Abstract:
An impact beam having a polymer matrix and a metal reinforcing structure, the metal reinforcing structure including metal cords that can be made from metal elements having a diameter of 100 nullm or more. The polymer matrix can include a thermoplastic material and/or a fiber material, and the metal can be steel, and the metal cords can be parallel to each other. The polymer matrix can include two or more layers that can be made from the same or different material, one of which can be positioned around the surface of the metal cords and can have a mechanical bond with the cord. The invention also includes a method of making the impact beam.
Abstract:
A door comprising a flexible panel (10) of flexible profile plate material which is guided around guide means (11) from a closing position to an opened position is especially intended for closing garages. In order to enlarge the height clearance in the opened position of the door the flexible panel (10) assumes a substantially lying position in the opened state.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an impact-absorbing element for a vehicle, in particular a car, comprising: - a body comprising a thermoplastic polymer material; - an elongate reinforcing structure provided in the body and comprising a number of metal reinforcing cords extending substantially parallel and a number of positioning elements arranged between the cords for holding the metal reinforcing cords substantially mutually parallel before and during the manufacturing process. The positioning elements ensure that the cords remain correctly positioned before, during and after the manufacturing process despite the forces occurring in the manufacturing process.
Abstract:
Construction for separating two or more spaces, comprising: one or more frame parts (3) which are fixable to a wall part or to each other; a door part which is hingedly fixable to a frame part; one or more pane parts which are fixable in frame parts above and/or adjacently of the door part; and securing means (9) for holding the pane parts and/or the door part fixedly against the frame parts.
Abstract:
A frame of profiles (2) of U-shaped cross-section is clamped at a wall rim (1) bounding an opening in a wall by means of a clamping device (8). A paumelle (43) is fastened to the clamping device (8).
Abstract:
Sliding door provided with a door panel with means arranged along at least one horizontal edge thereof for guiding a sliding movement of the door, a jamb manufactured from a comparatively stiff material, connected to a vertical edge of the door panel and extending substantially over the whole height thereof, the dimensions of which jamb in transverse direction of the door correspond substantially with the thickness thereof.
