A sealing strand for producing a seal by connection of the sealing thread with a strand seat that extends along a gap to be sealed, wherein the sealing strand has a tape region provided for bonding to the strand seat. During stretching of the sealing strand in the longitudinal direction of the strand, the tensile stress corresponding to the stretching in the tape region is at least partly compensated or capable of being compensated. This is achieved by the strand region being connected under compression with the remaining sealing strand.

A method for manufacturing a shoe sole with multi-material spikes includes: providing a spike-forming mold which includes an upper mold and a lower mold, wherein the lower mold includes a first filling hole which is in communication with the first spike cavity, different materials are placed in the first spike cavity to form the multi-material spike; providing a first mold which includes a second spike cavity; providing a second mold which includes a second filling hole; assembling the first and second molds, together to form a sole cavity, wherein the multi-material spike is placed into the sole cavity, a sole material is filled into the sole cavity through the second filling hole, and then the multi-material spike and the sole material are adhered to each other by hot melting; and opening the first and second molds, and obtaining a shoe sole with the multi-material spike.

A method in accordance with the present invention manufactures a tire with a biaxial monolayer belt component (MBC). The method comprises the steps of: winding a cord continuously about a first drum according to a pre-defined pattern to create a mesh of cords defining a single belt/overlay structure; adjusting the structure to a predetermined position on the first drum by laser lights; applying a tread component to the structure; transferring the structure and tread component to a second drum; applying the structure and tread component to a carcass component on the second drum; reducing pressure of the carcass component by a predetermined amount; and stitching the structure and tread component to the carcass component.

Provided is a structure in which an inserted article is easily inserted and a product is easily released from a die after molding. The structure includes a positioning mechanism which is vertically arranged on one split die, includes a positioning pin having a tapered distal end, and positions the inserted article by engaging the inserted article with the positioning pin, a stop mechanism that has a spring means assembled with the one split die and a stopper portion held by the spring means, and temporarily stops movement of the other split die when the other split die comes into contact with the stopper portion at the time of mold clamping, and a pressing mechanism that has a spring assembled with the other split die, a pusher pin, a spring assembled with the one split die, and a pusher pin, and elastically presses the inserted article by the pusher pin.

An adhesive composition having two distinct reaction mechanisms, a first being the reaction between a tri-functional isocyanate and an active hydrogen compound and a second begin the free radical initiation of an acrylic monomer. This adhesive develops tack strength through the first reaction allowing two substrates to remain in position relative to one another while the free radical cure of the acrylic monomer takes place to fully bond the substrates together, for example when adhering a rubber liner to the inside of a metallic tank.

A reinforced foam block features a body of foam material forming a main body having a volume enclosed by at least one peripheral face. At least one body of reinforcing material, being more pressure resistant than the foam material before incurring permanent shape change and forming a sheet, is embedded in the body of foam material so as to be carried by the body of foam material in prescribed position within the main body. The respective body of reinforcing material provides strength to the main body against force applied to the main body in a direction transversely with respect to the prescribed surface area of the respective body of reinforcing material.

A sealing strand for producing a seal by connection of the sealing thread with a strand seat that extends along a gap to be sealed, wherein the sealing strand has a tape region provided for bonding to the strand seat. During stretching of the sealing strand in the longitudinal direction of the strand, the tensile stress corresponding to the stretching in the tape region is at least partly compensated or capable of being compensated.

An airless tire has a cylindrical tread ring 2 having a ground-contacting surface 21, a hub disposed on the radially inside of the tread ring 2 and fixed to an wheel shaft, and spokes connecting between the tread ring 2 and the hub. The tread ring 2 has a side wall 22 continued from the ground-contacting surface 21 and forming a ring side surface. The side wall 22 has a supporting portion 23 which, when the tread ring 2 alone is horizontally laid on a horizontal surface H, contacts with a horizontal surface H and supports the tread ring 2 so that a ring axis A2 is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal surface H.

The present invention disclosures microwave molded articles, including molded articles having portions with different hardness; molded articles having sharp flanges; molded articles having portions with different colors; molded articles with designed pattern; molded articles made of plastic particles with hollow tubes; molded articles made of plastic and rubber particles composition; molded articles made of plastic particles in combination of pre-molded rubber blocks; a molded article made of plastic particles in combination of textile; and a molded article made of non-spherical type plastic particles. The manufacturing methods for the above molded articles are also provided.

A foamable composition for preparing foamed thermoplastic polyurethane, and microwave molded articles thereof are provided. The foamable composition comprises non-foamed thermoplastic polyurethane particles and a foaming agent, wherein the non-foamed thermoplastic polyurethane particles have a viscosity between 10,000 poise and 40,000 poise measured at 170 C. according to JISK 7311 test method.
