Abstract: An improved rocker panel construction includes a substantially convex show surface, a substantially concave hidden surface opposite the show surface, and a clip house mounting structure disposed on the hidden surface. The clip house structure includes a substantially planar clip surface, and substantially planar top and bottom legs attaching the clip surface to the hidden surface. The improvement consists of providing at least one hollow channel surrounded by a reinforcing rib connecting at least one of the legs to the hidden surface. The channel and reinforcing rib may run substantially longitudinally the length of the rocker panel. The channel and reinforcing rib provide a substantial increase in the strength of the attachment of the clip house mounting structure to the hidden surface while preventing the formation of sink marks in the show surface opposite the channel.

Abstract: An automobile windshield molding is installed together with a metallic core material against a windshield installed in a window opening section of an automobile body panel. The windshield molding having a decorative section for covering an outside portion of the vehicle body panel and an installation section projecting from a rear side of the decorative section. The molding also includes a metallic core material which acts as a supporting frame for the molding. The metallic core material is disposed from the decorative section to the installation section.

Abstract: When obtaining a mixture such as a mortar or a concrete by adding powder such as cement, water and other liquid to granular materials such as sand, granular slug, artificial fine aggregate, and the like, useful data can be obtained from an underwater highest density packed material which is pressure-packed under an underwater condition where the charging surface of the granular material and the liquid surface are substantially in conformity with each other. In other words, the underwater unit volume weight of the granular material under this state can be obtained, and a fluidizable fine granular quantity and an underwater loosening rate are obtained from this weight. A developed area on a flow table of the mixture and other data are obtained and when these data are employed suitably, the regulation condition of the mixture is forecast and planned with a small error to attain proper utilization.

Abstract: A process for making a blow molded product which includes the steps of positioning a sheet having a surface pattern which is incompatible with a parison in a mold for blow molding; extruding a softened parison of a synthetic resin from a die head; holding the parison in the mold and blowing gas into the parison to be expanded to form a blow molded product with a surface feature of the sheet reproduced on the blow molded product; and separating the sheet and the blow molded product from each other.

Abstract: A roof molding including a base member having clip engaging surfaces at both ends thereof, and clips secured to the clip engaging surfaces of the base member. The clip includes a main body fixedly engageable with the clip engaging surfaces of the base member and an engaging strip engageable with an existing member positioned in a groove formed on an automobile roof. When the molding is installed into the groove, the engaging strip of the clip is engaged with the existing member positioned in the groove to secure the molding therein.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pipe handling apparatus for oil drilling operations, which is designed so as to handle simply without errors the pipes used for oil drilling operations, and which is provided with a pipe transfer unit for transferring a pipe mechanically between a pipe storage space and the oil well center, a pipe lift unit capable of lowering a pipe, which has been carried to the oil well center by the pipe transfer unit, thereinto and withdrawing a pipe from the oil well center, and a pipe transfer unit for transferring a pipe, which has been withdrawn from the oil well center by the pipe lift unit, to a pipe rack unit automatically so as to store the pipe therein.
