  • Patent number: 10464256
    Abstract: A method for folding over an edge of a decorative layer, a fold-over system, a method for converting a fold-over system, and an interior trim part. To reduce cycle times and to achieve excellent quality of the produced laminated parts at the same time, a method is provided wherein the fold-over slide for fixing the edge of the decorative layer is cooled by means of an active cooling means. Alternatively or cumulatively, the fold-over slide according to the invention is heated by means of an active heating means. In a preferred embodiment, a heating fluid flows through the fold-over slide when the fold-over slide is already pressing the adhesive into the adhesive joint, such that the hot-melt adhesive is activated. Then, under persistent contact pressure, the fold-over slide is cooled until fixation occurs. Then the fold-over slide is removed, and the carrier part can be exchanged.

  • Publication number: 20160101560
    Abstract: A tool for moulding a moulded part made of thermoplastic material and to a corresponding system and to a method. The invention relates to, in particular, the production of semi-finished products for refrigerators with a groove for receiving a seal. According to the invention, during demoulding from the undercut groove, a force acting upon the notches is braced and guided towards the residual film grid.

  • Patent number: 6589041
    Abstract: The apparatus for shaping thermoplastic materials, in particular for producing moulded parts with a large height of the moulded part, comprises a suction-pressure bell and a lower part which can be locked to each other by a locking device. Resting on the lower part are a mould and a clamping frame, while the upper clamping frame can be securely clamped by working cylinders. In the locked state, the clamping frames are braced by a seal, which is arranged between the suction-pressure bell and the upper clamping frame. The seal extends over the entire circumference of the suction-pressure bell and is able to be pressed against the upper clamping frame by a pressure medium.
