PROCESS FOR INCREASING THE SOFTNESS OF BASE WEBS AND PRODUCTS MADE THEREFROM

A process for increasing the tactile properties of a base web (38) without adversely effecting the strength of the web is disclosed. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of placing a creped base web between a first moving conveyor (60) and a second moving conveyor. The conveyors (62) are then wrapped around a shear-inducing roll (64) which creates shear forces and compressive forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web, increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web. The compressive forces are localized at the areas where the fabric knuckles contact the base web, imparting a unique fabric-imprinted pattern to the web with limited caliper reduction. The shear-inducing roll typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear-inducing roll may be incorporated into the system.

APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD

HIGH SPEED CORRUGATOR SINGLE FACER WITH STEAM INJECTION

A method and apparatus for producing a single face corrugated web in which a steam cloud is injected between the corrugated medium web and the liner web directly at the line along which the webs converge. This type of steam injection allows faster corrugator speeds without sacrificing bonding quality. An adhesive slurry of water and starch granules is applied to the flute tips to form glue lines on the corrugated web prior to the convergence of the webs. The injected steam cloud directed at the web convergence line adds heat without promoting premature dehydration to facilitate proper conditions for effective cooking of the adhesive slurry to thoroughly gelatinize the adhesive. In some applications, dry steam is preferred because dry steam does not significantly interfere with subsequent dehydration of the adhesive gel during the formation of the initial green bond.

The conveyors (62) are then wrapped around a shear-inducing roll (64) which creates shear forces and compressive forces that act upon the base web. The shear forces disrupt the web, increasing the softness and decreasing the stiffness of the web. The compressive forces are localized at the areas where the fabric knuckles contact the base web, imparting a unique fabric-imprinted pattern to the web with limited caliper reduction. The shear-inducing roll typically has a relatively small diameter. In some applications, more than one shear-inducing roll may be incorporated into the system.

Corrugated Furniture Design and Construction System

A piece of furniture such as a standing desk is constructed of intersecting folded prisms provided with a novel slot joint system which affords lateral and torsional stability, simplicity, and long life to such furniture. Among other things, in some implementations, a piece of furniture is formed using four sheets of corrugated fiberboard die-cut with slots and scores. A first one of the pieces is a sheet of corrugated cardboard folded into interconnected, adjacent triangular prisms (which we sometimes refer to simply as conjoined triangle prisms) that provide a work surface. A second one and third one of the pieces are sheets of corrugated cardboard folded into conjoined rectangular prisms that provide mirrored (relative to one another in the finished piece of furniture) vertical supports that elevate the work surface above the floor. A fourth one of the pieces is a sheet of corrugated cardboard folded into a rectangular prism that serves as a support brace for lateral stability. The piece of furniture is formed by mating the slots of the vertical supports with the work surface to form joints. These slotted joints grow tighter as the vertical structural supports simultaneously wedge apart and clamp together the work surface's conjoined triangular prisms. The support brace may then be mated with the two parallel vertical structural supports, wedging the supports apart and adding additional rigidity and strength to the structure. The described furniture construction system is designed to be transported and stored in a flat-packed condition and assembled when needed. 1.
