A protective cover plate includes an ultra-thin glass layer and at least one thermoplastic protective film. The ultra-thin glass layer has two main surfaces opposite to each other. At least one main surface in the two main surfaces is coated with a thermoplastic protective film in the at least one thermoplastic protective film.

In a laminating apparatus, a first roll is mountable on a first holder. A first conveying roller is configured to hold a first drawn-out portion of a first member that has been drawn out from the first roll. A controller is configured to perform: applying, using a first rotary drive portion, a first force to the first holder; and applying, using a second rotary drive portion, a second force to the first conveying roller. When driving, in a state where the first conveying roller holds the first drawn-out portion, the second rotary drive portion to apply the second force to rotate the first conveying roller for conveying the first drawn-out portion in a draw-out direction, the controller drives the first rotary drive portion to apply the first force to act on the first holder for urging the first drawn-out portion to be conveyed in a take-up direction.

A method of manufacturing a cover film includes: sequentially arranging, on a protective film that is parallel to a plane defined by a first direction and a second direction, an adhesive layer and a first release paper in a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction, kiss-cutting a portion of the first release paper along a first cutting line, arranging a second release paper on the adhesive layer exposed by removing the portion of the first release paper, and full-cutting the protective film and the adhesive layer in an outer edge shape of a protection target along a third cutting line spaced apart from the first cutting line.

A laminator is configured for increasing the force of adhesion between an electrode and a separator upon forming a unit structural body. The laminator is configured for heating a unit structural body sheet that includes an electrode and a separator in a stacked state and a press roll having a pair of upper and lower rolls configured to press the heated unit structural body sheet. The press roll is configured to raise its temperature. The average temperature of the press roll is higher than the temperature of the unit structural body sheet.

An in-line process for forming a panel having a panel body with a top face and a bottom face and at least two side edges therein between, and having one or more additional edge edgings formed from a compressible material on one or both side edges and fixed to the top and bottom faces of the panel body, the process comprising at least the steps of: (i) providing a panel body; (ii) providing of one or more additional edgings formed from a compressible material; (iii) providing a supply of an edge banding material; (iv) locating the one or more additional edgings and the edge banding material to a side edge of the panel body; and (v) fixing the edge banding material to the top and bottom faces of the panel body and encapsulating the at least one of the additional edgings.

A method for metal bonding includes providing at least two metal sheet assemblies wherein each metal sheet assembly includes at least one frame member and a flat metal sheet. Each frame member is placed onto the flat metal sheet to form a metal sheet assembly. The metal sheet assemblies are stacked upon one another to form a sheet stack, and the sheet stack is autoclaved to allow for bonding to occur between the flat metal sheet and the frame member of each metal sheet assembly. The sheet stack is removed from the autoclave and each metal sheet assembly is unstacked from the sheet stack. Each bonded metal sheet assembly then undergoes a roll forming process to provide at a curved metal sheet assembly.

The invention relates to a carpet tile or carpet strip for the contract market, in particular office and commercial buildings, comprising a machine-woven carpet having warp and weft yarns, a needled felt, an intermediate layer between the needled felt and the machine-woven fabric, wherein a polyester synthetic latex coating is applied to the back face of the machine-woven fabric, wherein the synthetic latex coating penetrates into the fabric from the back face of the fabric to a depth of at least 30% of a perpendicular distance between the back face and the front face of the fabric. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a carpet tile or a carpet strip for the contract market, in particular office and commercial buildings.

A skateboard deck with multiple layers constructed from multiple materials is disclosed. Embodiments for design and manufacture are disclosed.

A method for producing separated strip-like laminate components including an electronic component embedded between two laminate layers of a tape-like material. Individual components are placed at defined intervals by a placement device onto a tape-like, lower first laminate layer moved in a conveying direction by a transport device, after which a tape-like, upper second laminate layer moved in the conveying direction is applied to the first laminate layer with embedding of the components to form a laminate tape. The individual strip-like laminate components are cut from the laminate tape by a cutting device having a movable cutting blade, which laminate components are picked up by a gripper device and transported away. The front end of the laminate tape is gripped by the gripper device in the region of a component and moved synchronously with the clocked movement of the transport device by a predetermined distance through the cutting device and positioned relative to the cutting blade. The actual position of the component in the laminate component in relation to the conveying direction is detected by a measuring device connected downstream of the cutting device. When a deviation of the actual position from a defined target position is detected, the synchronous movement of the transport device and the gripper device is controlled in dependence on the detected deviation.

A protective cover plate includes an ultra-thin glass layer and at least one thermoplastic protective film. The ultra-thin glass layer has two main surfaces opposite to each other. At least one main surface in the two main surfaces is coated with a thermoplastic protective film in the at least one thermoplastic protective film.
