Latest Patents
Hinz's latest patents include a helical spring and a process for producing it. This invention aims to enhance the strength of a helical spring made from thermosetting plastic, incorporating reinforcing fibers that are strategically embedded at an angle of approximately ±45 degrees to the spring wire's longitudinal axis. The fibers are arranged as a fabric wound helically around the wire, with the warp and woof threads positioned at a 45-degree angle. Additionally, he has developed a valve spring retainer and a process for its production. This invention focuses on adjusting the fiber orientation of a valve spring retainer made from carbon fiber reinforced synthetic material to withstand operational stresses. It involves stacking several carbon fiber tissue layers and creating a conical opening that runs vertically through these layers, ensuring that the weft and warp threads are displaced appropriately.
