Abstract
Abstract By means of a piston-like movement, solid fillings, for example of mineral fibers or steel wool, introduced in the pressureless zone of a screw are incorporated in the molten plastic and the resulting mixture formed in a mold. The finished molding contains numerous fillings greater than 2 mm in length which inter alia contribute significantly towards improving its strength.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
An injection molded plastic article containing solid fillings which consist essentially of lubricate-free fillings wherein more than 30% by weight of which have a minimum length of greater than 4 mm said fillings selected from the group consisting of carbon, aramide, asbestos, metal, glass and mineral fibers and said plastic article being produced by a process in which lubricant-free fillings are introduced into a screw in an injection molding apparatus in a region, where the plastic is in a plasticized form and the pressures are nearly the same, and are then incorporated by shearing, characterized in that shearing of the fillings of fiber-like, thread-like, ribbon-like or sheet-form materials and their incorporation into the plastic is intensified by a piston-like movement of the screw, after which the plastic is injected into a closed mold by means of a piston.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
An injection molded plastic article containing solid fillings which consist essentially of lubricate-free fillings wherein more than 30% by weight of which have a minimum length of greater than 4 mm said fillings selected from the group consisting of carbon, aramide, asbestos, metal, glass and mineral fibers and said plastic article being produced by a process in which lubricant-free fillings are introduced into a screw in an injection molding apparatus in a region, where the plastic is in a plasticized form and the pressures are nearly the same, and are then incorporated by shearing, characterized in that shearing of the fillings of fiber-like, thread-like, ribbon-like or sheet-form materials and their incorporation into the plastic is intensified by a piston-like movement of the screw, after which the plastic is injected into a closed mold by means of a piston.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A molding as claimed in claim 1 wherein the fillings are at least partly electrically conductive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A molding as claimed in claim 2, wherein the electrically conductive fillings are connected with one another as resistance wires.
