William I. Flanders 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).

  • Patent number: 6777095
    Abstract: A flame retardant, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket construction. The construction includes a resilient core member formed of a foamed elastomeric material, an electrically-conductive fabric member surrounding the outer surface of the core member, and a flame retardant layer coating at least a portion of the interior surface of the fabric member. The flame retardant layer is effective to afford the gasket construction with a flame class rating of V-0 under Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) Standard No. 94.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 17, 2004
    Assignee: Parker-Hannifin Corporation

  • Patent number: 6248393
    Abstract: An flame retardant, electrically-conductive EMI shielding material and method, the material being particularly adapted for use in fabric-over-foam EMI shielding gasket constructions. In construction, a generally planar, porous fabric member is provided as having at least an electrically-conductive first side and a second side defining a thickness dimension therebetween. A curable layer of a fluent, flame retardant composition is applied under a predetermined hydrodynamic pressure and viscosity to at least a portion of the second side of the fabric member. The hydrodynamic pressure and viscosity of the composition are controlled to delimit the penetration of the layer into the fabric member to a depth which is less than the thickness dimension of said fabric member. The layer then is cured to form a flame retardant surface coating on the second side of the fabric member such that the first side of said fabric member remains electrically-conductive.
