  • Patent number: 11938389
    Abstract: A game bag device may include a body having a first body sidewall and a second body sidewall. The first and second body sidewalls may be coupled together to form a body cavity. One or more core structures may be coupled to the body, and each core structure may define a core cavity. A core filler may be disposed withing the core cavity. A body filler may be disposed within the body cavity. Optionally, the device may include a core structure that may be positioned within a core cavity and/or a core structure that may be positioned external to a core cavity. Optionally, a core structure may include an aperture and may be coupled to the body sidewalls within a core cavity so that the device may include an aperture cavity that may include an aperture filler.

  • Publication number: 20060177628
    Abstract: A composite strip having a polymeric body embedding a carrier assembly is provided, wherein the composite strip can be formed into a vehicle flange engaging strip such as a weatherstrip or trim strip. The carrier assembly includes a serpentine frame and a warp interlaced with the frame to form at least one frame-warp aperture. A fused powder bonds to at least one of the serpentine frame and the warp and inhibits movement of the warp relative to the frame, substantially preserving the frame-warp aperture. A polymeric body at least partially embeds the serpentine frame, the warp and the fused powder.

  • Patent number: 5733392
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for carrying out a method whereby parts are treated in a fluidized bed created within an enclosure that provides for movement of air generally upwardly through the enclosure, and where the parts are passed through the fluidized bed in such a fashion as to present the entire surface of the part to be treated to the particles of the fluidized bed as a result of causing the parts to be treated to follow a circuit within the bed, and wherein the parts are further rotated each on its own axis during said path of travel through the bed.
