An aluminum-thermoplastic composite surface structure. A sheet of aluminum is formed to a single-sided mold by heating the sheet and applying a ramp of gas pressure. A thermoplastic resin is heated and microballons are added to the resin to lower the viscosity of the resin, which is applied through a nozzle in a hexagonal pattern on the formed aluminum sheet. Upon cooling, the composite resin forms a honeycomb pattern. The hexagonal pattern transitions to a columnar pattern and a backing layer of aluminum sheet is gas pressure formed to the resin composite. Gas forming of the aluminum sheet results in aspect ratios of up to 0.6, and the sheet maintains a clean surface that bonds to the applied resin. |

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a polyurethane foam backed instrument panel. This process comprises slicing a free-rise bun of polyurethane foam to form a skived polyurethane foam, bonding the skived foam to a skin material to form a laminate, optionally, rolling the foam/skin laminate, thermoforming the foam/skin laminate into an instrument panel skin, positioning the instrument panel skin into the cavity of a mold, positioning a retainer into the core of the mold, adhering the retainer to the laminate by placing an adhesive film onto the retainer, closing the mold to apply heat and pressure, and removing the resultant instrument panel from the mold. Suitable polyurethane foams for the present invention may be flexible foams or semi-rigid foams. This invention also relates to the polyurethane foam backed instrument panels produced by this process. |

A moisture containing wooden core substantially fully encapsulated within a formed in situ substantially non-wetting water impervious thermoplastic envelope. An effective amount of an insect and fungi controlling water soluble reagent is provided within the envelope. Preferably, there is sufficient moisture in the envelope so that the reagent will migrate substantially throughout the wooden core. The encapsulated workpiece is preferably formed by dipping or spraying the moist wood core with the aqueous reagent, and encapsulating the resultant treated core before it dries out so that the core remains moist throughout its expected life span. Green freshly harvested wood can be treated, coated, and used in direct competition with dried wood, without risk of its warping, splitting and checking during its expected useful life. Boron containing compounds are preferably used as the infection controlling reagents. |

A method for producing an embossed information plate, e.g., a license plate, wherein desired indicia are embossed in the front surface in relief form and retroreflective sheeting is adhered to the background portions of the front surface. A reflective sheeting having a low-tack, heat-activated adhesive on its backside is tacked to a plate blank. When the plate blank is embossed with desired indicia, the sheeting is simultaneously cut out according to the indicia. After the cut-out portions of the sheeting are removed, the embossed plate and trimmed sheeting which is tacked thereto are passed between a series of pairs of co-acting, resilient lamination rollers wherein the roller of each pair which contacts the sheeting is heated. The rollers conform to the contour of the indicia and heat the sheeting and adhesive, thereby causing the adhesive to effectively wet the surface of the plate and activating it as the sheeting is simultaneously laminated to the plate. |

An ABS resin having a heat-deformation temperature of 106 DEG C is used as a PS thermoplastic resin and is extrusion molded to obtain a core. Seven cores are disposed on the right and left sides thereof and are hauled off by a haul-off machine. Reinforcing long fibers are impregnated with an unsaturated polyester resin, passed through a dispersing guide and a drawing nozzle to form a fiber-reinforced composite hollow structure having legs made of FRP by drawing. A final drawing nozzle is disposed through a cooling jacket in a cross-head die. After the impregnated fibers are passed through this nozzle, the outer periphery is heated and covered with the ABS resin. Next, the fibers are cooled ans sized by paired rollers, one pair being arranged vertically and the other being laterally. Then the covering ABS resin is cured in a hot water curing bath at 95 DEG C. The surface of the ABS resin is roughened for slip prevention. Protective caps made of a thermoplastic resin are fitted to the end portions of the cores. Each cap comprises a sheet-like portion having substantially the same planar shape as the sectional shape of the end portions of the composite hollow structure, and a pawl-like protruding portion protruding from the sheet-like portion and expanding towards the distal end. The protruding portion is split in a circumferential direction. An apparatus for producing such a composite hollow structure comprises pairs of sizing rollers which are disposed at least vertically. The sizing rollers are rotatable, heat-resistant, and disposed in the haul-off direction. The temperatures of the rollers gradually lowers from the upstream side toward the downstream side. |
