Appl. No.:

7/883675

Inventors:

Ronald S. Bauer - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

H01R 3308

US Classification:

362133

Abstract:

A lamp assembly which utilizes as a source of light an elongated illumination tube. This tube is fixedly mounted within a carrier housing with this housing being pivotably mounted between a pair of mounting brackets which are utilized to fixedly mount the lamp assembly at any desired location on an exterior object.

Abstract:

A process for preparing thermoset composite articles under relatively mild conditions includes exposing a laminate containing a partially-cured thermosettable resin and a fibrous substrate to an elevated temperature which increases over time, the elevated temperature being below the glass transition temperature of the resin but sufficient to promote further curing and increase the glass transition temperature thereof to the ultimate glass transition temperature of the resin. The temperature of exposure is generally increased at a rate which maintains the temperature within about 20. degree. C. below the glass transition temperature of the thermoset-table resin, so that cure of the resin proceeds in the glassy state. The pressure during the process is generally maintained below about 50 psi and is preferably atmospheric pressure. The process enables the production of thermoset composite articles suitable for high-performance applications without lengthy autoclave treatments.
