Abstract: A molded body is useful for non-pneumatic tires, in furniture, seating, as cushioning, for car wheels or parts of car wheels, toys, animal toys, as tires or parts of a tire, saddles, balls and sports equipment, for example sports mats, or as floor covering and wall paneling, especially for sports surfaces, track and field surfaces, sports halls, children's playgrounds and pathways. A preparation for the molded body and a process for manufacturing the molded body are also provided.

Abstract: A molded body is useful in non-pneumatic tires. The non-pneumatic tires containing the molded body are useful for vehicle wheels such as wheels for cars, bikes, motorcycles, trucks, e-scooters, toys, sports equipment, golf caddy, strollers, or wheelchairs. A process for manufacturing the molded body for non-pneumatic tires is also provided.

Abstract: A pump housing made of plastic sections is provided. The housing includes a first casing that has a first side facing the region in which a pumped medium will flow, and a second casing that has a second side facing the environment. The pump housing's first casing and second casing are both dimensionally stable, with a space between the first casing and the second casing. A filler material such as a self-expanding foam may be provided in the space. The pump casings may be standardized components, and multiple casings may be assembled to form pump housings to suit a particular application.

Abstract: A vehicle tailgate structure including a first panel portion including a composite material and a second panel portion overmolded onto the first panel portion, the first and second panel portions forming together a body portion, a transverse beam and side beams connecting the transverse beam to the body portion, wherein the transverse beam includes a hinge attachment portion configured to receive a hinge attachment part, wherein the first panel portion has a bent strip in the transverse beam, and wherein the bent strip is raised with respect to a remaining portion of the first panel portion.

Abstract: A four-point link for the suspension of a rigid axle which has four bearing seats. Two bearing seats can be articulated on the axle and two can be articulated on the vehicle frame. The link has a single-piece link body which is inscribed by the trapezoid formed by the bearing seats. The link body is formed of a fiber-composite arrangement that comprises at least one longitudinal fiber arrangement. The longitudinal fiber arrangement encases the bearing seat, at least along half circumference thereof and extends along at least a portion of the link body in order to optimize loading, reduce mass and increase its application. Torsional compliance makes it possible to use relatively small and/or hard rubber bearings for articulating the four-point link or the vehicle axle.
