Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for extruding an article of uniform cross-section, the article including a thermoplastic material and at least one cable for inhibiting stretch of the article. The cable is supplied to a respective tube and is conveyed between upstream and downstream ends. The thermoplastic material may be supplied to the downstream end of the tube. The thermoplastic material is brought together with the cable to embed the cable within the thermoplastic material, thereby forming a composite extrudate. The tube is configured to at least hinder movement of loose windings of the cable from the downstream end towards the upstream end, which may prevent or at least reduce incidence of "birdcaging".
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for extrusion of an article is provided. A die assembly can apply flows of thermoplastic material to an array of reinforcing cables to form a composite extrusion. A slider fabric can be bonded to one side of the composite extrusion. After exiting the die assembly, the slider fabric can act to support the extrudate as it passes along an elongate mandrel, which can cause the base of the slider fabric to change shape from a flat profile to the final internal profile of the article. The extruded article can then be cooled to solidify the material. The die can include cooling for the slider fabric and means for promoting penetration of the thermoplastic into reinforcing cables.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an outer door handle. According to the invention, the pressure-actuated element (15) integrated in the bow-type handle is configured as a multiple-component insert (20) with two components, namely a hard component (21) and a soft component (22). The multiple-component insert is shaped like a cap. The center portion (23) of the cap bottom consists of a plate-shaped hard component (21) on the exterior. The remaining area of the cap, namely especially the contour part (35) towards the plate and the cap coat exclusively consist of the soft component (22). The cap coat is inserted in a force fit in a recess (13) of the bow-type handle by way of contacting surfaces and shoulders (41) and is secured therein by snap-in elements (43).
Abstract:
A structural component is provided. In another aspect, a vehicular component, such as a handle, is made of layers of material, a light curable material and/or multiple built-up materials. Another aspect uses a three-dimensional printing machine to emit material from an ink jet printing head to build up a structural component.
Abstract:
Bei einem Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Handhabungsmittels, insbesondere Türgriffs (10) oder einer Griffklappe, eines Kraftfahrzeugs, mit einem Kernteil (12) und einem Außenteil (14), ist vorgesehen, dass ein Kernteil (12) als Rohling mit geringfügig geringeren Abmessungen als das fertige Handhabungsmittel hergestellt wird, dass anschließend der Kernteil (12) lackiert wird, und dass schließlich der lackierte Kernteil (12) mit einem transparenten Kunststoff als Außenteil (14) in einem Spritzgussvorgang vorzugsweise vollständig zum Herstellen eines farbigen Handhabungsmittels umspritzt wird.
Abstract:
The equipment comprises a moulding element (16) having a working surface (18) against which a previously-heated sheet (12) of thermoplastic material is urged. The equipment comprises at least one movable element for defining a cavity (38) with an undercut cross section which, in use, encloses a portion of the sheet (12) to be moulded and compressed-air supply means (36) which bring about the deformation of at least one portion of the sheet (12) by means of a jet of compressed air.
Abstract:
The intermediate stretched-blow molded container (1 ) comprises a biaxially stretched-blow molded hollow body (10) that comprises a container side wall (10a), at least one recess (101 ) that is formed in said container side wall (10a), that is off-center from the second vertical central plane (P2), and at least one convex and outwardly protruding deformable region (102) that is formed in the container side wall (10a).The maximum gripping dimension (DR) of the stretched-blow molded hollow body (10) measured next to and on one side of the convex and outwardly protruding deformable region (102) is smaller than the maximum dimension (DL) of the stretched-blow molded hollow body (10) measured next to and on the other side of convex and outwardly protruding deformable region (102). Said convex and outwardly protruding deformable region (102) comprises an outwardly protruding invertable lateral wall (1020) that is an extension of a second lateral wall (1011 ) of the recess (101 ) and that extends beyond a first lateral wall (1010) of the recess (101 ), and a front wall (1021 ) that is an extension of this outwardly protruding invertable lateral wall (1020). The junction (H) between the bottom portion (1012) and the second lateral wall (101 1 ) of said recess (101 ) forms an hinge on the whole periphery of the outwardly protruding convex deformable region (102) for inverting the said outwardly protruding convex deformable region ((102) and the second lateral wall (101 1 ) of the recess (101) by pushing them inwardly in order to form a concave grip (G).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a grip unit (1) for an actuating device of a vehicle door (2), flap, or similar. Said grip unit (1) comprises a movable grip element (20) encompassing a first (21) and a second end (22) which can be arranged on the inside of the vehicle door (2). The first end (21) of the grip element (20) is mounted on a first stationary element (24). The inventive grip unit (1) further comprises a second stationary element (30) that adjoins the second end (22) of the grip element (20), the stationary elements (24, 30) touching the grip element (20) on contact surfaces (3, 4, 23, 25) when the grip element (20) is moved. The disclosed grip unit (1) is provided with a first plastic while being designed with at least one contact surface (3, 4, 23, 25) made of a second plastic that is less hard than the first plastic, said contact surface (3, 4, 23, 25) being monolithically connected to the respective element (24, 20, 30) of the grip unit (1).
