A laying unit for producing a fiber composite component includes a drive device which is formed for magnetic cooperation with a running face, which provides a magnetic field and/or is ferromagnetic, to advance the laying unit on the running face. A device for producing a fiber composite component including a laying unit of this type and a method for producing a fiber composite component including a device of this type are disclosed.

A manufacturing system includes a plurality of lamination heads and a head-moving system defining a continuous loop lamination path configured to move the lamination heads in series along the lamination path. The manufacturing system also includes at least one lamination mandrel positioned along a portion of the lamination path. The lamination heads are each configured to dispense a layup material onto the at least one lamination mandrel or onto layup material previously applied onto the lamination mandrel while the lamination heads are moved by the head-moving system through one or more revolutions of the lamination path to lay up a composite laminate.

A caulking assisting device has of a fixed frame mounted to a filler coating-supplying device, a rolling part mounted to the fixed frame, a movable frame and an elastic element. The positioning frame has a pair of first limiting recesses and a pair of second limiting recesses. The movable frame is pivoted to the fixed frame and is rotatable, and a tapered roller is pivoted at the end of the movable frame. Meanwhile, the elastic element is disposed on the movable frame, while a positioning protrusion is located at both ends respectively. As a result, the tapered roller can be moved to a use position and a non-use position by the rotation of the movable frame, thereby switching between the rolling part and the tapered roller while in use.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for drywall banjo apparatus for applying joint tape. An example tool for applying joint tape to a corner drywall joint includes a base and a wheel configured to rotatably couple to the base and roll along the corner drywall joint. The wheel includes a body that defines an outer surface. The outer surface includes a first angled surface configured to press the joint tape against a first drywall defining the corner drywall joint, a second angled surface opposite the first angled surface and configured to press the joint tape against a second drywall defining the corner drywall joint, and a rounded vertex defined between the first angled surface and the second angled surface. The rounded vertex is rounded to deter the wheel from perforating the joint tape.

The invention relates to an adhesive tape applicator with a holder (1) for a roll (2) of adhesive tape and at least one handle (12) and an applicator head (7) arranged so that it is in a fixed position relative to the handle (12), wherein a deflector edge unit (8) is arranged in particular so that it can move relative to the applicator head (7).

Method and apparatus are disclosed for drywall banjo tools for applying joint tape. An example drywall banjo for applying joint tape includes a banjo body. The banjo body includes a panel and side walls protruding from outer edges of the panel to define a cavity that is configured to contain joint compound mud. The side walls include a first side wall that extends between an inlet and an outlet. The example disclosed drywall banjo also includes a sloped mound configured to couple to and project away from the first side wall within the cavity. The sloped mound is configured to guide the joint compound mud within the cavity toward the joint tape travelling between the inlet and the outlet to enable the joint compound mud to uniformly collect on a side of the joint tape.
