Abstract:
A method for the manufacturing of a component or a structural part made of polymeric material, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections and a system for carrying out said method. The method includes the injection moulding of a composite material comprising a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase comprising at least one promoter of carbonization adapted to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fibre filler adapted to direct the distribution and orientation of said dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix, in which the injection of the composite material into a mould arranged for forming the component or the structural part includes supplying the material in a spatially more-concentrated way at pre-established regions of the component or of the structural part designed for the incorporation of electrical devices or connections, and supplying the material in a spatially more spread-out way elsewhere.
Abstract:
A composite material for the realization of a component or a structural part, in particular for installation on-board a vehicle, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections, comprises a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase comprising at least one promoter of carbonization adapted to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fibre filler adapted to direct the distribution and orientation of the dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix.

Abstract:
A pedal unit for a motor vehicle comprises a base element (12) rotatable about an axis of oscillation (A) and intended to be connected with a control device of the motor vehicle, a pedal arm (50) articulated to the base element (12) about a first pin (62), a lever control member (40) articulated to the base element (12) about a second pin (60) and having an appendage (44) adapted to interfere with a counter element (B) of the motor vehicle as a result of an impact. Mutually slidable shaped formations (48, 58), respectively formed on mutually facing portions associated with the lever control member (40) and the pedal arm (50), allow the unit (10) to assume a first configuration in which the pedal arm (50) and the lever control member (40) constitute a unitary element together with the base element (12), and a second configuration in which the pedal arm (50) may rotate freely with respect to the base element (12).
Abstract:
A pedal unit for a motor vehicle comprises a swinging pedal arm (12), a base element (30) which may swing together with the pedal arm (12) in order to control a device of the motor vehicle, and a lever control member (56) movable with respect to the pedal arm (12), having an appendage (68) adapted to interfere with a counter element of the motor vehicle as a result of an impact. The pedal arm (12) is rotatable about a first pin (24, 27) and has a front opening (20), the base element (30) has a pair of slots (36) for the engagement of the first pin (24, 27) and another pair of slots (38) in which a second pin (64) engages. The first pin (24, 27) and the second pin (64) engages also respective holes (60, 62) of the lever member (56). A rotation of the lever member (56) causes the pins (24, 27, 64) to slide in the respective slots (36, 38) and the base element (30) to move in a position facing the front opening (20), in which the pedal arm (12) may rotate with respect to the base element (30).

Abstract:
The pedal (10) comprises a pedal arm (12) of plastic material having a tubular structure, with a first arm part (18) having an open cross-section and a second arm part (20) having an open cross-section, which arm parts are produced by moulding separately from each other and are joined to each other by welded joint so as to define the closed cross-section of the pedal arm (12). The pedal (10) further comprises a foot pad (14) that is wholly formed by the first arm part (18).
Abstract:
A tank comprising a first and a second half-shell comprising a hydrocarbon barrier layer made of a first material and a structural containment layer made of a second material is described, wherein the material of the barrier layer is EVOH and the material of the structural containment layer is a mixture of polyethylene, an agent for promoting bonding with EVOH and a carbon nanotube filler.
