A firearm holster and a method of making the firearm holster is disclosed. The firearm is wholly or partially molded of ballistic material in such a way that a bullet that is discharged into the holster is retained within the holster or deflected so that it doesn't cause damage to the user of the firearm or other persons or property.

A method for assembling a box structure includes elementary parts assembled along an understructure of stiffeners and skins. The understructure and skins are made of composite material with a polymer matrix. The method includes sizing the box structure for the loads to which it is subjected and for a glued assembly. A map of the loads on the structure is obtained and a first load limit is defined depending on the probability of the structure being damaged. The understructure and the skins are assembled by gluing them. An additional layer is applied that covers the assembled elementary parts to areas of the assembled box structure where the first load limit is reached.

A module mount having at least one module that can be mounted on the module mount, wherein the module can be mounted on the module mount via at least one caulking element, such that the respective caulking element, which is composed of a thermoplastic, extends through a hole in a section of the respective module that can be mounted on the module mount made of a thermoplastic or thermoset, and is hot-caulked at an end projecting out of the hole, wherein at least one projection is formed on the section of the respective module that can be mounted on the module mount in the region of the respective hole of the section of the respective module that can be mounted on the module mount made of the thermoplastic or thermoset, which projection is engaged in a press fit with the hot-caulked end of the respective caulking element.

A method of manufacturing a custom sized plastic tote lighter in weight than heretofore known custom sized plastic totes is provided. The method comprises separating an injection molded tote into upper and lower portions by cutting the injection molded tote. A sleeve or middle portion of plastic material is secured to the upper and lower portions of the injection molded tote to create a custom sized plastic tote of a desired height. Alternatively, portions of different injection molded totes may be used to create a custom sized plastic tote. The sleeve may be made from different materials and may be made of multiple pieces.

A method for forming a double-sided loop strap includes: receiving a continuous longitudinal strip of loop material including a strip-form base bearing a field of upstanding loops on a fastening side of the strip bounded by opposite longitudinal edges, folding each of the longitudinal edges away from the fastening side, such that the base overlaps itself, and securing the folded edges in place by permanently bonding together overlapped areas of the base to form the double-sided loop strap.

The present disclosure sets out a contact welding tool having at least one heating element for contacting a workpiece and at least one heat source for heating the heating element, at least one heat source being an infrared radiation source emitting infrared radiation in the short-wave infrared range. The present disclosure also sets out a method for operating a contact welding tool wherein a heating element of the contact welding tool is heated by means of short-wave infrared radiation and then the heating element is brought into contact with a workpiece to be reshaped. The present contact welding tool and method can be used particularly advantageously for heat staking, for example of plastic rivets.

A method and apparatus for securing a zipper closure to polymeric film using minimal tension on the zipper closure includes providing first and second tension control loops, an eyemark detector, and a hole punch programmed to punch a hole in the zipper closure upon detection of the eyemark. The zipper closure and the film are supplied to a sealing station at the same speed, and the hole zipper closure is aligned with the eyemark on the film, to result in sealing the strip of zipper closure to the film resulting in minimal wrinkles to the resulting bag.
