A cooler including a container comprising a linear low-density polyethylene and a glow-in-the-dark additive, a lid comprising the linear low-density polyethylene and the glow-in-the-dark additive and coupleable to the container, each of the container and the lid including an insulation layer, and the glow-in-the-dark additive emitting light when exposed to an external electromagnetic radiation source. A method includes rotomolding a cooler comprising a linear low-density polyethylene polymer and a glow-in-the-dark additive. A method of using a cooler comprising a linear low-density polyethylene polymer and a glow-in-the-dark additive includes exposing the cooler to an external electromagnetic radiation source and removing the cooler from the source, and illuminating the surrounding area with the cooler.

A portable molding system is configured for forming insulation on pipes. A set of transportable process modules are configured to be shipped to a molding site, operatively connected together at the molding site to form a site-installed molding system, and subsequently disconnected for transport to another site. The set of transportable process modules includes one or more resin preparation modules configured to prepare resin for being formed into insulation on the pipes. One or more mold modules are configured to define a mold cavity. The one or more mold modules are configured to hold a pipe in the mold cavity, to receive resin prepared by the one or more resin preparation modules in the mold cavity around the pipe, and to form said resin received in the mold cavity into insulation on the pipe.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for manufacturing a composite component. The apparatus includes a mold onto which the composite component is formed. The mold is disposed within a grid defined by a first axis and a second axis. The apparatus further includes a first frame assembly disposed above the mold, and a plurality of machine heads coupled to the first frame assembly within the grid in an adjacent arrangement along the first axis. At least one of the mold or the plurality of machine heads is moveable along the first axis, the second axis, or both. At least one of the machine heads of the plurality of machine heads is moveable independently of one another along a third axis.

A resin parts coupling structure includes first and second resin members, e.g., parts of a motorcycle body. The first member includes a first projected portion projected inwardly from a flat surface portion of the vehicle body. The second member includes a second projected portion engaged with and thereby coupled to the first projected portion. The first projected portion includes a hollow space formed between an inside surface of the first projected portion and the flat surface portion, an engagement hole communicating between the hollow space and the flat surface portion, and a first receiving portion disposed away from the engagement hole. The second projected portion includes a second receiving portion which contacts the first receiving portion, and a claw portion which extends outwardly of the second receiving portion and securely engages the engagement hole.
