Two piece cardboard backed placards - uses right angled conveyor systems to pre shape printed sheets and backing pieces

The two part flat printed placards consist of a printed sheet and a cardboard underlay. A twin conveyor system carries the printed sheet and the cardboard and around which the printed sheet is wrapped and glued. Printed sheets are feed through forming rolls where one pair of edges are trimmed and partly bent along a conveyor then deposited on a further conveyor strip at right angles to a conveyor where the pair of edges are shaped. The shaped printed sheet is then conveyed and married with the cardboard insert from a conveyor, and removed to the glueing and finishing line.

Method of manufacturing honeycomb material from pressable material, e.g. cardboard, light metal foil - involves using toothed rollers pressing sheets together to which adhesive strips have been applied while rods are fed between sheets

The method involves feeding two sheets (1,7) between two toothed rollers (3,3'). Strips of adhesive are first applied to at least one of the sheets. The strips of adhesive run at right-angles to the direction in which the sheets are fed in. The tops of the teeth on the rollers press the sheets together over the areas to which adhesive is applied. While the sheets are fed between the rollers, tubes or rods of hexagonal cross-section of which the edges protrude, are fed-in between the sheets to fill the hollow spaces which are created by the gaps between the teeth of the rollers.

A covering layer overlaps all round the edges of a ticket or label which has on its undersurface an adhesive layer by which it is secured detachably to a carrier or to an enclosing matrix, the surface of which has been coated with an adhesion repellant. The covering layer is not attached to the ticket but adheres to the carrier or the matrix along two parallel lines on each side of the ticket or along a line enclosing the ticket. The covering layer is pref. provided with a layer of polyethylene on the underside by which it can be hot welded to the carrier. The ticket on the goods can thus be made visible or invisible, if the covering layer is opaque and/or prevented from coming into contact with foodstuffs and soiling them.

Method and apparatus for punching labels or the like out of stacks of sheetlike material, especially of paper

The invention relates to a method for punching labels or the like out of stacks of sheetlike material, especially paper, using a punching tool, e.g. in a bridge plate punching machine, which method permits perfect successive punching out of labels or the like from stacks of sheetlike material, and to an apparatus for implementing such a method. Provision is made in the method for the sheets of the stack to be mechanically smoothed back to their original flat position after each individual punching action or after a plurality of punching actions. The punching machine provided for this is characterised in that at least one roller or similar smoothing-out apparatus is arranged above the stack of sheets outside the punching region, which roller or smoothing-out device can be lowered onto the stack of sheets after each punching action or after a plurality of punching actions, after which the stack of sheets can be moved under the roller or similar smoothing-out device, with smoothing of the ...

Honeycomb structure, preferably for a composite material in sheet form, a composite material and a process for producing such a composite material

Honeycomb structures are used, inter alia, in caravans in order to keep their towing load as low as possible. A disadvantage of known sandwich profiles is the adhesive bonding of the core and outer layer, which consist of different materials, for example metal and a fibrous composite material, because alternating flexural loading causes the outer layer to buckle, become detached and lose its supporting function. The novel composite material is to be adequately resistant to bending and shearing in spite of a low density. The composite material (1) comprises strips (5) which run in a curved form and are firmly bonded to one another over the broad area of the contact surfaces. Openings (10) pass through the material of the strips (5). The said openings are of a slot-like design, and their edges are bent up in the manner of beads. The beads (11), produced by the bending up of the edges of the openings (10), of neighbouring strips (5) engage in one another in a spoon-like manner, at least over ...

Method for manufacturing molded parts from paper, cardboard or paperboard, involves cutting and inserting material between mold and die, and permanently deforming between mold and die by compression molding

The method involves cutting and inserting material between a mold and a die, and permanently deforming between the mold and a die by compression molding. A base area and a frame are formed perpendicular to the base. The channels running longitudinal to frame are placed before the compression molding of the material. The channels run selectively geometrically and flexible in direction towards the end of the frame so that shortage of material in the frame is generated by the channel shape.

Expandable Slit Sheet Packaging Material That Interlocks When Layered and Expanded

In accordance with a broad embodiment of the invention, a novel paper product is comprised of two or more slit sheet packing material layers, each layer having its own slit pattern design to create interlocking layers of expansion sheet packaging materials. Each layer expands to create a three dimensional open netting of cells of hexagons, and the like, and is designed to have limited nesting with its opposing layer, thereby maximizing the thickness of the combined layers as compared to nested layers. Adjacent layers have differing slit patterns and can be expanded through expander type machinery such that the expansion rates of the differing slit pattern layers can be varied to deliver the same width of exiting expanded material from each layer. Preferably the differing slit patterns produce when expanded, inclined land area that have the same number of rows per inch, but different angles of inclination of the land areas, such that adjacent layers can interlock, that is, have a restricted amount of nesting. 1. The method of producing at least a pair of interlocking adjacent layers of a paper packaging product ,said pair of interlocking adjacent layers being formed of a first sheet of slit paper and a second sheet of slit paper,said first sheet of slit paper having a first slit pattern and said second sheet of slit paper having said first slit pattern, said sit pattern upon expansion, forming cells that include land regions that are inclined with respect to the plane of the unexpanded sheet,slitting said first sheet of slit paper and said second sheet of sit paper to produce slits that upon expansion, produce lands regions of said first sheet that have angles of inclination in the range for 50 to 85 degrees,orienting and expanding said second sheet of slit paper, and causing said land regions to have an inclination angle in the range from 130 to 95° relative to said first sheet of slit paper,layering said first expanded sheet on said second expanded sheet, and ...
