Patent number: 9073732Abstract: A two-piece grab arm housing for a grapple mechanism useable on a grapple attachment is described. The grab arm housing includes a lower arm housing with grab arms mounted to the lower arm housing, and an upper arm housing mounted to the lower arm housing. The upper arm housing and the lower arm housing are movable relative to one another in an x-direction and are moveable together in a y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. In addition, the upper arm housing includes an opening through which a main beam of the grapple attachment can extend.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: LAVALLEY INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jason LaValley, Daniel L.

Publication number: 20090320998Abstract: In general the disclosure relates to manufacturing methods for producing conductive patterns on flexible substrates. For example, a layer of a metal powder composition is deposited onto an adhesive overlaying a substrate. Pressure is applied to the metal powder composition on the adhesive coated substrate web by a die having one or more projections, in order to reproduce a pattern on the substrate. The metal powder is compressed by the projections of the die, thereby densifying the powder and causing it to adhere to the adhesive in a reproduction of the die pattern. The metal powder does not adhere substantially in uncompressed regions, and may be removed. In this manner, a metal powder composition may be densified and adhered to a substrate forming a web of flexible circuit elements, for example, circuit elements such as antennas, resistors, capacitors, inductive coils, conduction pads and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Terry S. Nees, Thanh-Huong T. Do, Steven C. Hackett, Matthew J. Michel, Katherine A. Brown

Publication number: 20080138598Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus and methods for producing co-extruded composite webs including a continuous layer of an extruded matrix material, and a multiplicity of included phases embedded in the continuous layer. The included phases are surrounded by the matrix material to form a single-layer composite web within a feed block having an internal die body. The included phases are separate from each other by being discontinuous in the cross-web direction, but the included phases may be substantially continuous in the down-web direction. In some exemplary embodiments, the co-extruded single-layer composite web may be used in a single-layer or multi-layer article. In other exemplary embodiments, the single-layer co-extruded composite web may be in the form of a sheet, a film, a blown film, a filament, a fiber, a tube, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Inventors: Matthew J. Michel, Jay M. Jennen, Laurence E. Schwanz, David L. Vall
