Patent number: 8104392Abstract: The invention relates to a rod-shaped fiber composite material (400) composed of a matrix (412) and a circular braid (402) embedded into the matrix. To increase the stability of the fiber composite material (400) and also to perform ducting functions for electricity and fluids, the wall of the circular braid is provided with wall chambers (408) which are separated by a phase boundary from the matrix (412) of the fiber composite material (400). These wall chambers (408) lead to inner and outer sections of the wall of the circular braid (402) being spaced apart, which is useful for the stability with regard to flexing and torsional loading in particular. Rod-shaped fiber composite materials (400) according to the invention can be used for creating stable structural components as well as for producing efficiently protected ducts. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a process which are useful for producing fiber composite material according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2006Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Deutsche Institute fur Textil-und Faserforschung Denkendorf Stiftung Des Oeffentlichen RechtsInventors: Markus Milwich, Carsten Linti, Thomas Stegmaier, Heinrich Planck, Thomas Speck, Axel Herrmann, Olga Speck

Patent number: 7951258Abstract: Method and arrangement for manufacturing core composite layer workpieces (sandwich structures) from at least one first and at least one second cover sheet (1, 2) between which a core sheet (30) including especially short cut fibers (9) is provided, are disclosed with which a continuous and substantially break free manufacture can be conducted which leads to composite layer structures with reasonable costs. Single manufacturing parameters can specifically be varied with different embodiments so that in a relatively simple manner composite layer structures with desired physical properties can be obtained, for example with respect to their strength, stiffness, flexibility, mechanical and acoustic absorption capabilities, working properties, and so on. Composite layer structures for new applications can be manufactured as well.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Lamera ABInventors: Jerry Karlsson, Heinrich Planck, Thomas Stegmaier, Hermann Finckh

Patent number: 7582108Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular implant, in particular a stent, in the form of a round braid composed of threads of biocompatible material extending in oppositely directed helices and crossing over each other, thread areas located at the tube ends being free from thread ends, and threads present there being guided back into the braid structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Deutsche Institute für Textil-und Faserforschung Stuttgart Stiftung des Oeffentlichen RechtsInventors: Helmut Hierlemann, Maria Baumann, Markus Milwich, Heinrich Planck

Patent number: 7410116Abstract: A system for winding a cross-wound bobbin has a rotatably supported tube holder that is intended to receive a tube. The yarn guide element that serves the purpose of shogging the yarn moves in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the tube and is made to execute the oscillating reciprocating motion with the aid of a work cylinder. The work cylinder has the advantage that for braking the kinetic energy at the turning point of the yarn guide element, no additional external energy must be applied. It suffices for the applicable cylindrical chamber to be blocked off. Moreover, the gas compressed in the process can be used to accelerate the piston in the opposite direction. The stored braking energy also can be used simultaneously as acceleration energy. Since in the creation of a cross-wound bobbin many thousand such changes of direction occur, the energy savings are substantial.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: DITF Deutsche Institute fur Textil- under FaserforschungInventors: Heinrich Planck, Christoph Riethmuller, Helmut Weinsdorfer
