Richard C. Mudge has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Plastic net composed of co-extruded composite strands
    Patent number: 4755247
    Abstract: An improved plastic net product and its method of manufacture. Intersecting strands of plastic are extruded to form a net structure. Each strand is comprised of a plastic core of a first polymer sandwiched between layers of another polymer, all of which are co-extruded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 1986
    Date of Patent: July 5, 1988
    Inventor: Richard C. Mudge
  • Multiple-layer reinforced laminate
    Patent number: 4661389
    Abstract: Laminated sheet product reinforced with composite heat sealable plastic strands and process for preparation thereof.

  • Co-extruded fusible net
    Patent number: 4410587
    Abstract: An improved method of manufacturing fusible net products and the products resulting therefrom are disclosed. Low-melt-strength polymers are extruded with a stable high-melt-strength polymer to form a composite net structure having a carrier net layer of the stable high-melt-strength polymer carrying a net layer of similar structure and of the low-melt-strength polymer. After the molten layers are quenched and solidified the net layer on the carrier is easily delaminated. The net layer can be removed anytime after the material ceases to be tacky and may be conveniently stored as a composite if desired. The carrier polymer net is available for sale directly as is or it may be oriented or ground and recycled to again form the carrier. The low-melt-strength polymer may be sandwiched between outer layers of high-melt-strength polymer or the low-melt-strength polymer may be carried on both sides of the high-melt-strength polymer.
