US Patent:

45852154, Apr 29, 1986

Filed:

Mar 21, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/592031

Inventors:

James H. Kramer - Akron OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

F16F 924

US Classification:

267124

Abstract:

A rubber plastic composite cylinder that has a cylindrical hollow elastomeric body bonded internally to a shaft and its external surface bonded to a cylindrical sleeve of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene which includes the bonding as by vulcanization two outer shells of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene to the elastomeric cylinder to place the elastomeric cylinder in compression. Such composite cylinder may be spaced along a shaft or utilized effectively as a coaxial shear spring or as conveyor rollers.

Appl. No.:

6/564615

Inventors:

James H. Kramer - Akron OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

B32B 702

US Classification:

428213

Abstract:

A composite (10) which presents a layer (20) of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene as the wear resistant surface. The polyethylene layer (20) is secured to a metallic backing plate (12) by virtue of an elastomeric layer (13) that is interposed between the metallic backing plate (12) and the polyethylene layer (20) and is bonded to each without the polyethylene and the metallic backing plate being otherwise bonded to each other. This configuration provides a means by which to mount a wear resistant polyethylene layer from a metallic backing plate and at the same time accommodate the difference between the disparate coefficients of expansion of polyethylene and metal. The composite (10) can be readily formed by placing a layer of uncured elastomer (13) on the prepared surface (11) of a metallic backing plate (12), spreading an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder (15) over the uncured elastomer and heating the thus assembled components, preferably under pressure, to cure the elastomer and melt the polyethylene powder. When cooled, and the melted powder (15) coalesces into polyethylene layer (20), the resulting wear resistant composite can be formed by conventional cold working processes into desired configurations.

Filed:

Jan 25, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/342447

Inventors:

James H. Kramer - Akron OH
Roy L. Orndorff - Kent OH
James M. Stephens - Grandview MO

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - New York NY

International Classification:

F16L 1700
F16L 2712

US Classification:

285 95

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to slip joint means for use in connecting pairs of axially spaced risers in an off-shore multi-line riser system that conveys petroleum from a collection point on the ocean floor to a floating buoy for delivery to tankers. The slip joint permits considerable latitude in the movement of the riser system yet assuring leak proof joints at the points of movement by providing elastic seals that facilitate motion between conveying conduits.

Inventors:

James H. Kramer - Akron OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - New York NY

International Classification:

F16M 100

US Classification:

428 67

Abstract:

A laminated vibration isolation pad comprising first or top rigid layer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material, a second layer of vulcanized elastomeric material with an additional third or bottom layer of spaced resilient vulcanized elastomeric projections. The laminated vibration isolation pad is fabricated as a unitary structure with the polyethylene layer bonded or fused to the rubber layer while being formed.

Appl. No.:

5/874100

Inventors:

James H. Kramer - Akron OH

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

E02B 304
F16C 1106

US Classification:

405 26

Abstract:

An interconnecting device for use with a plurality of spaced floating breakwater columns comprising a plurality of spaced spherical elements wherein each element is encompassed by a pair of flanged hemispherical plate members. A hollow rubber spherical member is secured to the interior surface of the hemispherical plate members and abuttingly engages the spherical element. A pair of plate members interconnect the flanged hemispherical plate members to provide an integral assembly unit with the rubber element providing resiliency. Each spherical element has an outwardly projecting hub that is flanged to permit its attachment to the breakwater columns.

Assignee:

The B. F. Goodrich Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

F16D 300

US Classification:

403223

Abstract:

A replaceable torsion type spring assembly or unit having a resilient elastomeric tubular member with one end of such tubular member secured to a stationary member and the other end of such tubular member secured to a member that has force applied thereto for rotating such last member. A hollow tubular member is loosely journaled internally of the resilient elastomeric tubular member to provide support to the spring assembly.
