Package having a plug seal closure
A package including: a container; and a plug seal closure operatively engaged with an open end of the container; wherein the container has; a closed end opposing the open end; a container wall extending longitudinally between the closed end and the open end about a longitudinal axis; an end seam extending at least partially across the closed end; and a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from the end seam, a portion of the overlapping seam extending longitudinally along the container wall between the closed end and the open end; wherein the open end is narrower than at least a portion of the container away from the open end of the container; and wherein the closed end and the container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate.
COMPOSITE SIDEWALL AND CARGO BODY HAVING SAME
A composite molded cargo body panel including a core, an interior skin secured to a first side of the core having a thickness, and exterior skin secured to a second side of the core, and a plurality of recesses. The plurality of recesses are dispersed along a first direction at intervals in the interior skin, with the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses being reduced compared to a maximum core thickness, and each of the plurality of recesses defines a support surface. A pocket is formed in each of the plurality of recesses, with the core thickness at the pocket being less than the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses. A plurality of logistics inserts are attached to the respective support surfaces of the plurality of recesses so that, at each of the plurality of recesses, the logistics insert extends across the pocket.
Reduced density thermoplastics
The instant application discloses, among other things, ways to manufacture reduced density thermoplastics. A rapid foaming process which may create a polymer product by saturating thermoplastic sheet or preforms, heating, and then forming into final shape, is described. The polymer product may include an integral solid skin. This method may be utilized with any thermoplastic. The material handling, saturation methods, and end products are also described.
Powder coated vacuum formed articles
A method of forming a thermoplastic plastic component includes applying an amount of pigmented powder to a sheet of thermoplastic, heating the sheet of thermoplastic to a selected temperature, melting the amount of pigmented powder on the sheet of thermoplastic to form a coating, re-heating the sheet of thermoplastic to another selected temperature, positioning the sheet of thermoplastic over a pattern, and vacuum forming the sheet of thermoplastic to form the sheet of thermoplastic into the pattern.
Method of manufacturing a cargo body panel
A composite molded cargo body panel including a core, an interior skin secured to a first side of the core having a thickness, and exterior skin secured to a second side of the core, and a plurality of recesses. The plurality of recesses are dispersed along a first direction at intervals in the interior skin, with the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses being reduced compared to a maximum core thickness, and each of the plurality of recesses defines a support surface. A pocket is formed in each of the plurality of recesses, with the core thickness at the pocket being less than the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses. A plurality of logistics inserts are attached to the respective support surfaces of the plurality of recesses so that, at each of the plurality of recesses, the logistics insert extends across the pocket.
Dynamic thermoforming of dental appliances
A method includes identifying first geometry of a first mold associated with a first dental arch and a second geometry of a second mold associated with a second dental arch. The method further includes determining, based on the first geometry and the second geometry that the first mold and the second mold are to be used for simultaneous forming of a first dental appliance and a second dental appliance on a plate in a dental appliance manufacturing system. The method further includes causing, based on the first geometry and the second geometry, one or more portions of the dental appliance manufacturing system to be configured to form the first dental appliance and the second dental appliance.
PROTECTIVE CASE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of protective case, in particular to a protective case for electronic device and a method for manufacturing the same. The protective case for electronic device includes an inner shell, an outer shell, and a magnetic interlayer that fits and in contact with the inner shell and the outer shell, wherein: the magnetic interlayer includes an interlayer base material and a magnetic part, the magnetic interlayer is provided with a through installation hole, and the magnetic part is fixedly embedded in the installation hole, the thickness of the magnetic part matches with the depth of the installation hole, the interlayer base material includes a hot-melt base material and reinforcing fiber yarn contained in the hot-melt base material, and the hot-melt base material is filled between the magnetic part and the inner side wall of the installation hole.
Lid for a disposable beverage container including graphic images and method of fabricating same
A lid for a disposable beverage container. A sheet of plastic is passed through an offset printing process to directly print images at multiple discrete locations on the sheet. During printing, registration marks are printed on the sheet. These marks are used to align the sheet correctly for subsequent printing runs in which additional colors are added to the images. The registration marks are also used to correctly position the printed sheet on a mold. Multiple lids are thermoformed into the printed plastic sheet. The registration marks are subsequently used to correctly position the thermoformed printed sheet with a die-cutter to separate the multiple printed and formed lids from the sheet. The images are printed in non-heat sensitive inks as these will resist distortion of the printed images during the thermoforming process. Preferably each image is printed so that it ends up in a depression on the eventually formed lids.
Polycarbonate panel having shallow bends
A panel having a base portion having at least one sidewall extending therefrom, the sidewall extending away from the base portion at a first predetermined angle, the first predetermined angle formed by a die having a second predetermined angle, the second predetermined angle being 1 to 12 degrees smaller as compared to the first predetermined angle so as to overbend the panel during the forming process, the panel relaxing to the first predetermined angle after the panel as entirely cooled after the forming process.
FORMING MOLD
In the present invention, a laser pointer is mounted on an upper mold and formed to mark a position of an auxiliary raw material disposed on a raw material disposed on a lower mold so that everyone can easily accurately arrange the auxiliary raw material at a predetermined position and molds the auxiliary raw material to improve a molding efficiency. In particular, in the present invention, the laser pointer is formed to mark vertex positions of the auxiliary raw material so that an operator can arrange vertexes of the auxiliary raw material at the predetermined position to quickly arrange the auxiliary raw material at the predetermined position and accurately mold the auxiliary raw material. In this case, in the present invention, at least two laser points are mounted along an edge of the upper mold to mark vertices of the auxiliary raw material so that the auxiliary raw material can be more quickly accurately disposed at the predetermined position and integrally molded.
