The present invention relates to a method for producing a negative skin and a tool. Such a tool can be used, for example, in the automotive industry.

A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure including: preparing a first structure including a fixing face; fixing a plastic layer to the fixing face of the first structure; preparing a conductive wire; and operating an ultrasonic head to apply ultrasonic waves to the conductive wire and to press the conductive wire against the plastic layer, and thereby partly embedding the conductive wire into the plastic layer.

The aim of the invention is to further develop conventional devices for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, by a device for stretching and/or shaping and/or applying a lamination of a film element, which device comprises a support frame for gripping the film element relative to a shaping tool or to a component to be laminated, and having grippers for gripping the film element, which are mounted so as to be movable relative to the support frame, said device being characterized in that grippers are arranged in a multi-axially adjustable manner relative to the support frame in order to adapt the film element more precisely to a contour of the shaping tool or of the component to be laminated.

A method of manufacturing a plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle, the method comprising: injecting a first material into a molding apparatus to form a first component of the plastic glazing, wherein the first component comprises a panel of the plastic glazing; injecting a second material into the molding apparatus to form a second component of the plastic glazing, wherein the second component combines with at least the first component, wherein at least a portion of the first component and the second component comprises a transparent cover of a molded light assembly; and injecting a third material into the molding apparatus to form a third component, wherein the third component combines with at least the first component.

A resin sheet having hair-like bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of a base layer containing a thermoplastic resin, the surface with the hair-like bodies having a coefficient of friction, as measured according to KES, of 0.5 or more and 1.0 or less, a deviation of the coefficient of friction, as measured by KES, of 0.010 or more and 0.025 or less, and a deviation of roughness, as measured by KES, of 0.2 or more and 1.5 or less.

A method of manufacturing a load structure may include forming a panel having a first side and a second side, clearing a fill passage through the panel, providing a tool having a first portion, a second portion, and a cavity disposed between the first and second portions, disposing a film onto a surface of the first portion of the tool, disposing the panel within the cavity such that the second side of the panel engages the second portion of the tool, and the first side of the panel is spaced apart from the surface of the first portion of the tool defining a void, and injecting a coating through the fill passage such that the coating fills the void and the film adheres to the first side of the panel.

A lamp includes: a housing in which an accommodating portion for accommodating a sealed member is arranged; a lens which covers the accommodating portion and is bonded to the housing; and a resin bonding material which is in contact with the housing and the lens and bonds the housing to the lens. Besides, the housing includes, as the accommodating portion, a first accommodating portion having an elongated shape, and a second accommodating portion having an accommodating part wider than that of the first accommodating portion, wherein a first abutting surface of the housing and a second abutting surface of the lens in the second accommodating portion are formed in a manner that the respective surfaces thereof have an uneven shape. The resin bonding material is in contact with a protruding surface of the housing and a wall portion of the lens.

A modular armor system configured to be readily attached and detached from a frame surrounding a window in a vehicle or other structure, such as a building. The modular armor system may be configured to provide any desired ballistics protection rating. In one embodiment, the modular armor system includes a ballistics-grade armor panel having an outer strike face and an inner surface opposite the outer strike face. The modular armor system also includes a fastener coupled to the ballistics-grade armor panel. The fastener is configured to detachably couple the ballistics-grade armor panel to the frame surrounding the window in the vehicle or other structure.

A bonding apparatus 1 bonds a film F to a workpiece W, and is provided with a box body B for gripping the film F, a lower vacuum chamber 32 and an upper vacuum chamber 22 demarcated by the film F, an air pressure adjustment device 5 for adjusting the air pressure in the vacuum chambers 22, 32, a movement mechanism 6 for moving the workpiece W, and a control device 7 for controlling the air pressure adjustment device 5 and the movement mechanism 6. The control device 7 reduces the pressure inside the vacuum chambers 22, 32 to a first pressure, then increases the pressure inside the upper vacuum chamber 22 to a second air pressure in a state in which the film F and the workpiece W are brought into contact, and then increases the pressure inside the vacuum chambers 22, 32 to atmospheric pressure.

The present disclosure relates to a sealing element for a front vehicle door having at least one fastening section by means of which the sealing element can be fastened to a frame element of the vehicle door. The sealing element includes at least one channel section forming a drainage channel between a frame element of the vehicle door and a side wall support of the vehicle frame. The sealing element includes a cover section that partially covers a clearance disposed along an exterior side of the channel section. The sealing element covers at least half the width of the clearance of the channel section.
