A method for producing a flat plastic component for a motor vehicle, at least one of the two surfaces of the plastic component having an adhesive tape or an adhesive film, the plastic component and the adhesive tape or adhesive film having at least one aperture, and preferably a plurality of apertures, over the entire height of the plastic component and of the adhesive tape or adhesive film, wherein the plastic component, without apertures, is provided with the adhesive tape or adhesive film, wherein the plastic component provided with the adhesive tape or the adhesive film is placed on a die, such that the surface having the tape or film is facing the die, wherein the die has a circumferential cutting edge on the edge of each desired aperture, in that in each case a punch for each aperture presses the plastic component against the die, from the surface facing away from the die, in order to punch out the aperture, wherein each punch has a circumferential cutting edge, the cutting edges of the punches and the cutting edges of the die corresponding in each case in position and shape to one another.

The present disclosure is directed to a punching tool for punching out at least one beam element with both ends attached to the inside surface of an elongated through hole. The punching tool has an elongated shape with a punching end and a holding end. The punching end includes a front surface for being inserted into the elongated through hole first, and at least one cutting edge which is spaced apart from the front surface along the longitudinal axis of the punching tool and extends substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis. Further, the present disclosure is directed to a conductor receiving element for an electrical connector and a punching system including the punching tool and the conductor receiving element previously described.

A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness, where the roll of sanitary tissue product may exhibit a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method, and wherein the sanitary tissue product may exhibit a Geometric Mean Peak Elongation of greater than about 15%, as measured according to the Dry Tensile Strength Test Method.

According to the present invention, an apparatus is provided that allows cutting an opening in a material, such as a wall or surface, while accurately controlling the depth of penetration so as not to damage or destroy any existing materials behind the wall or surface, and also without needing equal access behind the wall or surface. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the apparatus includes a support block assembly having a thickness and at least one primary surface, the at least one primary surface defining a perimeter of the support block assembly; and one or more cutting blades coupled to the support block assembly in at least one location and extending away from the at least one primary surface, the one or more cutting blades being arranged in a closed plane orientation and each being coupled to the support block assembly such that the one or more cutting blades extend away from the at least one primary surface at an inset distance relative to the perimeter of the support block assembly. In another preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more levels. And in another preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a handle.

The invention relates to a method for operating a punching/transferring device (1), in particular for producing RFID antennas. The punching/transfer device (1) has a punching tool (2) with a vacuum connection (3), said vacuum connection (3) interacting with a porous elastomer (9) such that by means of the punching tool (2), a desired contour can be punched out of a multilayer composite, held, and then dispensed by modifying the shape of the porous elastomer (9) and/or by modifying the vacuum.

A machine for making capsules containing a product includes a forming station for forming in a sheet of thermoformable plastic material at least a casing of a capsule having a cavity, a shearing station with a punch and a die for cutting the sheet so as to separate the capsule along a respective edge, and a filling station for dosing the product into the cavity. During the cutting, the punch moves to cut the sheet with the die and then lift and detach the capsule from the sheet. The punch and the die are movable away from each other for placing the capsule on the sheet, and a through opening is created in the sheet by separating the capsule. The through opening has a passage section smaller than external dimensions of the edge to allow the sheet to support and move the capsule along an advancing direction.

A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness, where the roll of sanitary tissue product may exhibit a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method, and wherein the sanitary tissue product may exhibit a Geometric Mean Peak Elongation of greater than about 15%, as measured according to the Dry Tensile Strength Test Method.

A pouch cell cutting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, includes a top knife and a bottom knife for cutting a sealing part of a battery cell which includes a cell case and an electrode assembly housed in the cell case, wherein both side parts of the top knife comprises protrusion parts protruding toward the recessed parts formed on both side parts of the bottom knife, respectively, and wherein a corner part of the battery cell is cut by the protrusion part.
