The disclosure is directed to a method for manufacturing a Bowden cable, in particular a Bowden cable of a closure element arrangement of a motorized vehicle, comprising the step of applying a noise dampening sleeve to a Bowden cable housing. It is suggested that the noise dampening sleeve is molded onto the Bowden cable housing.

This disclosure describes co-extruded multilayer articles including at least one continuous layer and one discontinuous layer, as well as systems and techniques for the manufacture of co-extruded multilayer articles. For example, a co-extruded multilayer article is described that includes a body having a plurality of layers, where a first layer of the plurality of layers is formed from a first material and is continuous along a longitudinal axis of the body, and a second layer of the plurality of layers is formed from a second material and is discontinuously co-extruded along the longitudinal axis.

A device for influencing the volume flow of extruded plastically deformable material conveyed to an outlet nozzle. A flange arranged between an extrusion unit and an outlet nozzle and is connected to the extrusion unit and the outlet nozzle. A duct from the extrusion unit and the outlet nozzle is incorporated in the flange. A piston is mounted in the flange to be rotatable perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the duct and is located through the duct. In the piston there is a hole which opens into a bypass duct routed to a bypass nozzle. On the outer lateral surface of the piston there is at least one groove in the region of the duct so that, depending on the angular positions of the piston, material can be conveyed through the at least one groove to the outlet nozzle or through the hole to the bypass nozzle.

The invention relates to a device and a method for semi-continuous blow moulding of fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic, endless, hollow-profile-shaped components with longitudinally constant or varying cross-sections, consisting of at least one consolidation tool, which, in its closed state, encloses a preform enclosing an elastically moldable pressure chamber.

Recently, we have introduced 3D-micro-patterned pharmaceutical dosage forms for enhancing the efficacy, safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness of drug therapies. Presented herein are an apparatus and a method for the manufacture of such dosage forms. The apparatus comprises at least a first extruder and at least a second extruder. The first extruder comprises an extruder channel having an exit port with a valve mated to an input port of a second extruder. Said second extruder comprises a translatable piston for extruding plasticized fiber at controlled speed. The apparatus further comprises a stage movable at the controlled speed of the extruded fiber for depositing said fiber to a three dimensional structural framework. The method includes extruding plasticized matrix from a first extruder into a second extruder, extruding said plasticized matrix from the second extruder through a fiber fabrication exit port at controlled speed to form extruded fiber, and depositing said extruded fiber onto a fiber assembling stage to form a three dimensional structural framework.

A vertical additive processing system for use with a blow molding machine having a flow head from which a plastic parison is delivered to a mold and producing an article. The system has a servo-controlled accumulation technology (SCAT) unit including (a) an accumulator collecting plastic material when retracted and delivering plastic material when extended, and (b) an actuator directing the accumulator to retract and extend. The system further has a tooling unit including a bushing body adapted to engage the flow head, a distribution ring, a bushing cap, a central aperture defining a main parison flow path, and a distribution channel delivering additional plastic material received from the accumulator to the main parison flow path. The system still further has a material duct connecting the two units through which plastic material delivered by the SCAT unit is transported to and received by the tooling unit.

An extruder has a valve assembly configured to move pins to open and close the nozzles in a multi-nozzle extruder head independently. The pins of the valve assembly that are driven by actuators into and out of engagement with nozzles in the extruder head are positioned within sleeves that extend between the valve assembly and the extruder head. A gap is provided between the extruder head and the end of the sleeves proximate the extruder head to enable thermoplastic material leaking from the extruder that contacts the pins to remain in a melted or plastic state so the thermoplastic material does not interfere with the movement of the pins.

The instant invention describes an extruder for shaping clay or similarly pliable materials into desired shapes. The extruder comprises an operational section, a cassette, and a die. The operational section comprises a plunger, a means for controlling movement of the plunger, a means for supplying electricity, and a body to provide an exterior housing. The cassette, which is removably attached to the operational section, comprises a cavity for holding extrusion material through which the plunger will pass. The die comprises an aperture used to shape the extrusion material and is able to he attached to the cassette.

The present invention discloses a discharge container that is provided with the following: a container body in which contents are stored; a securing member; a discharge vessel including a stem; an exterior section including a top wall section penetrated by molded holes and that discharges the contents from the perforation holes onto a discharge surface of the top wall section; and an inner plate which is provided so as to be freely movable inside the exterior section and which forms a diffusion chamber in the space that is formed with a supply surface of the top wall section.
