  • Patent number: 4247652
    Abstract: Dynamically partially cured composition comprising a peroxide-curable olefin copolymer rubber (such as EDPM) and a peroxide-decomposing olefin plastic (such as PE and PP) is improved by effecting the dynamic heat-treatment with addition of a peroxide-non-curable hydrocarbon rubber (such as PIB) and/or a mineral oil softener (process oil). The dynamic heat-treatment is preferably carried out not only in the presence of an organic peroxide but also in the presence of divinyl benzene. The elastomeric composition is thermoplastic and, with or without further blending with an olefin plastic, is processable by techniques conventionally used for thermoplastic resins. This elastomer composition and blends of the elastomer composition and olefin plastic can be used for producing foamed product in combination with decomposition type foaming agent (such as azodicarbonamide).

  • Patent number: 3950726
    Abstract: A low tire pressure alarm system for pneumatic tires, wherein a radio transmitter which is adapted to produce an alarm signal of a predetermined frequency upon detection of an abnormal pressure drop is accommodated in a hollow casing for mounting on a wheel cap casing of a vehicle wheel. The alarm signal is transmitted through the hollow casing per se or through a metal coating on the hollow casing where the latter is formed from a non-conductive material. The transmitted signal is received by a receiving set which includes a receiving antenna located on the underside of the vehicle body for shielding the same from spurious or extraneous signals and a radio receiving unit mounted within a luggage compartment of signals. Upon reception of the alarm signal, the radio receiver actuates an alarming device which produces a flashing light or sound to indicate the pressure drop to an operator of the vehicle.
