Patent number: 11458661Abstract: A method and assembly for forming a multi-shot panel for a vehicle including the steps of providing a mold and forming therein a main body of the panel from a first rigid material, the step of forming the main body further including forming a multi-sided recess. The rigid material is transferred to a second reconfiguration of the mold for forming thereupon at least one second softer material. The panel is then transferred to a third reconfiguration of the mold for forming the heat deflecting shield. Alternative, a two shot injection molded panel can be removed from the mold and a previously formed heat deflecting shield can be attached along edges of the main body defining the multi-sided recess. In either variant, locking features are designed into the interface geometry between the heat deflecting shield and rigid main body.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: U.S. Farathane CorporationInventors: Wayne Bland, Gregory Paul Barthlow

Publication number: 20220009346Abstract: A vehicle mounted fuel filler pocket and hingedly attachable door assembly, having a housing with an upper rim edge defining a pocket shaped body to which is communicated a fuel filler tube. A door overlays the upper rim edge in a closed position. A hinge bracket secures to an underside location of the door at a first end, the hinge bracket having a widthwise extending pin at a second end which is pivotally supported within circular capture recesses defined in a subset area of the pocket shaped body to permit the door to be pivoted from the upper rim edge to an open position. A detent cam mechanism is provided for biasing the door at each of the closed and open positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: Wayne Bland, Jonathon Dewey

Patent number: 11203138Abstract: A process and assembly for incorporating a molded automotive fluid dispensing and manifold distribution system into an injection molded panel, including the steps of providing a mold and forming in a first injection molded shot a thermoplastic panel of a first material, opening the mold and positioning against a surface of the panel a previously produced manifold distribution system including at least a main manifold section and at least one branching section communicating with a nozzle outlet and reclosing the mold and subsequently forming in a second injection molded shot a second softer thermoplastic material in order to bond the manifold system to the first show panel. Other steps include forming the manifold distribution system in a secondary cavity with the first shot panel, following which a pick-and-place robot aligns the panel and manifold prior to the shot of softer material.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: U.S. Farathane CorporationInventor: Wayne Bland

Patent number: 10900938Abstract: Valves, pumps, detectors, sample loops, fraction collectors and the like are individually incorporated into modules that are mountable at individual mounting sites on a base unit which also supports one or more chromatography columns. Each module includes fluid connections to other modules and a microcontroller joining the module to a computed and monitor through an electronic connector at each mounting site. The fluid connections between the modules and the column(s) are removed from the electronic connections and accessible to the user. A software platform may recognize the modules and their locations, coordinate fluid connections between the modules, and provide a variety of control, monitoring, data generating and data processing functions to generate chromatographic data. The software platform may also provide graphical tools for designing chromatographic methods from a library of phases.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Robert Iovanni, Alec Gordon, Bob Avarbock, Wayne Bland, Glenn Price, Ken Baker, Farah Mavandadi, Christof Schultz

Publication number: 20200223112Abstract: A compression molding technique, assembly and method for producing an acoustic/environmental sealing component, such as for use in a vehicle pillar. A two part mold defines a negative impression cavity of the completed part and within which is deposited a compounded and expandable resin as any of loose beads, granules or a syrup. The resin is heated within the mold to a temperature below that necessary for it activation/expansion, concurrent with being compression formed. A pre-formed rigid substrate not limited to a nylon is incorporated into the mold and against which is compression formed the resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Inventors: John Klinkman, Jonathon Dewey, Wayne Bland
