Title: Snap hinge and container lid
Inventor: FRANZEN HANS
IPC: B65D43/16
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a hinge which has a simple construction and can thus be produced in a cost-effective manner and changes from a first unstressed snap position into a second snap position when the two hinge components are displaced in the angle area of 90 DEG  to 180 DEG . Each hinge component (101, 102) is provided with a level hinge element (111, 112) and an offset roof surface element (7, 7') fixed therein. The hinge components are connected to each other by means of the roof surface elements (7, 7') in the hinge axis (10). Said elements are erected against each other. An intermediate element (121) is configured as a notch (120) in the roof surface elements (7, 7'). Said snap hinge can be arranged in a container lid.

Abstract: A method of modifying a polymeric material which comprises the steps of
activation-treatment and a hydrophilic polymer-treatment, or comprises the steps of
activation-treatment, a hydrophilic polymer-treatment, and monomer grafting in this order,
or comprises the step of a solvent-treatment followed by these steps. Thus, the
polymeric material, e.g., polyolefin, is improved in hydrophilicity, adhesion, etc. without

adhesion and other properties can be used in many applications where water absorption
and adhesion are required, such as an absorption material, e.g., a wiping/cleansing
material, a water retention material, a material for microorganism culture media, a
separator for batteries (or cells), a synthetic paper, a filter medium, a textile product for
clothing, a medical/sanitary/cosmetic supply, and reinforcing fibers for composite
