Wayne Shaw 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).

  • Method of reinforcing fiber mat for building insulation
    Publication number: 20050066691
    Abstract: Reinforced fiber insulation is formed by depositing a mixture of textile fiber segments and rotary and/or flame attenuated segments on a surface, mixing a binder with the fibers, and heating the binder to join the fibers together. The low cost process provides a mixed fiber insulation product with improved strength after compression.

  • Liquid sorbent material
    Publication number: 20040180598
    Abstract: A liquid sorbent material is made from a blend of fibrous component and plastic-containing bonding fibers. The fibrous component may be inorganic fibers, such as, scrap or virgin rotary fibers, organic fibers, or both. The plastic-containing bonding fibers may be bi-component thermoplastic polymer fibers, mono-component thermoplastic polymer fibers, thermoplastic-coated mineral fibers, or a combination thereof.

  • Insulation containing separate layers of textile fibers and of rotary and/or flame attenuated fibers
    Publication number: 20040180599
    Abstract: A fiber insulation product for use as, e.g., a ductliner, includes at least one textile fiber layer laminated with at least one rotary and/or flame attenuated fiber layer. The fiber laminate provides improved thermal and acoustic insulation and excellent strength, at a low production cost.

  • System and method for blowing loose-fill insulation
    Patent number: 6732960
    Abstract: A system for blowing loose-fill insulation includes a loose-fill blowing machine including a discharge hose. An ionizer is disposed in the flow path of the insulation through the discharge hose, wherein the ionizer reduces the static charge developed on the insulation prior to discharge thereof. A method of reducing static charge developed on loose-fill insulation during blowing is also provided and includes the step of ionizing the insulation in the flow path of the insulation while the insulation is being discharged to reduce the static charge.
    Type: Grant
