Abstract: A method of manufacturing a unitary toothbrush head having a base and filaments extending therefrom. The method includes steps of injecting molten plastic material into a mold cavity having a pre-base cavity and a filament cavity extending therefrom; compressing the molten plastic material, once it is essentially filling the pre-base cavity, by impressing a punching tool into the molten plastic material from the rear side of the pre-base cavity being opposite to a side from which the filament cavity extends; and filling the filament cavity with the molten plastic material under the continuous impression of the punching tool.

Abstract: A wicket bag dispenser for holding flexible bags is suitable for transferring flexible bags into the loading station of a bag filling machine. An apparatus includes an interacting wicket bag dispenser and a holder pin of a loading station. A method includes transferring flexible bags from a wicket bag dispenser to the loading station of a bag filling machine. The wicket bag dispenser comprises a stack of flexible bags, each bag having at least one aperture, and at least one wicket spool positioned through the apertures, wherein the wicket spool has an free end, the free end comprising a spool head, so that each flexible bag from the stack of flexible bags is conveyed along the spool in order to transfer to the loading station. The spool head is free to move in an axial direction relative to the wicket spool.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a composite thermoplastic product including a first polar engineering thermoplastic cohesively bound to a second thermoplastic that includes a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin. The first thermoplastic can contain a polar thermoplastic polymer cohesively bound to the second thermoplastic. Methods for the production of the composite product are also described, including methods for forming an adhesive bond between polar engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, ABS/PC, PC or PMMA and non-polar thermoplastic elastomers containing styrene elastomers, such as SEBS or SEPS, combined with a polyolefin polymer.
