Patent number: 11283164Abstract: Invention relates to a radome casing and method for its manufacturing. The radome casing comprises walls (6, 11) of composite material which includes reinforcement fibers (8) and matrix resin (19) binding the fibers together. The walls include a radiation transmission window (11) through which the radiation of a radome antenna passes when the radome antenna (2) is mounted inside the radome casing (1). The amount of fibers in the radiation transmission window (11) is reduced to be less than 40-5% of the amount of fibers elsewhere in the casing walls (6). The reduction of reinforcement fibers in the radiation transmission window (11) reduces attenuation of the high frequency radiation.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: EXEL COMPOSITES OYJInventors: Kim Sjödahl, Mikko Lassila

Patent number: 10183839Abstract: A method for manufacturing a flexible composite belt or cable, in the method, one or more parallel reinforced plastic profiles (11) are manufactured by pultrusion, continuous lamination or other continuous method. After surface treatment, the reinforced plastic profiles (11) are guided at a short distance from one another to coating treatment, which is carried out by extrusion or lamination or pultrusion. In the coating treatment, the reinforced plastic profiles are enveloped with a coating material (12) improving wear resistance which joins the reinforced plastic profiles (11) together and forms the coating of a finished belt or cable (10). Finally, the finished belt or cable (10) is wound on a reel.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Exel Composites OyjInventors: Juha Honkanen, Kim Sjödahl, Vesa Korpimies

Patent number: 9580925Abstract: A frangible guy wire of an airport mast, which breaks on impact without presenting a hazard or causing critical damage to the object impacting with it. The main part of the length of the guy wire consists of a tube or tubular profile made of composite material, the proportions of the dimensions and materials of which have been selected in such a way that in the event of impact, the tube (4) or tubular profile will break by fracturing, that is, by breaking into pieces. The wall thickness of the tube or tubular profile is selected to be so thin that the desired fracturing is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: EXEL COMPOSITES OYJInventor: Sami Heikkinen

Patent number: 9259896Abstract: Doctor blade material, which is composed of a number of layers that are connected to each other and include at least a frame layer. The frame layer, includes outer layers on both sides and is constructed of carbon fiber and/or mineral fiber, e.g. glass fiber, basalt fiber, et cetera. The outer layers include carbon fiber. The outer layer is a compact-multiaxial layer composed of a surface layer containing carbon fiber and of two or more support layers. The surface layer includes carbon fibers that are at a 90° angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the doctor blade, wherein the fibers in the first support layer following the surface layer are at an angle between (?70°)-(?20°) or (+20°)-(+70°) with respect to the fibers of the surface layer. The fibers in the second support layer following this are at an angle between (+20°)-(+70°) or (?70°)-(?20°) with respect to the fibers of the surface layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: EXEL COMPOSITES OYJInventor: Pentti Miettinen
