Patent number: 10934068Abstract: A venting liner is connectable in fluid communication between a closure and an interior of a device for venting gas from the interior into the ambient atmosphere. The venting liner has a first fluid impervious and gas permeable outer layer, a second relatively rigid and substantially incompressible outer layer defining an open cell structure, and an inner foam layer defining an inner surface and an outer surface, a plurality of fluid-flow apertures spaced relative to each other, extending between the inner and outer surfaces, and forming substantially vertical fluid-flow paths through the inner layer. The first outer layer is in fluid communication with the interior of the device for venting gas through the interior of the first outer layer, substantially vertically through the apertures and, in turn, through the interior open cell structure of the second outer layer and into the ambient atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: DEWAL INDUSTRIES, LLCInventor: Edward D Walsh

Patent number: 10259202Abstract: A fluoropolymer composite film wire or cable wrap comprises an outer layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and an inner layer of melt processable fluoropolymer film. The inner and outer layers are laminated with each other in tape form, such as by the application of heat and/or pressure thereto. The fluoropolymer composite tape is wrapped about one or more wires or cables, and is heated or sintered after wrapping to bond the tape to the wire or cable, and bond the tape to itself at the seams.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: ROGERS CORPORATIONInventor: Edward D.

Patent number: 8220649Abstract: A venting liner is connectable in fluid communication between a closure and an interior of a device for venting gas from the interior into the ambient atmosphere. The venting liner has an outer foam layer defining an inner surface and an outer surface, a plurality of fluid-flow apertures spaced relative to each other, extending between the inner and outer surfaces, and forming substantially vertical fluid-flow paths through the outer layer, and a plurality of relatively raised portions extending outwardly relative to the outer surface adjacent to respective fluid-flow apertures. A plurality of the relatively raised portions are engageable with the closure, define a substantially horizontal, tortuous fluid-flow path between the outer surface and the closure, and are in fluid communication with a plurality of fluid-flow apertures for venting gas flowing substantially vertically through the fluid-flow aperture(s) and, in turn, substantially horizontally between the outer surface and the closure.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Dewal IndustriesInventor: Edward D.

Publication number: 20110008600Abstract: A chemical barrier lamination has a first fluoropolymer layer, and a second fluoropolymer layer laminated to the first fluoropolymer layer and forming a non-porous, chemically inert, moisture vapor transmission barrier lamination. A method for making a chemical barrier lamination is also shown and described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2009Publication date: January 13, 2011Inventor: Edward D. Walsh

Patent number: 7784630Abstract: There is provided a gasket element having at least one first inner layer and at least one first outer layer. Each of the at least two layers have differing material properties. The gasket element is well suited to cooperate with an ingress/egress opening of a container that in turn is well suited to retain an active pressure and/or temperature sensitive substance. The gasket element may be operatively connected to a cap element that is suitable to selectively close the at least one ingress/egress opening of the container. The cap element may be a stand alone sealing cap or may be operatively associated with a spray nozzle or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Dewall IndustriesInventor: Edward D.
