| 20090320996 | METHOD OF ATTACHING DECORATIVE SHEET - A method of attaching a decorative sheet in the method of bonding the decorative sheet onto the surface of an underlying material having a corner portion, the decorative sheet having a decorative layer comprising an inorganic cured material formed on one surface of a substrate sheet, the method of attaching a decorative sheet comprising a partly cutting step of preparing the decorative sheet having a cover sheet formed on the surface of the decorative layer maintaining a stripping strength, and incising the decorative layer via the cover sheet in a portion of the decorative sheet corresponding to the corner portion of the underlying material; a folding step of folding the decorative sheet along the incision in a manner that the substrate sheet is on the inside; a bonding step of bonding the substrate sheet of the decorative sheet onto the surface of the underlying material by using an adhesive in a manner that the folded portion of the decorative sheet is in agreement with the corner portion of the underlying material; an external corner-treating step of filling a putty in a gap resulting from the incision in the decorative sheet; and a stripping step of stripping the cover sheet from the decorative sheet. The method makes it possible to easily attach the decorative sheet having the decorative layer comprising an inorganic cured material to the underlying material having a corner portion without requiring any particular skill. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20110041989 | Resilient floor tile and method of making the same - A resilient floor tile includes a base layer, a film layer, a decorative film layer, and a topcoat. The resilient floor tile has a shaped edge formed on an upper surface thereof that extends about at least a portion of a perimeter of the resilient floor tile. In order to make the resilient floor tile, a continuous sheet of a base layer is conveyed into a press die. The press die is actuated from an open position to a closed position. The continuous sheet is cut with a blade of a cutting tool of the press die to form side surfaces of the resilient floor tile when the press die is in the closed position. A shaped edge is formed on at least a portion of a perimeter of an upper surface of the resilient floor tile with a forming tool of the press die when the press die is in the closed position. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110094661 | METHOD OF MAKING DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT GARMENTS EMPLOYING ELASTOMERIC FILM LAMINATE BODY PANELS - In one embodiment, a method of making disposable absorbent garments includes providing an outer cover web having front and back waist edges; attaching elastomeric front and back body panel webs to the outer cover web. The front and back body panel webs comprise an elastomeric film laminate. Portions of the outer cover web are removed to define a series of spaced apart holes. The elastomeric front body panel web defines a front body panel web width that extends at least 50% of a shortest distance extending from the front waist edge to each hole, and the elastomeric back body panel web defines a back body panel width that extends at least 50% of a shortest distance extending from the back waist edge to each hole. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110126966 | PARTIAL ENCAPSULATION OF STENTS - A method of making an implantable medical device includes extruding a first ePTFE tube and a second ePTFE tube, cutting a plurality of slits in the first ePTFE tube, positioning a radially expandable support layer between the first and second ePTFE tubes so that the slits span portions of the support layer, and laminating the first ePTFE tube to the second ePTFE tube through openings in the support layer. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110155304 | MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR ABSORBENT PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURING DEVICE FOR ABSORBENT PRODUCTS - Provided is a manufacturing method for absorbent products that has a fastening member placement step wherein latch members, which are fastenable to prescribed areas, are placed on both sides of a center line that is parallel to the conveyance direction of the flap line on a flap continuum that are continuously conveyed on the flap line, a flap formation process wherein flaps are formed by cutting the flap continuum on the flap line in a direction that intersects with the conveyance direction of the flap line, and a flap placement step wherein flaps are placed on front waistline member continuum or the rear waistline member continuum or on the main body line so that the center line is orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the main body line, and both edges of the flap continuum on the flap line are folded over toward the center line. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20120000598 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PLASTIC LABELS WITH SELF-ADHESIVE PATTERN, AND ATTACHING SUCH LABELS TO A TIN - Method for manufacturing plastic labels with self-adhesive pattern, and attaching such labels such that they are enfolding a tin, whereby: a strip of plastic foil is printed using a digital printing technique, whereby the side edge of consecutive label prints on the strip is situated at right angles to the lengthwise direction; an adhesive is attached to the foil; a tin is enfolded by the foil, whereby a side edge is overlapped by another part of the foil, whereby the part of the foil that is enfolding the tin is adhering to the tin by the adhesive; a part of the foil is cut off. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120247653 | Curved Lenses Configured to Decode Three-Dimensional Content - Curved lenses configured to decode three dimensional content and method of fabricating the same. The lenses comprise a polyvinylalcohol polarizer film or similar type of material laminated with triacetate or similar type material on one or both sides, wherein the polarizer film has a polarizing efficiency equal to or exceeding 99% and a transmittance percentage equal to or exceeding 35% and a retarder film (e.g., norbornene copolymer resin) laminated on a front surface of the polyvinylalcohol polarizer film laminated with triacetate and aligned to produce a desired circular polarization responsive to specified retardation wavelengths. Thermoforming and press polishing techniques may be used to fabricate/curve the blanks into lenses. The lenses (optical elements) may be used in an injection molding process to add thickness. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20140290835 | Method of Making Sandwich-Like Product Starting With Extruded Profile - A process of making a multi-layered product from an extruded sheet or web of material ( | 10-02-2014 |
