A structural component serves as a container for a vehicle. The structural component comprises a trough-shaped container section, an edge region, and fastening elements that are provided in the edge region. The container section forms a compartment and defines a bottom region and two or more wall regions, which are at least sectionally inclined with respect to the bottom region. The two or more wall regions are arranged between the bottom region and the edge region. The fastening elements are arranged and distributed around the container section. The container section and the edge region are formed of an injection moldable fiber reinforced thermoplastic material. The structural component at least sectionally has a porous internal structure that is formed by foaming the thermoplastic material.

A tray having: an annular sidewall having upper and lower annular peripheral edges, an upper annular peripheral rim which is integral with the upper annular peripheral edge, and a base having an annular peripheral edge which is integral with the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall, wherein the rim, the sidewall and the base are composed of a thermoplastic polymer and the sidewall and the base define a central concavity for packaging a product, wherein the base has a lattice structure of elongate foam ribs interconnected by foam junctions, wherein each foam rib has opposite ends, and each end is integrally connected to either the annular peripheral edge of the base or one of the foam junctions, wherein each foam rib and each foam junction has opposed upper and lower unfoamed solid skins of the thermoplastic polymer on opposite sides of a central cellular foam core of the thermoplastic polymer

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a container for washing and/or cleaning agents from a water-soluble material and to a container that is obtained in accordance with the method as contemplated herein.

A method of forming a cross-car beam is provided. A composite is melted to form a viscous polymer. The polymer is injected into a mold. Pressurized fluid is injected into the mold to evacuate a portion of the viscous polymer from the mold and to form a channel therethrough. The remaining viscous polymer is cooled within the mold to form a cross-car beam.

A runner for supplying resin to a cavity includes a sprue that is supplied resin from a nozzle of an injection molding machine, a first path formed in the runner, where the resin flows in the first path from the nozzle when the nozzle connects to the sprue, a first pin that moves to a first position to increase the size of the first path before the resin is supplied to the first path and moves to a second position to decrease the size of the first path before the nozzle separates from the sprue.

A passive horn integrally formed using thermoplastic vulcanized rubber includes a first outer casing, a second outer casing, an inner casing and an iron piece. The first outer casing includes a sealing ring, a folding ring and a vibrating membrane, and the sealing ring, the folding ring and the vibrating membrane are integrally injection molded into the first outer casing. A groove is disposed in the second outer casing, and the first outer casing is disposed in the groove. The back surface of the vibrating membrane is provided with a casing groove sequentially embedded with the inner casing and the iron piece. Furthermore, a preparation method of a passive horn integrally formed using thermoplastic vulcanized rubber, which, under the condition of integrated injection molding, may improve the yield rate, ensure product quality, save assembly time and labor cost, and improve production efficiency.
