A thermoforming machine and a thermoforming method are provided, in particular for producing capsules for obtaining beverages. The capsules (C) are produced from a film (F) of thermoformable material by thermoforming one or more predefined portions (X) of the film. The one or more predefined portions (X) of the film of thermoformable material are pre-heated, i.e. they are heated before being subjected to thermoforming so as to minimize the probability that the film of thermoformable material tears or breaks during thermoforming or after thermoforming.

[Problem] To suppress changes in the recess depth and shape of a three-dimensional molded shape, and to form a uniform protective layer or ornamental layer along the surface of the molded shape. Also, to provide uniform application to the entire irregularly-formed surface and to suppress air pockets and partial defects of bonding. [Solution] In an adherend W having a three-dimensional molded portion in which a plurality of concavities and/or convexities are molded in a regular arrangement, a thermoplastic coating film larger than the area of an adhesion region is integrally adhered by a three dimensional decorative molding procedure in a predetermined adhesion region that includes the three-dimensional molded portion. The predetermined adhesion region includes all of the three-dimensional molded portion and covers more than half the perimeter of the adherend W in center cross-sectional view.

The aim of the invention is to further develop conventional devices for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, by a device for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element, which device comprises a support frame for gripping the film element relative to a shaping tool or to a component to be laminated, and having grippers for gripping the film element, which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the support frame, said device being characterized in that grippers are arranged in a multi-axially adjustable manner relative to the support frame in order to adapt the film element more precisely to a contour of the shaping tool or of the component to be laminated.

Methods and apparatuses for mounting a material (1) on a carrier (6) are provided. To this end, the material is arranged on a porous layer (2) of an air bearing arrangement (2, 3).

A resin sheet having hair-like bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of a base layer containing a thermoplastic resin, the surface with the hair-like bodies having a coefficient of friction, as measured according to KES, of 0.5 or more and 1.0 or less, a deviation of the coefficient of friction, as measured by KES, of 0.010 or more and 0.025 or less, and a deviation of roughness, as measured by KES, of 0.2 or more and 1.5 or less.

A bonding apparatus 1 bonds a film F to a workpiece W, and is provided with a box body B for gripping the film F, a lower vacuum chamber 32 and an upper vacuum chamber 22 demarcated by the film F, an air pressure adjustment device 5 for adjusting the air pressure in the vacuum chambers 22, 32, a movement mechanism 6 for moving the workpiece W, and a control device 7 for controlling the air pressure adjustment device 5 and the movement mechanism 6. The control device 7 reduces the pressure inside the vacuum chambers 22, 32 to a first pressure, then increases the pressure inside the upper vacuum chamber 22 to a second air pressure in a state in which the film F and the workpiece W are brought into contact, and then increases the pressure inside the vacuum chambers 22, 32 to atmospheric pressure.
