Molding Apparatus And Related Methods

US Patent:
7785095, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Oct 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/258808
Inventors:
William P. Clune - Hillsborough NH, US
Shawn C. Banker - Lee NH, US
Ernesto S. Tachauer - Clinton IA, US
Assignee:
Velcro Industries B.V. - Curacao
International Classification:
B29C 59/04
US Classification:
425363, 425122
Abstract:
The invention relates to molding systems and related methods. In one aspect of the invention, a molding apparatus includes a first cylindrical roll that is rotatably coupled to a frame and an adjacent pressure device, the frame is configured so that a substrate can pass through a nip formed between the first cylindrical roll and the pressure device while a portion of the substrate extends laterally beyond at least the frame and the first cylindrical roll.

Forming Fastening Projections On Rigid Substrates

US Patent:
7794559, Sep 14, 2010
Filed:
May 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/748427
Inventors:
Shawn C. Banker - Lee NH, US
Ernesto S. Tachauer - Center IA, US
William P. Clune - Hillsborough NH, US
Assignee:
Velcro Industries B.V. - Curacao
International Classification:
B32B 3/10
US Classification:
156245, 264166
Abstract:
Rigid substrates having molded fastener projections, and methods of making the same are disclosed. A substrate has a beam stiffness, measured as a product of an overall moment of inertia of a nominal transverse cross-section and an effective modulus of elasticity of a material from which the substrate is made, that is greater than about 200 lb-in(0. 574 N-m). In situ lamination of hook, bands or islands on surfaces of a rigid substrate held in a planar orientation or presenting a planar surface.

Hook And Loop Fastening

US Patent:
2002002, Feb 21, 2002
Filed:
Mar 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/808395
Inventors:
K. Krantz - Amherst NH, US
Howard Kingsford - Amherst NH, US
Martin Jacobs - Bedford NH, US
William Shepard - Amherst NH, US
William Clune - Concord NH, US
Paul Erickson - New Boston NH, US
John Boucher - Manchester NH, US
Clinton Dowd - Goffstown NH, US
Shawn Banker - Lee NH, US
International Classification:
B32B003/06
B29C039/20
US Classification:
428/100000, 442/327000, 264/166000, 264/167000, 264/171130, 264/289300, 425/363000
Abstract:
Fastenings, including stretchy or flexible “zebra-like” and “leopard-like” appearing materials, are disclosed having spaced bands or a distribution islands of molded loop-engageable hooks or molded pre-forms for hooks, between which are bands or regions of different character. Molding is by rigid molds filled from the base region of the stems. In embodiments, linear bands or islands of fastener elements are themselves inextensible in the direction of their extent and comprise multiple rows of fastener elements. For ease of forming a uniform, elastically stretchy or flexible product, the bands or islands of fastener elements extend in the machine direction during manufacture. Embodiments shown employ a widthwise continuous carrier of uniform character to which multiple spaced bands or islands of hooks have their molded stems in situ bonded, and in other embodiments, over-lapping margins of the bases of hook bands are in situ laminated to surface structure of adjacent bands of carrier using a laminating nip in which one of the rolls is a mold roll. For a preferred mode of manufacture of an elastically stretchy product, stretchy carrier material is stretchy only in the widthwise (cross-machine) direction. In composite hook and loop fastener products, the bands or regions of material between adjacent bands or islands of hooks comprise loop-engageable material, that is uniform in construction widthwise, the loop-forming material itself being an elastically stretchable or a flexible component. In useful product categories, the hook bands or islands and intervening regions of material have importantly different width ranges. Novel elastically stretchable and flexible loop-defining materials, and their methods of manufacture are shown. In situ lamination of hook, bands or islands on surfaces of materials held in a planar orientation or presenting a planar surface are also shown, flexible materials on tenter frames and rigid materials.

Fastening With Wide Fastening Membrane

US Patent:
2003007, Apr 17, 2003
Filed:
Oct 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/278254
Inventors:
Ernesto Tachauer - Bedford NH, US
Ronald Provencher - Manchester NH, US
Shawn Banker - Lee NH, US
George Provost - Litchfield NH, US
International Classification:
E04B002/00
E04B005/00
E04B009/00
E04B001/00
E04G021/00
E04G023/00
US Classification:
052/745210, 052/747100, 052/746110, 052/506050
Abstract:
A method of releasably fastening objects together includes providing a first object with a continuous hook fastener membrane having a base of thermoplastic resin and an array of hook fastener elements formed contiguously with resin of one side of the base; and releasably engaging complementary loop fastener elements of a second object to the fastener elements of the first object. The base of the fastener membrane is an wide and thin, permanently stretched membrane of resin. The membrane is useful for roofing, siding, insulating, flooring, ceiling installation and wall coverings, for example.

Appl. No.:
9/259182
Inventors:
Stephen C. Jens - Winchester MA
Andrew C. Harvey - Waltham MA
Gilbert G. Fryklund - Winchester MA
Scott M. Filion - Newmarket NH
Samuel W. Pollard - Durham NH
Keith G. Buzzell - North Waterloo ME
Shawn C. Banker - Lee NH

Christopher M. Gallant - Nottingham NH
James W. Babineau - Newton MA
Martin I. Jacobs - Bedford NH
Assignee:
Velcro Industries B.V. - Curacao
International Classification:
B29C 4102
US Classification:
264220
Abstract:
A method for producing a multiplicity of fastener element molding cavities extending from a mold surface, for molding a plastic product having fastener elements integrally molded with and extending from a product base, and a mold so produced. The mold cavities are formed by depositing multiple layers of plating material on a workpiece in a predetermined pattern selected to produce a desired mold cavity shape, or by depositing a thick stratum of plating material over an array of fastener elements and then removing the fastener elements to leave shaped cavities within the plating material. The mold may be in the form of a roll or belt for continuous processing, or in any form for discrete injection molding. Molds having fastener element cavities defined by rigid cast materials are also disclosed.

Assignee:
Velcro Industries B.V.
International Classification:
B29C 3338
US Classification:
425363
Abstract:
A method for producing a multiplicity of miniature cavities extending from a mold surface for molding a plastic product having features integrally molded with and extending from a product base, and a mold so produced. The mold cavities are formed by depositing multiple layers of plating material on a workpiece in a predetermined pattern selected to produce a desired mold cavity shape. The mold may be in the form of a roll or belt for continuous processing, or in any form for discrete injection molding. The invention is particularly applicable to the production of touch fastener products, such as those with arrays of miniature hooks.
