Abstract
The invention relates to recycling polymeric articles, in particular plastic receptacles and can be used for reutilizing plastic receptacles made of a heat-shrinkable material. The inventive method for reutilizing plastic receptacles consists in cutting said receptacles into hole-type elements in the form of small tubes and cylinders in order to use them afterwards as heat-shrinkable elements for coating and/or connecting construction elements by heat shrinkage while producing elongated articles which are used mainly as construction and/or advertising elements.
Claims25
A method for reutilising plastic receptacles made of the material possessing heat-shrinkage properties, wherein hole-type heat-shrinkable elements are made by cutting plastic receptacles and used for coating the surface of structural elements and/or for connecting structural elements together in the process of transforming the structural elements into articles, with hole-type heat-shrinkable elements and structural elements being arranged relative to each other in such a way that hole-type elements are positioned as external elements, while structural elements are positioned as internal elements in the process of coating and/or connecting, and further hole-type heat-shrinkable elements are mounted at the place of coating and/or connection by heat shrinking the latter until the contact is reached with the surface being coated and/or with the surface of the structural elements being connected.
An article, used mainly as a construction and/or advertising element, comprising hole-type and/or solid mainly cylindrical and/or prismatic structural elements with smoothly mating faces, wherein in said article the structural elements are oriented relative to each other end-to-end and connected together by means of at least one hole-type heat-shrinkable element, with hole-type heat-shrinkable elements, produced by cutting plastic receptacles made of heat-shrinkable material, being used as hole-type heat-shrinkable elements.
An article in any claims 13-22, wherein the article is provided with connective elements mounted on ends or side surface, each comprising a base and any conventional fastening member rigidly connected thereto, with the base having the shape corresponding to that of the end or side surface of the article and connected with the article using hole-type heat-shrinkable elements.
