Abstract: A reinforced front part of plastic, for use in the manufacture of cabins or bodies for vehicles in order to achieve rigidity, is molded or shaped as a box-shaped unit in one piece with an enclosure defined by at least five walls which serve as the front, bottom, bonnet, and side walls and with an open side to face the interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: A filtration tank and means for subsequent purification of filter bag purified waste water, especially grey water, which is introduced into the top of a filter tank and is evenly distributed by means of spray nozzles on the top layer of purification media, which are built up in layers in a tank around a built-in central pipe. The layers of purification media consist of varying types of material and grain size, density, weight, ect. The water passes through the varying layers of purification medium and is collected on the bottom of the central pipe, where a pump lifts the water through a U.V. treatment apparatus for sanitation.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of plastic car bodies, preferably moulded or cast in one piece, with openings for doors and windows, includes the step of forming recesses from the outside to the inside terminating inside in an approximately right angle; at least one opening is cut out by means of a projection from a flange or angle K; moulding is then secured to envelop the plastic portion and is attached to an internal rollover bracket or frame; on one side of the door opening moulding is secured a door hinge.

Abstract: A method of producing plastic-based casings including preformed metal fragments for ordnance articles, such as hand grenades, weapon-launched grenades or the like, by rotational molding in a shell-mold; a pulverulent thermoplastic polymer material, such as polyethylene, and steel fragments or particles are introduced into the cold shell mold, optionally in the form of a pre-compact; the closed mold is rotated slowly, i.e. at a speed where the polymer and metal constituents tend to tumble about the inner mold surface and are not held substantially thereon by centrifugal effects; while continuously rotating the shell mold about two or more axes of rotation, the mold is heated by an externally applied hot fluid such as hot gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing molded bodies of expanded plastic having a predetermined density, based on a starting material in granulate form to which a blowing agent and optionally a cross-linking agent have been added, said starting material being introduced into an injection molding machine/press in which it is heated and injected/pressed into a mold. In order to obtain an efficient production process without loss of raw material and a product whose density can be determined in advance, the material in the injection molding machine/press is heated to a temperature which is below the temperature required to initiate the reaction of the blowing agent/cross-linking agent, and the blank thus formed is subsequently transferred to an expansion mold having the shape of the desired final product, but larger, than the blank. The blank is caused to expand in the expansion mold and final expansion takes place outside the expansion mold.

Abstract: A blank or live ammunition cartridge suitable for rifles or guns and including a cartridge case made of a plastics material and comprising a metal bottom insert; the metal bottom insert is part of an integral element comprising said bottom insert firmly anchored in a plastics sleeve, said integral element being inserted into the lower or bottom end of the cartridge case.A method for manufacturing an ammunition cartridge by forming a metal bottom insert from a metal sheet by deep-drawing; combining said metal bottom insert with a plastics sleeve so as to produce an integral structure; and inserting such integral structure into the bottom end of a plastics cartridge case.

Abstract: Boats or the like are hauled up, stored and launched by an arrangement consisting of a frame on which buoyancy elements are mounted. The frame has a vertically movable attachment to a floating or fixed stage, quay, or projection on land. The buoyancy elements are rotatably mounted so that they can freely rotate when the boat is hauled up or launched.
