Abstract: The invention concerns a cover (10) for a longitudinal member of a automobile, with a longitudinally extending covering part (16) which is securely attachable with the body (14) of the automobile and in the assembled condition covers the longitudinal member at least from the side exposed to view, of which the end segments (28, 30) with their upper edge (36, 38) engage the front and rear fender of the body with formation of a joint. For simplification of the manufacture and assembly as well as for improvement of the form integration a joint gap covering joint gap shield (42, 44) is provided on the respective end segments (28, 30), which is capable of being pre-assembled via connecting elements (46, 48), wherein the end segments together with the pre-assembled joint gap shield are attachable to the automobile body at associated connecting positions by means of the connecting elements.

Abstract: In a device for manufacturing composite plastic mouldings, at least two different reaction mixtures are injected simultaneously through different sprues (24,26) into the cavity (28,28',28") of a mould (20,22). During the injection time of at least one of the reaction mixture, the cavity is subdivided into two or more mutually isolated regions. Following the injection of one reaction mixture, the separation between the regions of the cavity is removed and the at least partially liquid reaction mixtures converge in the separation plane. This device makes possible to join at least two materials having different properties in a single operation. It is useful for manufacturing bumper bars, spoilers, coach-work, and internal linings of motor vehicles.
