Title: Burton J Price - Innovator in Sound Absorption Technology.

Introduction

Burton J Price is a notable inventor based in Bloomsburg, PA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of sound absorption technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing acoustic performance in automotive applications.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a sound absorptive protective mat. This invention concerns an automotive protective mat, also known as a throw-in mat or protective mat. The mat comprises a microporous stiffening layer, which may be composed of several sheets. The overall air flow resistance of this mat is between 500 Ns/m–4000 Ns/m. It is essential for this mat to be hydrophobic. To achieve enhanced acoustical effectiveness, a decoupling layer is foreseen between the microporous stiffening layer and the vehicle floor. This decoupling layer might be incorporated in the mat or constituted by the underlying carpet or sound absorber of the vehicle floor. Additional layers such as adhesive layers, non-skid layers, face fabrics, or loft layers can also be added to the claimed mat.

Another significant patent by Price is a method for manufacturing a sound insulating structure and the structure produced thereby. This invention provides a sound insulating structure cover panel that complements the sound attenuation material. The method of manufacturing the panel involves providing a laminated blank with an observable interior face from the passenger compartment. The opposite side of the blank has a generally non-permeable polymeric layer adjacent to a primary backing and a secondary backing layer overlying the polymeric layer. The process includes elevating the blank to a desired temperature and positioning it in a closed forming mold. The mold is closed with controlled pressure to expand the blank, conform it to the mold, and render a panel with the desired permeability.
