Filed:

Aug 2, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/630774

Inventors:

Scott Watanabe - Ketchum ID
Donald Edward Wright - Hailey ID

Assignee:

Scott USA, Inc. - Sun Valley ID

International Classification:

A61F 902

US Classification:

2438

Abstract:

A motorcycle goggle includes a supply magazine and a take-up magazine mounted to opposite sides of a goggle frame and contain a transparent film which moves across the outer surface of a main lens to protect the main lens from mud or external matter. The main lens includes a plurality of projections attached to the lens to raise the transparent film off the main lens surface. The projections can be formed by transparent ink droplets which are printed by a silk screen process onto the outer surface of the main lens, and consist in one form of two types of ink forming each raised ink droplet.

Abstract:

A wind tunnel blade ( ) connected to a base ( ) and held in position by a two-piece cuff ( ). The wind tunnel blade ( ) is formed in a resin transfer molding process in which central, fore, and aft foam core sections ( ) are placed together to form the wind tunnel blade ( ). Radius fillers ( ) are used to fill the gaps between the outer edge of the foam core sections. The radius fillers ( ) used in the wind tunnel blade ( ) are formed by a braided sleeve ( ) surrounding a number of unidirectional tows ( ). A tip ( ) is formed separately from the rest of the wind tunnel blade ( ) and is glued to the top thereof. Stacked layers of braided fibers ( ) are used to reinforce the central core section ( ).

Abstract:

A wind tunnel blade (30) connected to a base (32) and held in position by a two-piece cuff (34). The wind tunnel blade (30) is formed in a resin transfer molding process in which central, fore, and aft foam core sections (70, 72, 74) are placed together to form the wind tunnel blade (30). Radius fillers (120) are used to fill the gaps between the outer edge of the foam core sections. The radius fillers (120) used in the wind tunnel blade (30) are formed by a braided sleeve (122) surrounding a number of unidirectional tows (124). A tip (68) is formed separately from the rest of the wind tunnel blade (30) and is glued to the top thereof Stacked layers of braided fibers (100) are used to reinforce the central core section (70).

International Classification:

B29C 70/44
B29C 70/54

Abstract:

A composite part, such as a stiffener is formed in place. A composite charge is placed on a tool spanning a mold cavity, with the centerline of the charge offset from the centerline of the mold cavity. Opposite sides of the charge are held against the tool as the charge is formed into the mold cavity. One side of the charge is held against movement on the tool while the other side of the charge is allowed to slip over the tool toward the mold cavity.
