US Patent:

6347575, Feb 19, 2002

Filed:

Jun 30, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/345100

Inventors:

Benjamin V. Booher - Scottsdale AZ 85260

International Classification:

F16J 104

US Classification:

92208, 277434, 277435, 277447, 277491

Abstract:

A piston and compression ring combination with a piston having a generally cylindrical configuration for mounting in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, an annular groove adjacent the top of the piston; and a piston ring having an upper inwardly directed flange adapted to rest on top of the piston, the ring having a lower inwardly retaining foot adapted for fitting into the ring groove in the piston. Such combination for the purpose of diminishing ring crevice volume, improving performance and reducing engine emissions.

Abstract:

A composite friction unit of a three dimensional composite body is formed of a substantially uniform array of predominately glass strands of primary reinforcing fibers in matrix of phenolic resin material, the reinforcing fibers in the form of fabric distributed throughout the body forming a friction unit having a predetermined size and configuration and uniform distribution and alignment of fibers throughout. An alternate friction unit includes a substantially rigid backing co-pultruded in forming the unit. The units are produced in a pultrusion process wherein the reinforcing fibers and matrix are pulled through a forming die.

International Classification:

F41H 5/04
F41H 5/06

US Classification:

89 3602, 109 495

Abstract:

A lightweight and highly effective armor in which engineered ballistic broad goods are encased in exacting alignment within a specialized housing, composed of a polymeric composite, which is simultaneously formed around the dry broad goods by a pultrusion manufacturing process. The product finds use as protective armoring for vehicles, personal armor, siding and roofing for existing structures, and structural panels for construction of ballistic resistant structures.
