Latest Patents
One of Jonathan's notable patents is the Bend Stiffener. This invention features an elongate stiffener body made from polymer material, which includes two ends. A passage extends through the stiffener body from end to end, allowing it to receive and embrace a flexible member. The design ensures that the stiffener body is flexible enough to curve with the flexible member under bending loads, while also being sufficiently stiff to prevent excessive curvature that could damage the flexible member. Additionally, the stiffener body is resilient, allowing it to recover its original shape after deformation. The invention includes at least two stiffener body parts that define the passage, each equipped with interface members made from material that is stiffer than the polymer material of the stiffener body. A securing arrangement is employed to hold the interface members of different stiffener body parts together around the elongate flexible member. This innovative design has the potential to improve the performance and longevity of flexible members in various applications.
