  • Patent number: 4933040
    Abstract: A vacuum-tight, nonmetallic hollow article is fabricated from composite material of fibers in a resin matrix. The article has a closed end, and is laid up from sheets of the composite material and end pieces to form the closed end. The layers are mechanically worked and debulked repeatedly during layup between the addition of successive layers, to remove irregularities that can cause vacuum leaks. The joints between the sheets applied to the sidewalls and the end pieces are mechanically worked to effect a vacuum-tight seal, and the joints are staggered as between succeeding layers for strength and integrity. The laid up and debulked piece is finally cured.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4773952
    Abstract: A vacuum-tight nonmetallic Dewar component is fabricated from composite material of nonmagnetic fibers in a resin matrix. The component is cylindrical with a closed end, and is laid up from sheets of the composite material and circles cut from the sheets to form the closed end. The layers are mechanically worked and debulked repeatedly during layup between the addition of successive layers, to remove irregularities that can cause vacuum leaks. The joints between the sheets applied to the cylindrical surface and the circular end pieces are mechanically worked to effect a vacuum-tight seal, and the joints are staggered as between succeeding layers for strength and integrity. The laid up and debulked piece is finally cured.
