Abstract: An oil container has a container housing receiving an oil filter and fittings for an oil inlet, an oil outlet, for filling the oil container, and for an opening that can be closed by a cover for temporarily removing or replacing the oil filter, as well as, an air outlet opening. The container housing is divided into at least two chambers by a partition, each chamber including an oil filter. Each chamber has an oil inlet fitting, an oil outlet fitting, and an opening that can be closed by a cover for filling with oil and/or for removing the oil filter. The partition includes an oil overflow opening located above a minimum oil filling level height relative to a rest state determined for the individual oil circuits. A leak occurring in one of the oil circuits does then not affect the operational reliability of the other oil circuit(s).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing plastic moldings while increasing the coefficient of viscosity of the raw material used to manufacture same and to a molding manufactured according to the process. To increase the loadability and the service life of moldings manufactured by injection molding, which are subject to dynamic loads during their use, the granular material used is tempered before the shaping processing in the injection molding process for a period of 10 hours to 30 hours at a temperature between 90 C and 150 C. Without resorting to higher-priced materials, highly loadable moldings can be manufactured by this process, which can be advantageously used by the manufacturer without a greater effort. A corresponding molding, such as a worm gear, manufactured according to the process from a granular material with an original solution viscosity between 180 mL/g and 190 mL/g, has a solution viscosity between 180 mL/g and 200 mL/g.
