  • Elastically supported wear resistant line guide and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 10349643
    Abstract: The disclosed line guides combine a wear resistant ring with a superelastic, shape memory alloy frame and support to provide a lightweight and durable assembly. The wear resistant ring is constructed of hard material such as ceramic. The wear resistant ring includes a groove or annular depression on the outside surface where the ring and frame meet. The elastic frame is configured to grip the ring, which provides an enhanced mechanical connection between the wear resistant ring and the superelastic frame. The groove also provides a location for the application of adhesive. The frame is exposed around the wear resistant ring and protects the ring from damage during storage, transportation and use. The superelastic alloy frame and support flex to absorb shock and when deformed rebound to their original shape.
