Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of manufacturing an in-mold labelled article, the method comprising the steps of: placing a label comprising a film having a core comprising polypropylene/polyethylene random copolymer as its principal polymeric constituent into a mold for injection molding, thermoforming, or blow molding; holding the label in position; injecting a polymeric melt into, or thermoforming or blowing a polymeric preform in said mold so as to bind with the label; and removing the article from the mold. A process of in-mold labelling using such a label is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The disclosure discloses a vehicle interior panel for covering an airbag and a method of fabricating a vehicle interior panel for covering an airbag. The vehicle interior panel includes a substrate with an opening, a chute channel assembly inserted into the opening, a surface skin, and a foam layer disposed between the surface skin and the substrate. The chute channel assembly includes a wall section surrounding a chute channel for the airbag and a cover plate covering the chute channel and closing the opening. The cover plate includes an airbag door, wherein an outer surface of the cover plate is in contact with the foam layer. The outer surface of the cover plate has a rough surface structure, the outer surface having a surface roughness parameter Ra of at least 4 μm.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sandwich component and a method for producing such sandwich component. In addition to a viscoelastic layer disposed between a honeycomb-like core layer and one of two cover layers of the sandwich component a porous layer is provided which is attached the viscoelastic layer at the side of the viscoelastic layer facing away from the cover layer between which and the core layer the viscoelastic layer is disposed. The porous layer has a higher compressive strength than the viscoelastic layer. The sandwich panel may be produced by forming a corresponding layered structure including the layers of the sandwich panel and subsequently applying heat and/or pressure to said layered structure in order to produce the sandwich component.
Abstract:
A method for producing a weather strip including an extrusion molded extrusion molded portion, an injection molded portion which is formed by a molding device having a plurality of mold members and connects both ends of the extrusion molded portions in a straight line shape, a mounting base portion which is mounted on a circumferential edge of an opening of a body or a circumferential edge of an opening/closing member for opening and closing the opening, and a hollow sealing portion which protrudes from the mounting base portion, and is pressed against an opposite member when the opening/closing member for opening and closing the opening is closed.
Abstract:
A method for joining a first sheet (10) to a second sheet (11) includes providing a first rigid plate (6); providing a gas absorbing layer on the first rigid plate; positioning the first sheet, the first sheet has at least a first layer (52) and a second layer (54), on the gas absorbing layer (8); positioning the second sheet, wherein the second sheet has at least a first layer and a second layer, on the gas absorbing layer; wherein an edge of the of the first sheet abuts an edge of the second sheet; placing a second rigid plate on top of the first and second sheet; wherein the second rigid plate is transparent; applying pressure to the first sheet edge and second sheet edge; and laser welding the edge of the first sheet to the edge of the second sheet with a first laser through the second rigid plate.
Abstract:
A weather strip includes an extrusion molded extrusion molded portion, an injection molded portion which connects both ends of the extrusion molded portions in a straight line shape, a trim portion which is mounted on a circumferential edge of an opening of a luggage compartment, and a hollow sealing portion which protrudes from the trim portion. The injection molded portion is formed such that a width thereof is 2.0. The hollow sealing portion is provided with a core withdrawing hole, through which a core mold forming an inner peripheral surface of the hollow sealing portion is withdrawn after formation. The core withdrawing hole is formed such that a length thereof along a circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface of the hollow sealing portion is 40% of a circumferential length of the inner peripheral surface.

Abstract:
A diffuser assembly includes a flexible diffuser membrane and a diffuser body. The flexible diffuser membrane defines a circumferential bead. The diffuser body defines a circular plate underlying the flexible diffuser membrane, and an edge ring covering a covered portion of the circumferential bead. The edge ring defines an inside surface that conforms to an outside shape of the covered portion of the circumferential bead. The edge ring is integral to the diffuser body. Such a diffuser assembly may provide a disposable diffuser assembly option with many advantages over conventional technologies such as improved ease of installation, lower weight, and lower cost.
