  • Patent number: 12290878
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to calibrate a laser cutting machine without stopping the production. The method is adapted to laser cutting machine which use a conveyor belt to convey the sheets while cutting them with the laser. The method allows to place calibration marks at locations on the sheet that are convenient according to the production job, thereby minimising the waste of material.

  • Publication number: 20240157480
    Abstract: A method for processing a cardboard (12) with a laser beam (14) is provided, wherein the laser beam (14) is moved over the cardboard (12) along a desired folding line (24) such that an upper layer of the cardboard (12) is ablated without cutting through the cardboard (12), wherein the laser beam (14) is adjusted such that the laser beam (14) is focused below the cardboard (12). Further, a device (10) for carrying out a method for processing a cardboard (12) with a laser beam (14) is provided.

  • Patent number: 9403044
    Abstract: A system for providing any plurality of exchangeable (typically thin-walled and lightweight) outer skins in combination with a wearable base garment, the base garment selected from as at least one of a one-piece suit, pants or a jacket and exhibiting a plurality of fasteners. A first selected outer skin is configured for positioning in overlaying fashion relative to any of the pants or jacket of the base garment. The outer skin exhibits a further plurality of fasteners which inter-engage with the first plurality of fasteners. The first skin exhibits a first decorative pattern and, upon being detached from the base garment, can be substituted by a second identically constructed skin exhibiting a second decorative pattern.

  • Patent number: 6375207
    Abstract: A retractable running board assembly has a step, at least two support arms, at least two mounting brackets, at least two pairs of parallel links and a drive. The step has an elongated stepping surface extending generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of a vehicle on which the running board assembly is mounted. The support arms are mounted to the step. The mounting brackets are connected to an underside of the vehicle. The parallel links are pivotally connected between each of the support arms and the mounting brackets. The drive effects movement of the step between an extended outboard position and a retracted inboard position.

  • Patent number: 4735673
    Abstract: This machine is intended for bonding stretched pieces of elastic band to a moving sheet so that these pieces extend transversely relative to the direction of movement of this sheet.The pieces are transferred from a cutting station to a stretching station by means of a transfer station.The stretching station comprises several pairs of grippers distributed around an axis about which they are driven in rotation. The grippers of one and the same pair are arranged axially opposite one another and are designed to be successively moved away from, and close to, one another so that, during their rotation, they grip the lateral ends of the pieces subsequently stretching the latter by moving axially away from one another. Once stretched, the pieces are bonded to the sheet entrained about a drum at the moment when the grippers pass opposite this sheet.The invention is used for the production of a composite sheet intended for providing diapers.
