A frangible laminate includes first, second and third webs, and the second web is positioned between the first and third webs. The forming of the frangible laminate includes adhesively bonding a first plurality of sections of the second web to the first web, applying release material in order to inhibit at least some of any bonding between the first plurality of sections of the second web and the third web, and adhesively bonding a second plurality of sections of the second web to the third web. The frangible laminate is separated into a first laminate and a second laminate, so that the first laminate includes the first web and the first plurality of sections of the second web, and the second laminate includes the third web and the second plurality of sections of the second web.

The present invention relates to a peeling bar, apparatus, and method for peeling a polarizing film from a panel. This invention can minimize friction between the peeling bar and the polarizing film since the peeled polarizing film is in contact with a main roller of the peeling bar. The radius of the main roller of the peeling bar and the inclined surface of the fixing unit are designed to minimize the Z-axis component of a shearing force applied to the polarizing film. Also, in order to equalize tension applied to the polarizing film in a peeling process, this invention makes both ends of the polarizing film closely adhere to the peeling bar. According to this invention, fracture of the polarizing film is prevented, and thereby the polarizing film can be stably peeled from the panel without fracture.

A method for manufacturing a display device includes a stage; a first guide unit positioned on one side of the stage in a first direction and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; and a first peeling unit disposed on the first guide unit, wherein the first peeling unit includes a first moving part configured to move along the first guide unit, a first rotating part coupled to the other side of the first moving part in the first direction and configured to rotate about an axis extending in the first direction, and a first gripping part coupled to the other side of the first rotating part in the first direction and disposed to overlap the stage.

There is provided a component supply device for supplying a component to a component mounter, including: a transporter that transports a carrier tape in which the component is stored and of which an upper surface is sealed with a cover tape, along a transport path; a peeler that peels off the cover tape from the carrier tape via an opening portion disposed above the transport path; and a cover that makes an open state of the opening portion variable. The cover sets the open state of the opening portion to be any of a first open state allowing the peeler to capture the cover tape and a second open state where an opening size of the opening portion is smaller than that of the first open state and passage of the cover tape peeled off from the carrier tape is not impeded.

A film separation system for use in separating a removable film adhered to a ply of material positioned on a work surface. The film separation system includes a holding member configured to hold the ply of material on the work surface, a movable arm configured to translate relative to the work surface, and a rotatable brush coupled to the movable arm. The movable arm is configured to translate the rotatable brush towards an edge of the ply of material, and the rotatable brush is oriented relative to the ply of material such that, when rotated, the rotatable brush is configured to bias the removable film away from the work surface, thereby creating a region of separation between the ply and the removable film.

A film transfer tool has a case main body, a supply bobbin drive shaft driving a supply bobbin holding an unused transfer tape therearound, a take-up bobbin drive shaft driving a take-up bobbin taking up a used portion of the transfer tape therearound, a rotational coupling mechanism coupling the supply bobbin drive shaft and the take-up bobbin drive shaft together rotationally, and a reverse rotation preventive mechanism preventing a reverse rotation of the rotational coupling mechanism. The reverse rotation preventive mechanism has a rolling gear coupled to a rotational system made up of the supply bobbin drive shaft, the take-up bobbin drive shaft and the rotational coupling mechanism, moving gears moving over a predetermined range around the rolling gear and meshing with the rolling gear, and locking projections disposed to confront a reverse rotating direction of the rolling gear to lock the moving gears.

A winding device includes: a separation unit that separates sheets layered and simultaneously transported; a winding unit that winds one of the sheets separated by the separation unit; and a pressure contact unit that presses the one of the sheets wound by the winding unit from outside of the wound sheet toward the winding unit.

Methods for removing a fiber-reinforced wrap from a fan casing are provided. The method may include heating the fiber-reinforced wrap while on a metal support (e.g., aluminum, steel, etc.) of the fan casing, unwinding a layer of the fiber-reinforced wrap from the fan casing, and winding the layer of the fiber-reinforced wrap onto a collection drum. The fiber-reinforced wrap may heated to a temperature of about 120 C. to about 200 C. (e.g., about 125 C. to about 185 C.). Systems are also generally provided for removing a fiber-reinforced wrap from a fan casing.

A temporary tape removal apparatus that includes: a chassis having fixed and guiding wheels; a boom arm extending outward from the chassis and being movable between up and down and side to side positions; a spool assembly including a rotatable spool for winding used temporary tape thereon mounted on the boom arm; and controllable drive means to rotate the rotatable spool. Using the apparatus to remove lane marking tape from pavements involves moving the temporary tape removal apparatus along a pavement having a length of lane marking tape thereon, and pulling the lane marking tape off the pavement by winding the tape onto the spool. Single lines of tape can be removed and multiple lines of tape can simultaneously be removed. The removed tape is spooled on disposable cores for disposal.
