The present invention relates to a functional fabric, comprising: a substrate layer, said substrate layer including a cloth and a functional layer on said substrate layer, said functional layer including a silica gel masterbatch and anion additives, and having a three-dimensional configuration, wherein said functional layer has a thickness such that said functional fabric is capable of releasing a concentration of 1,000-6,000 anions per cubic centimeter.

A heat-shrinkable polyester film comprising ethylene terephthalate as a main component, containing not less than 0 mol % and not more than 5 mol % of a monomer component capable of serving as an amorphous component relative to the total of a polyester resin component, and having a main shrinkage direction in a lengthwise direction, wherein the heat-shrinkable polyester film satisfies heat shrinkage characteristics of the width direction and the lengthwise direction and the molecular orientation angle difference which is a difference between a molecular orientation angle of an edge of one end in the width direction and a molecular orientation angle of an edge of the other end.

Articles of wear having one or more textiles that include a low processing temperature polymeric composition and a high processing temperature polymeric composition, and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The low processing temperature polymeric composition and the high processing temperature polymeric composition can be selectively incorporated into a textile to provide one or more structural properties and/or other advantageous properties to the article. The textile can be thermoformed to impart such structural and/or other advantageous properties to the article of wear. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

An injection mold for producing a hybrid panel having a decorative material bordered by a thermoplastic resin has laterally outwardly off-set stand-offs on opposed mold halves, which create pinch points that permit bordering the decorative material with the thermoplastic material only at the edges of the decorative material without permitting molten resin to bleed through to the visible class A surface of the decorative material. The resulting panel has an indent separating the front surface of the decorative inner portion from the thermoplastic resin border along an intersection between the decorative material and the thermoplastic resin border, which provides a clean, visually appealing transition between the class A surface of the decorative material and the thermoplastic resin border.

A construct for a hockey blade that includes a foam core. The foam core includes a first core face, a second core face, and a core edge. A first layer of resin preimpregnated tape is wrapped continuously around the first core face, the core edge and the second core face. A thread is placed along the first layer of preimpregnated tape. A second layer of resin preimpregnated tape wrapped continuously around the first layer of resin preimpregnated tape.

The invention relates to a heating apparatus (H) having at least one heating line (24) for the thermal conditioning of preforms (1) made of thermoplastic material to a temperature profile which is suitable for blow shaping, wherein the heating apparatus (H) comprises a transport device for transporting the preforms (1) along a transport path (T) of the heating apparatus (H), said transport device comprising a revolving conveyor chain (F) having a plurality of pivotably interconnected chain links (33), and wherein the transport device comprises handling means (39) for holding and manipulating a single preform (1) each, wherein the transport device is embodied and configured such that the preforms (1) are guided in a single row in at least a first section of the transport path (T), and are guided in two adjacent rows in at least a second section of the transport path (T), and wherein each chain link (33) comprises a bracket (41) on which a first handling means (39) and a second handling means (39) are arranged, and wherein the bracket (41) comprises a main arm (42) and a pivot arm (43), pivotably connected to the main arm (42), and wherein a change between a single-row transport of the preforms (1) and a double-row transport is enabled by pivoting the pivot arm (43).

A method of producing a cover for optionally opening or tightly closing an opening in a vehicle roof, the cover having a sheet and a peripheral overmolding. According to the method, a coating is applied in a region which is later visible and which is to be covered, to a portion on the transparent sheet adjacent to the peripheral overmolding to be applied, and the coating is removed once the peripheral overmolding has been applied.

The invention relates to a container for a pressurized beverage, in particular beer, comprising a casing of a thermoplastic material, a valve part for dispensing the beverage from the container, and an expandable device holding a compressed gas or a gas generating system for expanding the device during or after filling the container to compensate for an increase in the volume of the container resulting from creep in the thermoplastic material.
