Publication number: 20240066590Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to partial integrated core-shell investment casting molds that can be assembled into complete molds. Each section of the partial mold may contain both a portion of a core and portion of a shell. Each section can then be assembled into a mold for casting of a metal part. The partial integrated core-shell investment casting molds and the complete molds may be provided with filament structures corresponding to cooling hole patterns on the surface of the turbine blade or the stator vane, which provides a leaching pathway for the core portion after metal casting. The invention also relates to core filaments that can be used to supplement the leaching pathway, for example in a core tip portion of the mold.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: James Herbert Deines, Brian David Przeslawski, Michael John McCarren, Gregory Terrence Garay, Douglas Gerard Konitzer, Mark Willard Marusko, Xi Yang, Brian Patrick Peterson

Patent number: 9238401Abstract: A Z-fold convertible top has a frame supporting a textile cover. The frame includes support in the form of at least one of a pair of pivoted rails rigidly mounted to a bow, stabilizing other pivoted rails. The stability may be employed to displace a quarter window with the rail in a manner that provides a compact top stack packaged in the vehicle body. The stability is also employed to coordinate sealing engagement of the quarter window with a cloth control link pivoted to the vehicle body ground, but displacing the cloth away from the window during retraction. A worm link may enhance interaction between the cloth control link and the rail supporting a quarter window.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Magna Car Top Systems of America, Inc.Inventors: Michael Willard, Wolfgang Richter, George F.

Publication number: 20060175368Abstract: A cargo container for a vehicle including an enclosure or movable supporting member that is connected by a linkage to the vehicle. The linkage may be used to shift the enclosure between a transport position above the roof and a loading position behind the vehicle. The linkage has a right side and a left side. Each side has a forward member that translates the front end of the enclosure in the fore-and-aft direction. A rearward pivoting member lifts portions of the enclosure behind the forward member upwardly to clear a rear corner of the vehicle as the enclosure is moved between the transport position and the loading position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2006Publication date: August 10, 2006Applicant: CTS Fahrzeug Dachysteme GmbHInventors: Robert Fallis, Michael Willard

Publication number: 20060022492Abstract: A retractable roof assembly for a vehicle is provided that includes relatively movable rigid panels that are positioned to cover a passenger/cargo compartment of the vehicle in an extended position and that are stacked one above another in a retracted position. A telescoping track is provided on opposite lateral sides of the vehicle to guide movement of the roof panels. D-pillars of the roof assembly are slidable between a position wherein they are spaced from the C-pillars to a retracted position in which the D-pillars are adjacent to the C-pillars. Side windows of the vehicle are retracted into the rear quarter panel area of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Applicant: CTS Fahrzeug Dachsysteme GmbHInventors: Robert Fallis, Michael Willard, Robert Wiechowski
