A foam roller includes a body having a passage defined axially therethrough. A support coat is connected to the outer surface of the body and has a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has multiple slots through which multiple protrusions formed on the outside of the second layer extend. The protrusions extending through the slots form multiple massage portions. The second layer is connected to the outside of the first layer by way of heat pressing to form the support coat. The first and second layers have different colors. The color of the outside of each massage portion is different from the color of the first layer.

A coupling may be configured to receive and secure an insertion end of a conduit. An outer surface of the insertion end of the conduit may be smooth and free of grooves, flanges and beads. A first member of the coupling may define a first passageway. A second member of the coupling may define a second passageway. The first member may be in spin weld engagement with the second member. A gripping ring having an inner edge defining a series of teeth may be disposed within the second member. A support ring and O-ring may also be disposed within the second member.

A case structure for accommodating a circuit board of an implantable electronic device includes a housing and a lid body. The housing has a plate portion, a wall portion and an opening. One end of the wall portion connects to the periphery of the plate portion, and the other end of the wall portion defines the opening. The periphery of the plate body is sealed with the other end of the wall portion. Accordingly, the plate body and the housing together form an airtight space for accommodating the circuit board.

A method of manufacturing a hollow composite structure is provided. The method includes curing a first portion of the hollow composite structure having at least one open region and at least one wall, the at least one wall partially defining a hollow interior. The method also includes bonding a laminate shell to the first portion of the hollow composite structure proximate to at least one location of the wall to cover the open region and enclose the hollow interior. The method further includes disposing a second portion of the hollow composite structure over the laminate shell, the second portion comprising a plurality of plies. The method yet further includes curing the first portion and the second portion during a final cure.

An exemplary enclosure including a resin injection-molded canister defining a top end, a bottom end and an intermediate body disposed therebetween. The enclosure, furthermore, includes a resin injection-molded fitment defining a base, a tamper-evident panel, and a neck disposed therebetween. The top end includes a rim having an inwardly facing mating surface and the base includes a rim having an outwardly facing mating surface. The canister and fitment are configured to be fused along the inwardly and outwardly facing mating surfaces subsequent to being filled with the consumer product. The tamper-evident panel is molded into the fitment during the injection molding process while the mating plane of the fitment and canister is located below the base of the fitment to optimize the opening of the canister for being filled with the consumer product.

A functional element of metal having a flange of larger diameter from an attachment surface and a centering section arranged inside the attachment surface and extending away from the flange, characterized in that an adhesive is arranged around the cylindrical section and adjacent to the attachment surface.

The present invention provides a medical container: that is configured of an upper member and a lower member; that can be molded by injection molding; that has an excellent dimensional accuracy; and in addition to these, that is capable of effectively preventing the trouble that a molten resin for joining the upper member and the lower member enters the container. The present invention is a bottomed tubular medical container 1 made of a resin and continuously configured of a neck 12, a shoulder 14, and a body 16. The medical container 1 includes an upper member 2 and a lower member 4 each having a structure obtained by vertically dividing the medical container 1, a circular recess is formed at a circular lower end face of the upper member 2 along a shape of the lower end face, and in the lower member 4, a circular projection is formed at a circular upper end face of the lower member 4 along a shape of the upper end face, the circular projection of the lower member 4 is interference-fitted to the circular recess of the upper member 2, further, a fitting portion between the circular projection and the circular recess is sealed with a molten resin 6 from an outer circumferential side of the medical container 1, and the upper member 2 and the lower member 4 are fixed with the molten resin 6.

A synthetic resin-made welding joint that has a pipe end portion into which an end portion of a synthetic resin-made tube is to be fitted and inserted, and that is configured so that the pipe end portion and the tube end portion which is fitted and inserted thereinto are enabled to be welded together by heating of heating means which externally surrounds the pipe end portion, therefore, a synthetic resin-made holder which is fitted and attached onto the pipe end portion is disposed, and a flange for ensuring a radial expansion gap with respect to the heating means is integrally formed in the holder.

The invention relates to a method of capping a hollow container, the container including a neck which defines an opening towards the interior of the container, the capping method including the following steps: placing a film over the entire edge of the opening in the container so as to cover the opening; deep drawing the film in the opening in the neck of the container with a die, such that the film forms a collar, a central region and a riser at the junction between the collar and the central region, the riser being in contact with the inner wall of the neck; and securing the deep drawn film to the neck, thus rendering the film integral with the body of the container.

A method for coaxially connecting a first plastic tube (10, 110) to a second plastic tube (20, 120), said plastic tubes (10, 20) in particular being provided as part of a medical catheter (102), the two plastic tubes (10, 20) being connected by way of a tubular connecting piece (50), characterized in that the first plastic tube (10) and/or the second plastic tube (20) are integrally molded from the outside onto the tubular connecting piece (50) using a forming process such that an adhesive and/or positive connection is produced.
