A foaming adhesive sheet comprising a substrate and an adhesive layer placed on at least one surface side of the substrate; wherein the adhesive layer includes a curable adhesive, and a foaming agent; and a peeling force of a surface side where the adhesive layer is placed, measured by SAICAS (Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System) method is 2.0 N or more.

A battery assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a battery array and a foam shell that surrounds the battery array.

The present disclosure relates to a clothing treatment device capable of omitting a frame for structurally connecting an inner case and a cabinet by filling a foaming agent between the inner case and the cabinet forming an appearance. The clothing treatment device comprises a cabinet having an opening at the front thereof: a door which is rotatably provided in front of the opening to open and close the opening; an inner case which is provided in the cabinet to form an accommodation space in which clothes are accommodated, and a hot air supply unit which is provided at the lower portion of the inner case to supply at least one of hot air and moisture to the accommodation space, wherein the inner case is formed of a styrene resin that maintains adhesion to the foaming agent injected into the inner portion of the cabinet.

A molding tool and method for producing an interior trim part. A cavity is embodied between a first element and a second element, and a slide is displaceably connected to the first element. A decorative layer is arranged on the first element and a backing is arranged on the second element. A foamable mixture is added to the hollow area between the backing and a reverse side of the decorative layer, such that a foam layer fills the hollow area. A distance between the first element and the second element is increased to enlarge the hollow area. During this process, the slide is pressed against a side facing away from the reverse side of the decorative layer, such that the hollow area is sealed with the reverse side of the decorative layer pressed against a lateral surface of the backing and/or against a lateral surface of the second element.

A battery assembly includes a battery array and a foam shell that surrounds the battery array. The battery array may be housed within a foam shell, and a barrier can be secured to the foam shell to establish a battery assembly. The battery assembly may then be secured to a vehicle body.

The invention relates to a frame, comprising, on each of its two sides relative to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, a respective longitudinal beam made of sheet metal and at least one transverse beam made of sheet metal and connecting the two longitudinal beams to each other. The longitudinal beams and the at least one transverse beam are connected to each other via joint lines made of polyurethane foam. Moreover, a method for producing the frame is proposed.

Insulated packaging is provided including an inner substrate and an outer substrate attached to the inner substrate to form an air gap therebetween. An expandable material including expandable microspheres is provided with the expandable material disposed between the inner substrate and the outer substrate. An adhesive material different than the expandable material is disposed between the inner substrate and the outer substrate to attach the inner substrate to the outer substrate. A method for forming the insulated packaging is also provided.

For manufacturing composite parts (1) having an inner hollow moulded body (2) with openings (3), which are accessible from outside, the moulded body is introduced into a moulding tool on the mould walls on which a shell layer (11) was applied. The hollow space between the moulded body (2) and the shell layer (11) is filled with a thermally insulating plastic foam (12) which is foamed in the moulding tool and bonds to the moulded body and the shell layer. After removal, a moulded body is provided, which has a qualitatively good surface formed by the shell layer. Such a composite part is preferably used for connecting thermally insulating pipes.

A method of producing a laminated article comprising placing a first metal skin, a core, and a second metal skin freely onto each other as discreet layers to provide a layered component; and forming the layered component into a shaped article via a die prior to producing a laminated article by applying pressure and heat to the shaped article, wherein at least the first skin moves relative to the core and/or second skin during the forming.

The present invention relates to a crash pad for vehicles and a method for preparing the same, and more specifically, a crash pad for vehicles comprising a skin layer forming the outer surface of the crash pad provided with an air-bag module for vehicles; a foaming layer in intimate contact with the lower surface of the skin layer; and a core layer in intimate contact with the lower surface of the foaming layer to form an inner surface, wherein the skin layer has a tensile strength of about 10 to about 100 kgf/cm.sup.2 and an elongation at break of about 50 to about 600% according to JIS K6301 method when it has a layer thickness of about 0.2 mm to about 1.0 mm.
