Patent number: 8763668Abstract: A product sheet of composite material can be made by disposing composite materials of composite material in adjacent (side-by-side) relation with each other. The composite materials comprise fibers in a thermoplastic matrix material. The adjacent composite materials are bonded together to provide a product sheet of composite material. Preferably, a cross ply of composite material is disposed on the composite materials. The cross ply may be a unidirectional sheet and the fibers in the cross ply may be disposed in transverse relation to the fibers in the composite materials.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Polystrand, Inc.Inventors: Edward Pilpel, Benjamin Pilpel

Patent number: 8425820Abstract: A riser for an archery bow is formed from a fibrous composite material, the matrix of which may be a high heat distortion thermoplastic polymer, a very high heat distortion thermoplastic polymer, or a combination thereof. The riser may incorporate a spine formed from a different polymer or composite than the rest of the riser, or from metal. A method for producing a riser for an archery bow includes the steps of introducing a polymeric composite into a mold from a first end of said mold to facilitate a particular orientation of components of said polymeric composite, molding the polymeric composite to produce a billet that approximates a net shape of the riser, and then machining the billet to the final shape of the riser.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2006Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Gordon Composites, Inc.Inventor: Edward Pilpel

Publication number: 20070232168Abstract: A panel had a first face and a second face, including a strike face portion having a first plurality of plies each containing fibers in a matrix material. There is a support portion adjacent to the strike face portion, the support portion containing a second plurality of plies each having fibers in a matrix material. Each ply is bound to an adjacent ply and the first fibers are lower-performing relative to the second fibers. Protection from a ballistic threat may be provided by providing such a panel with the strike face disposed toward the threat. In another aspect, a composite ballistic panel may contain fibers in a thermoplastic matrix material, to the substantial exclusion of thermosetting matrix materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: Polystrand, Inc.Inventors: Edward Pilpel, Richard Holland, Steven Johnson
