Abstract:
In one aspect, the invention provides a laminating pouch. The laminating pouch includes first and second plies bonded by a pre-sealed edge. The laminating pouch also includes indicia in the pre-sealed edge that correspond to a property of the laminating pouch. The laminating pouch is configured to receive an article between the first and second plies and laminate the article when processed in a laminator.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing adhesive tapes which are adhesive at least on one side, wherein an adhesive tape web, in which the at least one adhesive side is covered by a first liner 1, is guided into a cutting device in which a total of N individual adhesive tape strips 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 located next to one another are produced in the machine direction from the adhesive tape web, in particular without loss, without the first liner 1 being damaged. Every other adhesive tape strip 2, 4, 6 or 3, 5, 7 is removed from the first liner 1 and is applied to a second liner 8 in each case having a spacing a between the individual adhesive tape strips 2, 4, 6 or 3, 5, 7, the first liner 1 and the second liner 8 are cut between the adhesive tape strips 2, 4, 6 or 3, 5, 7, respectively, located on the first liner 1 and on the second liner 8, and the individual adhesive tapes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, together with the liner strips, are wound up in a total of N rolls in the form of an Archimedean spiral.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing the cushioning elements may include utilizing a die with a plurality of die elements positioned in a particular arrangement. A polymer material, which may be a polymer foam material, is located between the die and an extractor. The polymer material is compressed between the die and the extractor, and the die elements cut the polymer material to form a plurality of pad components, which are arranged like the die elements. The die and the extractor are separated, and the pad components are secured to the extractor in the arrangement of the die elements. Additionally, the pad components are bonded to at least one material layer such that the pad components remain in the arrangement of the die elements.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of forming a board from a number of substantially planar layers, including the steps of a) ensuring a layer is positioned substantially in a horizontal plane; and b) applying adhesive to the layer; and c) moving the layer to a holding station; and d) holding the layer horizontally against another layer within the holding station; and e) repeating steps a) to d) until a stack of layers is formed having a height substantially equivalent to the desired width of the board to be formed; the method characterised by the step of f) removing the stack from the holding device once the layers have had sufficient time to bond to each other.
Abstract:
A fiberboard panel is formed from at least one corrugated sheet of molded cellulose fiber material having alternating ribs and grooves. Spaced slits are cut through the ribs on one face of the sheet and terminate short of the opposite face so as to form at least one slotted portion of more flexibility which may be bent to form a curve. The corrugated sheet is sandwiched between two flat sheets of the same material to form a composite panel. The corrugated sheet or panel is formed by a wet processing method including successive cold and hot press steps in which a wet mat is pressed between an opposing perforated platen and non-perforated, elastomeric material platen of cross-sectional shape substantially matching the desired panel shape and dimensions.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for preparing a pre-form comprising at least two layers of fibre tows (6), these layers being at least partly fixed by a resin (11). The method comprising steps of providing a work surface (3), and alternating distribution of layers of resin (11) and layers of fibre tows (6).
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a flooring product with integrated circuitry, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of pieces (6), stacking said pieces on top of each other, displaced in relation to each other to form an offset stack (10), and compressing said offset stack to form said flooring product. The method further comprises arranging flexible circuitry (7) on an upper surface of at least one piece, so that, when said pieces are stacked, a first portion (7a) of flexible circuitry on the at least one piece is exposed, said first portion (7a) including circuitry for interacting with the environment. By arranging the circuitry in the flooring during such a manufacturing process, a flooring product is achieved where only a portion of the circuitry is exposed, and another portion is embedded in the flooring. This allows for exposing those parts of the circuitry that are adapted to interact with the surrounding environment, such as optical components, pressure sensitive components, acoustic components, etc.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus (10) for manufacturing multiple layer composite structures and structures containing components made of multiple layer composite structures, comprising dispensing (5) layers of composite material, trimming (3) each layer to its final shape as it is being dispensed, and positioning it properly with respect to prior layers in the part lay-up.
