Abstract:
The invention concerns a fuel tank (1) of thermoplastic material, comprising functional installation fitments for air intake and venting, for fuel take-off or the like, which is distinguished in that at least one functional installation fitment is connected to the inside wall (3) of the container in material-bonded relationship in such a way that the functional installation fitment defines with the container wall a volume separated from the filling volume of the container in such a way that the inside wall (3) of the container serves directly as a boundary wall of said volume.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a fuel tank (1) of thermoplastic material comprising at least one peripherally extending seam (3) in the form of a welded or squeeze seam, at least one filling opening, air intake and venting means and means for delivering and removing fuel in relation to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, wherein the fuel tank has at least one lead-through means (5) for lines which are to be passed out of the tank. The fuel tank (1) according to the invention is distinguished in that the lead-through means (5) passes through the seam (3) of the tank and extends at an angle relative to the course of the seam (3).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a mold tool for the production of extrusion blow molded products, comprising at least three mold portions (2a, 2b, 3) which define a mold cavity (4) and of which two are in the form of outer molds (2a, 2b) and one is in the form of a central mold (3). The outer molds (2a, 2b) and the central mold (3) are displaceable from and towards each other in the sense of an opening and closing movement of the tool. The central mold (3) is provided with component holders (11) which can be moved out of and into the tool plane defined by the central mold and are arranged in turn on a carrier (10) which is also displaceable with respect to the central mold (3).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for the production of hollow bodies of thermoplastic material, in particular a process for the production of fuel tanks of plastic material. In the process according to the invention preforms in web or band form of plasticised plastic material are shaped in a multi-part tool forming a mould cavity by expansion of the preforms and causing them to bear against the internal contour of the mould cavity. The process firstly includes the production of two mutually complementary intermediate products in the form of shell portions. Then respective built-in fitment components are secured to the respective insides of the shell portions, which face towards each other in the installation position, wherein at least some built-in fitment components of mutually complementary shell portions are respectively of mutually complementary configuration, in the sense that they can be joined to provide an assembled component or to provide a functional unit. The shell portions are assembled in such a way that the mutually complementary built-in fitment components engage into each other and/or come into operative connecting relationship with each other.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for the production of hollow bodies of thermoplastic material. In the process according to the invention preforms in web or band form of plasticized material are shaped in a multi-part tool forming a mold cavity comprising two outer molds and at least one central mold which perform an opening and closing movement relative to each other. The central mold is provided with at least one component holder which can be moved of and into the tool plane defined by the central mold. In a first step the component holder is fitted with at least one insert portion, then the insert portion is placed by means of the component holder against the inside wall of an outer mold. In a further step introduction and shaping of the preforms within the tool is effected in a two-stage procedure, wherein firstly the preforms are respectively applied against a contour forming a part of the mold cavity by means of increased pressure and/or reduced pressure and shaped and then the intermediate products forming respective parts of the hollow body are joined together to form a finished product.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a hollow body of plastic material, in particular a fuel tank, which was obtained by extrusion blow molding, having at least one line which is stationarily laid in its interior, wherein the hollow body is distinguished in that the line is at least region-wise joined in material bonded relationship to the inside wall of the hollow body.
