A topping sheet forming method includes: a feeding and division step of feeding a textile original fabric, obtained by weaving longitudinally aligned tire cords into a cord fabric by use of weft yarns, and cutting off the weft yarns in predetermined widthwise positions to divide the textile original fabric into a plurality of narrow textile original fabrics; and a topping step of topping at least one surface of each of the narrow textile original fabrics with unvulcanized rubber.

Methods include providing a plurality fabric material layers, applying a plastisol layer between each fabric material layer forming plurality fabric material layers thereby creating a belt carcass, pressing the fabric material layers together with the plastisol layer(s) at a pressure of at least 5 psi to produce a preformed fabric carcass while heating the preformed fabric carcass while heating the preformed fabric carcass to a temperature which is within the range of about 360° F. to about 450° F. for a period of at least 6 minutes, disposing a thermoplastic elastomer polyvinyl chloride alloy composition onto the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric carcass, pressing the thermoplastic elastomer polyvinyl chloride alloy composition onto the upper and lower surfaces of the fabric carcass, and splicing opposing distal ends of the belt in a stepped splice configuration. The layers may be devoid of covering strips of lattice fabric disposed adjacent an abutment of any proximally positioned fabric layer.

A method for manufacturing a raw blank of a tyre includes using a calender to produce a ply. The calender includes two rollers with a gap situated therebetween. A ply that includes a first rubber material is formed in the gap of the calender, with a bead of the first rubber material being formed upstream of the gap. The bead and the gap of the calender are fed with a second rubber material, different from the first rubber material, to form at least one insert in the ply.

The invention provides a method of forming porous polyurethane polishing pad that includes feeding liquid polyurethane onto a web sheet with a doctor blade while back tensioning the web. Coagulating liquid polyurethane onto the web sheet forms a two-layer substrate. The two-layer substrate has a porous matrix wherein the porous matrix has large pores extending upward from a base surface and open to an upper surface. Spring-arm sections connect lower and upper sections of the large pores.

An edge-beaded fastener product such as a cushion cover tie-down has a molded profile bead secured to and extending along a flexible strip adjacent a longitudinal edge of the strip. The profile bead has a shoulder or an inboard sidewall extending away from the strip, such as for retaining a clip or hog ring. The flexible strip may have a reinforced region, inboard of the shoulder, in which resin contiguous with resin forming the profile bead encapsulates surface features of the strip. The product is made by molding resin directly onto the strip. Multiple lanes of resin may be molded on a single substrate, which is severed to form individual strips with severed, exposed strip edges.

The present disclosure discloses a silica gel vibrating diaphragm and a method for fabricating the same. The method comprises: forming a composite material belt by using two layers of a base material and liquid silica gel in a calendering manner, wherein the liquid silica gel is between the two layers of the base material; wholly hot-press molding the composite material belt by a vibrating diaphragm die holder, a temperature of the hot-press molding being higher than a vulcanization temperature of the liquid silica gel; removing the two layers of the base material to obtain a whole sheet of silica gel vibrating diaphragm; and blanking the whole sheet of silica gel vibrating diaphragm that has been removed of the two layers of the base material to fabricate a required silica gel vibrating diaphragm. As compared with conventional solutions, the technical solution of the present disclosure has the advantages of simple molding manner, low cost, various styles of the vibrating diaphragm, and small thickness of the vibrating diaphragm.
