Biodegradable Living Hinge

A molded polymer article is disclosed which includes a first structural portion, a second structural portion, and a living hinge connecting the first structural portion and the second structural portion. Both structural portions and the living hinge are all integrally molded from a polymeric composition which includes: (1) from about 20 to about 95 weight percent of polyhydroxyalkanoates, (2) from about 5 to about 75 weight percent of a biodegradable polymer selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid, poly(butylene succinate), poly(butylene-succinate-co-adipate), poly(caprolactone), and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), (3) from about 0.01 to about 5.0 weight percent of a nucleating agent, and (4) from about 0.01 to about 5.0 weight percent of at least one mold processing aid, such as a mold release agent.

Method of forming a foldable or collapsible plastic/composite utility enclosure

A method of forming and assembling a foldable plastic utility enclosure using molds to form sides of the enclosure, preferably using glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite. The molds are constructed to form a central hole in hinge members which are formed on ends of the sides. The central hole of the hinge member is molded with two molding parts, wherein one or both of the molding parts have a solid central portion that forms the central hole. The sides are removed from the molds after curing and the sides are assembled to form the utility enclosure while the sides are still hot from the molding process. Hinge pins are inserted into the central holes of the hinge members to form hinges and to prevent the sides from warping during cooling. Assembling the sides and inserting hinge pins to form the utility enclosure is completed within approximately 10 minutes after removing the sides from the molds.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CAR ROLLER SHUTTER DOOR

The invention relates to a technical field of car roller shutter door production, in particular to a method for manufacturing a car roller shutter door. A single film piece is firstly vacuum formed into a desired shape, and then rubber is injected into the film piece after vacuum forming, so that the rubber and the film piece are integrally formed to form a single roller shutter strip, and then a required number of single roller shutter strips are placed and laminated on a flexible substrate in an integrated and orderly manner to form a car roller shutter door. Each of roller shutter strips is independent of each other and does not interfere or affect each other, which improves flexibility of the car roller shutter door. Compared with long strips of whole film sheet on the car roller shutter door in the prior art, each of film pieces of the present invention is independent of each other and does not have defect of easy fracture of the whole film sheet, which makes service life long. In addition, production of the single film piece is less expensive and more efficient, and pattern design is flexible. When one of the roller shutter strips is damaged, only the damaged roller shutter strip needs to be replaced in a targeted manner, avoiding the waste of resources and reducing maintenance costs.

Injection molded article

This injection molded article has a body part and a movable part. The body part has a first stopper part and a second stopper part, while the movable part has a movable body and a first rib and a second rib that are formed to protrude at both widthwise end parts of the movable body. A first groove and a second groove that extend in the depth direction perpendicular to the axial direction of a hinge part, are respectively formed between the movable body and the first rib and between the movable body and the second rib.

Method for producing a pre-assembled integrally produced cable gland

Cable gland for guiding a cable through a wall opening, comprising a body element extending along a longitudinal axis and having an internal cable duct extending along the longitudinal axis, a clamping portion arranged on the body element and having a plurality of clamping elements, a tubular sealing element arranged inside the cable duct and connected to the body element, and a cap nut having an axial opening at one end which is mechanically coupled with the body element, wherein the body element is formed from a first material and the cap nut is formed from a second material, wherein the first material and the second material are injection moulded on to one another.

Vehicular trailer hitching assist system

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and a control disposed in the vehicle. A display device includes a video display screen operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. Responsive to the driver initiating a hitching maneuver event by engaging reverse gear of the vehicle, rear backup video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera are displayed at the video display screen. An overlay overlays the displayed rear backup video images and aids in guiding connection of a trailer hitch of the equipped vehicle to a trailer tongue of a trailer. Continued display of rear backup video images that are overlaid by the overlay is ceased upon elapse of a threshold period of time or upon exceeding a threshold speed or upon exceeding a threshold distance traveled.

Collapsible article comprising combinations and multiplications of foldable sections
11814214 · 2023-11-14 · ·

A collapsible article comprising a plurality of foldably interconnected foldable sections/modules. The foldable sections can be part of cylindrical or conical surfaces. They can also be in the form of closing sections. When the foldable sections are part of tubular surfaces, either cylindrical or conical, they consist of four polygonal surface segments. The polygonal segments are curved/round in unfolded state and have a flat or approximately flat shape in partly folded and folded states. The folding process usually involves an abrupt transition between the unfolded and folded positions which makes the unfolded article almost as stable as non-foldable equivalents. The folding process usually requires application of force on the edges that form valley creases during folding.

In mold assembly of two hinges

The present invention is directed to a 4-bar kinematic link component and method for forming the 4-bar kinematic link using a single rotary molding tool. The invention eliminates the need to form individual components of the bracket from several different tools, which will then requires additional assembly steps. The 4-bar kinematic link is formed from two different materials each having a different in mold shrinkage value. This allows for hinge pins to be formed through a base component in a way that will prevent sticking of the components together thereby allowing the parts to have it relative to one another using the hinge pin. The final component is a 4-bar kinematic link that can be used as a 4 bar link mechanism for providing motion.
