FOLDED HONEYCOMB MADE OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD, PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR ITS PRODUCTION

The invention relates to a folded honeycomb structure and to a method and device for producing said folded honey- comb structure from a corrugated core web. The folded honeycomb structure has a number of adjacent corrugated core strips which lie in one plane and are in- terconnected by cover layer strips. Said cover layer strips are folded about 180.degree. and are perpendicular to said plane. Ac- cording to the inventive method for pro- ducing the folded honeycomb structure, interconnected corrugated core strips are produced first by making a number of longitudinal scores in a corrugated core web. These corrugated core strips are then alternately rotated through 90.degree. re- spectively so that the cover layer strips fold and the folded honeycomb structure is formed. The device corresponding to this method consists of a number of rotating blades for making the longitudinal scores and a number of guiding elements for rotating the interconnecting corrugated core strips.

TOTAL CONTAINMENT WELDING OF PLASTIC TUBES

DENCO-17 TOTAL CONTAINMENT WELDING OF PLASTIC TUBES A pair of hollow plastic tubes are welded together by mounting each tube in the clamp jaws of a holder in a bent condition to form the U-shape. A structural element is utilized to create a space between the bight of the U-shape and the holder. The bent tubes are disposed toward each other. A tube section separating member is moved into contact with the bent tubes and through the space between each bight and its holder to create a set of two tube sections from each bent tube. A tube section from one set is aligned with a tube section from the other set and the aligned sections are welded together. The structural element may be a weld seam resulting from a prior welding.

A METHOD FOR FORMING STRUCTURAL PANELS HAVING A CORE WITH THERMOPLASTIC RESIN FACINGS AND PANEL FORMED THEREBY

A process for fabricating panels of a core material with thermoplastic resin facings. The core material is either foam or a honeycomb structure from aramid paper.

Use of waste carpet as backing filler for floor coverings

The amount of waste carpeting that is landfilled or otherwise disposed of is significantly reduced, as is the need for the mining mineral fillers, by utilizing specially processed waste carpeting as a filler in the production of new hot melt carpet backcoating, roofing materials, or other similar products. Waste carpeting (post-consumer and/or waste from new carpet manufacture) is collected and size-reduced, typically in a first coarse size-reduction, and then after densification to a finer size-reduction. The size-reduced waste carpeting is added as filler to at least one other material, such as polymers in standard latex, EVA, or PVC carpet backcoatings, to provide a hot melt composite used in the manufacture of a useful product (like carpet backcoating), and then the composite material is used to make the useful product (such as carpet backcoating, which is used as a primary or secondary backcoating in the manufacture of new carpeting). The waste carpeting may provide between about 40-100% of the filler of carpet backcoating, with any remainder made up by conventional fillers, such as calcium carbonate.

The invention provides a method of making such tube by overlapping and joining the longitudinal edges (231) of a suitable sheet material (230) to make a flattened tube (230A), marking on said tube a fold line (234) corresponding to the desired bend position, marking corresponding area (237A, 237B) one on each side of the fold line, folding about the fold line to bring and together these areas and then sealing the ends (232A, 232B) of the tube. By making a number of bends the ends of the tube can be sealed to each other, thereby making an endless tube of polygonal plan form.
