Appl. No.:

13/021262

Inventors:

Thomas Tam - Chesterfield VA, US
Mark Benjamin Boone - Mechanicsville VA, US
Steven Thomas Correale - Chester VA, US

Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B32B 27/32
B32B 5/26
B32B 27/02
B32B 5/02

US Classification:

428105, 428220, 428156, 428171, 428221, 428 98

Abstract:

Tape articles having improved properties are made from ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) multi-filament yarns. The tape articles can have a ratio of the low temperature area under the curve (120 C. to Tm-onset) to the total area under the curve (120 C. to 165 C.) of less than about 0.15 as calculated from an increasing temperature DSC scan from a temperature of 30 C. to a temperature of 200 C. at a constant rate of 10 C. per minute. Additionally, in some examples the tape articles can also have a tenacity at least about 24 g/d (2.06 GPa) when measured by ASTM D882-09 at a 10 inch (25.4 cm) gauge length and at an extension rate of 100%/min. Further, the tape articles can have no long period of less than 450 Angstroms (Å) when measured by small angle x-ray analysis.

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

D06B 302

US Classification:

68181R

Abstract:

This invention is an apparatus and method of extracting a material from a continuous running length of fiber comprising continuously moving the fiber through a conduit while simultaneously flowing a solvent for the material through the conduit with the conduit having a length and cross sectional area sufficient to facilitate extraction of the desired amount of the material. The flow is preferred to be countercurrent to the movement of the fiber.

International Classification:

A41D 1900

US Classification:

21617

Abstract:

A flexible, uncoated glove made from nonmetallic fabric comprising at least one fiber is disclosed. The glove is characterized by either weighing no more than about 30 g or having a thickness of no more than about 1. 25 mm (0. 05 inch), being cut resistant over some portion thereof by enduring without cutting through at least 5 cycles of an impact cam cut test, having compliance so that the wearer has a high degree of tactility, and having a cut resistance of at least 5 cycles of an impact cam cut test after a disinfectant treatment with sodium hypochlorite. The gloves are particularly useful in the medical field where they provide excellent cut protection and can be disinfected at least once while maintaining an acceptable level of cut resistance. In an alternate embodiment, a similarly characterized glove is made from a layer of fibrous material adhered to a surface of an elastomeric glove without being fully encapsulated thereby. This glove is also particularly useful in the medical field where it provides excellent cut protection.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Mark B. Boone - Richmond VA

Assignee:

Allied-Signal Inc. - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

G01N 356

US Classification:

73159

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for measuring the cut resistance of flexible materials, such as films, fabrics, felts and papers. A flexible material is wrapped around a mandrel that is rotated at a predetermined speed. A cam attached to the rotating mandrel allows a cutting edge, such as a razor blade, to repeatedly fall on the material covering the mandrel. The cutting edge repeatedly contacts the material, in the same location and with the same predetermined force, until the cutting edge penetrates the material and makes electrical contact with the mandrel. When edge-to-mandrel contact is made, the rotation of the mandrel is automatically stopped. The number of rotations (i. e. cutting cycles) required to penetrate the material is noted and used as a measure of the relative cut resistance of the material.
