Abstract

A device for manufacturing a composite product has a first folded layer with a first and second superposed portion extending from a respective first and second free end to a first bend connecting the first and second superposed portions, and a second folded layer with a third and fourth superposed portion extending from a respective third and fourth free end to a second bend connecting the third and fourth superposed portions, wherein the first and second folded layers are laid adjacent to each other in order that the second portion of the first folded layer is in contact with the third portion of the second folded layer, the first and second folded layers being oriented with respect to each other in order to extend from a first side including the first, second, third and fourth free ends to a second side including the first and second bend.

Claims (16)

1. A device for manufacturing a composite product comprising:

a first folded layer comprising a first and a second superposed portion extending from a respective first and second free end to a first bend connecting the first and the second superposed portions, and

a second folded layer comprising a third and a fourth superposed portion extending from a respective third and fourth free end to a second bend connecting the third and the fourth superposed portions,

wherein the first and second folded layers are laid adjacent to each other in order that the second portion of the first folded layer is in contact with the third portion of the second folded layer, the first and second folded layers being oriented with respect to each other in order to extend from a first side including the first, second, third and fourth free ends to a second side including the first and second bend, and

wherein the first folded layer and second folded layer include a first roller and a second roller respectively between the first and the second superposed portions and between the third and the fourth superposed portions, respectively at the first and second bend.

2. The device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first folded layer and second folded layer include a first plurality of rollers comprising the first roller and a second plurality of rollers comprising the second roller respectively between the first and the second superposed portions and between the third and the fourth superposed portions.

3. The device according to claim 2 ,

wherein rollers of the first plurality of rollers and of the second plurality of rollers are uniformly distributed along the first and second folded layers, respectively.

4. The device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first and/or second layer are made of polypropylene.

5. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of first roller links, where each link of the plurality of first roller links connects respective adjacent first rollers of the first plurality of rollers.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein each link comprises a flexible material.

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein each link comprises a rigid material.

8. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising a first roller link configured to connect plural rollers of the first plurality of rollers.

9. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising a gastight membrane disposed over the second folded layer and forming a volume between the gastight membrane and the second folded layer.
