An object of the present invention is to produce a double-sided carpet type skin-equipped hollow molded article so as to prevent degradation of aesthetic appearance of the hollow molded article. The double-sided carpet type skin-equipped hollow molded article includes: a hollow molded article main body made of a thermoplastic and having a front surface wall and a back surface wall; and skins integrally bonded to the respective front and back surface walls. A first skin bonded to the front surface wall is a napped-type skin. A second skin bonded to the back surface wall is a skin having a thickness smaller than a thickness of the first skin. A wall surface to which the first skin is bonded protrudes outward more than a wall surface to which the second skin is bonded in a parting line of the hollow molded article main body. The first skin has a large thickness and is a napped-type skin. Therefore, obtained is an effect that a nap raised after deburring and cutting masks a cut portion.

The present invention discloses a silencer for automobile. The silencer is formed by press molding. The silencer has a first molded surface and a second molded surface which are opposite to each other in a thickness direction. The silencer at least includes a first fiber layer on which the first molded surface is formed and a second fiber layer integrated with an opposite surface to the first molded surface, the opposite surface being on the first fiber layer. Fibers of the second fiber layer exist partly on the opposite surface on the first fiber layer.

At the same time it is light weight with the weight lower than that of 22 to 38 kg/m2and is flexible to adopt the shape suitable for the end applications. A method of manufacturing the composite product of the invention is also disclosed.

The invention relates to a process for producing a ballistic-resistant curved molded article said process comprising forming a stack of a plurality of composite sheets, pressing the stack comprising the composite sheets at a temperature of between 80° C. to 150° C. and a pressure of between 10 and 400 bar for at least 5 minutes to obtain a curved molded article, cooling the compacted stack to a temperature below 80° C. while maintaining the pressure above 10 bar, releasing the pressure from the cooled curved molded article; wherein the composite sheets comprise unidirectionally aligned high tenacity polyethylene fibers and a matrix comprising a polyethylene resin being a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene having a density of between 870 to 980 kg/m.sup.3 when measured according to ISO1183 and a melt flow index of between 0.5 and 50 g/10 min when measured according to ASTM 1238B-13 at a temperature of 190° C. and a weight of 21.6 kg.

A surgical implant (10) comprises an areal, flexible, porous basic structure (12) having a first face and a second face. At least one resorbable dyed film piece (20) is attached to the basic structure (12) and comprises a plurality of solid protrusions emerging from the dyed film piece (20) in a direction away from the basic structure (12). The at least one dyed film piece (20) is arranged in a shape structure which is asymmetric (“E”) in the area of the basic structure (12). Optionally, the implant (10) further comprises an adhesion barrier sheet (16).

An apparatus including a co-extrusion device for extruding a multi-layer structure having at least one primary layer and at least one secondary layer, so that the multi-layer structure leaves the co-extrusion device along an exit direction; a mould provided with a pair of elements, at least one of the elements being movable towards the other in a moulding direction, so as to compression mould an object from a multi-layer dose which was severed from the multi-layer structure; a transport device for carrying the dose towards the mould; an arrangement for modifying orientation of the dose while the dose is being transported by the transport device, so that the dose is introduced into the mould with an orientation in which the secondary layer extends transversely to the moulding direction.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a body made of composite material such as a shell of a helmet. Said body constitutes a multilayer structure where each layer is formed by superposed strata comprising portions of fabrics preimpregnated with thermoplastic resin in which at least some of said layers are formed by woven or non-woven LFRTP-type preimpregnated fabrics. The outer layer is formed by strata of portions of “veil” type or “felt” type fabrics, with non-woven and non-oriented fibers of lengths comprised between 5 and 20 mm. In the method, the multilayer structure arranged in a mold is subjected to the action exerted by a bag that is inflated due to pressure occupying the cavity of the mold.

Dual core golf ball constructions achieving consistent and repeatable concentricity by incorporating/using an assembly of dual core components comprising a solid spherical inner core component and three outer core components that are collectively compression molded about the solid spherical inner core component to create an outer core layer thereabout. The three outer core components include a first half-shell, a second half-shell; and a ring-shaped securing plate such that the solid spherical inner core component is immovably centered within the outer core layer. Each of the first half-shell, the ring-shaped securing plate, and the second half-shell is comprised of the same rubber composition(s) and possess strong cohesive and adhesive bonds at parting lines between the three molded assembly parts and collectively create an outer core layer having one or more uniform property profile, such as a hardness gradient throughout, without interruption at parting lines between the three outer core components.

A composite sandwich panel comprises a first composite skin, a second composite skin, a hollow cell core between the first composite skin and the second composite skin, and a first over-crush edge region with a first edge. The first edge has a first thickness at least 40% less than a nominal thickness of the composite sandwich panel. The first over-crush edge region has a length of at least 0.25 inches over which a thickness of the composite sandwich panel decreases.

A multilayer core molding method includes: an upstream process of obtaining an intermediate molded body 33; and a downstream process of performing molding using a downstream process molding apparatus 2, and wherein the downstream process includes: an intermediate molded body arrangement step of arranging the intermediate molded body on the intermediate plate cavity surface or the first downstream process mold cavity surface; and a first vulcanization step, performed after the intermediate molded body arrangement step, of vulcanization-molding the intermediate molded body until it is substantially or completely vulcanized, in a state in which at least the first downstream process mold and the intermediate plate are closed against each other.
