  • Patent number: 11981051
    Abstract: An extruded part is formed by extrusion of at least one polymer melt, wherein the polymer melt or polymer melts has/have two melt fronts, which form two material inner edges of the extruded part when the polymer melt or polymer melts is/are in the solidified state; —the two material inner edges are integrally bonded to each other and define a linear binding seam of the extruded part. The binding seam is situated in a connection region of the extruded part; and—the extruded part has at least one fiber grid, which is situated in the connection region of the extruded part and is connected to the extruded part such that the fiber grid bridges the two material inner edges. The extruded part may be a part of a battery housing for a traction battery.

  • Patent number: 8550536
    Abstract: The tailgate (1) or rear door for a motor vehicle with a rear window includes a single-piece main carrying structure (10) with a peripheral, flexurally resistant frame (11), with an upper transverse beam (12), two lateral longitudinal beams (13, 14) and at least one lower transverse beam (15). The main carrying structure consists of a fibre-reinforced moulding compound (20) with at least two impregnated, integrated continuous-fibre bands (21) and this moulding compound is non-positively connected to the rear window (2) and together with this forms a flexurally resistant structure. Thereby, the continuous-fibre bands (21) in sections are integrated into the frame (11) in an arrangement vertical (v) to the surface (H) of the tailgate, by way of the continuous-fibre bands (21) being arranged vertically to the surface (H) and/or at a vertical distance (d) to the surface (H).
