Abstract: A plant for manufacturing and packaging tubes feeds the tubes via a conveyor belt to a packaging station, where they are packaged to form larger units. The foil strip is a dual or multiple-strip, cut by at least one partitioning blade into individual webs respectively welded in parallel planes to form endless tubes and cut by transverse cutters. The tubular bodies are assembled into a larger transfer group and jointly transferred to a turn table including a corresponding number of mandrels. The turn table conveys them jointly and stepwise to stations for fitting the shoulder portion with a threaded neck and the closure cap. The finished tubes are deposited on a discharge belt and fed to control regions for checking. Flawless tubes are received by the discharge belt and fed continuously to a tray.

The shut-of element is designed to include more than one part and at least one external dimension of the main body is slightly smaller than a nominal width of the flow channel and seal elements are arranged on opposite support surfaces of the main body via an engaged connection projecting over the external dimension with a peripheral edge collar.

Abstract: A monoaxially elastic laminate film is provided with a core layer made of a thermoplastic elastomer and at least one skin layer co-extruded together with the core layer. The skin layer is made of a thermoplastic plastic with a molecular lattice that becomes brittle when it solidifies, so that the plastic stretches only slightly when a stretching force is applied, and breaks without any transition when a pre-determined tear force has been exceeded. After becoming brittle, the molecular lattice is irreversibly broken up by monoaxial stretching in the stretching direction, but is maintained perpendicular to the stretching direction, and thereby reinforces the film in the crosswise direction.

A conductor is coupled with the elastic member and extending between the two end portions. A positioning member is formed as a member separate from the elastic member and positioning the elastic member with respect to the frame.

Abstract: An extruder head for extrusion blow-molding plastic containers includes a ring gap nozzle with a mandrel and a ring-shaped nozzle body. An elastically deformable sleeve is arranged on an end of the nozzle outlet side and defines a gap width which can be varied by axial setting movements of the mandrel and/or the nozzle body. The geometry of the nozzle gap can be influenced by radially deforming the sleeve with setting devices during the extrusion of a hose-shaped preformed blank. The sleeve may be moved in a radial direction and is guided on sliding surfaces which support it in upward and downward directions. The sleeve may be in the form of a cylinder or tube. A lower edge of the sleeve shapes a cross-section of a melt stream exiting from the ring gap nozzle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a soundproof thermal shield (3), particularly for motor vehicles, comprising an aluminum support (4), a noise-absorbing layer (6) and an aluminum thermal covering (7). In order to make the inventive soundproof thermal shield easy to recycle while obtaining a great thermal shielding effect and noise-absorbing power, a permeable mat made of knitted aluminum is used as a noise-absorbing layer (6), said knitted aluminum being superimposed in several layers and pressed so as to form the permeable mat. The inventive thermal shield is thus made of a single material. Preferably, the support (4) is made of a microperforated aluminum sheet while the thermal covering (7) is preferably made from an aluminum film.

The substructure has at least two support rollers (5, 6), which are disposed at a distance (A1, A2, A3) from one another, whereby the support rollers are adjustable, changing the distance, in order to adapt themselves to any winding diameter (D1, D2), whereby the movement sequence of the support rollers takes place in such a manner that the wound goods are furthermore securely supported. It is practical if the winding device (1) is provided with lateral supports (7), which have a wheel that is adjustable in height, which is set to the center (M1, M2) of the wound goods (3). Lateral migration is prevented in this manner, for the purpose of optimizing a secured position.

Abstract: A mop bucket assembly for use with a wringer device and a mop includes a container having partition elements dividing the container into compartments. A first compartment contains a liquid for rinsing the mop head after mopping. A second compartment receives a liquid extracted from the mop head by the wringer device. A fourth compartment contains a cleaning solution. A housing is received in a third compartment and a flexible bladder is disposed in the housing and is in fluid communication with the fourth compartment. The flexible bladder contains a supply of cleaning solution. Liquid extracted from the mop head by the wringer device flows through an opening in one of the partition elements and places pressure on the flexible bladder, causing the cleaning solution in the flexible bladder to flow into the fourth compartment to maintain a desired level of cleaning solution in the fourth compartment.
