20210339491 · 2021-11-04 · ·

A manufacturing method of a high-pressure tank includes a step of forming a first reinforcing body involving cooling a first resin-impregnated fiber bundle fed from a fiber bundle feeding device and having a first temperature to a second temperature lower than the first temperature and winding the cooled first resin-impregnated fiber bundle around a mandrel or a liner. The first resin-impregnated fiber bundle includes fine particles that contain an acrylic resin or a butadiene resin as a main component. A high-pressure tank including the liner that houses gas and the first reinforcing body that covers an outer surface of the liner is manufactured.

A MOULDING METHOD FOR MAKING A MONOLITHIC COMPONENT INTERNALLY PROVIDED WITH AT LEAST ONE CAVITY INSIDE
20230311374 · 2023-10-05 ·

A molding method for making a monolithic component made of C-SMC and internally including a cavity, including preparing a press including first and second half molds and movable side carriages defining a molding space, and placing a core inside the molding space. The core comprises a membrane, delimiting a containing space shaped to form the cavity, and at least one connector engaged with the membrane. The method includes wrapping a charge of material to be molded around the core, fixing the core inside one between the first and the second half molds, and filling the containing space of the membrane with a filling material. After closing the half molds, applying a molding pressure and then emptying the containing space of the filling material and, after opening the half molds, removing the core from the molded monolithic component.

The vehicle fluid storage device a storage container in which a storage space for fluid is formed and an opening is formed on one side or both sides, and an assembly including a connector disposed adjacent to the opening and forming a path through which the fluid flows into and out of the storage space, and a holder disposed between the storage container and the connector to connect the storage container and the connector, in which the storage container and the holder are coupled to each other by rotation melting.

Method and apparatus for creating a kneeler pad using a thermoforming process

The present invention is a system and method for manufacturing a framework for a padded cushion in the shape of a kneeler pad, wherein the framework is created using a thermoforming process to make rigid and plastic top and bottom shells that are then coupled together to form a framework to which upholstery is added to thereby form a padded kneeling cushion, wherein a fabric tightening system is also installed in the framework that enables the upholstery to be stretched tighter over the framework in order to tighten the upholstery around the cushion as the upholstery loses its shape and stretches over time, and wherein a system is provided to extend a length of the kneeler pads through the addition of expansion segments in the framework.

20230150721 · 2023-05-18 · ·

A can to contain a liquid and/or a gas is closed with a bottom element and a cover element. The innermost layer is a straight-wound barrier layer having a folded seam extending in a longitudinal direction. The barrier layer includes an inner diffusion-tight layer and an outer kraft paper layer. At least two further straight-wound layers made of paper or cardboard are around the barrier layer of the can shell. Adjoining cardboard or paper surfaces of the barrier layer and a next wound layer are adhered directly to each other. Each of the two further wound layers is longitudinally wound and include in the longitudinal direction an overlapping region with itself. The overlapping region of the next wound layer adjoining the barrier layer is offset relative to the folded seam of the barrier layer and the overlapping regions of the two further wound layers are located at different peripheral regions.

Shape memory manufacturing for vessels

A method of manufacturing a cured vessel is disclosed herein. The method comprises wrapping a first bladder in a first composite laminate, wrapping a second bladder in a second composite laminate. The method further comprises joining the first composite laminate and the second composite laminate by wrapping them both in a third composite laminate to form an un-cured vessel. The un-cured vessel is cured by heating the uncured vessel and pressurizing the bladder while the uncured vessel is in a vessel mold.

Tamper-Resistant and Tamper-Evident Containers

A transparent, plastic, one-piece, tamper-resistant/evident container includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion having an upper peripheral rim. A tamper-evident hinge joins the cover portion with the base portion. The hinge includes a frangible section. When the container is closed, the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion abuts the upper peripheral rim of the base portion and the upper peripheral rim of the base portion extends beyond an outer edge of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion and deters opening the container.

Fuel tank for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motorcycle, and method for producing a fuel tank

A fuel tank for a motor vehicle, a method for producing the fuel tank, and a single-track motor vehicle including the fuel tank, where the fuel tank includes at least two parts that are joined together where the parts delimit a receiving chamber for receiving a fuel. At least one of the two parts is produced by a co-injection moulding process.

Free-standing blister pack

A free-standing blister pack made by heating molding plastic material, film or sheet, creating a container portion of a fixed space, storing a product such as cosmetic, fragrance, or homecare products in the space, and having a cover sheet attached to a flange of the container portion so as to create a sealing function. The blister packaging has a support structure to hold the blister upright after the removal of the perforation and score feature allowing the product to remain in a free-standing position after assembly.
