Abstract: A rotary shaft may include a multi-piece liner for absorbing vibrations caused by rotational energy generated by the rear axle and/or clutch of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A paperboard composite for use in packaging applications includes paperboard adhered to a backing structure, providing enhanced wet tear strength. The backing structure includes an oriented polymer film and a reinforcing scrim, bonded together by a thermal bonding layer. In one embodiment of the invention, the parts of the backing structure are of similar chemical composition, thereby facilitating recycling of scraps and other waste.

Abstract: A covering for use on a surface is provided. The covering is removable, non-skid, and non-adhesive. The covering includes a substrate having a front surface and a back surface. The substrate is non-skid coated. A decorative top sheet is adhered to the substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric with a laminate structure comprising flexible materials such as skins, woven fabrics and/or paper, and at least one metal material. The fabric is manually deformable without high elastic or plastic recovery. According to the invention, the structure consists of a substantially planar metal core essentially comprising a non-ferrous metal, this core being less than 0,15 mm thick and having the firmness necessary to provide a flexible stiffness, the thickness and metallurgical treatment being adapted to the weight of the flexible materials, and a layer of flexible materials bonded to either side of the core. The fabric of the invention is for use in the clothing industry, furnishings, interior decoration and stage designing.
