A method of forming a tank with a stiffening assembly includes forming a fuel tank such that the tank wall carries at least a first and second insert, locating a connecting assembly within the tank interior aligned with the first and second inserts, the connecting assembly including a tubular body, a first coupler, and a second coupler, and coupling at least a portion of the first insert with the first coupler and at least a portion of the second insert with the second coupler to limit movement of the two wall portions relative to each other.

A fuel tank manufacturing apparatus for a fuel tank, the fuel tank having therein a built-in component with a head portion, a neck portion, and a shoulder portion, and having the built-in component anchored to a tank body with a part of a parison wrapped around the neck portion during molding the tank body, includes: a pair of molding dies to have the parison transferred to the built-in component by blow molding; and shaping devices respectively provided in the pair of molding dies, wherein the shaping devices each include: an end surface to contact the parison; a recess provided in the end surface to receive the head portion and the neck portion and covered by the shoulder portion during molding; and an air hole provided in an area of a bottom surface of the recess corresponding to the head portion through which air pressure is applied toward the head portion.

A blow molded thermoplastic fuel tank with built-in fuel system components inside of the tank on separate and spaced apart internal brackets reduces the detrimental effects of thermoplastic swell to ensure fuel volume capacity is maximized, and appropriate clearances with the fuel tank wall are maintained. An internal configuration with separate spaced apart brackets provides more design freedom in the shape and configuration of the tank while enabling the tank shape to be thinner overall and fit within tighter spaces. The separate brackets also act as baffles to prevent sloshing noises of liquid fuel in the tank.

A manufacturing method for a blow-molded panel, and a blow molding apparatus, wherein the blow-molded panel is a double-layer structure or a multilayer structure and is formed by means of blow molding, and respective layers thereof can be made of different materials so that the blow-molded panel has relative good performance.

This invention provides a speaker cabinet, and the aforementioned speaker cabinet includes a containment space within; multiple reinforcing rib connectors pass through the space between the two faces on the inside of the aforementioned containment space with the largest area; when these two faces start moving towards or away from each other, the reinforcing rib connectors provide resistance in the opposite direction of the movement; the aforementioned cabinet and reinforcing rib connectors are created in one piece via extrusion blow moulding. The invention provides a speaker cabinet, where the total capacity of the cabinet can remain unchanged during use, and the cabinet is very light-weight, and the inner walls of the cavity are also very thin. Completely fulfils sound quality and portability requirements.

A method for producing a plastic container provided with at least one insert part by blow molding, which includes introducing a tubular preform, which is open at least at one end, into a blow molding tool; inserting the insert part into the open end of the preform together with a protective device, which prevents the insert part from adhering to the inner surface of the preform during the inserting operation; pulling out the protective device from the preform; closing the blow molding tool; and carrying out a blow molding operation. Also disclosed is an apparatus suitable for performing this method.

A rigid connecting device for connecting the upper and lower surfaces inside an oil tank includes a connecting rod. The upper and lower sides of the connecting rod are each provided with a connecting end surface. The connecting end surface is provided with material-passing hole. The outer surface of the rigid connecting device is covered with high-density polyethylene. The upper and lower surfaces of the oil tank are connected by a connecting rod, and such arrangement is locally applied to areas where the rigidity of the oil tank is poor, so there are more effective space. The part of the rigid connecting rod contacting with the oil fuel is made of high-density polyethylene, so the requirements of strength and anti-corrosion can be satisfied.

A resin panel according to an embodiment includes a core material, a reinforcing material, a skin material covering the core material and the reinforcing material, and a fastened member. A reinforcing material has a first plate provided on a front surface of the core material, a second plate provided on a back surface of the core material, and a connecting plate connecting the first plate and the second plate. The fastened member is attached to the skin material by a fastening member penetrating the skin material and the first plate or the second plate of the reinforcing material.

The present disclosure provides a container with an increased movable range of an upper wall with respect to a side wall. According to the present disclosure provided is a container including a side wall, an upper hinge member, and an upper wall, wherein the upper hinge member and the side wall are connected rotatably around a first rotation axis, the upper hinge member and the upper wall are connected rotatably around a second rotation axis, and the first and second rotation axes are parallel.

Operating fluid container made of thermoplastic for a motor vehicle, with the following features: the operating fluid container has two openings in opposite container walls of the operating fluid container, and a stiffening element extending through both openings; and two stiffening element ends engage behind the container walls from the outside, such that the stiffening element counteracts a deformation caused by internal pressure of the operating fluid container, wherein the operating fluid container is characterized by the following features: a stabilizing element is arranged between at least one stiffening element end and a container wall; the stabilizing element has a through-opening through which the stiffening element extends; the stabilizing element has a first and a second thermoplastic; and the stabilizing element is welded to a container wall.
