Liner having an induction heat sealable layer for sealing to a rim of a container, and a pull tab for ease of removal of the liner from the container rim. An insert is disposed between multilayer upper and lower components, has a heat bondable polyolefin layer that is thermally laminated to polyolefin layers of the upper and lower components, forming a pull tab between the integrated polyolefin layers. The resulting composite resists delamination and can be formed in a single thermal lamination step, avoiding the multiple lamination steps, associated high equipment costs, and complex layer constructions of the prior art.

An apparatus and method for joining pipes includes a plate for melting mating surfaces of the pipes to be joined. Additionally, the apparatus utilizes a vacuum in order to push the first and second pipes together in lieu of hand or mechanical pressure which may be inconsistent. Additionally, the vacuum allows the pipes to be joined to settle on each other in order to create a pressure about a periphery of the end of the pipe being joined to the other pipe. The consistent pressure creates a very strong joint between the first and second pipes.

Methods for machining a composite material substrate are discloses comprising integrating a predetermined pattern area having a disbond material for the purpose of creating a disbond region into the composite material substrate at a predetermined thickness, detecting the disbond region and forming a plurality of recesses in the composite material substrate by removing a machined plug from the composite material substrate to form recesses positioned at locations corresponding to the predetermined pattern area, and composite components comprising the recesses machined according to such methods.

A composite material shell having a base plate made of thermoplastic resin and reinforcing fibers and multiple decorative pieces. Each of the multiple decorative pieces is made of a composite material containing thermoplastic resin and reinforcing fibers. An area of each of the multiple decorative pieces is smaller than an area of the base plate, wherein the multiple decorative pieces are non-directionally arranged, are overlapped, and are welded on the base plate whereby the composite material shell provides unique reflection and depth variations of visual effect.

An anti-graffiti window film covering system that includes multiple polymeric film layers. Each layer includes a unique visual indicia to identify the number of sheets remaining in the system.

A method of forming a composite panel in-line is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming a hot thermal plastic sheet of material and providing the hot thermal plastic sheet of material to a punch having punch members extending outwardly therefrom. The hot thermal plastic sheet of material is advanced through the punch in order to form apertures through the hot thermal plastic sheet of material such that each aperture extends from an outer surface of the hot thermal plastic sheet of material to an inner surface of the hot thermal plastic sheet of material. An outer metal sheet and an inner metal sheet, respectively, are coupled to opposing sides of the hot thermal plastic sheet of material.

The invention concerns a plastic closure part (10) which can be fixed to a container or a further closure part to be fixed to the container, comprising a tubular discharge portion (3) whose cross-section is closed by a membrane (7) which has a tear line (8) extending peripherally over more than 180° along its outer edge and a corresponding method for the production of such a closure. In order to develop a closure part having the features set forth in the opening part of this specification and a method for the production thereof to the effect that the problems occurring upon injection moulding due to narrow flow passages are eliminated it is provided according to the invention that the tear line (8) is formed by a cut introduced into the material of the membrane (7) with a cutting or punching tool.

The invention relates to a transport device (10) for piece goods, comprising a base part (14) which has a base plate (16) and side walls (18) which are elevated from the base plate (16) and are circumferential, the side walls (18) delimiting a placement surface of the base plate (16), a number of first compartments (22), wherein each of the first compartments (22) has circumferential walls (24) which each have a lower edge on the placement surface, an intermediate base (26) which bears on the first compartments (22) and has a downwardly projecting edge (28), which surrounds the first compartments (22) at upper edges (24b) of their circumferential walls (24), and an upwardly pointing further placement surface (30), a number of second compartments (32), wherein each of the second compartments (32) has circumferential walls (34) which each have a lower edge (34a) on the further placement surface (30), and wherein the first and second compartments (22, 32) are foldable for the purpose of volume reduction. The intermediate base (26) has two base parts (44, 46) which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, have each a part (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30) and are pivotable relative to one another about a pivot axis (48) up to a contact of the parts (50, 52) of the further placement surface (30), wherein each of the base parts (44, 46) has a rectangular or square contour, one side (56, 58) of which is shorter than both sides of the placement surface and the other side (60, 62) of which is shorter than at least one of the sides of the placement surface.

In one example, a structure is provided that includes a plastic body having a unitary, single-piece construction. The plastic body further includes a substantially hollow interior, and a parting line that extends around a portion of the perimeter of the structure. The structure also includes a solid compression molded element that is integral with the plastic body. The solid compression molded element is configured and arranged such that the parting line is not connected to the solid compression molded element.
