A weld stop element may be used in a hot plate welding process for bonding first and second plastic components. The weld stop element includes a weld stop post positioned between ribs of one or both of the components. The weld stop post is sized such that the weld stop post is not accessible by a heating element during a heating phase of the hot plate welding process. The weld stop post defines a stop position for when the first and second plastic components are pressed together after the heating phase.

An injection molded component includes a wall that has an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface. A sensor is molded into one of the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface. A channel is at least partially surrounding the sensor.

A pallet having excellent thermal insulation performance and cushioning property with respect to goods-conveyed while ensuring the strength of the outer surface of the pallet. The pallet includes a plate-like pallet body made of foamed resin, the plurality of legs provided on the bottom surface of the pallet body, and the resin sheet integrated from the bottom surface side of the pallet body by vacuum-forming. Further, the top surface of the pallet body includes the loading surface on which goods-conveyed are placed, and the step portion formed in a shape down-step from the outer peripheral edge of the loading surface to the side surface of the pallet body. The resin sheet covers the bottom surface of the pallet body, the legs, the side surface and the step portion of the pallet body, and the loading surface is not covered with the resin sheet.

Described is a wood-plastic composite material for structural components of transport pallet, said structural components being capable of being nailed together, having a matrix foamed by means of a blowing agent, wood meal fibres and an adhesion promoter. To create a wood-plastic composite material of this kind which enables a cost-efficient production of transport pallets with a wood-like appearance and constitutes a reliable replacement for the soft wood materials used up until now, at least with regard to weight and mechanical strength properties, it is proposed that the matrix, which comprises a long chain-branched polyolefin, has a mass fraction of 30-95%, the wood meal fibres have a mass fraction of 5-50% and the adhesion promoter has a mass fraction of up to 10% of the wood-plastic composite material, the composite material density being less than 0.3 g/cm.sup.3.

A polymer composition comprising a blend of two or more high density polyethylenes: (A) a first high density polyethylene having a density of at least 940 kg/m.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 of 0.25 g/10 min or less; and (B) a second high density polyethylene having a density of at least 940 kg/m.sup.3 and an MFR.sub.2 of 1.0 g/10 min to 20 g/10 min; wherein said polymer composition has an MFR.sub.2 of 0.25 to 15 g/10 min and wherein the components (A) and (B) combined form at least 91 wt % of said polymer composition.

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.

An injection molded component includes a wall that has an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface. A sensor is molded into one of the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface. A channel is at least partially surrounding the sensor.

An assembly for forming a structural, insulating or decorative article as any of a roll, sheet, board or panel and including a width extending die and extruding nozzle for issuing a flowable polymeric material having either of a solid or ribbed cross sectional profile and including any of a polyurethane, a polypropylene or any other polymeric material. At least a pair of opposing and rotating pinch rollers are arranged for receiving therebetween the flowable material. A material roll simultaneously feeds a material layer between the rollers and against the flowable polymer material at a given pressure to cause the polymeric material to fuse and embed within the material layer. The material separate material layer can further include any structural panel, multi-panel or pallet style construction, such including both solid and interiorly hollowed/corrugated constructions.
