A composite structure is fabricated by staging at least a portion of an uncured, first composite component. The first composite component is assembled with a second composite component, and the staged portion of the first composite component is cocured with the second composite component.

Apparatus for splicing expiring and replenishing webs of a web material includes first and second spaced platens having respective facing inner surfaces defining a passageway for transit of the expiring web, where the platens are adapted for displacement toward and away from one another in a reciprocating manner. The first platen is adapted to engage an end of the replenishing web, while the second platen is adapted to engage and position the moving expiring web. Moving the platens together with their respective inner surfaces in close proximity to one another causes a cutting die on the first platen to sever the expiring web forming outfeeding and infeeding ends of the expiring web, and to attach the expiring web's outfeeding end to the replenishing web. Attached to the second platen in facing relation to the first platen and engaging the expiring web is an ironing pad to ensure firm contact and adhesion of expiring web to the replenishing web. During web splicing, the cutting die is transferred from the first platen to the second platen to free the replenishing web from the first platen, with the cutting die engaging and collecting or holding the expiring web's infeeding end.

A device for joining together two joining partners includes a first component receptacle for receiving the first joining partner and a second component receptacle for receiving the second joining partner. The first component receptacle and the second component receptacle are rotatable about a first axis of rotation and a second axis of rotation, respectively. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are perpendicular to each other.

An apparatus for manufacturing a display apparatus includes: a first mold configured to accommodate a cover member thereon; a magnetic first guide in the first mold; a second mold arranged to face the first mold; and a magnetic shape-variable unit in the second mold. The shape-variable unit is configured to come into contact with and move a panel member toward the cover member, and a first portion of the panel member is configured to contact the cover member before a second portion of the panel member contacts the cover member due to a magnetic force between the shape-variable unit and the first guide.

A device (1) for delivery of film for a station for packaging by plastic-wrapping, includes: at least two reels (2), each including at least one support shaft (3) for a film roll as well as a film guide (4), in particular in the form of a roller downstream from the shaft; a return roller (5), up to which an unwound film (6) travels from the roll of one of the reels (2); a loader for bringing the reserve film (9) from the roll of the at least one other reel (2) close to the unwound film. The loader includes a rotor (10), which rolls up the reserve film (9) around it in such a way as to bring it close to the unwound film (6). A machine that uses this device as well as a corresponding method are also described.

A laminating device includes: a plurality of laminating heads that each holds a unit laminated body; a drum section in which the plurality of laminating heads are arranged, which holds each laminating head swingably via a support shaft, and which rotates to advance each laminating head to a laminating position facing a lamination stage; a cam section which is in contact with each laminating head and which causes each laminating head to swing around the support shaft in association with a movement of each laminating head caused by a rotation of the drum section; and a biasing member that biases each laminating head in a radial direction of the drum section.
