Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a sound insulation molding with mass (2) and spring (3), wherein both mass (2) and spring (3) are produced on the basis of the same material, in particular polyurethane. For the formation of a mass, reaction substances and fillers are brought into a mold, in particular sprayed in or injected, and brought to reaction. The spraying in or injection is thereby controlled such that the reaction substances and the fillers are supplied in locally different quantity and/or composition into the mold, dependent upon the sound damping to be locally achieved together with the spring, which is then formed on the so-formed mass (2) in the same mold through formation of foam. Through this, with surfaces to be sound insulated which are of the same geometry, three-dimensional moldings (1) of the same geometry can be produced with both different acoustic and also mechanical behavior in predetermined series.

Abstract: A method for producing back-foamed air-permeable textile products, whereas, instead of providing a film or the like to prevent the penetration of reaction products or foam to the visible face, the pressure created during the reaction is intentionally decreased so that none of the reaction products nor the foam created by the reaction of the reaction products is able to penetrate the textile product. With a product manufactured in this way, the climatic comfort is improved and a better acoustic effect can be achieved. The disclosure also relates to a device which is suitable for carrying out the method and to a corresponding back-foamed air-permeable textile product.

Abstract: A multi-layer damping foil having a perforated lower layer facing towards a part to be damped, with properties which are suitable for adhering the damping foil onto the part. A non-perforated upper layer, facing away from the part, does not have adherence properties. Advantageously there may be provided between the upper and lower layers a thin film-like intermediate layer of non-woven fabric, kraft paper, or the like, which may have openings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas flow-through line with a sound absorption effect. Thereby the wall (5) of the line (1) has through-going perforations (2) having a diameter of less than 1 mm. The invention can for example find employment in the air suction hoses of a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a viscoelastic damping foam with an adhesive surface for adhesion coupling to vibrating surfaces, for solid-borne sound absorption. The viscoelastic damping foam is obtained through the stoichiometric reaction of a polyisocyanate with at least two polyols of the polyether type which are incompatible with one another.

Abstract: For manufacturing a composite foam, having acoustic properties, foam flakes (8) of differing sizes, differing origins, and/or differing material compositions are wetted with a small quantity of a polyurethane dispersion binding agent. The mixture is subsequently combined to a molded part (1) or to continuous web and under the effect of hot (water) steam or microwave energy is cured and subsequently dried. The composite foam can be used for sound insulation purposes in vehicles and in general machinery construction, and also in building construction.

Abstract: There is provided a one-piece, removable load floor lining having sound insulation properties, for motor vehicles, having an upper shell (2) and a lower shell (1). The upper shell (2) is substantially flat and is hingeably connected with the lower shell (1) which is adapted to the contours of the trunk region, so that a complete unit is obtained which because of the double-wall principle achieves a large acoustic effect. The upper shell (2) further includes coverings (19, 20) which can be folded open by means of hinge means, whereby together with the contour-following configuration of the lower shell (1) there are provided closed hollow spaces (4, 5, 6, 7) of different depths, in particular as storage compartments for receiving accessory parts, baggage or the like, such as e.g. a so-called active noise control system.

Abstract: A covering for lining acoustically excited surfaces includes an upper cover layer and a flush fitting lining that adheres to the rear side of the cover layer. The lining has sound deadening properties and is made of a plurality of lining modules. A method of manufacturing such a covering for acoustically excited surfaces includes the steps of forming a cover layer and lining the modules and applying the modules to the cover layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filler body (1) for acoustic and thermal sealing of hollow spaces in vehicle bodywork, constituted as a molded part of resilient, porous material (4) of sufficient restoring resilience, enveloped in foil, which part is subjected to a vacuum prior to introduction into the hollow space (5). The molded part is self-supporting and has, in the direction of introduction, which is perpendicular to the plane of installation, a large bending stiffness by virtue of a flat, thin intermediate layer (3).

Abstract: An air-borne sound insulating arrangement with absorption properties for surface elements, in particular for partition walls in motor vehicles, comprises a heavy layer which has foam layers on both sides which have skins on the outside or have a foil as a covering. The arrangement is arranged so close to the surface element (sheet 1) to be protected that the distance between the heavy layer and the surface element is as small as possible. Adhesion to the surface element does not take place. The arrangement can rest against the surface element or can be at a short distance therefrom so as to even out corrugations or the like. The arrangement is arranged in the desired position in relation to the surface element by means of fastening bolts and/or fastenings at the edges.
