A method for manufacturing a breast implant includes producing a silicone shell of the breast implant by rotating a mold containing a silicone material to evenly spread the silicone material over an inner surface of the mold. Subsequently, an elastic filler material including silicone foam is formed in the shell by (i) injecting into the mold a mixture comprising silicone gel and gas bubbles and (ii) rotating the mold to homogenize the mixture.

A method for recycling plastic such as plastic toys includes grinding the plastic into plastic pieces, sorting the plastic pieces based on type of plastic, sorting the plastic pieces based on colour, after sorting of the plastic pieces, shredding the sorted plastic pieces into plastic flakes, and processing the plastic flakes into a recycled good by means of rotational moulding. During the rotational moulding, a micronized plastic is added.

A method of and fixture for molding a product with an embedded ring. A system for molding a ring into a product including a rotational molding mold with an opening formed in the rotational molding mold sized to fit a ring. A fixture is removably couplable to the ring, wherein the ring and the fixture when coupled are removably couplable in the opening. The fixture is removed from the ring after the ring is molded into a product. A method of manufacturing a product with an embedded ring includes: coupling a ring to a fixture; clamping the fixture and the ring in an opening in a mold top; clamping the mold top to a mold bottom; rotomolding a product; unclamping the fixture from the mold top; uncoupling the fixture from the ring; unclamping the mold top and the mold bottom; and removing the product from the mold.

A floor maintenance machine includes a clean fluid tank with a discharge funnel running therethrough that forms part of an exhaust pathway for a vacuum source. The vacuum source discharges an exhaust during operation of the machine from the exhaust outlet into the discharge funnel. The exhaust may be gaseous and/or include a liquid component in the case of a machine malfunction if liquid from a recovery chamber is non-ideally drawn into the vacuum source in the case a fail-safe does not work. The discharge funnel can provide a way for the liquid to exit the interior of the machine in such case.

The cycle time of polymer compositions subjected to a rotomolding process is improved (i.e., reduced), while the processing window is simultaneously enlarged through the use of a polymer-stabilizing amount of a processing stabilizer system having at least one chroman-based compound according to Formula V: ##STR00001##

Methods for constructing a building module which is a sandwich panel comprising a first region which provides part of the roof structure of a building, a second region which provides part of the wall structure of building, and a third region which provides part of the floor structure of the building.

A thread forming apparatus for forming threads in a rotational molding apparatus comprising a molding pin having a generally elongate shape, at least a portion of the molding pin having a threaded portion, the molding pin adapted to rotate along with the mold and receive the plastic material on at least the threaded portion, the molding pin being releasable relative to the mold such that once the plastic material coats the threaded portion of the molding pin and forms a threaded portion on the molded product, the molding pin is completely removed from the mold.
