  • Patent number: 7935383
    Abstract: A method of producing an adhesive tape having at least one carrier layer and two outer adhesive layers, wherein the carrier layer is from 300 ?m to 5000 ?m thick and is composed of a photoinitiator-free homogeneously thermally crosslinked polymer based on acrylate and/or methacrylate, in which at least one trimerized isocyanate crosslinker is added in the melt to a polyacrylate copolymer having primary hydroxyl groups and based on acrylic esters and/or methacrylic ester, a layer of the polyacrylate together with the crosslinker is conveyed to a coating unit, where pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are laminated onto both sides of the not-yet fully-crosslinked polyacrylate layer, and the crosslinking of the polyacrylate leads to a homogeneously crosslinked carrier layer.

  • Patent number: 7926871
    Abstract: The invention relates to a headrest (10) for a vehicle seat, in particular for a backrest for a motor vehicle seat, said headrest essentially comprising a headrest frame or headrest casing (14) and a foam base body (356) that surrounds the headrest frame or casing (14). In the event of a rear impact on the motor vehicle, the headrest remains fixed in relation to the backrest (conventional headrest) or at least part of the headrest is immediately displaced towards the vehicle occupant (active headrest). According to the invention, the head of a vehicle occupant can be brought into contact with the headrest (10) at least at two different heights (k1z, k2z), (two-point contact), to reduce or neutralize a torque (My) about a y-axis (y-y) in the vicinity of the vertebral column and to prevent accident-related injuries to the seat occupant, in particular to prevent cervical spine syndrome or a whiplash injury in the event of a front and/or rear impact.

  • Patent number: 7909313
    Abstract: An elastomer bush bearing, wherein the bearing body (2) is encapsulated through axial flanges (4, 4?) of the outer bearing sleeve (3), with the bush bearing having an elastomer bearing body (2) with a special profile in the axial direction. The bearing body (2) is employed in constructing the bush bearing of the invention, which is capable of supporting high radial loads even with low radial stiffness and without adversely affecting its stability and service life. The two axial end faces (5, 5?) of the bearing body (1) each have undulated contours which extend in the circumferential direction (u) in the same direction, both with respect to one another and also over the entire region of the material thickness (d) of the bearing body (2).

  • Patent number: 7892523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic method, whereby skin is treated with various sun products, and to a sun product combination. The inventive method is characterized by applying, prior to intensive exposure of the skin to UV radiation, a pre-sun product, then a sun product and finally repeatedly applying an after-sun product. The pre-sun product comprises a radical interceptor, the combination caffeine/complex amino acid salt, the combination photolyase/UV endonuclease and an algae extract of Corallina officinalis. The sun product comprises a UV filter combination of UVA and UVB filters having at least 3% by weight of UVA filter. The after-sun product comprises components similar to those used for the pre-sun product, the content of the radical interceptor and the enzyme photolyase being by 50 to 90% by weight lower, the content of the enzyme UV endonuclease being by 50 to 90% by weight higher, and the algae extract being replaced by a cooling plant extract.
