The present invention provides a resin leakage prevention member 401 for use in a molding die 1000, wherein the molding die 1000 includes a lower die 200 and an upper die 100, the lower die 200 has a side member 201 and a bottom member 202, a space surrounded by the side member 201 and the bottom member 202 forms a cavity 204, the cavity 204 is configured to accommodate a resin material 20a, the side member 201 is configured to move relatively vertical to the bottom member 202, and the resin leakage prevention member 401 is disposed on a peripheral portion of an upper surface of the bottom member 202 and along an inner peripheral surface of the side member 201, thereby sealing a gap between the side member 201 and the bottom member 202 and preventing a resin from leaking from the cavity 204 into the gap.

A method for forming cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank having a base and one or more forming moulds attached to the base which is arranged to rotate around a rotational axis, wherein each forming mould comprises a first mould part Wand a corresponding second mould part wherein during rotational movement of the base around the rotational axis each first mould part is arranged to engage with its corresponding second mould part in a pressing direction. The method comprises arranging the cellulose blank in a position between a first mould and the second mould forming the cellulose products in the rotary forming mould system, by applying a forming pressure between the first mould and its corresponding second mould through an engaging movement of the first mould in relation to its corresponding second mould in the pressing direction, wherein the forming moulds are rotating with the base around the rotational axis.

Aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods that employ a press pad for forming shoe parts, or subassemblies, for example a sole subassembly. The adaptive pad may conform to a topography of a pattern of recesses of a shoe part and provide sufficient rigidity to facilitate formation of a bond during pressing of the one or more shoe parts to form the sole subassembly.

A resin impregnation measurement device includes a jig and a resin impregnation sensor. The jig is formed into an inner surface shape of a protrusion of a stringer. The jig includes outer surfaces including a facing surface that is to face an inner surface of the protrusion. The resin impregnation sensor is disposed on the facing surface of the jig.

A battery case shaping apparatus and method shape a pouch-shaped battery case. The battery case shaping apparatus includes a conductive liquid and positive and negative electrodes each configured to generate electric discharge in the conductive liquid in order to prevent a laminate sheet for battery cases from being damaged by friction between a punch and a die and to allow the entirety of the laminate sheet to be elongated.

Systems and methods are provided for utilizing pellet-loaded bladders to consolidate and/or harden composite parts. One embodiment is a method for fabricating a composite part. The method includes laying up a preform that is made of fiber reinforced material and that includes a cavity, inserting one or more bladders that are loaded with expandable pellets into the cavity, inflating the bladders in response to a triggering condition, consolidating the preform while the bladders are inflated, deflating the bladders, and removing the bladders from the cavity.

A seal member formed in a line shape having ends is inserted in a seal groove formed on at least one of adjacent side surfaces of segments. A lip portion is provided on a seal upper portion of the member so at least a tip end thereof projects to an outside of the seal groove when the member is inserted in the groove. The seal member is hollow or includes a concave portion on at least a seal bottom portion thereof. When assembling the segments as a single structure, the adjacent side surfaces of the segments are coupled to each other, and the seal member is crushed in a cross sectional direction by the side surface of the other segment to seal between the segments. With this, complication of manufacturing steps can be suppressed or avoided while realizing a satisfactory sealed state between the adjacent segments of a mold.

Provided is an insulating coating device for an electric wire, including a pressing pipe. The pressing pipe includes two first pressing parts which are configured to divide the pressing pipe into two parts along a longitudinal cross section of the pressing pipe, an inner wall of the pressing pipe is provided with an air bag, and the air bag is provided with an air pipe joint which penetrates to an outside of the pressing pipe. In the insulating coating device for the electric wire, a self-curing insulating material is coated on joints of the electric wires, the air bag is used to squeeze the self-curing insulating material such that the self-curing insulating material is shaped and compacted, so that cavities generated in a coating process is reduced, and the self-curing insulating material is uniformly attached to the joints of the electric wires.

An example apparatus for fabrication of a co-cured composite assembly includes a layup tool body with a cavity, a thermal expansion insert inserted into the cavity of the layup tool body and a first uncured composite part of the composite assembly is positioned onto the thermal expansion insert, and a solid internal mandrel configured for insertion onto the first uncured composite part. During curing, the first uncured composite part compacts and reduces in thickness while the solid internal mandrel and the thermal expansion insert each increase in size to apply pressure to the first uncured composite part.

Mold set for insertion in a ski press (2) comprising a substructure which has a base plate (4), a lower contour (5) and a lower heating element (7), and an upper structure having a cover plate (16), an upper contour (15), and an upper heating element, so that a ski mold can be inserted between the substructure and the upper structure.
