Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a prefabricated shower curb system for easily providing a shower area with a water-retaining curb. The prefabricated shower curb system is formed mainly by a body that has a C-shape and includes a recess, and that is preferably manufactured from a rigid foam material such as expanded polystyrene. The body is mounted onto a wood, aluminum, or other support member arranged along a shower floor entrance area. The support member is secured to the shower walls or to an adjacent support member through brackets. A waterproof liner is used to cover and protect the support member. An adhesive material and the tapered interior design of the body recess allow the curb to be firmly secured in place on the supper member. The extraordinary strength, light-weight, low-cost, and easiness of size adjustment make the system novel in the industry.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal glass package box, which includes a box body, a plurality of mounting sections mounted inside the box body, and cushioning devices respectively mounted to the mounting sections. The cushioning devices each include a cushioning section and a receiving section connected to the cushioning section. The cushioning section includes an air pocket. The receiving section forms a receiving channel corresponding to the respective mounting section in order to mount the cushioning device in the box body. The liquid crystal glass package box provided by the present invention uses an air pocket to serve as a cushioning section mounted inside the box body to provide effective cushioning to liquid crystal glass for protecting the liquid crystal glass from damage during shipping. The raw material used is economic so as to effectively lower down the material cost. The structure is simple and is easy to manufacture.

Abstract: A tank and associated fabrication method are provided which may limit the damage otherwise occasioned by the impact of a ballistic projectile. The tank may include a wall assembly defined between outer and inner walls and a plurality of restraining elements that extend between the walls. The restraining elements may be formed to have a plurality of layers of material that form not only the restraining element, but also portions of the inner and/or outer walls. For example, the tank may include a plurality of cells positioned adjacent to one another with each cell forming portions of two adjacent restraining elements and portions of the inner and/or outer walls. A corresponding method for fabricating a tank including a wall assembly having a plurality of restraining elements is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure container comprising a thin-walled, cylindrical metal liner (1) having bases (8) on the end sections and an outer stable jacket (2) that surrounds the liner (1). At least one of the bases (8) of the liner (1) has a slight convex curvature towards the interior of the liner (1). A pressure converter (4) is situated between the outer surface of the convex base (8) and the inner surface of a base part of the stable jacket (2), said converter being constructed from a rigid profiled base on the side facing the base part of the rigid jacket (2) and a deformable cushion (6) of viscoelastic material on the side facing the convex base (8).

Abstract: A container for cryogenic liquids comprises an inner container and an outer container which are positioned with respect to each other and are thermally decoupled from each other by a vacuum insulation layer. In order, with the lowest possible weight and lowest possible costs in series production, to achieve the best possible heat insulation, the inner container and the outer container are in each case composed of prepared fiber-reinforced elements which are in each case wrapped up together with a filament and are thereby connected to one another, and supports which are also composed of a fiber-reinforced plastic are provided on the inner container for the relative positioning of the inner container with respect to the outer container.

Abstract: A sump for inhibiting leakage of liquid includes a double wall for at least part of the sump, and an interstitial space between the double wall. An indicator liquid is located in the space, and a sensor is in fluid communication with the space such that a change in the pressure or liquid level in the interstitial space causes the sensor to indicate leakage into or from the interstitial space. The double wall includes a base, a wall directed upwardly from the base of the sump, and the upwardly directed wall includes an angular portion being directed at an angle from the base greater than 90 degrees relative to the base. A remote location of that portion is connected with a substantially upright wall portion for the sump. An aperture for an electrical conduit is located in the angular portion.

Abstract: A cryostatic vessel 12 is radially interconnected inside a tubular thermal shield 18. A shield first endplate 20 includes a plurality of spacers 30 which are disposed in axial abutment with a corresponding first endplate 14 of the vessel during assembly. A shield second endplate 22 is disposed in axial abutment against an opposite end of the shield, and includes alignment holes 36 receiving corresponding alignment pins 32 extending from an opposite endplate 16 of the vessel. The spacers maintain a predetermined clearance between the endplates of the vessel and shield which clearance is precisely maintained upon fixedly joining both shield endplates to the shield.

Abstract: A pressure proof reaction vessel and the method of making and operating such a vessel wherein the vessel has a thin inner wall whose primary function is to conduct heat and a thick outer wall whose primary function is to contain the pressure with said inner wall being supported by the said outer wall using closely-spaced supports between the two walls. Heat transfer fluid flows in channels formed by the two walls. A novel method of fastening together the inner and outer walls of such a vessel using fastening means associated with a hole passing through the outer wall and that do not introduce surface disruption of the inside surface of the inner wall, is disclosed. This fastening means also allows for a very economical fabrication method whereby the inner wall and the supports are formed out of one piece of material. The vessel is particularly useful for the polymerization of vinyl chloride in large reaction vessels greater than 10,000 gallons in size.

Abstract: Double-walled thermal container, comprising a first inner vessel inserted in a second outer vessel. The two vessels are connected by a connecting element so as to form a vacuum interspace between the inner and outer vessels.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide a FRP double-wall tank and a producing method therefor which can provide improved productivity and cost efficiency, the FRP double-wall tank comprising an inside wall of reinforced plastics and an outside wall of reinforced plastics covering said inside wall, and further comprising a sheet having cavities interposed between said inside wall and said outside wall and a film interposed between said sheet and said outside wall.
