摘要:
A foam in bag cushion precursor is disclosed that is particularly useful for manual operation. The cushion precursor comprises a bag formed of two sheets of flexible plastic film material closed on all four side edges; a frangible seal that defines separate interior cells in a portion of the bag; a first foam precursor composition in one of the interior cells; and a second foam precursor composition in another of the interior cells. One of the cells has a nonfrangible seal wall other than one of the side edges for directing the contents of the cell to mix with the contents of the other cell before the mixed contents enter the remaining portion of said bag.

A cavity sealing article for use in a longitudinally extending cavity defined by cavity walls, the cavity having a cross-section within the cavity walls which is to be sealed at a predetermined location, comprises: (a) a driver comprising a crosslinked foamable polymer, the driver having a size, shape, and expansion ratio on foaming such that, when foamed within the cross-section of the cavity at the predetermined location, it substantially but incompletely occupies the cross-section of the cavity; and (b) a sealer comprising an uncrosslinked foamable polymer in intimate contact with the driver and surrounding the driver in the cross-section of the cavity, the sealer having a size, shape, and expansion ratio on foaming such that, when the cavity sealing article as a whole is foamed, the foamed sealer is forced into intimate and sealing contact with the cavity walls.

An apparatus is disclosed for automatically molding defined three-dimensional foam cushions. The apparatus comprises means for preparing a bag from plastic film material and for enclosing a foamable composition in the plastic bag, means for concurrently aligning a mold with the plastic bag and the bag preparing means, means for placing the bag containing the foamable composition into the aligned mold as the foamable composition begins to form foam, and means for maintaining the bag in the mold until the foamable composition has substantially finished forming foam in a shape conforming to the mold.

A method of manufacturing an adhesive foamed product for use in a hollow component of a motorcar, includes the steps of mixing an adhesive resin, a foaming agent, a crosslinking agent, a foaming accelerator and a polymerizable monomer to thereby formulate a highly foamable composition, arranging the foamable composition thus formulated in the interior of a hollow component of a motorcar, and heating the foamable composition until it is foamed to have a shape corresponding substantially to the shape of the hollow component.

An energy absorbing interior automotive trim part (36) has a shell (42) made from polypropylene sections (62), (68), and (69) divided via partitions (58) and (72) extending from the outer wall (44) of shell (42) and touching the passenger compartment facing wall (46). The shell (42) is blow molded with carpet (74), vinyls and other fabric materials (76) integrally molded to adhere directly to wall (46). After molding, interior section or partial section (62) is filled with a structurally engineered energy absorbing foam (64) to provide an energy absorbing structure which will compress a pre-determined distance while absorbing the compressive force applied.

A method for securing a cladding plate to a building substrate by means of an expandable material, such as a hydrophobic polyurethane foam, which is capable of expanding many times its original volume is disclosed. The hydrophobic polyurethane foam is introduced into a space between the cladding plate and the building substrate so as to create an adhesive bond between adjacent surfaces of the cladding plate and building substrate. The foam is introduced into the space either as a free flowing liquid dispensed into a retention basin created in the space or by means of a balloon from which it will expand freely upon fracturing of the balloon. The balloon is constructed so that it will break shortly after the material has turned into foam but before the material has lost its capability of adhering to the cladding plate and building substrate, and before the balloon pressure can overcome the retaining pressure delivered by the cladding plate and building substrate.
摘要:
A molded foam article with an integral skin is produced by blow-molding a parison in a cavity of a metal mold to form a hollow member, filling the hollow member with pre-expanded thermoplastic resin besides before cooling and solidification of the hollow member, and heating the pre-expanded beads to cause the beads to expand further and fuse together. A filler for the pre-expanded thermoplastic resin beads is provided with a cutter for making a hole in the hollow member before introducing the resin beads into the hollow member.

A plastic pin, including a bowling pin, for bowling lanes, and a method of making the same. The pin has a hard shell that surrounds a core of cellular and/or porous material. The shell has a lower bulging portion, thereabove a neck-like reduced diameter portion and thereabove an again slightly wider head. The shell has a wall thickness that from the greatest diameter part of the bulging portion increases gradually both upwardly toward the reduced diameter portion and downwardly toward a base of the pin. The plastic for the core of the pin is introduced into the hollow interior of the shell and fills at least a portion thereof by expansion. The core plastic is introduced at such a temperature that an inner surface of the plastic shell is softened at least at some locations by contact with the introduced core plastic to thereby effect fusion between the plastic of the shell and the introduced core plastic.
摘要:
A bumper construction for vehicles constructed of a single strip of metal roll-formed into a completely enclosed tubular member in which a foamed-in-place material is located in and completely fills only a central section of the tubular member a relatively short distance on each side of the central axis of the vehicle. An apparatus is provided for manufacturing roll-formed bumpers partially filled with a foam-in-place material, the bumpers including material defining a continuous closed section defining an open interior and opposing open ends. The apparatus includes a turntable with a plurality of holders including arms shaped to extend partially into the bumpers, and a plug on the end of each arm configured to block off the open interior of the bumper. The holders are pivotally mounted on the turntable so that a bumper can be slipped onto a selected holder, pivoted to an upright position, and then rotated by the turntable under an injector for dispensing foamable reaction injectable urethane (RIM) material. The plug is squeezed and thus expanded to seal off the interior space, after which the RIM material is dispensed into the upright open end. The upright position is held for several seconds to allow the RIM material to cure, and then the holder is then pivoted down so that the bumper can be readily removed. A method corresponding to the above-noted apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
A partitioning member having therein a space is provided at the opening of a thermal insulation box having an outer and inner boxes forming a space in between said outer and inner boxes. The two spaces communicate with each other and filled integrally with a thermal insulation material by injecting into the space between said outer and inner box an expandable thermal insulation material, which diffuses into the space inside said partitioning member, to thereby provide in a simple and economical way a thermal insulation box having a small number of components but as uniform thermal insulation.
