This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

A screen protector application device including a holder frame having an upper surface, a lower surface, and travel slots. A head grip protrudes from the upper surface of the holder frame at a first end. Side guides protrude from the upper surface of the holder frame along the sides. A sliding foot includes a foot grip protruding from the upper surface of the holder frame at a second end and sliding legs slidably disposed within the travel slots. At least one spring biases the sliding foot towards the head grip. The device further includes a track and an applicator. The applicator includes a handle, a roller rotatably coupled to the handle, and a slide. The slide is slidably engaged with the track such that the applicator slides along a length the holder frame with the roller disposed above the upper surface of the holder frame.

A lining drum which has a tubular body having open ends, an inlet for compressed air and an outlet for liner is disclosed. The lining drum has end pieces removably attached to the tubular body for closing the open ends of the tubular body, a rotatable shaft inside the tubular body and a crank for rotating the shaft. An elastic fastener has a first end in operative engagement with the tubular body and a second end in operative engagement with the end piece. The second end is opposite the first end. The end piece is movable between a closed position and an open position by extending the elastic fastener against an elastic biasing force of the elastic fastener. The end piece and the tubular body has a gap defined therebetween when the end piece is in the open position.

The invention discloses an equipment for sticking plastic parts of long rods, which includes a casing. The casing is provided with a clamping cavity. The clamping cavity is provided with a clamping device for clamping a fixed component and driving the component to rotate. A glue sticking box is slidably connected to the upper end surface of the chassis. The glue sticking box is provided with a glue sticking cavity communicating with the clamping cavity. The glue sticking cavity is provided with a tape for pulling out and pasting the tape. To the glue applying device on the part, a power device located behind the glue applying device is provided in the glue applying chamber, and the power device is used to drive the movement of the glue applying device. A cutting device located on the left side of the gluing device, and a supply device for storing and supplying adhesive tape on the left side of the cutting device is provided in the gluing chamber. The invention can realize automatic gluing of long-rod plastic parts. Can set different glue length, and more convenient to install and remove parts.

A device for installing a screen protector to an electronic device that includes a screen protector unit having a release film, a screen protector, and a protection film wherein the release film has a release tab, the protection film has at least one protection tab where the protection tab includes a hole formed therein; a tray having a panel, at least one alignment protrusion that fits the hole, a guide hole to allow external pressure to be applied onto the screen protector unit when the screen protector unit and the electronic device are received in the tray; and an adhesive strip, via the guide hole, further secures the screen protector unit to the tray.
