20220371175 · 2022-11-24 · ·

A section of (cured and non-liquid) textured foam includes at least a portion of a foam-upper-surface that substantially resembles a look of a human fingerprint for a purpose of providing enhanced grip traction between the at least the portion of the foam-upper-surface of the textured foam and a hand or a foot of a user of the textured foam. Disposed opposite of the foam-upper-surface of the textured foam may be an adhesive backing for attachment to a diverse variety of exterior surfaces where improved grip traction is desired. Systems and methods for making such textured foam that substantially resembles a look of a human fingerprint may utilize a heating means and a compression means. Such textured foam that resembles the look of a human fingerprint may be located on an upper surface of a vehicle and/or on an exterior surface of a handle to minimize against slippage.

METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY, HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY, SUPPORT FRAME STRUCTURE, AND CHILD CARRIAGE
20220203602 · 2022-06-30 ·

The invention discloses a method of manufacturing a handrail assembly including steps of 1) providing a first material layer and a second material layer, wherein the second material layer is a hot melt material; 2) stacking the second material layer on the first material layer to form a substrate layer with an integrated structure; 3) curling the substrate layer to form a handrail cover matching a handrail tube, wherein the handrail cover is a sleeve structure and the second material layer is located at an inner side of the handrail cover; 4) inserting the handrail tube matching the handrail cover into the handrail cover to form a handrail assembly semi-finished product; 5) baking the handrail assembly semi-finished product until the second material layer is completely melted; and 6) cooling the handrail assembly semi-finished product after baking to form the handrail assembly.

20230322288 · 2023-10-12 ·

A handrail assembly, a manufacturing method for the handrail assembly, a support frame structure having the handrail assembly, and a child carrier. The handrail assembly comprises a handrail body, wherein the handrail body is covered with a first protective layer of a flexible structure, the first protective layer is covered with a second protective layer, the second protective layer shields the first protective layer to prevent the first protective layer from being exposed to the outside. The support frame structure comprises a front support assembly, a rear support assembly, a push rod assembly, a connecting assembly and a handrail assembly, a connecting portion of the handrail assembly being detachably connected to the connecting assembly. The handrail assembly can prevent the first protective layer from being exposed to the outside, and prevent children from accidentally swallowing the filling of the first protective layer, thereby guaranteeing the life safety of children.

Method and apparatus for extrusion of thermoplastic handrail

A method and apparatus for extrusion of an article is provided. A die assembly can apply flows of thermoplastic material to an array of reinforcing cables to form a composite extrusion. A slider fabric can be bonded to one side of the composite extrusion. After exiting the die assembly, the slider fabric can act to support the extrudate as it passes along an elongate mandrel, which can cause the base of the slider fabric to change shape from a flat profile to the final internal profile of the article. The extruded article can then be cooled to solidify the material. The die can include cooling for the slider fabric and means for promoting penetration of the thermoplastic into reinforcing cables.
