20080197527 | Method of feeding a rubber-consumer device with rubber, and an installation for feeding the rubber-consumer device with rubber - A method of the type in which a strip of rubber is moved continuously from a rubber-supplier device to a consumer device. During the continuous movement and prior to reaching the consumer device, a portion, referred to as the residue, is taken continuously from the strip of rubber. The residue is taken by continuously cutting the strip of rubber. For example, the supplier device includes upstream storage means for storing the strip of rubber from which the strip is moved toward the extruder, and downstream storage means in which the residue is stored. After the strip of rubber on the upstream storage means has been used up, the upstream and downstream storage means are swapped with each other. | 08-21-2008 |

20100072654 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING PROFILE PARTS - The present invention relates to a method for producing profile parts, each having an L-shaped cross-section, or an assembled profile part having, in particular, a T-shaped cross-section. For this purpose a lay-up made of composite fibre material is initially placed on a forming tool. In a further step, the lay-up is deformed by the forming tool to form a profile having a preferably U-shaped cross-section, the profile thus exhibiting the book effect at each opposite end. In a further step, the profile is preferably cut in the longitudinal direction in order to produce two profile parts. The idea on which the invention is based is to allow the layers in the lay-up to shift during the deformation process and subsequently to produce a substantially right-angled chamfered end on the profile parts by means of a cutting process. The disadvantageous formation of corrugations and complex clamping of the lay-up are thus avoided. | 03-25-2010 |
