Title: Method for fixing images in plastics, adhesive layer, and fixed image
Inventor: SCHAEFER KONSTANZE
IPC: B29C45/14
Filed: 2008-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fixing images in plastics, and to fixed images.  The object of the invention is to provide a method for fixing images in plastic moldings which allows images to be fixed in a plastic molding in such a way that the image is embedded therein and does not experience lasting changes, even for elastic plastic moldings. The intent is to avoid loss of image quality when the image is transferred into the plastic molding. The object is achieved by use of a method for fixing images in plastic moldings after generating an image on an adhesive layer, characterized in that an image receptor layer of liquid plastic is applied to the image which, with or without an additional carrier, has been generated on the adhesive layer, and components of the adhesive layer are at least partially miscible with the liquid plastic when it is applied, and the liquid plastic phase is then converted to a solid plastic phase.

Title: Wheel disassembly safety system
Inventor: MARSALY OLIVIER
IPC: B60B25/22
Filed: 2010-07-30
Abstract: The instant invention relates to a wheel disassembly safety system for a multipiece wheel rim (3 and 4) and tubeless tire combination, teaching designs for automatically relieving/releasing pressure as part of its disassembly. Fastening elements (6) used to hold together portions of a wheel rim are provided with a blocking device (20) that prevents loosening and/or removal of the fastening elements until said blocking device is first moved from a blocking position, where movement of the blocking device from its blocking position directly or indirectly opens or requires the opening of a pressure relief channel or channels (23) - allowing, enabling and effecting depressurization of the sealed pressure vessel. This blocking or safety device, typically in the form of a ring, covers all or a critical portion of the nuts/studs (6) that hold the two wheel pieces together. The act of removing this blocking device so as to access and remove the nuts from the studs to disassemble the wheel, opens an air channel in communication with the tire interior so as to allow pressure to escape from the tire interior.
