The present disclosure relates to the field of apparatuses for manufacturing a display. It discloses an apparatus for sticking cloth, including: a rack; a workbench arranged on the rack; a roller frame arranged above the workbench and provided with a pair of clamps which are configured to clamp a rubbing roller onto which a cloth will be stuck; a horizontal moving mechanism mounted on the rack and configured to drive the roller frame to move horizontally; and a heating pad mounted on the workbench and configured to heat a rubbing cloth and a double sided adhesive tape. By means of heating the rubbing cloth and the double sided adhesive tape by the heating pad, the air bubbles on the surface of the rubbing roller may be reduced to optimize the rubbing alignment process. The present disclosure also provides a method for sticking cloth.

Various implementations include a method of curing of thermoset resin. The method includes disposing one or more thermoset resin layers in a layup; disposing one or more heaters in the layup, wherein each of the one or more heaters includes two electrodes, wherein the two electrodes of each of the one or more heaters are couplable to an external electricity source when the one or more heaters are disposed in the layup; and providing enough electricity to the electrodes of each of the one or more heaters to cause the one or more heaters to heat the layup to fully cure the one or more thermoset resin layers to form a cured laminate.

The present invention relates to devices with which, for example, narrow surfaces of preferably plate-like workpieces can be provided with a coating material. The device includes a laser for outputting a laser beam to a laser beam emitter, wherein the laser beam is directed onto the coating material or onto the workpiece in such a manner that the laser beam forms a plane of reference with solder on the surface of the coating material or the workpiece.

The invention relates to an apparatus for laminating a film part, in particular a decorative layer, on a carrier part having a laminating region in which the film part can be laminated onto the carrier part, in particular onto a motor vehicle interior trim part, having an edge region arranged adjacent to this laminating region in which the film part projects beyond the carrier part in order to produce a bend-around region on the film part which can subsequently be bent around a carrier part edge, and having a tool in which the tool comprises a first tool half for producing a surface design on the film part and a second tool half for receiving the carrier part, wherein the first tool half comprises thermally differently acting sub-regions, namely a first sub-region with a contour for the surface design which interacts with the laminating region and a thermal sub-region which interacts with the edge region adjacent to the laminating region.

A method for beautifying a balsa wood model aircraft with a thermal shrink covering film, so that the balsa wood model aircraft with a thermal shrink covering film is obtained. This method makes a model aircraft colorful, reduces labor costs, improves the beautifying and painting effect of the model aircraft, and also improves the pneumatic performance of the model aircraft.

The layered graphic decal arrow consists of an arrow base, decal, and a finishing layer. Two separate curing processes are used to create the arrow to prevent adhesive from penetrating the decal thereby degrading the visual appeal of the arrow. The decal is applied to the arrow base, or printed on the arrow base, then flashed at a first temperature then cured at a second temperature. After cooling the arrow, a finishing layer is applied to the arrow. A uniform pressure is applied around the finishing layer to hold it in place while curing. After curing, the uniform pressure is removed, the arrow is polished to remove undesired markings and the arrow is cut to the desired length. In an alternative embodiment, the finish layer is a polymer coating applied to the arrow without the need for uniform pressure.

A transfer laminate (35), comprising a carrier film having an adhering decorative element having a solid, pigmented, partially cured decorative layer, is laminated on the decoration side onto a substrate (40) having a temperature between 50 and 70° C. on the decoration side, on which substrate a coating that can be painted over has been applied in the course of a traditional process. The paint layer of the coating that was applied last is still moist and tacky after the intermediate drying thereof. The transfer laminate (35) is laminated onto the still moist and tacky paint layer on the substrate (40), and at least the region of the transfer laminate (35) containing the decorative element is pressed onto the substrate coating over the entire area at a pressure of 0.2 to 5.0 bar for 40 to 240 seconds. Then the carrier film is quickly cooled to a temperature less than 20° C. and then removed from the substrate coating, wherein the decorative element remains on the substrate coating. The device for transfer lamination forms an applicator (10), which comprises: two flexible membranes (20, 22), which are both clamped pressure-tight on a common frame (12) along the perimeter of the membranes in such a way that an intermediate space is created therebetween, in which a flexible warm—or hot-water layer (27) can be enclosed; a chamber (30), which can be filled with compressed air, wherein overall such an arrangement is created that a gradual introduction of compressed air into the chamber (30) moves the two flexible membranes (20, 22) and the flexible warm—or hot-water layer (27) jointly in the manner of a balloon onto the substrate surface (42) to be coated in order to apply the transfer laminate (35) to and press the transfer laminate onto said substrate surface (42) without bubbles.

A gripper is disclosed for a draping frame having a gripper chassis and at least two opposing mutually movable gripper jaw elements for gripping a film element. The gripper jaw elements are provided on a gripper head part of the gripper. The gripper head part of the gripper is movably mounted, at least with one degree of freedom, relative to the gripper chassis.

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).

Aspects of the disclosure relate to envelopes for aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may include an envelope including a plurality of gores. The aerial vehicle may also include a seal arranged between a pair of the plurality of gores, the seal including six layers of envelope material heat-sealed together.
