An apparatus for manufacturing a pouch, includes a die in which a pair of forming grooves are formed with a partition wall therebetween in a top surface thereof; and a pair of punches disposed above the die configured to form a pair of accommodation parts in a pouch film while being respectively inserted into the pair of forming grooves in a state of pressing the pouch film, wherein a pressing surface of each of the punches, which is configured to press the pouch film, has an inclined angle that is inclined upward from one end thereof disposed at a side of the partition wall toward an opposite end thereof.

A method and a device for forming shoe upper decoration essentially include a machine, an upper mould and a lower mould. The upper and lower silica gel sheets are separated from the upper and lower heaters by a distance, which provides a suspended indirect heating mode to prevent the upper of the shoe from being deformed by the direct heating of the heat source, and to achieve the purpose of reducing the possibility of non-conforming products.

A system includes a plurality of assemblies each configured to support a dental mold and a material, a heating system configured to heat the material, a forming system configured to form a chamber encompassing the dental mold and at least a portion of the heated material, and to cause the heated material to form over the dental mold, and a conveyor system configured to move the plurality of assemblies from a loading area to the heating system, from the heating system to the forming system, and from the forming system to an unloading area.

Continuous adjustment appliances are provided that can store a large number of geometries that can be successively accessed throughout orthodontic treatment, with each geometry can correspond to an arrangement of the patient's teeth. An appliance according to the present disclosure can be stimulated to transition among the myriad geometries, which can include changes to the overall shape of the appliance as well as the position and geometry of the cavities corresponding to a patient's teeth. Methods of creating the continuous adjustment appliances and methods of treatment using the continuous adjustment appliances are also revealed.

A hardtop gazebo and a process used in the making of the hardtop gazebo are disclosed herein. The hardtop gazebo includes a plurality of corner support members; a plurality of crossbeam members, at least some of the crossbeam members configured to be connected between a pair of the plurality of corner support members; a plurality of roof frame members, at least some of the roof frame members configured to be circumferentially spaced apart from one another so as to form a supporting structure for a roof of the hardtop gazebo; and a plurality of connecting members. The process used in the making of the hardtop gazebo includes applying a heat transfer paper with a particular print pattern to primed outer surfaces of one or more components of the hardtop gazebo.

A molding process includes the operation of placing insulation material comprising fibers and binder on the fibers in a mold cavity. The molding process further includes the operation of transferring heat to the insulation material to cause the binder to cure.

A system and method for forming a part using a moveable heater to heat a pre-aligned blank and an alignment mechanism to maintain the alignment of the heated blank during the forming process. A frame receives and holds the blank in the pre-aligned position within an open press. The heater advances into the press to heat the pre-aligned blank to a forming temperature, and withdraws to allow the press to close and form the heated blank into the part. The alignment mechanism maintains the blank in the alignment while the blank is heated and the press is closed, and includes a rail extending through the press and the frame and allowing the press to move between open and closed positions, and a collapsible member which pushes the frame as the press closes and collapses to allow the press to fully close and form the heated blank into the part.

The invention relates to the use of a fibre-reinforced composite (K) in a thermoforming process. Moreover, a process for thermoforming a fibre-reinforced composite (K) to a molded body (M) is disclosed, the process comprising at least the following steps: (i) Providing a fibre-reinforced composite (K) as described herein; (ii) Heating the fibre-reinforced composite (K) to a temperature (T3) at which the at least one substantially amorphous matrix polymer composition (B) is substantially softened; (iii) Thermoforming the fibre-reinforced composition (K) in a mold at a mold surface temperature (T4) in order to obtain a molded body (M); (iv) Releasing the molded body (M) from the mold; wherein the mold surface temperature (T4) is 50 C.

A station for feeding closing seals for containers, which includes at least one fixed magazine of seals which is provided with an outlet from which the seals can be taken individually. The station includes a carousel for feeding seals which can rotate with respect to a first central rotation axis and is provided with pickers which are radially spaced apart from the first rotation axis. The pickers are individually rotatable about a second rotation axis which is not parallel to the first axis of the carousel. During the rotation of the carousel, at least one picker can is configured to rotate about the second axis from a position for taking the seal from the magazine to a position for releasing the seal.

The facility comprises a plurality of processing stations (14A, 14B, 14C, 16, 18, 20, 20, 22, 24) for producing containers from a thermoplastic substrate. The facility comprises a plurality of basic conveyors (30) that cooperate with a travel track (32), for the purpose of conveying the sheets to the processing stations, the respective movements of the basic conveyors being controlled according to respective movement control commands generated by a control unit (ECU).
