A resin metal composite body including a resin member containing a resin molding material containing a resin mixture (a1) and an inorganic filler (a2), and a metal member, and a test specimen of the resin mixture (a1) has a stress-strain curve in a tensile test according to ISO 527-1,2:2012 having a yield point, and a tensile yield stress of 25 MPa or more.

An aerosol dispenser, outer container for an aerosol dispenser and a preform for an outer container, each include an open neck at the top and a closed end bottom. The open neck may include a first surface having a first surface diameter, a second surface disposed interior to the first surface and having a second surface diameter less than the first surface diameter, and a transition distinguishing the first surface from the second surface. For a dispenser and a container, a product delivery device may be disposed on the second surface and not interfere with a valve operable by a user when the valve is attached to the open neck in engagement with the first surface. At least one of the first and the second surfaces may be a sealing surface to prevent escape of propellant from the outer container to ambient when a valve is attached.

The invention relates to a hand-guided device (10) for setting a setting element (12) in a component. The device comprises a handle (14) for holding the device, a carriage (34), which can be moved in relation to the handle and which bears a rotatably supported drive shaft (46), at one end of which a holder for the setting element is formed, a force accumulator (44), which is arranged between the handle and the carriage and which serves to store a defined advancing force, with which the force limiter can be loaded by means of a relative motion between the handle and the carriage, and a force limiter (64) for limiting the advancing force stored in the force accumulator. The force accumulator is designed to apply the stored advancing force to the setting element by means of the carriage. The invention further relates to a method for manually setting a setting element by means of said device.

An aerosol container suitable for use as an aerosol dispenser. The aerosol container includes at least a valve and product delivery device joined to an outer container. The valve and product delivery device have respective annular welds or other seals joining the valve and product delivery to the outer container. The welds, or other seals may be concentric, with one circumscribing the other, in the same plane or different planes. Suitable product delivery devices include bags and dip tubes.

A caulk cartridge for use with high organic solvent caulk is disclosed. The cartridge includes a cartridge body formed as an open-ended elongate cylindrical tube having a first end, a second end, and an inner surface, a nozzle affixed to the first end of the cartridge body, and a plunger engaging with the inner surface of the cartridge body and forming a seal at the second end and slidable along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge body from the second end toward the first end. The cartridge body is manufactured from a cellulosic thermoplastic with a high organic solvent barrier.

The current disclosure provides for methods of manufacturing a balance ring assembly. Such a method includes the steps of securing an upper ring component to a drive head; securing a lower ring component to the weld joint of a base platform; moving the drive head linearly from a home position to a pre-determined touch position; upon reaching the pre-determined touch position, applying a first pressure to the upper ring component and lower ring component; rotating the drive head to move the upper ring component along a first rotational path relative to the lower ring component; and moving the drive head linearly a first distance to move the upper ring component toward the lower ring component and moving the drive head rotationally to move the upper ring component along a second rotational path relative to the lower ring component.

A preform can be made from two different materials that do not bond together by a bi-injection process, using the same mold. First an outer preform can be fashioned first, then an inner preform molded through a center hole in the outer preform, and the preforms connected. Inner/outer preform materials can be different, e.g., PET/polyolefin or polyamide, or the same, e.g., PET/PET. To prevent mutual bonding during molding of the second, a non-stick coating can be sprayed on a surface portion of the first preform prior to molding, the second. Manufacturing order can be either outer/inner, or inner/outer, and the non-stick coating sprayed on the inside/outside of the perform first molded.

A method of anchoring a connector in a first object is provided, wherein the connector includes thermoplastic material in a solid state. The method includes bringing the connector into physical contact with the first object, rotating the connector relative to the first object around a proximodistal rotation axis and exerting a relative force by the connector onto the first object, until a flow portion of the thermoplastic material of the connector becomes flowable and flows relative to the first object, and stopping rotation of the connector, whereby the flow portion anchors the connector relative to the first object, wherein a distal end of the connector is equipped for cutting/punching into the first object and/or for removing material therefrom.

An aerosol dispenser, outer container for an aerosol dispenser and a preform for an outer container, each include an open neck at the top and a closed end bottom. The open neck may include a first surface having a first surface diameter, a second surface disposed interior to the first surface and having a second surface diameter less than the first surface diameter, and a transition distinguishing the first surface from the second surface. For a dispenser and a container, a product delivery device may be disposed on the second surface and not interfere with a valve operable by a user when the valve is attached to the open neck in engagement with the first surface. At least one of the first and the second surfaces may be a sealing surface to prevent escape of propellant from the outer container to ambient when a valve is attached.

A biodegradable container including a unitary polymeric body element having a top portion and a cylindrical body portion. The top portion has a cylindrical neck wherein the cylindrical neck defines an inner surface and an outer surface. The container further includes a polymeric bottom element welded to the cylindrical body portion of the unitary polymeric body element. A polymeric cap defines an internal rim configured to be received by the inner surface of the cylindrical neck. The polymeric cap includes an external cover having an interior surface which may be tapered so that the outer surface of the cylindrical neck and the interior surface of the external cover form an inner seal. The interior surface of the external cover may also form an outer seal with the outer surface of the cylindrical neck when the polymeric cap is in a closed position.
