| 20080224363 | Method For Manufacturing a Plastic Fuel Tank - Method for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank by moulding a parison in which, during the moulding operation, a pipe ( | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090057945 | Process for manufacturing a plastic hollow body, device and equipment for the implementation thereof - Process for manufacturing a plastic hollow body, the process comprising the following steps:
| 03-05-2009 |
| 20090250161 | METHOD FOR CONNECTING A TUBULAR PART MADE OF PLASTIC TO A NECK OF A FUEL TANK ALSO MADE OF PLASTIC - A method for connecting a tubular part made of plastic to a neck of a fuel tank also made of plastic, by welding using a resistive element heated by a resistive effect. The shape and dimensions of the two parts to be connected are chosen such that one surface of each part is up against a corresponding surface of the other part. The resistive element is incorporated into one of the two surfaces, the two surfaces are brought into contact, and an electric current is passed through the resistive element at an intensity to allow the resistive element to be heated to a temperature high enough to melt the plastic of the two surfaces to weld them together. The tubular part and neck each include a barrier layer and are welded such that the two contact surfaces are coaxial and the barrier layers in the weld region are parallel. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090250846 | PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF A MULTILAYER HOLLOW BODY THAT INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE WELD - A process for producing, by molding. a hollow plastic body with a multilayer structure including a liquid barrier layer. In the process: a) a parison including at least one part to be welded is inserted into an open mold including at least two impressions provided with a weld zone to position the part to be welded in the weld zone; b) the mold is closed, juxtaposing its impressions to clamp that part of the parison to be welded and to carry out welding; c) a pressurized fluid is injected into the mold and/or a vacuum is pulled behind the mold impressions to press the parison against the mold impressions and to mold the hollow body; and d) the mold is opened and the hollow body extracted During a) to d), the mold impressions are cooled, exception at the weld zone, which is heated at least during a) and b). | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100044927 | Process for manufacturing a plastic hollow body from a parison and die for extruding a parison - Process for manufacturing a plastic hollow body, said process comprising the following steps:
| 02-25-2010 |
| 20100139842 | Method for Producing a Fuel Tank Provided With Internal Accessories - Method for producing a fuel tank provided with internal accessories and having a wall made of plastic made in a single piece by moulding a split parison or a parison in at least two parts, said method comprising the following steps: a) the parison is introduced in the heat-softened state into a mould comprising dies; b) a core on which the accessories are placed is introduced inside the parison; c) the parison is pressed onto the dies of the mould; d) the accessories are fastened to the parison with the aid of the core in an ideal layout; e) the core is withdrawn and the mould is closed; f) the tank is moulded from the parison; and g) the tank is removed from the mould. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110068515 | Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank - Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank equipped with an internal line by molding a parison using a mold comprising two cavities and a core, comprising the following steps: introducing the parison into the mold cavities; introducing the core inside the parison, said core having first been fitted with the line; closing the mold so that the cavities come into leaktight contact with the core; pressing the parison against the cavities by blowing through the core and/or applying a vacuum behind the cavities; fastening the line to the parison over at least two points using a device attached to the core; opening the mold to withdraw the core; and carrying out the final molding of the parison by blow molding and/or thermoforming, in which the line comprises, between its fastening points, a free length that is capable of coming into contact with the parison and/or with an accessory found thereon when the mold is closed, and wherein during the fastening step, at least one intermediate fastening point is created using a device attached to the core. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110131771 | Process for fastening an accessory to a plastic hollow body during the molding thereof and a connection piece - Process for fastening an accessory to a hollow body obtained by molding a molten plastic parison and using a plastic connector comprising coupling means for the accessory and a stop surface intended to limit the penetration of the connector into the molten plastic, according to which the stop surface is provided with a curved double lip (or one-piece part having two concentric curved edges, i.e., two protuberances located preferably at its periphery, which are concentric and are in relief relative to the remainder of the part) and the connector is welded to the inner wall of the parison using this double lip. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110131788 | Process for fastening an accessory to a plastic hollow body - Process for fastening an accessory to a hollow body obtained by molding a molten plastic parison, this fastening taking place by snap-riveting with the aid of a tool during the actual molding of the parison, according to which, before carrying out the snap-riveting, the parison is locally deformed so as to surround the snap-riveting zone with a dome, the snap-riveting zone being also in relief (hollow) compared to the rest of the accessory. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110139342 | Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank and internal accessory - Process for manufacturing a plastic fuel tank (FT) equipped with an internal accessory, by molding a parison using a mold comprising two cavities and a core, said process comprising the following steps: the parison is introduced into the mold cavities; the core is introduced inside the parison, the core having first been fitted with the accessory; the mold is closed so that the cavities come into leaktight contact with the core; the parison is pressed against the cavities by blowing through the core and/or applying a vacuum behind the cavities; the accessory is fastened to the parison by snap riveting using a device attached to the core; the mold is opened to withdraw the core; and the final molding of the parison is carried out by blow molding and/or thermoforming. The accessory comprises an orifice for the snap riveting and at least one protuberance which, during the fastening of the accessory by snap riveting, will at least partially melt to form a local weld which is at another location than the obtained rivet to obtain two different attachment points. | 06-16-2011 |
