A horn for an ultrasonic welding apparatus includes a body having an outer diameter surface and a convex welding tip having a first curved surface and a second curved surface. A peak curvature point is defined by the second curved surface. A base curvature point is defined at an intersection between the outer diameter surface and the first curved surface. An inner diameter is defined at an intersection between the first curved surface and the second curved surface.

An automatic welding machine, comprising a supporting frame and a tensioning device for reversibly joining at least two opposing booms to one another and applying a tension force between these, having an open position in which the opposing booms are separated from one another by a gap and a closed position in which the opposing booms are joined to one another and braced with respect to one another. One boom is mounted in a torsion-proof manner on the tensioning device and is pivotable in relation to the other boom and can be moved out of the open position into the closed position by the pivoting of the tensioning device. The tension force is generated by way of a spring-loaded element disposed on the tensioning device, wherein the spring-loaded element, at one end, is rigidly connected to a supporting element of the tensioning device and, at the other end, is pivotably mounted on the supporting frame by way of a double swivel joint, and the spring-loaded element is tensioned by the pivoting of the double swivel joint out of the open position into the closed position, whereby a torque is applied onto the pivotable boom.

A tool for an ultrasonic sealing device with a base surface, wherein the base surface has a first elevation which extends from the base surface in a direction perpendicular to the base surface, wherein the first elevation has a first partial sealing surface, wherein the first partial sealing surface has a second elevation which extends from the first partial sealing surface in a direction perpendicular to the first partial sealing surface, wherein the second elevation has a second partial sealing surface. In order to provide a tool with which aluminum-free plastic materials, in particular polypropylene sealing layers, can also be reliably sealed, it is proposed according to the invention that both the first partial sealing surface and the second partial sealing surface are provided for processing a material.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a flexible display apparatus. The method includes: arranging a film over a window having a three-dimensional curved surface shape, the film being flexible; arranging a plurality of pressure balls over the film; and pressing the plurality of pressure balls towards the window by using a pressure plate such that the film is closely adhered onto the window according to the three-dimensional curved surface shape of the window.

A production line for PFCs with FMDs includes a conveyor system, a supply system, and an installation system. The conveyor system is operable to convey PFCs. The supply system includes a roller stage. The roller stage operable to feed FMDs. The installation system includes an installation tool. The installation tool includes a mandrel, a platen, a platen heater, and a platen actuator. The installation tool is configured to receive FMDs from the roller stage in part around the mandrel and in part around the platen, configured to insert into PFCs on the conveyor system, and operable to install FMDs thereto by the operation of the platen heater to heat the platen and the platen actuator to radially expand the platen.
