  • Melt molding polymer composite and method of making and using the same
    Patent number: 8487034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hot melt dispensable polymeric composite and process for making and using the composite. Particulates of adequate particle size are mixed with a polymer that exhibits low viscosities at temperatures typically provided by hot-melt glue guns to form rods that vary significantly in density from the base polymer. Novel articles can be manufactured by dispensing the composite from a glue gun into molds or by placement of the melt molding compound into preformed cavities within an end article.

  • Fishing Lure Having Variable Density Materials
    Publication number: 20100175305
    Abstract: A fishing lure and method of making a fishing lure. The fishing lure having a body constructed of at least two different materials. One of the materials having a density that is at least two times greater than the other material. The method including depositing the two materials within a mold cavity such that the resulting fishing lure body has a particular center of gravity.
