Gear Mechanic Co has developed controlled bondingmethods and mathematical simulation methods for three dimensional filament wound composite structures used in mechanical systems. The method provides optimized fiber placement and increased strength of bonding between metal inserts and fiber reinforced plastics for metal/composite power transmission components in different applications.
Snap-on Incorporated has patented a concept of a composite ring gear, which incorporates a metal gear insert bonded into a fiber reinforced composite plastic housing. Invented by Snap-on Incorporated, composite ring gear has been already successfully applied to mechanical engineering area. More specifically Snap-on is producing a gear mechanical system commonly known as ratchet wrench handle, which incorporates Snap-on composite ring gear as the key element of the system.
Internationally patented Composite Structural Members provides slightly different engineering solution for bonding of structural inserts into composite plastic material. If Snap-on invention utilizes oriented and randomly oriented reinforced fibers for constructing the ring gear housing, the Composite Structural Members patent offers a solution for using filament winding material.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
