, and secured in place. The moulding may take place by injection of a melted material into a cavity of fixed dimensions. Alternatively the moulding may be achieved by compression of a block of malleable material between two complementary jaws, in order to define the mould. The cross-sectional shape of the bars is such that their width is at least six times their thickness.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexographic water based ink in which a biodegradable polymer, such a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), replaces conventional poorly or non-biodegradable organic polymeric resins for example. PHAs are used as a latex suspension in water, thus the present invention relates to a novel pigment/latex mixture. PHA in a latex form is a fluid vehicle in which all the other components necessary to provide a flexographic ink are added, i.e., pigments, wax and/or binder, as well as a solvent, if necessary. The PHAs are mainly responsible for the biodegradability of the flexographic water based ink.
