  • Method for reducing crazing in a plastics material
    Patent number: 6514573
    Abstract: A method for reducing crazing in a plastics material characterised in that it comprises the steps of: (1) cleaning the surface of the material; and (2) exposing the cleaned surface to plasma of a monomer vapour so as to produce a substantially non-oxidising plasma polymer coating on the surface.

  • Filter with a cylindrical housing and an annular filter cartridge
    Publication number: 20020040569
    Abstract: A filter including a housing made up of two housing shells in the form of mating cylindrical vessels (12, 12a) in one of which a support tube (17), especially a support tube having a conical shape, is integrated. A conical annular filter cartridge, preferably one having a resilient axial play compensating element (21) at one end, is installed on the support tube (17). The housing shells (12, 12a) are joined by a central screw connection (22), and sealing between the housing shells is effected by a labyrinth seal (14, 15). The filter is able to adapt to tolerance variations in the axial length of the individual components, so that productions costs are kept low. The housing shells (12, 12a) are constructed in such a way that they can be manufactured using simple casting molds with no undercuts.
