An outer skin component for a motor vehicle is designed as a shell component with an outer shell and an inner shell, which are in each case designed as fiber-reinforced plastics shells with a fiber reinforcement embedded into a thermosetting plastic matrix. The fiber reinforcement of the outer shell consists of one or more layers of nonwoven material.

A blister pack includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and a multi-layer film sealed to the housing and enclosing the cavities, the multi-layer film including a base layer, at least one security element, and a heat protective layer. The heat protective layer is comprised of one of an amorphous polymer material or a semi-crystalline polymer material and is positioned to insulate the at least one security element from heat applied to the heat protective layer during heat sealing of the multi-layer film to the housing, the heat protective layer functioning as a heat sink for protection of the at least one security element during heat sealing of the multi-layer film to the housing.

A method for generating a camera image from which a welding contour can be derived along which an assembly is to be welded in an image processing-supported laser transmission welding method. The transparent component of the assembly is illuminated from a side facing away from the camera. The invention also relates to a device which is suitable to carry out the method and wherein an illumination device has at least one light source, the light source being arranged in a workpiece holder in which the assembly to be welded is received in a receiving area and being directed into the receiving area.

The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery case sealing apparatus capable of adjusting a direction in which an upper sealing block configured to press a laminate sheet applies pressure to the laminate sheet during a process of applying heat and pressure to an outer periphery of a battery case made of the laminate sheet to seal the outer periphery of the battery case when a pouch-shaped battery is manufactured and a pouch-shaped secondary battery sealing method using the same.

A method of closing a packaging tray comprises arranging a packaging tray between a lower tool and an upper tool of a sealing station, positioning a cover film above the packaging tray between the lower tool and the upper tool, and pressing together the cover film and the packaging tray by a lower sealing surface of the lower tool and an upper sealing surface of the upper tool cooperating with the lower sealing surface. During the pressing together, a connection is established between the cover film and the packaging tray along a sealing seam. While the cover film and the packaging tray are being pressed together, an overpressure is locally generated by supplying pressurized gas from a pressurized-gas source, the overpressure cooperating as a counterpressure with the lower sealing surface or with the upper sealing surface so as to press the cover film and the packaging tray together.

The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery sealing apparatus including a stopper capable of adjusting a thickness after sealing in a process of sealing the outer edge of a battery case made of a laminate sheet by applying heat and pressure thereto when a pouch-shaped battery is manufactured and a pouch-shaped battery sealing method using the same.

The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped battery sealing apparatus including a position adjustment unit capable of adjusting relative positions of an electrode lead and an insulative film before sealing during a process of applying heat and pressure to an outer periphery of a battery case made of a laminate sheet to seal the outer periphery of the battery case when a pouch-shaped battery is manufactured and a pouch-shaped battery sealing method using the same.

A method for welding at least two parts including a thermoplastic material and having respective surfaces to be welded, including: inserting an insert between the surfaces to be welded of the two parts; generating heat via the insert; wherein the insert moves in relation to the parts to be welded in a welding direction. Also, an installation adapted for implementation of this method.

There are provided a synthetic resin joined body and a method of manufacturing the same, with which it is possible to secure both of sealing performance of a fluid passage and joint strength between synthetic resin parts, even if an area of a portion to be welded is reduced. The synthetic resin joined body includes: a baffle plate; an oil passage forming member which comes in contact with the baffle plate; an oil passage which is formed between the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member and through which lubricant flows; a sealing portion which is formed by welding the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member to each other on an outer side of the oil passage to seal a periphery of the oil passage; and a joint portion for joining the baffle plate and the oil passage forming member to each other.

Described herein are stringer assemblies, such as blade stringers, and methods of forming thereof. A stringer assembly comprises a first fabric composite stiffener, a second fabric composite stiffener, and an intermediate tape composite stiffener, disposed between and connected to each of the first and second stiffeners. Using three separate components allows forming sharp bends, eliminating voids and gap fillers, and adding new features, such as edge reinforcements. Each of the first and second fabric composite stiffeners comprises a web portion, a flange portion, and a curved portion, positioned between the web and flange portions. The web portions surround and are attached to the intermediate tape composite stiffener and, in some examples, include tapered-out edges for additional rigidity. The flange portions are attached to the composite base. The curved portions conform to the flared-out edges of the intermediate tape composite stiffener, which extends and connects to the composite base.
