A load bearing panel member having a first portion, a second portion, and an appearance surface portion is formed by injection molding such that the first portion includes a plurality of ribs forming a grid pattern on the first portion and another plurality of ribs extending toward the periphery of the first portion which may be non-orthogonal to each other and to the ribs forming the grid pattern. An internal channel may be formed within each of the non-orthogonal ribs by injecting a gas into the rib during the molding process forming the panel. An appearance surface portion attached to the first portion and second portion of the panel member forms an integral hinge between the first and second portions of the panel member. The panel member may be configured as a floor panel of a vehicle.

The invention relates to a device (10) for the at least partial removal of the outside circumferential surface of a pipe consisting of plastic, comprising a hollow cylindrical housing (12), with a wall that surrounds a cylindrical interior space that accommodates the body in an axially moveable manner, at least one opening in the wall as well as a cutting element (74) that is associated with the opening (62) and with its cutting section projects into the interior space. To be able to remove the outside circumferential surface of the pipe in an unproblematic manner and to the desired degree, it is suggested that the cutting element (74) in a front view exhibit a disc or ring geometry and be connected to the housing (12) by a fastening element that extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cutting element, whereby the cutting element can be connected to the housing in the desired position by rotating it about its longitudinal axis.
