Christo M. Wassouf has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Extrusion coated ignition wire
    Patent number: 4704596
    Abstract: Automotive ignition wire with a high temperature rating, excellent electrical insulating properties, heat resistance, oil resistance and abrasion resistance is described. The wire utilizes a conductor made up of a glass fiber-cotton fiber braid on a graphite impregnated glass layer. Overcoating the conductor is an adhesion promoting polymer layer, an extruded thermosetting semiconducting polymer layer overcoated with a glass braid layer and a polymer jacket material. The polymer jacket material comprises a polymeric mixture of ethylene vinyl acetate and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer stabilized with a mixture of a phenolic antioxidant and a metal salt antioxidant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 1986
    Date of Patent: November 3, 1987
    Assignee: Essex Group, Inc.

  • Ignition wire
    Patent number: 4700171
    Abstract: Automotive ignition wire with a high temperature rating, excellent electrical insulating properties, heat resistance, oil resistance and abrasion resistance is described. The wire utilizes a conductor made up of either a helically wound metal conductor on a radio frequency insulating polymer overcoated on a polymer adhesive layer on a glass fiber bundle; or a glass fiber-cotton fiber braid on a graphite impregnated glass layer. Overcoating either one of the conductors is a semiconducting polymer layer, an ethylene-propylene-diene monomer containing polymer layer optionally overcoated with a glass braid layer and a polymer jacket material. The polymer jacket material comprises a polymeric mixture of ethylene vinyl acetate and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer stabilized with a mixture of a phenolic antioxidant and a metal salt antioxidant.
