A pouch case sealing apparatus for sealing a pouch case that includes a pouch body for accommodating an electrode assembly of a battery cell and a pouch terrace extending from the pouch body is provided. The pouch case sealing apparatus includes: a pair of sealing jigs, each sealing jig having a pressing surface, the pair of sealing jigs being configured to press and thermally fuse the pouch terrace from upper and lower directions of the pouch terrace so that the pouch case is sealed; and a pair of terrace anti-protruding units formed at respective pressing surfaces of the pair of sealing jigs to prevent an end portion of the pouch terrace from protruding beyond the pouch body in a horizontal direction of the pouch body when the pouch terrace is pressed and thermally fused. A method for sealing a pouch case is also provided.

Disclosed herein is a method of sealing a side portion of a pouch-shaped battery including an electrode current collector and a pouch-shaped battery case, the method including bending a lower case and an upper case connected to the lower case such that the upper case faces the lower case and the electrode current collector is disposed in the lower case, the lower case and the upper case being connected to one another at a bent portion of the pouch-shaped battery case, a primary sealing step of sealing the lower end part of the side portion of the pouch-shaped battery case adjacent to the bent portion of the pouch-shaped battery case, and a secondary sealing step of sealing the entirety of the side portion of the pouch-shaped battery case.

The invention relates to a method for wrapping and sealing a flexible sheet over an insert (10) to produce a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients; the pack comprising an insert (10) and a container (20) made from the flexible sheet folded to store the one or more ingredients, the flexible sheet being arranged overwrapping and matching the shape of the insert (10) in its entirety except for the part of the insert (10) in direct communication with the inner volume of the container (20); the method comprising the following steps: holding the insert (10) so that it is substantially perpendicular with respect to the flexible sheet; moving the insert (10) towards the flexible sheet, until it touches a bottom sealing tool (210); moving at least two side sealing tools (220, 230) towards the insert (10); applying by the bottom sealing tool (210) and by the side sealing tools (220, 230) a certain required pressure and temperature to achieve a tight sealing of the flexible sheet over the entirety of the insert (10) except for the part of it in direct communication with the inner volume of the container (20). The invention further relates to a device (200) for wrapping and sealing a flexible sheet over an insert (10) to produce a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients.

A fire retardant cushioning device wherein the cushioning device comprises a main body formed of a fire retardant cover material which is assembled together from panels of fire retardant cover material with the panels being connected together by at least one welded seam extending about the edges of the panels of cover material to form a seamed fire retardant cover material comprising the main body of the cover and the seam(s); and wherein the construction of the cushioning device provides a fire retardant cushioning device having welded seam(s) whereby the welded seam(s) are configured such that they are flame retardant. A fire retardant, infection control cushioning device is also disclosed. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing the fire retardant cushioning device.

The present invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a bag received in an envelope and containing a brewable material with a bag manufacturing means which is configured to manufacture a bag containing brewable material, and with a sealing station with a sealing jaw element and a counter-jaw element which act on the envelope from opposite sides to seal in the bag. The device is further developed for a reliable and safe manufacture of the packing unit consisting of a bag and an envelope by the sealing jaw element being fixed to a sealing jaw swivel arm at which a sealing jaw connecting rod is applied, and the counter-jaw element being fixed to a counter-jaw swivel arm at which a counter-jaw connecting rod is applied, and by the sealing jaw connecting rod and the counter-jaw connecting rod being each eccentrically connected to a common drive shaft of a servomotor. In the method according to the invention, the contact force between the sealing jaw element and the counter-jaw element is controlled via the torque of the servomotor actuating the sealing jaw element and/or the counter-jaw element.

An elastic structure for absorbent sanitary products, comprising a sleeve comprising a first layer and a second layer overlapping each other, at least one elastic thread, and a plurality of first connecting portions spaced apart in a longitudinal direction, wherein each of said first connecting portions comprises two first welds arranged on opposite sides of the thread, wherein the first welds weld said first and second layers to each other in a first longitudinal portion of said sleeve, and a plurality of second connecting portions spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, wherein each of said second connecting portions comprises at least one second weld, wherein said second welds weld said first and second layers to each other in a second longitudinal portion of said sleeve without axially connecting the thread to said second longitudinal portion of the sleeve.

A method and apparatus for making bags or pouches is disclosed. An ultrasonic sealer may be used to form the seals. Sealing patterns may be used to provide a desired strength profile.

The present disclosure encompasses three-dimensional articles comprising flexible composite materials and methods of manufacturing said three-dimensional articles.
