A construct for a hockey blade that includes a foam core. The foam core includes a first core face, a second core face, and a bottom core edge and a top core edge. Multiple pins are injected into the foam core, and one or more layers of resin preimpregnated tape are wrapped around the foam before forming a hockey blade structure in a heated mold.

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.

The first aspect of the present invention provides a foamed structure, comprising: a first foamed body extending in a first direction; a second foamed body extending in the first direction and facing the first foamed body with a gap interposed therebetween; and a reinforcement disposed in the gap between the first foamed body and the second foamed body, the reinforcement having an elongated shape, wherein the first foamed body has a portion overlapping with the second foamed body in the first direction view.

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.

Embodiments provide a method for forming a groove on a pile encapsulation jacket to form an interlocking joint on the pile encapsulation jacket. A spacer may be used to form the groove. First, a pile jacket laminate is formed on a mandrel surface. The pile jacket laminate may be partially cured to have a solid but sticky surface. The spacer may be placed on the pile jacket laminate. An additional layer of laminate may be formed on at least a portion of the pile jacket laminate and at least a portion of the spacer. The entire structure may be cured and the spacer may be removed. A groove is formed between the pile jacket laminate and the additional layer of laminate at a space previously occupied by the spacer. The groove has the same width as the portion of the spacer that was covered with the additional layer of laminate.

A handle supporting a mat roller head at an angle to the handle to make applying force to the adhesive acoustic damping mat easier in tight spaces. The angle is optionally adjustable. The roller head includes arms supporting a roller with a two-dimensionally corrugated surface to enable applying adhesive acoustic damping mats to irregular surfaces. Additionally, the roller head supports two LEDs to improve visibility of the workspace when adhesive acoustic damping mats are being applied. Power for the LEDs comes from batteries in a battery compartment in the handle. The screw-on battery compartment cap includes an ON/OFF switch. The handle has a top thumb rest and a bottom finger rest and has a partial tactile engagement surface.

An apparatus for manufacturing a surface-layered part comprises: a main support that supports a surface layer member to be placed under a base member; a pulling device arranged at a periphery of the main support, wherein the pulling device includes a pulling member that pulls an edge of the surface layer member, which is in a position away from the edge of the base member, outward with respect to the base member; a base member clamping device that fixedly clamps the surface layer member, having been pulled outward by the pulling member of the pulling device, against the main support via the base member placed over the surface layer member; and a relieving device that separates the pulling member from the edge of the surface layer member, which has been moved outward with respect to the base member by the pulling device, to allow the edge of the surface layer member to wrap around the edge of the base member by an elastic restoring force of the surface layer member, thereby integrating them; and a control device that drives and controls the base member clamping device, the pulling device, and the relieving device.

The present application discloses a bottle manufacturing method and a bottle, which comprises steps of: manufacturing a protection layer; printing an artwork on a surface of the protection layer; manufacturing a transparent layer; laminating the protection layer and the transparent layer having the artwork printed; arranging the protection layer and the transparent layer on a bottle body to make the artwork locate between the protection layer and the transparent layer. By printing the artwork between the protection layer and the transparent layer, the present application provides the artwork a good protection to prevent the artwork from worn, and makes the product a relatively high decoration quality.

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. The end piece has a spring-loaded flange mounting, wherein bias of springs pushes the flange mounting towards the tubular body and a closed position of the flange mounting, and air pressure inside the lining drum pushes the flange mounting away from the tubular body and towards an open position of the flange mounting.
