A method for the manufacture of a hole in a component consisting of a composite material, such as a fiber reinforced plastic part or a fabric reinforced plastic part, which is characterized in that the component having first and second oppositely disposed sides is placed with its first side on a support having an iris diaphragm, in that a tip which diverges in the axial direction is pressed coming from the second side of the component through the component, which optionally has a pre-piercing, for the formation of the hole or for the enlargement of the pre-piercing and in that the iris diaphragm has a smaller starting opening which receives a narrower region of the tip and opens into a larger opening with increasing penetration of the component by the tip, whereby the component is supported during the hole formation over an as large as possible area from the first side. A piercing aid in the form of an iris diaphragm or a corresponding die button is likewise claimed.

An apparatus and method for manufacturing a notched corner board is disclosed. The method includes cutting bent board stock into fixed lengths; forming a slit in or near an end of the corner board; and bending/folding a part of the corner board between the end and the slit to create a notch or flap in the corner board. The apparatus includes one or more cutting tools configured to form a slit in or near a first end of the corner board, a support block configured to support the corner board as the slit is formed, one or more rollers configured to move the corner board towards the cutting tool(s), a frame to which the cutting tool(s), the support block, and the roller(s) are directly or indirectly attached, a motor, and a punch. The motor controls movement of the punch to form the notch in the corner board.

A method and apparatus are provided for die cutting label stock comprising a facestock, an adhesive and optionally a liner to form labels where a liner of the linered pressure sensitive adhesive label stock may be a thin or ultrathin liner.

An automatic die rubber installing machine for a flat die board and an automatic die rubber installing method for a flat die board are provided. The automatic die rubber installing machine for the flat die board includes: a machine table, where an elastic material cutting station and a flat die board placement station are provided on the machine table; an X/Y-axis feeding mechanism provided on the machine table, and located above the elastic material cutting station and the flat die board placement station; a Z-axis feeding mechanism provided on the X/Y-axis feeding mechanism; and an installing work portion provided at a movement output end of the Z-axis feeding mechanism, and facing toward the elastic material cutting station and the flat die board placement station. The installing work portion includes a cutting tool head and a grabbing tool head that are configured to rotate around a Z axis.

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing three-dimensional molded parts from a continuous sheet of a flat, plastically malleable fiber material via deep drawing with a stamp and an associated die, wherein the fiber material between the stamp and the die can be reshaped via a relative movement.

The object of the instant invention is to offer a method and a device for producing three-dimensional molded parts in which the reshaping is done via deep drawing from a cut-to-size section in the continuous sheet and which leads to a high reshaping ratio. The problem is solved by connecting the round, rectangular, oval or irregular cut-to-size section for the molded part during the deep-drawing process to the continuous sheet of fiber material via at least one web and otherwise separating it from the continuous sheet via at least one stress-easing cut; a reshaping ratio, as the ratio of the diameter and the depth, of greater than 0.2 can be realized.

There is provided herein a dispenser formed of card-based or paper-based material for a product in stick form. The dispenser includes a dispenser axis, a proximal end, a distal end, a product stick carrier, and a sleeve. The dispenser axis extends along a length of the dispenser. The product stick carrier is in the form of a cylindrical tube for receiving a product stick in use. The sleeve is in the form of a cylindrical tube, wherein the product stick carrier is located within the sleeve and wherein the product stick carrier and the sleeve are moveable axially relative to one another. The product stick carrier includes a cylindrical wall, a carrier proximal end, a carrier distal end and a plurality of tabs. The cylindrical wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The product stick extends from the carrier distal end in use. The plurality of tabs extend inwardly toward the dispenser axis from the inner surface of the product stick carrier. The plurality of tabs are configured to engage a product stick supported by the product stick carrier in use to assist in securing the product stick within the product stick carrier.

An electrode assembly, a manufacturing method, an ultrasonic cutting device, a cylindrical battery including the electrode assembly, a battery pack and a vehicle including the same are provided. In the electrode assembly, two electrodes and a separator interposed therebetween are wound about an axis, at least one of the electrodes includes an uncoated portion provided at a long side end, a winding turn region of the uncoated portion is provided at one end of the electrode assembly, the winding turn region includes a cut portion and a bent portion alternately disposed along a circumferential direction of the electrode assembly, an axial height of the cut portion is smaller than an axial height of the bent portion, the bent portion includes a plurality of uncoated portion flags, and the plurality of uncoated portion flags overlap along and axial direction to define a bending surface region.

A method for dry-forming a cellulose product in a dry-forming mould system from an air-formed cellulose blank structure. The dry-forming mould system includes a forming mould having a first mould part and an opposing second mould part arranged to cooperate with each other in a pressing direction upon forming of the cellulose product. The method includes: providing the air-formed cellulose blank structure and arranging the cellulose blank structure in the forming mould between the first mould part and the second mould part, wherein the cellulose blank structure has a moisture content in the range of 4-15 wt %, when arranged between the first mould part and the second mould part; forming the cellulose product by pressing and heating the cellulose blank structure when arranged between the first mould part and the second mould part in a single pressing operation, and heated to a forming temperature in the range of 100-200 C.

A thermoforming trim tool which comprises a punch side and a die side. The punch side moves to the die side in order to trim molded articles from a heated thermoforming sheet that is disposed therebetween. While the punch side of the tool comprises a plurality of punches, the die side of the tool comprises a plurality of dies, and both the punches and the dies are engaged with upper mount plates. Each of the upper mount plates is engaged with a lower mount plate via one or more location keys. Each of the location keys is configured to provide that the upper mount plates are shifted a pre-determined distance relative to the lower mount plate, thereby providing trim centers which are adjusted to account for pre-determined shrinkage in the sheet.
