  • Patent number: 9796118
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of an extruded expandable barrier, and various processes and systems for manufacturing the same. Using various extrusion processes to form an extruded expandable barrier allows for a reduction in tooling costs while also allowing more flexible barrier designs. Such designs can be specifically tailored for a particular cavity or cavities to ensure that the barrier fills the cavity after expansion. In addition, design changes can occur with little to no tooling changes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2017
    Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AG
    Inventors: Larry J. LaNore, Nicolo Amico
  • Patent number: 9010829
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of expandable barriers. Expandable barriers are typically barriers made from an expandable material and formed to fit within a cavity. After being placed inside a cavity, expandable barriers generally undergo an activation process, where the expandable barrier expands to fill the cavity and create a physical barrier. Using various extrusion processes to form an expandable barrier allows for a reduction in tooling costs, while also allowing more flexible barrier designs. Such designs can be specifically tailored for a particular cavity or cavities to ensure that the barrier fills the cavity after expansion.

  • Patent number: 5236240
    Abstract: A sun visor assembly includes a grommet and a pin which will secure the grommet to a vehicular headliner. The grommet has a hollow head which receives a cylindrical plastic spring. A pin is used with the grommet to compress the spring to generate increased frictional forces with the pin which pass through the spring to hold the pin and the sun visor rod which is secured thereto in any desired position.
