The subject of the invention relates to a laminating method consisting: in disposing in series on the horizontal path of a first face of the part, several first application units (Ua1, Ua2, . . . ) and in series on the horizontal path of the second face of the part, several second application units (Ub1, Ub2, . . . ) each positioned facing a first application unit located on the first face; in placing the first application units (Ua1, Ua2, . . . ) and the second application units (Ub1, Ub2, . . . ) in different vertical positions such that the combined application with overlapping of the protective films on each of the faces of the part corresponds to the height to be covered by the films; in applying, using the first application units and the second application units, the protective films respectively to the first face and to the second face of the part, starting from the front border of the surface to be covered; and in successively cutting out as a function of the horizontal path of the part the protective films at the level of the rear border of the surface.

A film-embossing apparatus with a hot-embossing device which has a heated embossing stamp. With the formation of a contact pressure, a transfer layer, arranged on a carrier film, of a hot-embossing film is transferred to a surface of a workpiece. The hot-embossing device has control inputs and outputs. The film-embossing apparatus has an industrial robot with control inputs and outputs. The control inputs and outputs of the hot-embossing device and of the industrial robot are connected to a control unit. The industrial robot is formed such that it guides the workpiece to the hot-embossing device, positions the workpiece on the embossing stamp, guides the workpiece past the embossing stamp, and guides the embossed workpiece away from the hot-embossing device. The industrial robot can also position the hot-embossing device on the workpiece.

A tape applicator assembly for securing at least one cable within a corner defined by a first surface and a second surface that includes a body moveable along the at least one cable positioned on the first surface, a tape-receiving cavity defined in the body for receiving a tape assembly having tape, wherein the tape assembly is receivable within the tape-receiving cavity such that the tape is positioned for dispensing from the body, and a tape applying assembly defined within the body. The tape applying assembly is configured to adhere the tape to both the at least one cable and the first and second surfaces defining the corner as the body moves along the at least one cable on the first surface.

Method, and apparatus, for applying a heat-activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) to a support (20) by: activate by heating the double-sided adhesive tape (10) with laser light from at least two different laser light emitters (30), salid emitters each compörising an optical collimator (31) adapted to project a cylindrical light beam (33), and bringing into mutual contact said activated double-sided adhesive tape (10) with said support (20) in a contact zone so they join.

The present disclosure relates to the field of apparatuses for manufacturing a display. It discloses an apparatus for sticking cloth, including: a rack; a workbench arranged on the rack; a roller frame arranged above the workbench and provided with a pair of clamps which are configured to clamp a rubbing roller onto which a cloth will be stuck; a horizontal moving mechanism mounted on the rack and configured to drive the roller frame to move horizontally; and a heating pad mounted on the workbench and configured to heat a rubbing cloth and a double sided adhesive tape. By means of heating the rubbing cloth and the double sided adhesive tape by the heating pad, the air bubbles on the surface of the rubbing roller may be reduced to optimize the rubbing alignment process. The present disclosure also provides a method for sticking cloth.

An overlay applicator can include an overlay with a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side can include an adhesive agent configured to adhere to a screen of an electronic device. The overlay applicator can include an adhesive release liner. The adhesive release liner can include a top side and a bottom side. The top side of the adhesive release liner can be removably attached to the bottom side of the overlay. The adhesive release liner can be configured to protect the adhesive agent at the bottom side of the overlay from contaminants. The overlay applicator can include a protective film removably attached to the top side of the overlay. The overlay applicator can include an alignment tab. The alignment tab can include an alignment mechanism. The overlay applicator further can include a pull tab. The pull can include a wiper. Other embodiments are provided.

A gripper is disclosed for a draping frame having a gripper chassis and at least two opposing mutually movable gripper jaw elements for gripping a film element. The gripper jaw elements are provided on a gripper head part of the gripper. The gripper head part of the gripper is movably mounted, at least with one degree of freedom, relative to the gripper chassis.

A polymer geo-injection apparatus for protecting an underground structure is provided. The apparatus includes: a mechanized vehicle for moving on the ground in order to transport the apparatus while the apparatus forms a subsurface polymer layer that protects the underground structure; a polymer supply tank coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to supply solid polymer during the forming of the polymer layer; a polymer melting unit coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to receive and melt the supplied solid polymer and to supply the molten polymer during the forming of the polymer layer; and a subsurface ripper coupled to the mechanized vehicle and configured to move through the ground in response to the movement of the mechanized vehicle while receiving and injecting the supplied molten polymer into the ground above the underground structure in order to form the polymer layer and protect the underground structure.

Unwind assembly fixtures herein are useful in improved methods for application of polymeric film or laminate to at least a portion of a surface of an article. In an exemplary embodiment, such a method comprises: providing an unwind assembly fixture comprising an anti-static device; securing the roll of multi-layer sheet in the fixture; unwinding the multi-layer sheet from the roll; removing the release liner from the multi-layer sheet after it is unwound from the roll; capturing and re-rolling the removed release liner on another roll positioned in the fixture; and applying the polymeric film laminate to the surface of the article.

A device for winding a reinforcing strip onto a repair length on either side of a portion to be repaired of a pipe, including: a carriage bearing a reel holder and a reel, means for rotating the carriage around the pipe and for translating same along the longitudinal axis of the pipe so that the strip is wound around the pipe in the form of a helix, means for reversing the direction of translation movement of the carriage so that, at each change of direction, the carriage moves in a direction opposite to the previous one and a layer of reinforcing strip is wound around the pipe, overlapping the previous layer. The means for translating the carriage include a conveying chain and the reversing means are actuated automatically without the intervention of an operator.
