A molded panel resembling a natural wickerwork panel, a furniture article comprising such a panel and a method for its manufacture, the panel comprising a plurality of warp strands and a plurality of weft strands interlacing the warp strands, such that at locations where warp and weft strands intersect they form together an integrated, solid molded material location.

A blow-molded plastic structure may include an inwardly extending portion with an undercut. The inwardly extending portion may be disposed in an outer surface of the blow-molded plastic structure and the undercut may be disposed in the inwardly extending portion. The structure may be formed by placing a tool in a mold, forming a parison of molten plastic, disposing the parison of molten plastic in the mold, closing the mold around the parison of molten plastic, inflating the parison, and creating an inwardly extending portion with an undercut with the tool during the blow-molding process. The tool used to create the undercut in a blow-molded plastic structure may include a base, one or more guides, and one or more fingers movable relative to the base between a molding position and a release position. The fingers may include an elongated body and an outwardly extending portion.

The present invention relates to the use of a polycarbonate composition comprising an aromatic polycarbonate manufactured by an interfacial process and having a melt volume rate (MVR) of from 1-10 cm.sup.3/10 min (ISO 1133, 300 C., 1.2 kg), from 0.01 wt. % to 0.30 wt. % based on the weight of the polycarbonate composition, of an epoxy additive having at least two epoxy groups per molecule, and from 0.01 wt. % to 0.30 wt. % based on the weight of the polycarbonate composition, of a phenolic diphosphite derived from pentaerythritol, in an injection moulding process for the manufacture of an injection moulded article for reducing the formation of bubbles in said injection moulded article.

A method for producing a structural component from an organometallic sheet includes a first step in which the organometallic sheet is preheated, introduced into a tool and subsequently re-formed. In a second step, a region of the re-formed organometallic sheet is heated. In a third step at least the heated region of the re-formed organometallic sheet is re-formed further in such a way that it enters into a material bond with a further region of the organometallic sheet to form an at least partly closed hollow profile. A device for carrying out the method for producing a structural component from an organometallic sheet and a structural component produced by the method also are described.
