  • Patent number: 5916420
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin printing paper with a weight per unit area in the range below 49 g/m.sup.2 and which contains wood and which is provided with surface pigmentation and which incorporates a mixture of a swellable coating silicate (sodium bentonite) and, for the remainder, conventional coating pigments as the pigment and which, in addition, contains only bonding agent that is a natural organic bonding agent, essentially starch. Even if only lightly calendered, the paper is equally well suited for rotogravure printing and for rotary offset printing. It is preferred that the paper also contain a proportion of processed fibres obtained from old-paper.

  • Patent number: 5702785
    Abstract: According to the invention, an elastic sealing foil for an inside door panel of a motor vehicle door is formed to provide a receiving device which can be changed from a manufactured position into an installed position. In the manufactured position, the receiving device is composed of two formed-out portions which are arranged above one another, have a cross-section with an approximately U-shaped profile and extend in the opposite directions. These formed-out portions are connected to one another by way of a common wall section. In the installed position, the receiving device projects through an opening of the inside door panel, and downward into the hollow space of the door body, and envelopes an audio or accessory part inserted into the receiving device, providing a water-tight seal with respect to the hollow space of the door body.
