A flat laminate element made of thermoplastic is hot-formed in a two-stage method. In a first stage, the flat laminate which includes film(s) and/or panels(n) is placed on a flat frame-shaped pallet and is heated to a forming temperature in a heating zone between two flat heat screens in a contactless manner. The edge zone of the hot flat laminate element lies on the pallet such that the laminate piece cannot be clamped in a first laminate direction but rather can be slide on the pallet in this direction. Two non-flat rigid contours which are identical or largely identical act on two opposing parallel laminate edge sections uniaxially and perpendicularly to the laminate plane and only in the first laminate direction, i.e. monodirectionally, and shape the entire heated laminate element into a monodirectionally molded blank.

Impact protection plate for a vehicle comprising at least an impact layer with an outer surface for receiving the impact comprising at least one fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer layer, and whereby the impact protection plate further comprises a spacer layer comprising at least one thermoplastic polymer layer, formed in a 3-dimensional shape with one or more protrusions, and whereby the impact layer and spacer layer are at least over part of their surface materially connected to each other forming one or more cavities between the impact layer and the spacer layer.

A method for manufacturing a cellulose product, comprising the steps: dry forming a cellulose blank in a dry forming unit; arranging the cellulose blank in a forming mould; heating the cellulose blank to a forming temperature in the range of 100° C. to 200° C.; and pressing the cellulose blank in the forming mould with a forming pressure of at least 1 MPa.

A lamination workpiece molding device 1 includes a first mold 20 and a second mold 30. A second mold 30 includes a through-hole 32 that extends to be opened and positioned at a peripheral edge of a workpiece body 42, the through-hole 32 is connected to a first suction device 51 that sucks a sheet material 44, the lamination workpiece molding device 1 includes a control unit that sets suction forces of the first suction device 51 and a second suction device 52, the second mold 30 includes a box body 81 communicating with the through-hole 32, the first suction device 51 communicates with the through-hole 32 via the box body 81, and the box body 81 is configured to be able to prevent movement of gas between inside and outside of the box body 81 excluding a connection portion with the through-hole 32 and the first suction device 51.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cellulose product having a flat or non-flat product shape by a pressure moulding apparatus comprising a forming mould. The forming mould has a forming surface defining said product shape, The method comprises the steps of: arranging a cellulose blank containing less than 45 weight percent water in said forming mould; heating said cellulose blank to a forming temperature in the range of 100° C. to 200° C.; and pressing said cellulose blank by means of said forming mould with a forming pressure acting on the cellulose blank across said forming surface, said forming pressure being in the range of 1 MPa to 100 MPa.

The present invention aims to provide a luggage room board that reliably produces a cushioning effect during opening and closing operations, whereby the impact is not applied during the opening and closing operations. The luggage room board 1 includes the luggage room board main body 2 made of resin and is configured to be opened and closed. For example, a tape-shaped cushioning material (non-woven fabric) is attached to the luggage room board main body 2 along two sides orthogonal to a rotation center line serving as the rotation center of the opening and closing operations. At one of ends 20a of a non-woven fabric 20, a concave portion 30 is provided on a surface of the luggage room board main body 2 to which the non-woven fabric is attached, and the end 20a of the non-woven fabric 20 is attached so as to enter the concave portion 30. The concave portion 30 is formed such that a depth gradually increases toward the end 20a of the non-woven fabric 20. The depth of the concave portion 30 at the end 20a of the non-woven fabric 20 is approximately same as the thickness of the non-woven fabric 20 or larger than the thickness of the non-woven fabric. The concave portion 30 is provided at the end of the non-woven fabric 20 on a side of the rotation center line.

A method of forming a protective film on at least one electronic module is provided. The method includes the following steps. A protective material is disposed on at least one electronic module such that the protective material and the electronic modules are in contact with each other. The electronic modules and the protective material disposed on the electronic modules are disposed in a chamber, and a first ambient pressure is provided in the chamber. The protective material in the chamber is heated to a first temperature to soften the protective material disposed on the electronic modules. After the protective material is softened, a second ambient pressure greater than the first ambient pressure is provided in the chamber, wherein a gas in the chamber directly pressurizes the protective material such that the protective material conformally covers a top of the electronic modules. The protective material conformally covering the top of the electronic modules is heated to a second temperature to solidify the protective material conformally covering the top of the electronic modules to form a protective film conformally covering the top of the electronic modules.
