Inflatable Structure And Method Of Manufacture

View page
US Patent:
7156787, Jan 2, 2007
Filed:
Dec 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/744239
Inventors:
Michael Kemery - Portland OR, US
Tobin Nathaniel Guild - Beaverton OR, US
Zvi Rapaport - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Nike, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
A63B 26/00
US Classification:
482140, 482907, 482 91
Abstract:
An inflatable structure includes a first side of a first material and a second side of a second material different from the first material. A sidewall connects the first and second sides, and a seam extends around the sidewall joining first and second portions of the sidewall. The first and second portions are secured to one another by thermoforming, and an inflation valve is positioned in the sidewall. The inflatable structure may be formed by heating the first and second sheets of material to a temperature above their glass transition temperature and below their melting point, compressing the first and second sheets of material together in a mold having an opposed pair of cavities such that the valve extends through the seal and is in fluid communication with an interior and exterior of the inflatable structure, and trimming excess material from the periphery of the inflatable structure.

Fluid-Filled Chambers With Foam Tensile Members And Methods For Manufacturing The Chambers

US Patent:
7588654, Sep 15, 2009
Filed:
Aug 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/837874
Inventors:
Eric S. Schindler - Portland OR, US
Zvi Rapaport - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Nike, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:

US Classification:
156147, 15624425, 15624427, 1563084, 156156, 36 29, 36 30 A, 36 35 B, 4283135, 4283193, 264241
Abstract:
A fluid-filled chamber may include an outer barrier formed from a polymer material and a foam tensile member located within the outer barrier. In manufacturing the fluid-filled chamber, a mold may be contoured to substantially equalize compressive forces between the outer barrier and various portions of the tensile member, thereby providing substantially uniform bonding between the outer barrier and the tensile member. Surfaces of the tensile member may also be contoured to substantially equalize compressive forces. In some configurations, the outer barrier and tensile member may be formed from thermoplastic polymer materials that form a direct bond between the outer barrier and surfaces of tensile member.

Elizabeth Langvin - Sherwood OR, US
Zvi Rapaport - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
NIKE, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
B32B 37/10
US Classification:
156358, 156285, 156382

US Patent:
8182379, May 22, 2012
Filed:
Jun 27, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/147874
Inventors:
Zvi Rapaport - Portland OR, US
Vincent F. White - Beaverton OR, US
Geoffrey C. Raynak - Portland OR, US
Mark McNamee - Portland OR, US

US Classification:
473603, 473607, 156217, 156267, 83 55
Abstract:
A sport ball may include a casing, an intermediate layer, and a bladder. In manufacturing the sport ball, a panel element of the casing and the bladder may be located in a mold, and a polymer foam material of the intermediate layer may be injected into an area between the bladder and the panel element. In addition, edges of panel element may be heatbonded to each other to join the panel elements and form seams of the casing.
