Patent number: 11801628Abstract: A method for producing hollow bodies made of plastics by blow molding or deep drawing using a deep-drawing tool or a blow-molding tool, comprising the extrusion of preforms from thermoplastics, the method comprising a wall thickness control of the preforms, wherein a measurement of the wall thickness of the preforms takes place within the tool on the mold cavity side on at least one reference point of a preform, the measured value obtained is compared as an actual value with a predetermined target value and the wall thickness control is triggered to change the wall thickness of the preform during extrusion or between extrusion cycles depending on the deviation between the actual value and the target value.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: KAUTEX TEXTRON GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Thomas Mayer, Jochen Hild, Verena Thimm

Patent number: 9399334Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the riveted fastening of an accessory to a plastics fuel tank (11, 12), the riveted fastening taking place at the time of the production of the tank by extrusion blow-molding of a split tubular preform or two web-like extruded preforms made of thermoplastic material by using a multi-part die after or during the molding of two complementary shells. The accessory (4) has been provided or is provided with at least one opening. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the riveted fastening takes place by means of at least one prefabricated rivet pin (9) made of thermoplastic material. The rivet pin has been obtained in a separate production process, for example by injection-molding.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Carsten Elsasser, Jochen Hild, Timo Kraemer, Achim Kupper, Harald Lorenz, Christoph Mehren, Thomas Wagner

Patent number: 9056546Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel tank for a motor vehicle, which is made up of two shells which are complementary to one another, wherein the shells are supported against one another by at least one strut penetrating the tank (1), connecting opposing wall regions of the tank. The strut is configured as a two-part hollow strut (4), wherein the parts of the hollow strut are latched together via a plug connection and the latching connection is secured by at least one closure body (12) at least partially filling up the cross section of the hollow strut (4) at least level with the latching connection.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Kautex Textron GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Klaus Gebert, Jochen Hild, Markus Hutzen, Christoph Mehren
