  • Patent number: 5811185
    Abstract: This invention provides a polyolefinic multilayer film which has a base layer containing polypropylene and at least one outer layer. The outer layer contains at least 50% by weight of a propylene/butylene resin composition. The propylene/butylene resin composition has a low degree of crystallinity and is modified by a surface treatment, e.g. corona treatment. The surface treatment raises the minimum heat-sealing temperature to the range of 85.degree. to 110.degree. C. and unexpectedly reduces the film's tendency to block. The resulting multilayer film is useful in packaging.

  • Patent number: 5804116
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of shaped bodies by extrusion moulding of plastic-filler mixtures with filler contents of more than 50% by volume, preferably from 65 to 90% by volume, by means of an extruder with a conveying input zone. The method is restricted to use of fillers having good thermal conductivity. For carrying out the method, initially a mixture is manufactured from molten or fluid synthetic resin and the filler and this is ground and graded after cooling. Afterwards, there is extrusion of the ground mixture or of fractions separated from this and graded. According to a preferred variant of the method, an extruder is used for the extruding having a conveying input zone whose extrusion part consists merely of an input zone and an output zone.

  • Patent number: 5803874
    Abstract: A universally adaptable adjustable arm exercise device to supplement leg exercising includes a leg exercising unit having a foot contact surface. A pole is mounted adjacent each of two opposite sides of the foot contact surface. The mounting is accomplished by each pole being mounted to a mounting bracket secured to the leg exercise unit. A hinge pin extends from each bracket with a respective pole pivotally mounted to one of the hinge pins. An adjustable resistance device is provided on each of the hinge pins with a resistance setting member on each hinge pin for controlling the resistance force required for a user to pivot the poles back and forth and thereby provide an arm exercise simultaneously with the use of the leg exercise unit. The poles could be part of a self contained unit which could slide under various types of leg exercise units.
