Patent number: 7954536Abstract: A seaming system for forming a seam is disclosed, wherein the seam consists of at least two opposed sections of high-modulus, high-tenacity, low-elongation fabric sections joined by a tape. The system comprises a seamer head, and a seamer base that includes a topography configured to impart a predetermined pressure gradient to the adhesive layer, tape, and fabric sections of the seam. The resultant seam has a cross-section or thickness profile that generally corresponds to that of the applied pressure gradient. As such, the constructed seam more efficiently distributes stress imparted from any applied load.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: John F. Brewer, Dhiraj H. Darjee, David R. Dingler

Publication number: 20100227984Abstract: Rigid-rod polymer fiber filaments, such as poly (p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO), having improved retention of physical properties are prepared by preparing a polymer solution and extruding that solution to form a filament, and then treating that filament with water, base solution, and water. The treated filament may be further heat-treated, or further treated with water. The treated filaments are less susceptible to the degradation caused by heat, humidity, and UV radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2009Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Thuy DANG, Paul E.

Patent number: 5637386Abstract: A coated abrasive suitable for fining operations on contoured surfaces is obtained by depositing an abrasive/bond mixture in a discontinuous pattern on the surface of a backing that is stretchable in such a fashion that the finished product remains stretchable.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1995Date of Patent: June 10, 1997Assignee: Norton CompanyInventor: Dhiraj H. Darjee

Patent number: 5577956Abstract: A coated abrasive suitable for conditioning a freshly cast metal surface comprises a backing having a cyclic elongation at a temperature of 150.degree. C. of less than 3%.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1995Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignee: Norton CompanyInventor: Dhiraj H. Darjee

Patent number: 5456975Abstract: This invention relates to the construction of backings for coated abrasive products that avoid curling tendencies during adhesive curing and subsequent steps. Curling of the backing is discouraged by the utilization of at least one finishing material carried by said fabric which comprises the product of a reaction between an unsaturated hexafunctional acrylated urethane oligomer component and an unsaturated carboxyfunctional monomer component. These components are caused to react with one another to form cross linking when exposed to actinic or electron beam radiation.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1991Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Norton CompanyInventors: Eugene Zador, Dhiraj H. Darjee, Stanley J. Supkis

Patent number: 5286541Abstract: Coated abrasive material having a combination backing member. The combination backing member has as a bottom member a conventional backing member substrate used in the manufacture of coated abrasive material such as cylinder paper coated with a polymeric layer. The polymer layer provides a relatively smooth surface for application of the maker coat during manufacture of the coated abrasive material. The coated abrasive member can be used in diverse applications such as the fine finishing of particle board and offhand grinding of automobile body seams.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1992Date of Patent: February 15, 1994Assignee: Norton CompanyInventors: Dhiraj H.

Patent number: 4725487Abstract: Flexible coated abrasives with facile straight tear in either the length or cross directions can be made on stitch bonded fabric backings having (1) an aral density between 51 and 153 gm/m.sup.2, (2) a tensile strength in the length direction between 5.4 and 12.6 kN/m of width, (3) a tensile strength in the cross direction which is between 5.4 and 11.7 kN/m of length and is between 0.9 and 1.35 times as great as the length direction tensile strength, (4) an elongation to break in the length direction of not more than 40%, and (5) an elongation to break in the cross direction of not more than 35%. The fabric is prepared for coating by saturation with at least its own weight of a finishing adhesive composed primarily of latices of acrylic homopolymers, acrylic copolymers, butadienestyrene polymers, or mixtures of these types.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1986Date of Patent: February 16, 1988Assignee: Norton CompanyInventors: Raymond E.

Patent number: 4722203Abstract: Stitch bonded fabrics were found to be suitable substrates for coated abrasives when the fabric has a strength in the warp direction of at least 30 dekanewtons (daN) per centimeter (cm) of width, a fill yarn cover factor of at least 40%, and stitch yarns with a tensile strength of at least 0.5 daN. For substitution of the established commercial classes of abrasives known as X and Y weights, the fabrics are preferably made on a Malimo machine, with 14-22 warp yarns of 840-1300 denier high tenacity multifilament polyester or glass per 25 cm of fabric width, at least 64 fill yarns of staple or texturized multifilament polyester per 25 cm of fabric length, and stitch yarns of 70-140 denier high tenacity multifilament polyester.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1986Date of Patent: February 2, 1988Assignee: Norton CompanyInventor: Dhiraj H. Darjee

Patent number: 4584227Abstract: Tape or patch material for making joints which have good tensile strength includes a reinforcing array of yarns arranged within a narrow range of angles around the direction of application of probable stress on the joint. The distribution of yarns angles within a small range rather than exactly parallel to each other gives the joint greater splitting resistance with very little loss in strength, and it permits toleration of less precise alignment of tape when the joint is made.The patch material is particularly useful for joining coated abrasives into endless belts. For such joints, it has long been known that better results are achieved if the joint makes an angle other than perpendicular with the edges of the belt.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1984Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Assignee: Norton CompanyInventors: Dhiraj H.
