Filed:

Mar 4, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/073366

Inventors:

Matthew Vacek - Brownsville MN, US
Richard George - Holmen WI, US

Assignee:

Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc. - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

A63B 59/06

US Classification:

473567

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for manufacturing a bat having an exterior and a hollow interior. The method consists of successive steps of placing a first layer of filament onto a rotating mandrel while simultaneously applying resin to the first layer; winding additional layers of filament around the first layer without resin; and vacuum transfer molding additional resin onto the filament layers so that the additional resin impregnates these layers. The apparatus consists of a mandrel; a mandrel holder allowing rotation of the mandrel; a resin applicator adjacent the mandrel of the same length as the mandrel; a filament winder for winding filament onto the mandrel; and a vacuum transfer molding apparatus. A bat made by this method is also disclosed. The present invention also relates to a resin bath to apply resin to a line of filament.

International Classification:

B60C 2706

US Classification:

152213A

Abstract:

A traction cable is provided for use on a vehicle tire to increase traction in snow and ice. The traction cable comprises a pair of elongated flexible side members having first and second ends, a plurality of flexible cross members interconnecting the side members, a transverse connector mechanism for transversely connecting the ends of the cross members to the side members, and a releasable connector mechanism for releasably connecting the first and second ends of each of the side members. The cross members have ends and each of the cross members includes a cable having a plurality of traction elements slidably and rotatably mounted thereon. Each of the traction elements define a plurality of edges. The releasable connector mechanism includes first and second metal stampings which are preferably identical, a metal ring, and a flexible strap having first and second ends. A metal stamping is also provided which may be deformed in different manners into one of at least two configuration, each configuration contributing to the releasable connector mechanism.

Filed:

May 15, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/883525

Inventors:

Richard A. George - Winona MN

Assignee:

Peerless Chain Company - Winona MN

International Classification:

B65D 8300

US Classification:

206525

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a container with a chain retaining opening. The container includes a side wall which defines an enclosed chamber for receiving a length of chain. An opening provides access to the enclosed chamber from an exterior of the container. The opening is sized to permit the free passage of the chain from the enclosed chamber to dispense the chain from the container. The opening includes structure for retaining the chain from free passage from the enclosed chamber when dispensing of the chain is not desired. The retaining structure includes at least one narrowed passage which defines a cross-sectional opening smaller than the widest part of the chain and larger than the smallest portion of the chain. When the chain is positioned in the narrowed passage, the chain cannot be dispensed from the container. A sloped surface provides a gravity feed from the opening to the narrowed passage.
