  • Pile weatherstripping manufacturing apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7419555
    Abstract: Pile weatherstripping (20) having an integral fin is made by wrapping a fin material around a traveling mandrel or band (14), winding pile material around the fin material and the band (14), attaching a pair of backer elements to the pile material along opposite edges of the band, and then cutting the fin material and the pile material to produce simultaneously two pile weatherstrips. Stationary and traveling elements may be employed to facilitate cutting and produce fin above the pile weatherstrips (20).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2008
    Assignee: Amesbury Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Joseph Kaplo, Joseph Henry, Randy Wayne Privette
  • MULTIPLANAR EMI SHIELDING GASKET AND METHOD OF MAKING
    Publication number: 20060208426
    Abstract: A method of forming a conductive gasket material by layering at least one conductive web layer having a blended mixture of conductive fibers and low melting point nonconductive fibers onto a foam core, and needlepunching the conductive web layer and the foam core forming a conductive composite gasket material having a plurality of conductive fibers interspersed through the foam core.

  • Clad polymer EMI shield
    Publication number: 20020050373
    Abstract: An electromagnetic interference shield for use around access panels and doors in electronic equipment enclosures includes a base and profile manufactured from an electrically nonconductive solid material such as a thermoplastic resin polymer. An electrically conductive layer of a metallized fabric is bonded to the profile to provide effective shielding and grounding functions. The underlying polymer provides elastic compliancy and resiliency to the shield.
