A lamination apparatus including a first stage including a first body portion and an accommodation portion disposed on a bottom surface of the first body portion, a second stage disposed to face the first stage, and a jig device disposed between the first stage and the second stage, the jig device including a second body portion and at least one jig portion, in which the at least one jig portion has one end fastened to the second body portion and the other end having a rounded shape.

An apparatus is described for securing an edge of the material to a support surface. A guide surface is positioned adjacent the edge to be secured. A weld head engages the edge of the material in a plurality of locations. A drive mechanism advances the weld head on the guide surface. The weld head engages the edge of the material and transfers energy to secure the edge of material in the desired position on the support surface.

A manufacturing method of a seating device includes manufacturing an outer skin; manufacturing a core member via a foaming process; wrapping the core member in the outer skin, coupling a mounting plate at a bottom surface of the core member; and selectively coupling a mounting structure to the mounting plate to form the seating device. The outer skin is constructed to have a top skin layer adhered on a top surface of the core member, a side skin layer adhered on a side surface of the core member, and a bottom skin layer adhered on a bottom surface of the core member. Particularly, the top skin layer of the outer skin is adhered on the top surface of the core member edge-to-edge to initially align and retain the outer skin on the core member.

A method of forming a composite panel includes providing an initial composite material, heating the initial composite material, molding the initial composite material to form a preliminary composite panel having a main body connected to an outer edge and a laminate layer secured to the outer edge, and folding an exterior edge portion of the outer edge over an interior edge portion to provide an external folded edge having the laminate layer on at least a portion of an outer surface.

An apparatus and method for producing a film-covered component, having at least one assembly nest with at least one component section, on which a component to be covered can be arranged includes operating a film severing device. The film severing device is arranged on the assembly nest and has a severing element. The film severing device surrounds the component section at least partially laterally at a distance.

A flat laminate element made of thermoplastic is hot-formed in a two-stage method. In a first stage, the flat laminate which includes film(s) and/or panels(n) is placed on a flat frame-shaped pallet and is heated to a forming temperature in a heating zone between two flat heat screens in a contactless manner. The edge zone of the hot flat laminate element lies on the pallet such that the laminate piece cannot be clamped in a first laminate direction but rather can be slide on the pallet in this direction. Two non-flat rigid contours which are identical or largely identical act on two opposing parallel laminate edge sections uniaxially and perpendicularly to the laminate plane and only in the first laminate direction, i.e. monodirectionally, and shape the entire heated laminate element into a monodirectionally molded blank.

Provided is a protection film attaching apparatus according to the present invention comprising: a housing; a jig installed on an upper surface of the housing and fixing one side of a protection film; a gripper installed on one side of the housing and elastically supporting another side of the protection film vertically; and a film attaching part installed in the housing to move in a lengthwise direction of the jig so as to pressurize and attach the protection film onto a glass surface of an electronic device. According to the description above, when a protection film is attached onto a surface of glass having curved edges, air bubbles are not generated on the surface of the glass, and an attaching process becomes easier and more effectively done.
