Title: Valentin Roger Claude Fleury: Innovator in Composite Material Technology
Introduction
Valentin Roger Claude Fleury is an inventor based in Romans-sur-Isère, France. He is known for his innovative work in the field of composite materials, particularly in the design of rolling bearing cages. Although he currently holds no granted patents, his contributions to the field are noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications
Fleury's latest patent applications include two significant innovations. The first is titled "LOW NOISE COMPOSITE MATERIAL ROLLING BEARING CAGE AND ASSOCIATED ROLLING BEARING UNIT." This application describes a low noise composite material rolling bearing cage formed by a method that includes providing an annular body with a plurality of through openings, each configured to receive a rolling body. The annular body comprises epoxy resin and a plurality of embedded and superimposed layers of continuous reinforcing fibers. The epoxy resin has a glass transition temperature greater than or equal to 90° C., and the annular body undergoes a burr-removing tumbling operation.
The second application is for a "COMPOSITE MATERIAL ROLLING-ELEMENT BEARING CAGE AND ASSOCIATED ROLLING-ELEMENT BEARING UNIT." This invention features a composite material rolling-element bearing cage that includes a plurality of pockets, each designed to freely house a rolling element body. The cage is made of a fiber-reinforced synthetic plastic material, which includes multiple superimposed layers of reinforcing fibers embedded in the synthetic plastic material. The design incorporates specific angles between the pockets and the reinforcing fibers to enhance performance.
Conclusion
Valentin Roger Claude Fleury is an innovative inventor whose work in composite materials has the potential to impact the engineering and manufacturing sectors significantly. His latest patent applications reflect a commitment to advancing technology in rolling bearing systems.
