METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING AN ENDOVASCULAR GRAFT SECTION

A device and method for the manufacture of medical devices, specifically, endovascular grafts (16), or sections thereof. Layers of fusible material (13) are disposed upon a shape forming member (14) and seams (81) formed between the layers in a configuration that can produce inflatable channels (82) in desired portions of the graft. After creation of the seams (81), the fusible material of the inflatable channels may be fixed in a mold (90) to constrain an outer layer or layers of fusible material while the channels (82) are being expanded. A joint (330) may be produced on the endovascular graft by folding a flap (333) of a flexible material portion of an endovascular graft about a portion of an expandable member (314) to form a loop portion (348). The flap (333) may be secured in the loop configuration (348) so that tensile force on the expandable member (314) is transferred into a shear force on the fixed portion of the flap.

Apparatus for forming and applying plastic sleeves to glass bottles

The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming and applying a plastic sleeve to a rigid base article, such as a glass bottle. A blank of plastic is wrapped and seamed around the fingers of a stripper sleeve enclosing a mandrel. The stripper sleeve holding the plastic sleeve is extended along its longitudinal axis telescopically over a preheated bottle positioned above and longitudinally aligned with the mandrel and the stripper sleeve. Clamping means, such as a plurality of vacuum fingers, extend downwardly and hold the plastic sleeve in position while the stripper sleeve with its fingers is retracted to its original position. The heat of the bottle causes the plastic sleeve to shrink slightly such that it is held in position relative to the bottle when the clamping means is removed. The bottle and plastic sleeve are then subjected to a thermoconstrictive operation.

Способ изготовления оболочек из листового термопластичного материала и устройство для изготовления изделий из листового термопластичного материала

In the packaging field certain types of packages are manufactured from pre-shaped, cylindrical casings made from a heat-shrinkable laminate. The casings are formed by winding a material sheet around a mandrel and subsequent sealing together of the overlapping ends of the sheet. However, because of the stiffness of the material the leading end of the sheet protrudes tangentially from the mandrel during the winding and prevents an accurate adaptation of the material sheet to the surface of the mandrel. According to the method and arrangement of this invention this disadvantage is avoided in that the leading end of the sheet is pre-heated on the side facing the mandrel to such a degree, that the shrinking is initialled. The shrinking of one side only results in that the leading end of the material sheet is given a curved shape with a radius that coincides with the radius of the mandrel, and consequently the leading end is no longer an obstacle to the winding.

Improvements in and relating to the production of sleeves of sheet plastics material

In the packaging field certain types of packages are manufactured from pre-shaped, cylindrical casings made from a heat-shrinkable laminate. The casings are formed by winding a material sheet around a mandrel and subsequent sealing together of the overlapping ends of the sheet. However, because of the stiffness of the material the leading end of the sheet protrudes tangentially from the mandrel during the winding and prevents an accurate adaptation of the material sheet to the surface of the mandrel. According to the method and arrangement of this invention this disadvantage is avoided in that the leading end of the sheet is pre-heated on the side facing the mandrel to such a degree, that the shrinking is initialled. The shrinking of one side only results in that the leading end of the material sheet is given a curved shape with a radius that coincides with the radius of the mandrel, and consequently the leading end is no longer an obstacle to the winding.

LABELING MACHINE FOR HEAT SHRINK LABELS

A machine and method for applying heat shrink labels or the like to articles such as containers having cylindrical body portions and an end portion or portions adjoining the body portion and sloping inwardly therefrom. The label has a length such that its leading end overlaps the trailing end and a seam is formed at the overlap. The label is secured to the article by adhesive between the leading end and the container and by adhesive between the overlapping leading end and trailing encl. The label is of a width such that it projects beyond the junction or junctions of the end portion or portions with the body portion resulting in free standing edge or edges which are then heat shrunk onto the container by heat from an external source. A tongue is interposed between the heat source and the seam at each free standing edge or edges. This tongue serves as a heat shield to moderate application of heat to the seam. Most advantageously the end of each tongue is wedge shaped so that as it is extended ...

Method and apparatus for creating micro-cut plate break

A method and apparatus utilizes a flexographic printing cylinder or print sleeve that is functionally adapted to have a photopolymeric printing plate removably attached to it. A micro-cutting mechanism is also provided that is axially aligned with the printing cylinder or print sleeve whereby a cutting tool, such as a knife, blade, straight edge or laser, can be drawn across the printing cylinder or print sleeve to cut a portion of the printing plate that is mounted thereto. In the method and apparatus of the present invention, and after the printing plate is attached at a point along the cylinder or sleeve, the micro-cutting mechanism is placed proximally to the printing cylinder or sleeve and the cutting tool is drawn along a line and across a portion of the printing plate. This forms a first cut through the plate. The cut may be at an angle relative to the perpendicular of the cylinder or sleeve, or the cut may be perpendicular to the surface of the cylinder or sleeve. The cylinder or sleeve is then advanced precisely to the point that a second cut can be made through the plate. In this fashion, the first and second cuts result in plate ends that align such that the break in the plate is minimized.

Lightweight strong pipe for new construction and repair of pipes

Methods and systems are disclosed for manufacturing or reinforcing of any length, shape, size, and any thickness pipe with a plurality of layers comprising at least a first reinforcement sheet, a pre-designed and localized resin-fortified Core, and a second reinforcement sheet. The Core includes “A-regions” which are designed to absorb less resin, and “B-regions” which are designed to absorb more resin. For reinforcing a pipe, a first reinforcement sheet is placed over the inside and/or the outside surface of the pipe. A pre-designed and localized resin-fortified Core is placed over and adhered to the first reinforcement sheet. Subsequently a second reinforcement sheet is placed over the surface of the Core, such that the Core stays between the first and the second reinforcement sheet. Next, the resin-saturated sheets and Core are cured—depending on the type of resin—by partial or complete exposure to ambient temperature, to heat, or to light.
