Patent number: 11827055Abstract: The invention relates to a composite wheel (200) including a hub (202), a rim (204) and a connection structure (206) connecting the hub (202) to the rim (204). The hub (202) has front (208) and rear (209) faces and is formed with one or more mounting formations (216) for, in use, receiving a fastener to mount the hub (202) to a mounting surface of a vehicle. Each mounting formation (216) includes a fastening region (218) recessed into the front face (208) of the hub (202) and includes a fastener aperture (212) defining a passage between the fastening region (218) and the rear face (209) of the hub. Each mounting formation (216) also includes a front-to-fastener ply (224) extending between a front region of the hub and the fastening region (218) for, in use, transferring load between the front region of the hub (202) and the fastening region (218).Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Carbon Revolution LimitedInventors: Ashley James Denmead, Michael Dunbar Silcock, Timothy Corbett, Nicholas Taylor

Patent number: 10759022Abstract: A method of producing a composite component (10) having a thermal protection layer (24) including the steps of: providing a composite component (10) with a primary fibre material (12) and with a primer layer (16) of alternative fibre material overlying the primary fibre material (12) at an area of the composite component intended for high thermal exposure, said area defining a thermal exposure area (18); applying a metallic bonding layer (22) to the primer layer (16) of the thermal exposure area (18) to create a bonding surface at the thermal exposure area (18); and applying a ceramic thermal protection layer (24) to the bonding surface for insulating the thermal exposure area (18) and/or for reflecting external thermal energy, the thermal protection layer (24) having a higher melting point than the metallic bonding layer (22).Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Carbon Revolution LimitedInventors: Stefen Sens, Eden Kwok, Michael Dunbar Silcock, Aaron Brighton, Ashley James Denmead, Nathan Jones, Hugo Howse
