US Patent:

7506778, Mar 24, 2009

Filed:

Jan 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/032570

Inventors:

Robert A. DaSilva - Lowell MA, US
Jerome P. Fanucci - Lexington MA, US

Assignee:

Kazak Composities, Incorporated - Woburn MA

International Classification:

B65D 21/02
B65D 45/28
B65D 45/16

US Classification:

220 234, 220 2383, 220323, 220324

Abstract:

A modular packaging system of containers each having a generally tubular, hollow container body of a fiber-reinforced composite material with cooperative mating interlocking elements extending axially along its length. The interlocking elements allow the containers to be stacked and palletized in a stable manner. An interface between a closure mechanism and the container body provides a good seal and prevents fraying or brooming of the fiber-reinforced composite material at the end face of the body.

Appl. No.:

11/248000

Inventors:

Robert Dasilva - Lowell MA, US
Jerome Fanucci - Lexington MA, US
Michael McAleenan - Georgetown ME, US

International Classification:

B63B 19/14

US Classification:

11420100R

Abstract:

A hatch or door system for closing an opening in a surrounding structure has a panel assembly having a metal frame enclosing a composite material panel. An operating mechanism is operative in a first stage to hold the panel assembly in the closed position. In a second stage, a discrete-to-continuous latching mechanism of the operating mechanism seals the frame within the opening.

- Boston MA, US
Robert A. DaSilva - Reading MA, US

International Classification:

E01C 9/08

Abstract:

Transportation matting for traversing soft ground surfaces, such as beaches and muddy roads, is provided. The matting is thin, rollable, and lightweight (in some embodiments, about 1 lb/ft) and has a convoluted configuration with alternating peaks and valleys formed from mats of a fiber reinforced polymer composite material. The matting is coilable with a preload by which the matting tends to unroll and lay flat, while retaining relatively high compliance or ease of roll-up when recovered.
