Title: Separating semiconductor wafers from plates - by first fixing to thermoplastic film with heat-sensitive colophony coating
Inventor: SPERL GERHARD DIPL ING DR
IPC: B28D1/00
Filed: 1971-10-15

Title: Double seaming - with profiled belting and folding units to present fabric edge to two sewing machines in turn
Inventor: DOKTER HEINZ
IPC: D05B35/02
Filed: 1972-08-22
Abstract: Designed for working with fabric, felting or plastic materials, each belt is supported by rollers to follow a contoured path to lead the fabric edge over the folding unit for presentation to the first sewing machine, while a second synchronised belt ensures an aligned fabric feed parallel to the folding line.

Patent DE-2309183-A1 (DE)
Title: Wood glueing - using hot-curing resin/hardener and predrying with hot air blast
Inventor: HEDSTRAEM DAVID INGMAR
IPC: B27G11/00
Filed: 1973-02-23
Abstract: Glueing process, using a curable glue, is effected by applying a mixt. of resin and hardener to one or both of the surfaces to be glued, heating the glue coat(s) to below the cure temp., so that the solvent is removed, then laying the surfaces together and placing in a hot press to cure the glue. The use of a hot-, rather than cold-, curing glue eliminates the need to use the glue soon after prepn. Predrying takes only a few min (is not >15 min.) at 20 - 50 degrees C, making the process and pressing time much shorter than usual. There is no need for complicated equipment for preheating the wood. A blast of hot air is prefd. for heating the surface(s).
