Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the production of fiber-reinforced composite components in which an outer film is bonded with a layer containing fiber-reinforced polyurethane, characterised in that a) first an elastic intermediate layer which has a modulus of elasticity of 0.5 MPa to 50 MPa and a thickness of 0.3 mm to 6 mm, is applied to the outer film which has a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm to 5 mm, and then b) at least one other layer is applied to the back of the intermediate layer, at least one layer containing fiber-reinforced polyurethane being applied.
Abstract:
An electrical appliance including a housing containing an electric motor and a storage battery pack for energizing the electric motor at an operating voltage of more than 42 volts. The storage battery pack includes a plurality of storage battery cells electrically connected so as to form at least two cell groups having a cell voltage of less than 42 volts. A connector assembly includes a bridge circuit configured to electrically connect the cell groups with each other so as to provide the operating voltage of more than 42 volts while establishing electrical connection between the storage battery pack and the electric motor.
Abstract:
A dishwasher apparatus includes a dish rack having a wire member, and a feed tube for a spray arm rotatably disposed beneath the dish rack. An intensive washing zone is provided in a region of the dish rack, the intensive washing zone including a rod-shaped pipe element attached to the wire member and having an outlet nozzle. A pipe branch for the intensive washing zone is provided, the pipe branch being disposed in a region of the feed tube and communicating with the pipe element via a T-piece. An actuator is provided that cooperates with the pipe element so as to enable the intensive washing zone to be activated and deactivated.
Abstract:
A suction hose for a vacuum cleaner includes a first hose part, a second hose part, and a jacket part. The first hose part is variable in length and includes a hose wall having a coil spring integrated therein, the coil spring being configured to automatically return the first hose part from an extended position to a shortened position. The second hose part is operably connected to the first hose part. The jacket part is configured to receive the first hose part. The jacket part has a length at least equal to a maximum extended length of the first hose part.
Abstract:
A composite member for a vehicle body a method for manufacturing such a composite member, in particular, for a vehicle roof, with a fiber-free outer skin (12) and a fiber-reinforced support layer (16), which is deposited at the inner side of the outer skin in order to support the outer skin. The side of the support layer (16) that faces away from the outer skin (12) is provided with a fiber-reinforced reinforcing layer (18) for reinforcing the support layer. The reinforcing layer has a higher fiber concentration than the support layer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to plastic moldings that are prepared from optionally filled polyurethanes. The plastic molding of the present invention exhibit high tenacity, flexural strength and heat stability. This invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these plastic moldings and specifically to a process for the production of large parts comprising these plastic moldings.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to composite materials made of at least one composite layer of a polyurethane and of a second composite layer which is directly bonded to the first layer and which consists of a thermoplastic material that is different from the polyurethane of layer A). The polyurethane material of layer A) is characterized by a residual content of free reaction components containing ether groups of no more than 400 ppm, and preferably of no more than 100 ppm. The invention also relates to a process for the production of these composite materials and to a method of their use as materials in motor vehicles.
Abstract:
Novel powders useful in the slush molding process are produced by reacting an emulsion of either an isocyanate or an isocyanate reactive material with either an isocyanate reactive material or an isocyanate, depending upon the nature of the component used to make the emulsion in the presence of an at least partially blocked isocyanate and an organic carrier. The final reaction product is subsequently removed from the carrier.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a housing having a washing chamber with an access opening. An access door is operable to close the access opening in a fluid tight manner. A movable loading unit is disposable in the washing chamber and is at least partially removable from the washing chamber through the access opening. The loading unit includes an illumination device.
