A process for producing a molded article involves providing a thin-walled, gas-permeable shell; filling the shell with a foamed pelletized material composed of a polymer; and welding the foamed pelletized material to obtain the molded article. Molded articles are obtainable or obtained by such a process, and can be used as a footwear sole, part of a footwear sole, a mattress, a seat cushion, an underlay, a grip, a protective film, a component in automobile interiors and exteriors, a gymnastics mat, a body protector, a trim element in automobile construction, a sound insulator, a vibration damper, a cushion, a bicycle saddle, a toy, a tire or part of a tire, a covering for a track and field surface, a covering for a sports hall or a pathway, a damping layer or a damping core in a sandwich element, or a packaging.

The present invention relates to a formwork system () comprising a form lining () and at least one shaped element () which is attached to the rear side () of the form lining (). The form lining () and the shaped element () have been produced by a 3D printing method. This is preferably carried out in a common 3D printing process, but the form lining () and the shaped element () can also be produced in separate 3D printing processes, with the shaped element () then being attached to the rear side () of the form lining (). This is effected using at least one first fastening element (). If, by contrast, the form lining () and the shaped element () have been produced in a common 3D printing process, the additional use of a first fastening element () for fastening the shaped element () to the form lining () is not required. According to the invention, the shaped element () and optionally the first fastening element () are attached to the rear side () of the form lining () in such a way that they do not touch or pierce the front side () of the form lining (). The present invention also relates to the use of such a formwork system (), for example in the production of structural elements made of concrete.

A manhole cover for manholes, sewer accesses or drainage channels, including a reinforcing element and a body made of plastic which is connected to the reinforcing element. The reinforcing element may be constructed from intersecting, vertically aligned elements. Corrugations may be formed in the reinforcing element. The reinforcing elements may be arched and may include an outer encircling strip and a central plate, which are each connected to the body made of plastic. The reinforcing element rests on a bearing surface on the manhole, sewer access or drainage channel when the manhole, sewer access or drainage channel is closed by means of the manhole cover. The body made of plastic includes ribs, which extend perpendicularly or at an angle of more than 45&#xb0; to the surface surrounding the manhole cover, sewer access or drainage channel when the manhole, sewer or drainage channel is closed.

Shaft cover for shafts, channel entrances, or drainage channels

Provided herein is a facade for a building, made up of composite elements, the composite elements respectively having an inner cover layer, a polymer foam layer as the core and an outer metallic cover layer, and are fastened to a supporting structure. Each composite element has at least two fastening regions, in one fastening region the composite elements are immovably connected to the supporting structure and in the other fastening regions the composite elements are displaceably connected to the supporting structure, or the composite elements resting with the ground-facing side on a mounting and all fastening regions displaceably connected to the supporting structure.

A console for joining a fa&#xe7;ade to a building wall (), including a metal wall part () for mounting on the building wall, a metal fa&#xe7;ade part () for joining to the fa&#xe7;ade, and a bridge part () that joins the fa&#xe7;ade part () to the wall part (), whereby the bridge part () includes a plastic material and it forms a heat barrier between the wall part () and the fa&#xe7;ade part () is provided. The bridge part is an injection-molded part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and in that the bridge part () is injection-molded around the wall part () and the fa&#xe7;ade part () so as to encapsulate them in certain areas.

A structure for absorbing energy from impacts thereon, the structure being plastically deformable by an impact, with, if appropriate, the possibility that it is at least to some extent disrupted. The structure can include a) ribs for reinforcement, the ribs arranged with respect to one another at an angle with respect to the axial direction such that on failure of a rib a force acting on the structure is immediately absorbed axially by another rib, b) ribs running axially, the ribs being in essence corrugated or of zigzag shape, c) at least one rib running axially in a first plane and connected to at least two ribs running axially in a second plane rotated with respect to the first plane. The structure includes, in the direction of impact, at least two layers, each of which has different compressibility properties and different failure properties.

Structure for absorbing energy

The invention relates to a module for absorbing energy from an impact to which the module () has been subjected, via deformation, comprising a core () made of a polymer foam with a density of at most 0.2 g/cmand with a compressive modulus of elasticity of at most 200 MPa measured to DIN EN 826, wherein the core () has an at least to some extent enclosing shell () made of a polymer material, and/or comprises an insert () made of a polymer material, where the density of the polymer material of the shell () and/or of the insert () is at most 2.0 g/cmand its tensile modulus of elasticity is at least 700 MPa, measured to DIN EN ISO 527.
