Abstract: A manhole cover for manholes, sewer accesses or drainage channels, including a reinforcing element and a body made of plastic which is connected to the reinforcing element. The reinforcing element may be constructed from intersecting, vertically aligned elements. Corrugations may be formed in the reinforcing element. The reinforcing elements may be arched and may include an outer encircling strip and a central plate, which are each connected to the body made of plastic. The reinforcing element rests on a bearing surface on the manhole, sewer access or drainage channel when the manhole, sewer access or drainage channel is closed by means of the manhole cover. The body made of plastic includes ribs, which extend perpendicularly or at an angle of more than 45° to the surface surrounding the manhole cover, sewer access or drainage channel when the manhole, sewer or drainage channel is closed.

Abstract: Provided herein is a facade for a building, made up of composite elements, the composite elements respectively having an inner cover layer, a polymer foam layer as the core and an outer metallic cover layer, and are fastened to a supporting structure. Each composite element has at least two fastening regions, in one fastening region the composite elements are immovably connected to the supporting structure and in the other fastening regions the composite elements are displaceably connected to the supporting structure, or the composite elements resting with the ground-facing side on a mounting and all fastening regions displaceably connected to the supporting structure.

Abstract: A console for joining a façade to a building wall (100), including a metal wall part (1) for mounting on the building wall, a metal façade part (2) for joining to the façade, and a bridge part (3) that joins the façade part (2) to the wall part (1), whereby the bridge part (3) includes a plastic material and it forms a heat barrier between the wall part (1) and the façade part (2) is provided. The bridge part is an injection-molded part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and in that the bridge part (3) is injection-molded around the wall part (1) and the façade part (2) so as to encapsulate them in certain areas.

Abstract: A structure for absorbing energy from impacts thereon, the structure being plastically deformable by an impact, with, if appropriate, the possibility that it is at least to some extent disrupted. The structure can include a) ribs for reinforcement, the ribs arranged with respect to one another at an angle with respect to the axial direction such that on failure of a rib a force acting on the structure is immediately absorbed axially by another rib, b) ribs running axially, the ribs being in essence corrugated or of zigzag shape, c) at least one rib running axially in a first plane and connected to at least two ribs running axially in a second plane rotated with respect to the first plane. The structure includes, in the direction of impact, at least two layers, each of which has different compressibility properties and different failure properties.
