Patent number: 10220800Abstract: An insulation element for insulating a structural element in a vehicle includes a support element having a first surface and a second surface and an expandable material, which is arranged at least on partial areas of the first surface of the support element. The support element has at least one penetration and the expandable material projects through the penetration and forms a protrusion on one side of the second surface of the support element. The protrusion is dimensioned and the expandable material designed in such a way that the protrusion has a larger cross section after expansion than a cross section of the penetration.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventor: Nicolas Brichet

Patent number: 9611638Abstract: The invention relates to an insulation element, in particular for the acoustic insulation of an opening and/or of a cavity in a vehicle or building, having a carrier element and an expendable material. The carrier element has a plurality of through-holes, wherein only one surface of the carrier element is covered at least partially with expandable material, and the expandable material at least partially fills the through-holes. The invention relates furthermore to an insulation element produced therefrom, the use of the same and a method for the acoustic insulation and/or reinforcement of an opening or a cavity in a land, air or water vehicle or in a building.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Vincent Belpaire, Guillaume Lecroart, Nicolas Brichet, Lionel Gilot

Patent number: 9216774Abstract: A reinforcement includes a material layer disposed on a carrier that includes integrally formed support features, such as ribs, holes, pins, or a combination thereof, and/or a connector pin that deforms to secure the material layer to the carrier. The support features reduce the weak interface between the material layer and the carrier by improving bonding of the material layer to the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Sika Technology AGInventors: Vincent Belpaire, Nicolas Brichet
