DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A device within the aeronautical and aerospace fields, comprising:
- rollers which deform a preliminary fabric provided at a deformation zone of the device, a first and second tool; and
guide means which guide the first and second tools in such a way that the tools press the preliminary fabric deformed in the deformation zone and arranged in a pressing zone of the device along a second axis as the deformed preliminary fabric moves along a first axis through the pressing zone, said second axis being substantially transverse to the first axis, to form a consolidated preliminary fabric;
wherein the guide means guide the first and second tools substantially parallel to one another, in part, along the first axis in the pressing zone, and wherein in the pressing zone the first and second tools define a gap for receiving the deformed preliminary fabric, said gap having a substantially constant, in particular Ω
-, U-, T-, and/or L-shaped cross-section extending along the first axis.

Abstract
The present invention provides a device, in particular within the aeronautical and aerospace fields, comprising a first and second tool and guide means, which guide the first and second tools in such a way that they press a preliminary fabric arranged in a pressing zone of the device along a second axis as said fabric moves along a first axis through the pressing zone, said second axis being substantially transverse to the first axis, so as to form a consolidated preliminary fabric, the guide means guiding the first and second tools parallel to one another, in part, along the first axis in the pressing zone.
