Patent number: 11969930Abstract: An extrusion process for creating a roof ditch molding including forming a main body from a plastic material in a first stage extrusion, conveying the main body through a stacked array of die plates and into a first stage cooling tank, and communicating the main body from an outlet of the first stage cooling tank to a second stage extruder with crosshead die for applying a skim film bonding layer to the main body. Additional steps include applying a decorative layer over the skim bonding layer, communicating the main body to a third stage extruder with cross head die for applying wing portions in partially overlapping fashion along opposite side edges of the decorative layer and drawing the completed ditch molding through a second stage cooling tank prior to conducting one or more finishing operations.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Bank of America, N.A., As Administrative AgentInventors: Timothy John Brown, Kevin Charles Baxter, Gerald N.

Patent number: 11597131Abstract: A process and related assembly for creating an extrusion molded article with a chemically applied outer film. An extruded base material is formed during a first extrusion operation, following which a multi-layer film is bonded to the base material while the base material still at an above ambient temperature. The multi-layer film further includes successive layers of each of a polypropylene (PP), an adhesive, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a coating and s subsequent surface PET. The step of bonding of the film further occurs during an intermediate step between the first extrusion operation for forming the base material according to a given profile section and a subsequent extrusion operation for applying additional material along an edge of the film, the additional material including profile wings as required for a given design.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: U.S. Farathane CorporationInventor: Kevin Charles Baxter

Publication number: 20190374359Abstract: A controlled expansion stent graft delivery system has an adjustment configuration in which a retractable sheath is at a retracted position out of contact with a stent graft, but expansion of the stent graft is controlled by a control tether, which has a middle segment wrapped around a fabric tube of the stent graft. The stent graft changes diameter responsive to a tension level in the control tether. At least one of an orientation and a position of the stent graft may be adjusted during controlled expansion via the control tether. After proper placement of the stent graft, a tip clamp assembly can be actuated to unclamp and release the control tether.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2019Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Ryan Bradway, Charles Baxter
