Abstract: A weatherseal adapted to be installed in a door or window opening includes a spine, a resilient foam core, an intumescent material, and a liner. The spine has first and second ends, the first end adapted for mounting the weatherseal to the door or window opening. The resilient foam core is attached to the spine, proximate the second end of the spine. The intumescent material is arranged proximate the foam core. The liner encloses the flexible foam core and the intumescent material. The weatherseal or a portion may be color-coded to identify the weatherseal for fire rated applications.

Abstract: A new method of making and manufacturing foam weather stripping, using a foam filled profile that is encapsulated with an outer liner and a removable film. The film is precisely introduced to the liner using adjustable guides. Just before the film is introduced to the liner the release liner is striped from the film and carried away using a scrap takeaway system for recycling. The liner and film are then introduced into proprietary tooling where the foam, liner, insert, and film is folded upon itself. After the actual construction of the said profile, it is then inserted into a door or window using a kerf or tape application. After the installation of the weather-stripping in the door or window it can then be painted or finished in a variety of ways. After the finish has dried the film protecting the weather strip can then be pealed away exposing a clean undisturbed weather strip.

Abstract: A generally L-shaped corner seal includes an elongated leg comprising a material having a first hardness and an integral shorter leg comprising a material having a second hardness less than the first hardness.

Abstract: Disclosed is a conductive, flame-retardant polymeric fabric composed of a woven or non-woven nylon, polyester or acrylic fabric. A surface of the fabric is provided with a flame-retardant layer applied by coating the flame-retardant directly onto the fabric surface. Disposed on the flame-retardant layer is a conductive metal applied preferably by vapor deposition. The resulting article not only has a surface resistance of less than one ohm/sq, but also the article has an Underwriter Laboratories very thin material (VTM) vertical bum test rating of zero rendering the article suitable for use as an electromagnetic interference shielding fabric.

Abstract: A conductive electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket having a compressible non-conductive core enwrapped with a conductive sheath. The sheath is a laminate formed by laminating a conductive metal foil at least 0.2 mils thick to a flexible non-conductive substrate, preferably a non porous polyester film.

Abstract: A method for making a conductive gasket for use in apparatus to block the exit or entry of electromagnetic interference (EMI) between adjacent metal surfaces of the apparatus. The gasket is formed at least in part by a polymeric film having an outward facing surface embossed so as to provide a plurality of peaks distributed over the surface. A metal is coated, by vapor deposition, onto the surface so as to over lie the peaks.

Abstract: A conductive gasket for use in apparatus to block the exit or entry of electromagnetic interference (EMI) between adjacent metal surfaces of the apparatus. The gasket is formed at least in part by a polymeric film having an outward facing surface embossed so as to provide a plurality of peaks distributed over the surface. A metal is coated, by vapor deposition, onto the surface so as to over lie the peaks. This provides the film with a conductive surface. When located between adjacent metal surfaces, abrasion of the metal coating from the peaks over time does not adversely affect the conductive properties of the film surface. This is because the wearing away of the metal from the tops of the peaks exposes a cross section of the metal at the sides of the peaks, which remain in contact with the adjacent metal surfaces of the apparatus.

Abstract: A gasket for electrical apparatus and the like, operation of which tends to generate or be adversely affected by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), comprising a compressible, electrically conductive core. It may also comprise a flexible, electrically conductive, and substantially abrasion resistant sheath surrounding the compressible core. The apparatus may be sealed against EMI/RFI leakage, noise emission and environmental infiltration and the like.

Abstract: A molded rubber hanger with a reinforcing belt made from a woven fabric or a continuous yarn. The belt has perforations through which the rubber passes to form a mechanical bond. The perforations may be woven directly into a fabric, or they may be provided after fabrication of the belt.
