Fred H. West has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Electrolytic capacitors with pressure-relief and metal electrode structure retaining means
    Patent number: 4010406
    Abstract: The disclosed electrolytic capacitors have an end-seal and a terminal at an end of a case containing an electrolytic capacitor section. A metal-disc barrier between the electrode assembly and the end-seal is retained in the case by a formation of the case for preventing expulsion of the electrode assembly upon occurrence of an internal pressure great enough to blow the end-seal out of its case-sealing position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 8, 1975
    Date of Patent: March 1, 1977
    Assignee: Cornell-Dubilier Electric Corporation
    Inventors: Fred H. West, Edward L. Bowling
  • Electrolytic capacitors with pressure-relief and electrode structure retaining means
    Patent number: 4010405
    Abstract: The disclosed electrolytic capacitors have an end-seal and a terminal at an end of a case containing an electrolytic capacitor section. The case has an inward projecting formation for obstructing a means inward of the end seal acting as a barrier for preventing expulsion of the capacitor section in the event of an internal pressure rise great enough to blow the end-seal out of its sealing position.
