The present disclosure relates to methods and components for the bonding together of plastic components during a manufacturing and/or assembly process to create molds for lost-wax casting.

An inflatable cellular cushioning article has a plurality of inflatable chambers with each chamber comprising a plurality of inflatable cells connected in series with one another by connecting channels. The article is made from a first multilayer film sealed to itself or to a second film. The first film comprises a plurality of microlayers. At least 50 percent of the microlayers comprise a polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymer, ethylene copolymer, propylene homopolymer, and propylene copolymer.

Methods and related structures to splice two sizes of cores in a manner to directly interface the facets of the cells and avoid the common practice of using fillers, casting materials, and expanding adhesives is useful to optimize the specific strength of the design and minimize the weight while maximizing the load carrying capability of the structure and to allow the core to vent moisture and other gasses.

A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base including a longitudinal non-cutting edge and an opposing longitudinal cutting edge. The longitudinal cutting edge is not straight but has a predetermined curvature. In one aspect, a through-cut viewing slot extends longitudinally offset a predetermined distance from said 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.

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing and putting on gloves capable of producing gloves that fit an individual hand shape and also putting the glove on the hands, and a method for producing and putting on gloves. The apparatus for producing and putting on gloves comprises welding and cutting means which welds and cuts a first elastic film and a second elastic film at a position on the outer side of a contour of a user's hand in a state in which the user's hand is sandwiched between the first elastic film and the second elastic film.

A mat unit includes a plurality of gaps defined by a first layer that are in open communication with gaps defined by a second layer so as to permit debris to fall entirely through both gaps to pass completely through the mat unit. The mat unit is part of an omnidirectional mat cleaning system that includes a first direction of travel above the mat unit extending through a door opening defined by a building structure. A different second direction of travel is above the mat unit extending through the door opening or another door opening defined by the building structure. The mat unit is installed on a floor adjacent the door opening. The mat unit cleans shoes regardless of the direction of travel traveled above the mat unit.

A method is for manufacturing closing systems for hygiene articles, in particular diaper closing systems. An attachment part (16) is fed to the rear face of a substrate part (18) having protruding closing elements (22) arranged in rows at a predefined distance from each other, and is joined to the substrate part (18) along welding points using an ultrasonic welding process. At least some of the welding points are introduced to extend along weld seam lines (46) between adjoining rows of closing elements (22) and to extend at least partially in parallel to the rows of closing elements (22).

A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base including a longitudinal non-cutting edge and an opposing longitudinal cutting edge. The longitudinal cutting edge is not straight but has a predetermined curvature. In one aspect, a through-cut viewing slot extends longitudinally offset a predetermined distance from said 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.

A synthetic turf seam integration template system and method is provided that includes a template having a planar base with a 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 perpendicularly. 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.
