Integral PSIR door for an instrument panel and method for making same

An air bag cover assembly comprises a flexible plastic air bag door closing an air bag deployment opening in a hard plastic retainer. A door outer edge abuts and is mechanically locked to an inner edge of the opening. The interlock comprises a protrusion in the door outer edge, which mates with a complementary recess in the inner edge of the opening. The interlock blocks outward and inward air bag door movement. The door and retainer are made of plastics, which generally do not adhere easily to one another. Silicone may be sprayed on the door outer edge to further reduce adhesion or where plastics, which generally adhere to one another, are used. Preferably, the exterior and interior surfaces of the door and retainer lie flush with one another. The door includes a flexible hinge flange that extends from an interior door surface and attaches the door to the vehicle structure. The hinge flange allows the door to swing outward upon air bag deployment while retaining the door to the vehicle structure. A steel door insert may be included to add rigidity, strength or dimensional stability to the door. The assembly is constructed by molding molten retainer material in a mold cavity that contains the door so that the retainer material flows around the door to form the mechanical interlock.

Rechargeable Facial Brush with Sterilization

In one example, we describe a method and system for facial brush or body brush, for cleaning the skin. In one example, it utilizes distinct parts: a powered facial brush handle with the ability of offering both an oscillating and rotary setting, removable brush heads of varying materials and compositions, and a charging base station with a protective germicidal UVC sanitizing and drying chamber. User convenience is also central to our solution. All the functional actions of the protective germicidal UVC sanitizing and heating chamber are activated once the brush handle and brush head is placed within it, in one example. Mode control allows the user to choose the right setting for them, offering a mild setting for sensitive skin and normal for balanced skin types. A set duration of brush activation allows the user to orchestrate a complete cleaning Various examples and variations are presented.

Tension spring mount

End mounts are used to secure a helical tension spring to end fixtures with various shapes and sizes. These end mounts contain an inner hole to encase the inner spring end mount and secure the end mount making it like a cap. There is also a keyhole created in the top surface that goes through the end mount allowing it to fit over the fixtures but not over the inner end mount, holding it in place. Grooves are machined in a helical pattern on the cylindrical side wall of the end mount. The spring is wound onto the grooves of the end mount.

Separation Vessels For Use In Polymerization Processes And Methods For Cleaning Same

InactiveUS20120240960A1Reduce downtimeEasy and less-expensive to implementHollow article cleaningCleaning using toolsHigh pressureActuator
Both a system and method for cleaning a low pressure separation vessel of a high pressure polyethylene polymerization plant are provided. The system includes a polytetrafluoroethylene lining that covers the interior surfaces of the vessel, and a cover mounting assembly including an annular clamp for detachably mounting a cover over the vessel. The mounting assembly includes a clamp actuator for quickly securing and releasing the cover with respect to a top rim of the vessel. The vessel is drained of liquid polyethylene and allowed to cool to ambient temperature, thus creating a frozen ā€œskinā€ of polyethylene around the interior surfaces of the vessel. The clamp actuator releases the cover. The polyethylene skin is peeled off the interior sides the vessel and gathered up at the top to form a neck, thus peeling the polyethylene skin away from the polytetrafluoroethylene lining along with any degraded polymers or other impurities that have accumulated on the interior surfaces of the vessel.
