An automated wrapping system for wrapping a substrate with a material includes a support and a nest mounted to the support that is configured to position the material between an outer portion of the substrate and the nest. The automated wrapping system also includes a material folding assembly positioned adjacent to the nest configured for movement between a rest position and an actuated position, wherein the movement of the material folding system to the actuated position engages and folds the free end portion of the material over the edge of the substrate and onto a part of the inner portion of the substrate while retaining the material against the edge of the substrate. An actuator connected to the material folding assembly moves the material folding assembly between the rest position and the actuated position.

An applying device (1) and an applying method that can speedily perform application of a film (F) on an application target surface (S) and improve a quality of a finish. The applying device (1) is provided with a film support portion (2) that supports the film (F). The film support portion (2) is provided with a first support body and a second support body lined up in a first direction (Y), a film fixing mechanism that is provided on the first support body and the second support body and fixes the film along the first direction, and a first angle changing mechanism that changes an angle around an axis line extending so as to intersect the first direction between the first support body and the second support body. The invention also concerns a film applied to an application target surface.

A method for manufacturing a sanitary cover for a beverage can and relates to a technique for forming a cutting line along a circumferential surface of a sanitary cover while the sanitary cover is covering a beverage can, thereby maximizing the production efficiency of the sanitary cover having improved functionality. Also, the technique which, in three-dimensionally forming a cutting line as such, can carry out the process of forming the cutting line easily and rapidly via a simple structure, thereby increasing the production efficiency even further.

A method can be used to attach a fabric member to a trim while forming a pattern in the fabric member. A trim has trim grooves formed in one side of the trim and a fabric member has a foam formed in one side of a skin material of the fabric member. A bonding member is coated to an outer surface of the foam and the fabric member is heated where the bonding member is coated. The heated fabric member is placed on the side of the trim where the trim grooves are formed. The fabric member is fixed to the trim by inserting edges of the fabric member into the trim grooves using insertion blades while pattern protrusions formed in a compression jig form a pattern by pressing the skin material of the fabric member.

A high-pressure tank includes a container main body (10) constituted of a body (11) and dome portions (12) disposed on both ends of the body, and a reinforcing layer (20) formed such that a fiber member is wound around an outer periphery of the container main body. The reinforcing layer includes a hoop winding layer (40) formed by hoop winding that winds the fiber member such that a winding angle is approximately perpendicular to a central axis of the body, and a high helical winding layer (30) formed by high helical winding that winds the fiber member such that a winding angle is inclined with respect to the central axis compared with the hoop winding, and the high helical winding layer extends to the dome portion. The high helical winding layer includes a thick portion having a thickness at an outer side part of a boundary position between the body and the dome portion, which thickness is thicker than a thickness at a part positioned on the body. The hoop winding layer is formed from the body to the dome portion where the thick portion is formed, as a layer at an outer diameter side of the high helical winding layer.

A filament winding device includes a supporter configured to support a liner in a rotatable manner; a yarn supplying unit configured to support bobbins; a helical winding head configured to helical-wind a fiber bundles onto the liner; and a standard thread guiding mechanism configured to form a standard thread guide channel that guides a standard thread from the bobbins to the liner, the standard thread being different from the fiber bundles and being connected to leading ends of the fiber bundles, the standard thread guiding mechanism including nozzles configured to blow the standard thread with a compressed gas, and guide tubes configured to guide the standard thread blown by the nozzles, and the nozzles and the guide tubes being disposed along a fiber bundle guide channel, and capable of taking up the standard thread from the standard thread guide channel to the fiber bundle guide channel.

The application relates to a method for producing a double-walled pipe (1) and a pipe (1) of this type, hating an outer pipe (3) which is press-fitted with an inner pipe (2) consisting of a corrosion-resistant alloy, wherein an adhesive (4) is inserted at least in regions between the outer pipe (3) and the inner pipe (2), wherein, after adhering the inner pipe (2) with the outer pipe (3), the inner pipe (2) and the adhesive layer (4) are removed at the pipe ends, and the inner side of the outer pipe (3) is plated via an integral connection with the inner pipe (2).

An additively manufactured component includes a planar sheet and a coating applied to the planar sheet to form the component. The component is configured for attachment to a non-planar surface of a workpiece.

A method can be used to attach a fabric member to a trim while forming a pattern in the fabric member. A trim has trim grooves formed in one side of the trim and a fabric member has a foam formed in one side of a skin material of the fabric member. A bonding member is coated to an outer surface of the foam and the fabric member is heated where the bonding member is coated. The heated fabric member is placed on the side of the trim where the trim grooves are formed. The fabric member is fixed to the trim by inserting edges of the fabric member into the trim grooves using insertion blades while pattern protrusions formed in a compression jig form a pattern by pressing the skin material of the fabric member.
