Polyolefin Wood Fiber Composite

US Patent:
6680090, Jan 20, 2004
Filed:
Apr 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/824923
Inventors:
Shankar Godavarti - Maplewood MN
Rodney K. Williams - Stacy MN
Michael J. Deaner - Osceola WI
Assignee:
Andersen Corporation - Bayport MN
International Classification:
E04C 226
US Classification:
428 34, 428 357, 428 369, 4282974, 428 52, 4287303, 4287304
Abstract:
A complex profile made of a composite comprising a polyolefin polymer and a wood fiber. The composite is useful in conventional structural applications. The profile can be used in residential and commercial structures. The profile is used in the manufacture of the fenestration components such as windows and doors. The profile is designed with a cross-sectional shape to form structural elements in the fenestration units that possess sufficient strength, thermal stability and weatherability. The member comprises a hollow cross-section with at least one structural web or one fastener web. The profile can have a visible capstock layer and can be assembled using thermal welding processes.

Polyolefin Wood Fiber Composite

US Patent:
6265037, Jul 24, 2001
Filed:
Apr 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/293618
Inventors:
Shankar Godavarti - Maplewood MN
Rodney K. Williams - Stacy MN
Michael J. Deaner - Osceola WI
Assignee:
Andersen Corporation - Bayport MN
International Classification:
E04C 226, E06B 130
US Classification:
428 34
Abstract:
An improved composite structural member comprising a complex profile structural member, made of a composite comprising a polypropylene polymer and a wood fiber. The material is useful in conventional construction applications. The complex profile, in the form of an extruded thermoplastic composite member can be used in residential and commercial structures as described. Preferably, the structural member is used in the manufacture of the fenestration components such as windows and doors. Such linear members are designed with specifically configured cross-sectional shapes to form structural elements in the fenestration units. Structural elements must possess sufficient strength, thermal stability and weatherability to permit the manufacture of a structurally sound window unit that can be easily installed into a rough opening but can maintain its attractive appearance and structural integrity over the life of the window unit often twenty years or more. The structural member comprises a hollow complex cross-section with at least one structural web or one fastener web formed within the component. The exterior of the extruded component has a visible capstock layer and is shaped and adapted for installation in rough openings.

The exterior of the extruded component has a visible capstock layer and is shaped and adapted for installation in rough openings. The exterior also contains shape and components capable of supporting the elements of the fenestration unit such as a window, sash or movable door unit. The improved polypropylene structural members have unique advantages and can be assembled in thermoplastic weld processes.

Melt Molding Polymer Composite And Method Of Making And Using The Same

US Patent:
8487034, Jul 16, 2013
Filed:
Jan 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/355203
Inventors:
Kurt Emil Heikkila - Marine on St. Croix MN, US
John S. Kroll - Blaine MN, US
Rodney K. Williams - Stacy MN, US
Assignee:
Tundra Composites, LLC - White Bear Lake MN
International Classification:
B28B 1/00, C08K 3/10, C08K 3/36, C08K 3/40
US Classification:
524494, 264299, 524492, 524493
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hot melt dispensable polymeric composite and process for making and using the composite. Particulates of adequate particle size are mixed with a polymer that exhibits low viscosities at temperatures typically provided by hot-melt glue guns to form rods that vary significantly in density from the base polymer. Novel articles can be manufactured by dispensing the composite from a glue gun into molds or by placement of the melt molding compound into preformed cavities within an end article.

Reduced Visibility Insect Screen

US Patent:
2007016, Jul 19, 2007
Filed:
Oct 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/539965
Inventors:
Russell Pylkki - St. Paul MN, US
Patrick Gronlund - Star Prairie Township WI, US
Rodney Williams - Stacy MN, US
Kurt Heikkila - Marine on the St. Croix MN, US
International Classification:
E06B 9/24
US Classification:
160371000
Abstract:
A reduced visibility insect screening is described having a transmittance of at least about 0.75 and a reflectance of about 0.04 or less. In an alternative embodiment, an insect screening material includes screen elements having a diameter of about 0.005 inch (0.13 mm), having a bond strength greater than 5500 psi (40 mega Pascals), and having the same transmittance and reflectance limits. In another embodiment of the invention, a screening includes screen elements having a diameter of about 0.005 inch (0.1 mm) or less and a coating on the screen elements having a matte black finish, where the screening has the same transmittance and reflectance limits.
