A method for manufacturing a shell element reinforced with support elements comprises providing a skin element that has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite the outer surface, providing a first support element that has an attaching side and a free side opposite the attaching side, attaching the first support element on the skin element such that the attaching side of the first support element faces the inner surface of the skin element. A first recess is introduced into the first support element that proceeds from the free side of the first support element and extends transversely to the first axis. A second support element is provided that has a support side and a front side opposite the support side. The second support element is inserted into the first recess of the first support element such that the support side faces the inner surface of the skin element.

The invention relates to an adhesive dispenser comprising: a platform; an unwinder reel pivotally mounted on the platform and designed to carry a roll of adhesive; a separator member (9) for separating adhesive from the roll of adhesive, the separator member being arranged on the platform; the adhesive dispenser comprising at least one embossing roller (18) arranged on the platform between the unwinder reel and the separator member so that, in operation, it embosses the adhesive tape (3) being unwound from the roll of adhesive before it reaches the separator member.

The invention also relates to a device for connecting together two flattened tubular sheaths including such an adhesive dispenser.

A waterproof invisible barrier seam is formed between two fabric laminates, an outer shell fabric laminate and an inner lining fabric laminate. The seam includes an invisible seam tape that forms a hydrostatic barrier within the seam. The design of the seam allows the formation of an effective hydrostatic barrier along the seams of a soft shell garment, while retaining flexibility, stretch, aesthetic appearance, and reversibility.

An induction heating sealing device (30) for sealing a packaging material comprises an electrically conductive layer and advancing, in use, along a first direction (A), said induction heating sealing device (30) comprising an inductive element (100), said inductive element (100) comprising a first leg (31) and a second leg (32) extending along said first direction (A) and within which, in use, an alternate current flows, said first leg (31) having a first body (33) facing a second body (34) of said second leg (32) and at least one projection (35) laterally projecting from said first body (33) and facing, in use, an area (53) of said packaging material to be sealed and being configured to induce, in use, an eddy current within said area (53).

An induction heating sealing device (30) for sealing a packaging material comprising an electrically conductive layer and advancing, in use, along a first direction (A), said induction heating sealing device (30) comprising an inductive element (100), said inductive element (100) comprising a first leg (31) extending along said first direction (A) and within which, in use, an alternate currents flows, said first leg (31) facing, in use, an area (44) of said packaging material to be sealed and being configured to induce, in use, an eddy current within said area (44), and a second leg (32) arranged on one side of said first leg (31) and facing a further area (45) of said packaging material, wherein said first leg (31) comprises at least one first portion (41) and at least one second portion (42) spaced apart from one another in a second direction (S) transversal to said first direction (A).

Provided is a joint treatment method that enables smooth joint treatment without damaging the ultraviolet radiation curable resin formed on the interior sheet surface. The joint treatment method is for joining a butt joint portion of interior sheets, the protective layer being formed as a surface layer of each of the interior sheets. The method includes: (1) a step of injecting a joint treatment agent, which has no dissolving ability with respect to at least the protective layer, into the butt joint portion; and (2) a step of attaching, before the injected joint treatment agent is cured, an adhesive tape so as to straddle the butt joint portion such that the tape is in contact with the protective layer and the joint treatment agent present in the butt joint portion.

A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base with a perpendicularly joined positioner. The planar base is configured with a longitudinal cutting edge with a predetermined curvature and an opposing longitudinal non-cutting edge. The positioner, which aids in moving the template, is attached to the non-cutting edge. Variations of the predetermined curvature patterns are disclosed. An optional connector allows connection of two templates to create a longer template for usage on longer seams. Also disclosed are methods of using the seam integration tool in creating an undetectable seam in synthetic turf.

First and second composite members each containing first discontinuous fibers of fiber length La, are placed such that end surfaces thereof face each other at an interval of first length L1. Ends of the first and second composite members are melted over a second length L2 from the end surfaces. A connecting member containing second discontinuous fibers of fiber length Lb, is melted and placed to bridge a space between the ends, to form a stack. The stack is pressed, whereby the melted connecting member and the melted end portions flow into the space between the end surfaces to form a mixture portion. The mixture portion is cooled and solidified to produce a fiber-reinforced resin bonded body. The first length L1 is equal to or more than of the fiber length Lb, and the second length L2 is equal to or more than the fiber length La.

A double pull tab stretch releasing adhesive tape having first and second pull tabs residing at first and second distal ends of an extensible tensile sheet. The first and second pull tabs have a plurality of anti-slip grip regions that enable a secure gripping hold by an end user. The double pull tab stretch releasing adhesive tape attaches two substrates together and is removed by simultaneously pulling the first and second pull tabs in opposing directions to generate a two-way stretching force along the longitudinal length. This force is exerted on and stretches the extensible tensile sheet to distort the first adhesive for removal of the double pull tab stretch releasing adhesive tape from the first substrate without the end user touching any substrates.

A method for forming a connection between two tubular sections having a polymeric outer surface jacket, using electrofusion to fusion bond a casing of similar, non-crosslinked polymer to the outer surface of the tubular sections.
