Abstract:
Multi-layer protective sheets of the invention are useful in a range of indoor and outdoor applications in, for example, the transportation, architectural and sporting goods industries. In one embodiment, a multi-layer protective sheet comprises at least one defect-free carrier layer. In another embodiment, a multi-layer protective sheet comprises an in-situ polymerized carrier layer. In yet another embodiment, a multi-layer protective sheet comprises a carrier layer having a peak loss factor of at least about 0.5 when tested as a standalone film according to the Loss Factor Test Method described herein.
Abstract:
Finishing system for a 3D printed object involves applying a film to an outer surface of the object in order to hide surface artifacts associated with the 3D printing process that created the object.
Abstract:
An application method of applying a film F having a main portion 71, an extended portion 72 connected to a first end 71x of the main portion 71, and an extended portion 73 connected to a second end 71y opposing the first end 71x in the main portion 71 to a base material by an application device having an application mechanism, including the steps of: pressing the extended portion 72 using the application mechanism; applying the main portion 71 to the base material by moving the application mechanism that presses the extended portion 72 from the extended portion 72 to the extended portion 73 via the main portion 71; and stopping the application mechanism moved to the extended portion 73 and separating the application mechanism from the extended portion 73.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a vehicle window component and a vehicle window component, wherein the method for manufacturing the vehicle window comprises: providing a vehicle window substrate (100, 200) and an elastic body (110, 210); adhering the elastic body (110, 210) to a surface of the vehicle window substrate (100, 200), wherein the surface is close to a lateral side of the vehicle window substrate (100, 200); and implementing an injection molding process for forming an encapsulation (120, 220), wherein the injection molding process is performed at an injection molding temperature lower than a melting temperature of the elastic body (110, 210). The method for manufacturing a vehicle window component and the vehicle window component may have no shrink mark.
Abstract:
Provided are adhesive articles and assemblies that include a flat and at least partially elastic backing along with a patterned adhesive coating on each side of the backing. When viewed from directions perpendicular to the backing, the adhesive on one side of the backing does not substantially overlap the adhesive on the opposing side of the backing. As a result, it is possible to use a stretch removable adhesive article that uses, for example, an aggressive adhesive to provide a reliable bond but still remove cleanly and easily from delicate substrates that would otherwise be damaged or destroyed if bonded with conventional adhesive constructions.
Abstract:
Layers of an item may be temporarily assembled using a tacky surface on an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may be activated by the application of energy to cause it to partially or entirely melt to bond layers together. The tacky layer may permit layers to be moved after initial positioning if the positioning is not acceptable. A tacky layer may cover all or part of the surface of an adhesive layer to permit the adhesive to flow without hindrance when activated.
Abstract:
The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, relates a method of manufactuπng an animal chew by molding two body portions of a first mateπal each having at least one concave surface and one or more through holes, attaching the two portions together such that the concave surfaces face one another to form a hollow body portion, injecting a second mateπal into the hollow body portion to fill at least a portion of the hollow body and form areas of exposed regions of the second mateπal by filling the one or more through holes In a second exemplary embodiment, the two portions may have the concave surfaces over-molded with a second mateπal which fills the holes In a third exemplary embodiment, a separate shape of a second mateπal may be molded in a configuration having dimensions complementary to the two half portion and holes when the portions are combined
Abstract:
A carpet tape dispenser serves for underneath a piece of carpet (2) depositing at least a part of the width of a length of adhesive tape (4) unwound from a roll (15) of tape (4) while the dispenser simultaneously is displaced into a dispensing direction along the edge (24) of the piece of carpet (2) placed on a floor (3. The carpet tape dispenser comprises a frame (8), a holder (13) for rotatably supporting the roll (15) of tape (4), and at least one holding-down device (22) for forcing the tape (4) downwards against the floor (3). The holder (13) for supporting the roll (15) of tape (4) is offset in relation to the edge (24) of the piece of carpet (2), and guide means (26,29) is provided for guiding tape (4) from the roll (15) placed in the holder (13) into the dispensing direction. By means of the invention can juxtaposed edges of two adjacent pieces of carpet easily and quickly be joined together without damaging the edges and with a perfect appearance of the finished join as result.
