Latest Patents
Watanabe's latest patents include a composite member comprising a metallic sheet bent to be arcuate in section. This invention involves a length composite member that consists of a metallic sheet and a rigid synthetic resin coating, which is bent to be arcuate in transversal section. The thickness of the metallic sheet is extremely small compared to the radius of curvature of the desired arcuate sectional curve. A plurality of small arcuate sectional bent portions are formed and distributed in the width direction of the metallic sheet. The centers of curvature of these bent portions are selected to exist on the same side as that of the center of curvature of the composite member. The metallic sheet is generally bent in advance and both main surfaces are coated with a rigid synthetic resin, which is significantly thicker than the metallic sheet itself.
