Latest Patents

Conaghan holds a patent for a "Wraparound closure device and a method of making same." This invention features an axially compressible, radially expansible tubular member made from a fabric of engineering plastic. The design includes an axially split member that defines a first and a second mating edge. Fastening means are connected to these edges, allowing for selective opening and closing of the member. The fastening means is fixed in length, ensuring that when connected to the tubular member, it also remains fixed in length. However, the tubular member retains its ability to expand and contract radially, adapting to the shape of the substrate it encloses. This innovative approach not only enhances the device's functionality but also simplifies its manufacturing process.
