A protective member attaching apparatus includes a pressure reduction chamber having an upper housing and a lower housing, a support table that is provided inside the lower housing and on which a substrate is mounted, a sheet fixing section for fixing the sheet in such a manner as to partition the inside space of the pressure reduction chamber into a first space and a second space, a heating unit that heats the sheet to soften the sheet, and a control unit. The sheet fixing section has an outer periphery fixing section that fixes an outer periphery of the sheet, and a temporary fixing section that temporarily fixes a central portion of the sheet to the substrate mounted on a support table through a gap between the sheet and the substrate.

A cage can be positioned around a medical balloon, such as an angioplasty balloon, to assist in a medical procedure. The cage can include a plurality of strips, each extending between a set of rings including first and second rings. As the balloon expands, the first and second rings move closer together and allow the strips to expand outward. The cage may have wedge dissectors on the strips.

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.

An apparatus for attaching a protective film to a film attachment target includes a protective film guide around which a protective film is wound in a roll form; a protective film unwinding roller configured to unwind the protective film from the protective film guide; a vacuum suction guide configured to vacuum-suction one end of the unwound protective film, and to transfer the vacuum-suctioned one end of the protective film to a corresponding end of an area of the film attachment target; a pressing means configured to: press and attach the vacuum-suctioned end of the protective film to the corresponding end of the area of the film attachment target; and then press and attach the protective film to a remaining area of the film attachment target while moving and pressing an area of the protective film overlapping the remaining area; and a cutter for cutting the protective film.

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 device for coating of workpieces, which preferably includes, at least in sections, wood, wooden materials, plastics, aluminium or the like. The device includes a feed device for feeding a coating material, a pressing device for pressing the coating material onto a surface of the workpiece, a conveyor device for causing a relative motion between the pressing device and the respective workpiece, and a first joining device for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material fed by the feed device and/or a surface to be coated of the workpiece. The device further includes at least a second joining device for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material fed by the feed device and/or a surface to be coated of the workpiece.

The invention concerns a device (1) for the coating of workpieces (2) which preferably consist, at least in sections, of wood, wooden materials, plastics, aluminium or the like, comprising: a feed means (10) for feeding a coating material (12), a pressing means (20) for pressing the coating material (12) onto a surface (2a) of a workpiece (2), a conveyor means (4) for causing a relative motion between the pressing means (20) and the respective workpiece (2), and a first joining means (30; 50) for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material (12) fed by the feed means (10) and/or a surface to be coated of the workpiece (2), characterized in that the device further comprises at least a second joining means (40; 60) for applying and/or activating an adhesive agent on a coating material (12) fed by the feed means (10) and/or a surface to be coated of a workpiece (2).

To provide an insulating tape for covering, in which a polyimide film and a fluorinated resin film are laminated with excellent adhesion, and a method for producing a structure, which comprises covering a conductor with such an insulating tape for covering, followed by thermal treatment. The insulating tape for covering, comprises a polyimide film and a fluorinated resin film directly laminated on one or both surfaces of the polyimide film, wherein the fluorinated resin film contains a fluorinated copolymer (A) which has a melting point of from 220 to 320 C. and can be melt-molded and which has at least one type of functional groups selected from the group consisting of carbonyl group-containing groups, hydroxy groups, epoxy groups and isocyanate groups.

A Corrosion Inhibiting Sprayable Thermoplastic (CIST) cover is formed by spraying melted CIST onto a mold, allowing the CIST to cure, removing the cured cover from the mold using a series of cuts if necessary, positioning the cover on a mechanical assembly whose shape is significantly identical to the mold, and fusing the cuts on the cover using heat to reform the cover on the mechanical assembly.
