Title: Positive shut-off air outlet
Inventor: GLOISTEN JENNIFER L
IPC: B64D13/00
Filed: 2002-04-19
Granted: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A positive shut-off air outlet comprises a nozzle having an internal surface with a spherical radius of curvature, a disc mounted within the nozzle having an external surface with a spherical radius of curvature adapted to interface with the internal surface of the nozzle, and a plurality of axle pins disposed in the external surface of the disc preferably extending beyond the external surface of the nozzle. A seal may also be provided encircling the nozzle in a space between the nozzle and a ball housing in which the nozzle is rotatably mounted at a point where the axle pins extend. The seal is adapted to rotate with the nozzle inside the ball housing. The disc is mounted for rotation and longitudinal movement within the nozzle between open positions permitting air flow and a closed position preventing air flow. The axle pins are received within axle openings disposed in the surface of the nozzle. Each axle opening is dimensioned to permit longitudinal movement of a respective axle pin and the disc in the nozzle. When the disc is in the closed position, air flow causes longitudinal movement of the disc against the nozzle so that the external surface of the disc interfaces with the internal surface of the nozzle to form an air flow seal.

Title: Direct forming of non-textile fabric elements from thermoplastic pellets or the like
Inventor: O'CONNOR GREGORY W
IPC: B29C39/18
Filed: 2000-10-26
Granted: 2009-07-28
Abstract: An inventive solid phase forming process, and related structure, using conventional pelletized thermoplastic compositions to form the elements of a non-textile fabric by coining a single pellet or briquette of the polymer into an individual element in a single forming step. The steps of the process generally include: a) positioning a pellet (78A) in or adjacent to a mold cavity, and b) forcing the pellet into contact with the mold surfaces of the mold cavity to plastically deform the pellet to cause the pellet to adapt the shape of the mold cavity (102, 104). The mold cavity has a shape to form the desired element, and its volume is substantially the same as the volume of the pellet (78A). The forcing step or act preferably uses an energy and speed wherein the pellet superplastically deforms to substantially fill the volume of the mold cavity. This process is repeated with the particular element being formed in the appropriate order to form interconnected plates (40) and rivets (42), as an example, with the final result being a non-textile fabric. The elements formed by the inventive process can have any of a variety of shapes, and can form base units for the formation of the non textile fabric of two, three or more elements. This inventive process elimininates the need to first formthe pelletized polymer into a sheet or other type of preform prior to the forming of the final product.
