Laminating apparatus and method for producing a laminate
A laminating device and a method for producing a laminate. The laminating device has at least one membrane element. The laminating device has at least one force distributing element, wherein a laminating force which can be transmitted onto a lamination object by the membrane element can be distributed onto at least one sub region of a membrane-side surface of the lamination object via the at least one force distributing element. The at least one force distributing element is held on the laminating device.
1. A laminating apparatus, comprising:
at least one membrane member for transferring or exerting a lamination force and having a force-exerting surface;
at least one force-distributing member configured to distribute a lamination force that is transferred or exerted by said at least one membrane member to a portion of a membrane-side surface of a lamination object by said at least one force-distributing member; and
at least one fabric web retaining member for holding said at least one force-distributing member,
wherein said at least one force-distributing member is mounted to the laminating apparatus,
wherein the at least one fabric web retaining member is provided as a member separate from the at least one membrane member, and
wherein the at least one force-distributing member is sized an arranged in or on the laminating apparatus in such a way that at least a part of the lamination force, which is transferred or exerted by the at least one membrane member onto at least one section of an edge area of the membrane-side surface of the lamination object, is distributed by the at least one force-distributing member only to the portion of the membrane-side surface of the lamination object, wherein said portion is smaller than the entire membrane-side surface of the lamination object.
2. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , which comprises a lamination stretching frame and wherein said at least one fabric web retaining member is fastened to said lamination stretching frame.
3. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member comprises a panel-shaped section.
4. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member has a panel shape.
5. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member comprises at least one support segment for supporting a surface area of the laminating apparatus.
6. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member comprises a panel-shaped section or has a panel shape and comprises at least one support segment for supporting a surface area of the laminating apparatus.
7. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member has a panel shape, and wherein a surface of said at least one panel-shaped force-distributing member has or forms a raised area in a portion of said surface.
8. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member comprises a panel-shaped section or is panel-shaped and wherein a surface of said at least one panel-shaped force-distributing member has or forms a raised area in a portion of said surface.
9. The laminating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one force-distributing member is one of a plurality of force-distributing members, each mounted to the laminating apparatus.
