A joining structure includes a first member, a second member of a material different from that of the first member, and a separation mechanism provided between the first member and the second member and that separates the first member and the second member from each other, wherein a resin is filled into the space between the edge of at least one member among the first member and the second member, and the other member.

A method for joining two objects by anchoring an insert portion provided on one of the objects in an opening provided on the other one of the objects. The anchorage is achieved by liquefaction of a thermoplastic material and interpenetration of the liquefied material and a penetrable material, the two materials being arranged on opposite surfaces of the insert portion and the wall of the opening. Before such liquefaction and interpenetration, an interference fit is established in which such opposite surfaces are pressed against each other, and, for the anchoring, mechanical vibration energy and possibly a shearing force are applied, wherein the shearing force puts a shear stress on the interference fit.

A cryogenic storage tank including a first metallic end piece having a first structured connection area on its outer surface, a second metallic end piece having a second structured connection area on its outer surface, a hollow body extending between the first structured connection area and the second structured area. The hollow body is formed of a fiber reinforced polymer-based composite, a first metallic clamp having a third structured connection area and a second metallic clamp having a fourth structured connection area. The hollow body is arranged between and in intimate contact with the first structured connection area of the first metallic end piece and with the third structured connection area of the first metallic clamp and is arranged between and in intimate contact with the second structured connection area of the second metallic end piece and with the fourth structured connection area of the second metallic clamp.

The present invention provides a metal-plastic composite material having excellent adhesive strength and formability and a method for manufacturing the same, and specifically, the present invention provides a metal-plastic composite material and a method for manufacturing the same comprising: a metal layer; and a plastic layer on at least one surface of the metal layer, wherein a thin film layer formed of a silane coupling agent is provided between the metal layer and the plastic layer, and the metal layer and the plastic layer are bonded by covalent bonding with the silane coupling agent.

A method of anchoring a connector element (10) in a receiving object (66) comprises inserting a distal end of the connector element (10) into a mounting hole in an insertion direction along an insertion axis; inserting a sleeve (36) comprising a thermoplastic material into the mounting hole, the sleeve (36) enclosing the connector element (10); and transferring energy to liquefy at least a portion of the thermoplastic material of the sleeve (36). A machine (500) configured for carrying out the method and a connector element anchoring kit comprising a connector element (10) and a sleeve (36) comprising thermoplastic material.

A precision shaving razor with low cost assembly. A bridge is unitarily molded having a leading platform, a handle attachment mechanism and first and a second cross member each molded to extend substantially perpendicularly to the leading platform. A plurality of base members is each unitarily molded to have a first peg and a second peg for attachment to the cross pieces. A plurality of blade covers each unitarily molded. A razor blade is sandwiched between each blade cover-base pair. In some instances, the blade covers are molded to have hard stops to facilitate precise blade position. In some cases, the bases define angular wash through channels and blade guards spaced to facilitate wash through. In some cases, the skin contacting surfaces of the razor are textured during molding to have a glide improving texture.

A composite assembly with a laminate of fibre plies impregnated with a laminate matrix material is disclosed having pad of fibre plies impregnated with a pad matrix material, and a part with a body with protrusions which extend from the body and penetrate at least some of the fibre plies of the pad. The pad is bonded to the laminate by a stepped lap joint or a scarf joint. The assembly is manufactured by pressing the protrusions into the pad, and after the protrusions have been pressed into the pad, curing a pad matrix material impregnating the pad, and bonding the pad to the laminate.
