A vehicle console includes a housing having an interior volume. A console bin is disposed within the interior volume. The console bin is an injection molded member having a base and a plurality of bin walls coupled to the base at living hinges, wherein the plurality of bin walls form an interior surface that extends orthogonally from the base.

A plastic carrier for sealing a mold cavity during the production of a multicomponent plastic part, wherein at least one component flows over a plastic element and the carrier, with the carrier becoming an integral part of the multicomponent plastic part. The carrier has a central region sealing the mold cavity when the plastic element is inserted into the mold cavity, a first main face facing the mold cavity and a second main face facing away from the first main face. The carrier has a peripheral edge extending beyond the central region and the outer circumference of the mold cavity, allowing the at least one component to flow over the first main face of the peripheral edge. The carrier also has a first edge region forming a fold-over projection and a second edge region arranged between the central region and the first edge region for forming a film hinge.

An improved toilet seat including an integral finger tab formed unitarily along with the toilet seat as one unitary member, such that a person can manipulate the toilet seat from a closed horizontal position to an open vertical position and vice versa without having to contact the main area of the toilet seat that surrounds a toilet bowl.

A dispenser (10) for dispensing flowable materials has a container assembly (12) having a dividing wall (19). A first chamber (18) and a second chamber (20) are defined in the container assembly (12). The first chamber (18) is configured to contain a first flowable material (M1) (140) and the second chamber (20) is configured to contain a second flowable material (M2) (142). A membrane (34) is positioned in the container and cooperates with the dividing wall (19) to enclose the first and second chambers (18, 20). The membrane (34) has a first section (132) having a first weld seam (148) and a second section (134) having a second weld seam (150). The first section (132) is separated from the second section (134) by a non-rupturable member (33). Rupture of the membrane (34) allows the flowable materials into a third chamber (42) in which the flowable materials mix to form a mixture, and from which the mixture is dispensed.

A container carrier and manufacturing method therefor are provided. The container carrier may include an integrally molded body with a plurality of annular structures. Each annular structure may have a top surface, a side wall, and a circumferential rib with a plurality of flanges coupled to the circumferential rib. Each flange may include an inwardly projecting portion, and the plurality of flanges may be collectively configured to secure a corresponding container within the annular structure. A first annular structure may be detachably coupled to a second annular structure by a tearable first tab, and a third annular structure may be detachably coupled to a fourth annular structure by a tearable second tab. The container carrier may be configured to separate into a first truncated carrier and a second truncated carrier when tearing operations are performed on both the first tab and second tab.

The present invention relates to subcutaneously implanted graft-port systems, devices and methods for establishing access to the vascular system of a patient requiring multiple blood treatments over an extended period of time. The systems, devices and methods disclosed herein reduce miscannulation, promote intra-session hemostasis, and decrease the incidence of bacteremia and sepsis among other improvements and advantages. The devices include a port with a flattened plateau-like surface for receiving an access tube. The flat surface may include a tactile or visual guide to assist with placement of the access tube into the tapered seat. Optional valve mechanisms reduce the size and form factor of the implantable graft-port device and seals the conduit of the port closed to physiologic pressures until the valve is opened upon percutaneous insertion of the access tube. The access tube does not pass into the conduit. A mismatch fit between the access tube and tapered seat causes a decrease in the cross-sectional sealing area, a reduction in the overall device size, and an increase in blood flow during treatment. Lock solutions to prevent fowling and infection are also disclosed.

A method and device for producing an optimized neck contour on preforms below the neck which is optimal for subsequent stretch blow molding. The geometry has a significantly thinner wall thickness than the neck itself. The preform can only be produced in the injection molding tool, when axial channels are used on the point or the vanes produce the thin points on the preform during injection molding. The thin-walled geometry on the preform can be produced outside of the mold during post-cooling by embossing. The preform is then removed in a cooled receiving sleeve and is cooled in the body by intensive contact cooling while no cooling contact is made with the preform neck due to the initial position of the embossing element. Due to the reheating of the neck they can be mechanically deformed into a new geometry advantageous for blow molding and thus wall thickness can be influenced.

The thermoplastic resin composition contains (A) a polyamide, (B) a polyphenylene ether, and (C) a compatibilizer. When the thermoplastic resin composition is molded into a specimen, a continuous phase containing the polyamide (A) and a dispersed phase containing the polyphenylene ether (B) are formed in the specimen, and E-20 represents a mean ellipticity of the dispersed phase in region I extending from a surface of the hinge portion to a depth of 20 m in the thickness direction, and E-mid represents a mean ellipticity of the dispersed phase in region II extending from a distance, measured along the thickness direction from the surface, equal to 48% of the thickness to a distance, measured along the thickness direction from the surface, equal to 52% of the thickness, the following formula (1) is satisfied:
4.0(E-20)/(E-mid)(1).

A vehicle console includes a housing having an interior volume. A console bin is disposed within the interior volume. The console bin is an injection molded member having a base and a plurality of bin walls coupled to the base at living hinges, wherein the plurality of bin walls form an interior surface that extends orthogonally from the base.
