Abstract: A method for reducing fluctuations over time in discharge of a plastics composition when extruding plastics products, including melting plastics material in an extruder and supplying the plastics material to an extrusion die by way of one or more extruder screws arranged in the extruder, and conveying a plastics composition along an extrusion axis by rotating the one or more extruder screws as pressure builds up, wherein discharge of the plastics material at a transition region from the extruder to the extrusion die or in the extrusion die is kept constant by changing a rotational speed of the one or more extruder screws, and wherein changing the rotational speed is carried out within one revolution of the one or more extruder screws.

Abstract: An apparatus for the dimmed covering of a view opening (2) in a cladding of a passenger compartment that is subjected to shocks or vibrations, wherein the view opening (2) is formed by at least two transparent panes which are arranged parallel to each other in the cladding and between which a dimming cover element is arranged that can be moved via an actuating device with an operating element arranged in the exterior space of the panes between a position which releases the view opening (2) and a position covering the view opening (2).

Abstract: Handrail having laterally bent edges which engage around laterally projecting ribs of a guide element such that the ends of the bent edges are situated at a clear distance from one another and each at a distance from a guide base of the guide element where the clear distance corresponds to a total gap size plus a width of the guide base and is chosen in consideration of the width of the guide base and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena occurring during operation to not exceed 8 mm, while a clear width of the bent edges is chosen to be greater than the width of the guide element at the ends of the laterally projecting ribs such that, considering tolerances of the width of the guide element at the ends of the ribs and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena occurring during operation of the handrail, not exceed 8 mm.

Abstract: Handrail which can be mounted on a guide element and which is intended for moving walkways, escalators or the like, in which an inner sliding surface (2) of the handrail (1) is supported such that it can slide or roll on the guide element (3), said handrail having laterally bent edges (4) which engage around laterally projecting ribs (5) of the guide element (3), which are straight or inclined by an angle ? or upwardly bent, to such an extent that the ends (6) of the bent edges (4) are situated at a clear distance C from one another and each at a distance—(C1 or C2)—from the guide base (7) of the guide element (3), characterized in that the clear distance C of the ends (6) of the bent edges (4) of the handrail (1) corresponds to the total gap size C1+C2 plus a width X of the guide base (7) at the relevant point and is chosen such that, taking into account the tolerances of the width X of the guide base (7) and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena which result during the operation of the handrail (1), the total
