The present invention relates to a pouch-shaped secondary battery sealing apparatus and a pouch-shaped secondary battery manufacturing method capable of radiating an infrared laser to a sealed portion in an overlapping state, whereby it is possible to increase sealing force, to prevent occurrence of wrinkles, and to reduce sealing time when forming a sealed portion of a pouch-shaped secondary battery case.

A lighting and signaling device for automotive vehicles, comprising a container body delimiting a containment housing closed by a lenticular body, which accommodates at least one first light source and is closed by a lenticular body, a first light guide configured to receive as input at least partially the light beam produced by the first light source, transmits the light beam by total internal reflection along a first prevailing propagation direction and sends it as output from the lenticular body. A fixing and/or screen element, opaque to the light beam is associated with the first light guide at a first interface wall, and is fixed either directly or indirectly onto the container body to mechanically block the first light guide onto the container body. The first light guide is mechanically fixed to the fixing and/or screen element by at least one first welding portion which projects from the first interface wall.

A fusion welding device, comprising a fusion welding work motor, a fusion welding work moving assembly, and a fusion welding work fixed assembly, the fusion welding work motor being connected to the fusion welding work moving assembly by means of a transmission mechanism. The fusion welding device is provided with a central connection component that is able to rotate, and the central connection component is provided with a first input position, a second input position, and a locking structure connection position. The present fusion welding device is able to implement automatic band pressing and fusion welding work by means of relatively simple structural cooperation, and by means of differently transmitted front and back connections and changes in engagement, and is able to automatically lift the fusion welding work moving assembly without requiring a handle or related operations.

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.

Electrofusion tape and method for the production thereof for welding together with plastics pipes in particular for use in a fixed-point fastening, consisting of a jacket element preferably of an electrically insulating plastics material, at least one heating element of electrically conductive plastics material and at least two contact elements for supplying electricity to the heating element, wherein the jacket element and the heating element take the form of tapes, wherein the jacket element surrounds the heating element at least in part, wherein the contact elements are arranged in the mutually opposing marginal regions of the heating element and extend parallel to one another along the heating element.

A thermoplastic composite structure is produced by consolidating and forming a composite preform to a desired shape. The preform comprises plies of a high melt temperature thermoplastic prepreg that are tacked together by a low melt temperature thermoplastic adhering the plies together in fixed registration.

A heating block assembly including one or more configurable insulator segments and a heater block having a first surface configured to removably receive the one or more configurable insulator segments, in which each of the one or more configurable insulator segments covers only a portion of the first surface. A method for sealing at least one portion of a package using such a heating block assembly is also disclosed.

Described is an assembly (1) comprising a wall element (2), defining a circumferential bonding strip (3) running over the wall element, and a flexible flat film connected to the bonding strip with a continuous circumferential bonding (4), which wall element and film define two opposite walls (2a, 5a) of a chamber (5), characterized in that the wall element further comprises a base plane B defined by the wall element, at least two corner elements (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) positioned on a distance to one another, which extend substantially perpendicular with a height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd) in the same direction from the base plane of the wall element, each corner element defining an angle A (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad) of the chamber with an angle line which is substantially perpendicular to the base plane, strip sections (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d), each connecting two corner elements that define adjacent corners of the chamber to one another, the distance between the strip sections and the base plane being less than H, wherein the continuous circumferential bonding strip runs over the strip sections and over the corner elements and at least in the area of the corner elements at a distance from the base surface corresponding to height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd), and wherein the outer contour of the film is shaped in such a way that the outer contour of the film corresponds to that of the circumferential bonding strip. A method for the production of such an assembly is also described.

A transducer in which electrical connections between electrode sheets and leading wires can be secured via an approach other than soldering or welding is provided. In a sheet body portion, a dielectric layer and a first electrode sheet are joined by a first main fusion layer formed of a fusion material. A first conductive portion of a first leading wire is fixed to the sheet body portion by a first clamp. The first clamp includes a plurality of first leg portions that penetrates the sheet body portion in a thickness direction, a first coupling portion that couples the proximal ends of the plurality of first leg portions and is disposed across the first conductive portion, and a plurality of first bent-back portions that is formed by bending the respective distal ends of the plurality of first leg portions and is locked with a second surface of the sheet body portion.

A protective guard for a hand, finger or thumb includes a first thermoplastic layer heat welded to second thermoplastic layer. The second thermoplastic layer has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the first thermoplastic layer.
