NOVELTY - Constructing multi-layer laminate structure, comprises: (a) providing lamination frame (1000); (b) providing first layer; (c) providing a second layer; (d) introducing the first layer to the first pocket; (e) placing the second layer bottom surface portion at least partially in communication with first layer top surface portion creating a multilayer stack; (f) applying an energy source to lamination frame, multi-layer stack or both; (g) allowing the energy activated flowable polymer to at least partially solidify; and (h) separating the multi-layer laminate structure from lamination frame.    USE - The method is useful for constructing a multi-layer laminate structure (claimed), which is useful as an intermediate assembly in the photovoltaic device.    ADVANTAGE - The method: provides an ability to manufacture a part with consistent dimensional/geometric characteristics (e.g. length, width, thickness, profiles); improves manufacturing inefficiencies including high scrap rates, slow cycle times, and/or the need for secondary operations (e.g. secondary trimming or milling operations; improves dimensional/geometric tolerances of each individual layer; and overcomes the disparity in the material properties of the layers (e.g. thermal expansion/contraction).    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Constructing a multi-layer laminate structure, comprises: (a) providing a lamination frame (1000), where the frame includes a first frame surface, a second frame surface and an external side frame surface interconnecting the first and second surfaces defining a frame thickness, further where the frame includes an internal side frame surface that projects towards the second frame surface from the first frame surface at least through a portion of the frame thickness defining a first frame pocket (1100) and a first frame pocket side wall profile; (b) providing a first layer including a first layer top surface portion, first layer bottom surface portion, and a first layer side surface portion interconnected between the top and bottom portions, where the first layer has a first layer length and first layer width adapted to fit within the first frame pocket; (c) providing a second layer including a second layer top surface portion, second layer bottom surface portion, and a second layer side surface portion interconnected between the top and bottom portions, where the second layer includes an energy activated flowable polymer and further where the second layer has a second layer length, a second layer width, and a second layer thickness such that it can at least partially flow into and fill at least a portion of a first gap between the internal side frame surface and the first layer side surface portion; (d) introducing the first layer to the first pocket; (e) placing the second layer bottom surface portion at least partially in communication with the first layer top surface portion creating a multilayer stack; (f) applying an energy source to the lamination frame, the multi-layer stack, or both, causing the energy activated flowable polymer to bond to the first layer and at least partially flow into the first gap between the first layer side surface portion and the internal side frame surface creating a bead with a bead width and a bead depth, the bead depth defined by a depth of the internal side frame surface; (g) allowing the energy activated flowable polymer to at least partially solidify, forming the multi-layer laminate structure; and (h) separating the multi-layer laminate structure from the lamination frame. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for the laminate frame.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a perspective view of laminate frame.
