  • Process for manufacturing a rope
    Patent number: 5829242
    Abstract: The modulus of stretch af a fibrous rope is reduced by impregnating a pluity of spaced-apart segments of the rope with an epoxy plastic thereby to reduce the modulus of stretch of the segment equal to zero after curing the plastic. The overall modulus of stretch of a re-manufactured rope taken as a whole is proportional to the ratio of the length of an impregnated segment relative to a unit length of the rope.

  • Aircraft folding airfoil system
    Patent number: 4106727
    Abstract: A folding airfoil for an aircraft in which the wing or stabilizer airfoil n be folded and contained entirely within the fuselage of the aircraft. The airfoil comprises a series of elongated sheet metal channel sections of generally C-shaped cross section with the cross sectional dimension of successive channels decreasing so that each can nest entirely within an adjacent channel.
