Abstract:
A simple multi-piece manual tool intended for use in a home or small kitchen wherein the tool is used to form baking liner material into a baking liner having flat bottom and fluted sidewalls around the perimeter. The general perimeter of the formed article may be traditional circular as for cupcakes or alternatively a rectangle or some other geometric or non-geometric shape. This baking liner material may be pre-coated with food release agent or colored or have a custom pre-printed pattern or image. Once the baking liner material is formed, the user puts it into a suitable baking pan to be filled with batter or material to be baked or may alternatively use the formed liner as a single serve container.
Abstract:
It is a method (1) for producing hangers and similar devices for clothing, comprising at least one concave area, starting from a flat layer of paper material, that provides for the following steps:
a) wetting said flat layer of paper material so as to increase the humidity percentage with respect to the standard humidity percentage at room temperature; b) leaving said layer of paper material to rest for a predetermined period of time so that said humidity percentage is uniformly distributed throughout the entire thickness of said flat layer of paper material; c) cutting said flat layer of paper material so as to define an appropriate shape for the realization of said hanger; d) carrying out a knurling operation on at least one portion of said cut flat layer of paper material in which said at least one concave area will be realized; e) forming said cut flat layer of paper material by means of the introduction of said cut flat layer of paper material between a mould and a counter-mould and subsequently through pressing; f) carrying out a stabilisation operation of said hanger, reducing the humidity percentage thereof.
Abstract:
Systems for producing pressware are provided. In one or more embodiments, a system can include an upper moveable platen, a lower moveable platen, a stationary platen, a punch platen, and one or more forming die assemblies. The upper moveable platen and the punch platen can be disposed above the stationary platen and the lower moveable platen can be disposed below the stationary platen. The upper moveable platen, the punch platen, and the lower moveable platen can be configured to move toward and away from the stationary platen. Each forming die assembly can include a set of upper and lower forming dies. The upper and lower forming dies can be coupled to the upper and lower moveable platens, respectively, and configured to press substrates to form pressware products within passageways extending through the stationary platen.
Abstract:
A method for three-dimensional shaping of flat material, in particular material composed of natural fibers, such as paper or cardboard, for example, uses a deep-drawing piston and a die, through which or into which the material is drawn. The diameter of the deep-drawing piston plus the material thickness of the material to be deep-drawn corresponds at least approximately to the diameter of the die.
Abstract:
An embossing apparatus for applying an embossing pattern to a wrapper for a smoking article, the embossing apparatus configured so as to act to at least partially minimize the reduction, in at least one direction, in the tensile strength of the wrapper resulting from the application of said embossing pattern.

Abstract:
A craft device for use in constructing aerial projectiles and in particular, paper airplanes. The device includes a press having a lower die portion and an upper die portion pivotally connected thereto along one edge. A plurality of detents or protrusions on the lower die portion are provided in alignment with complementary holes in the upper die portion and serve to perforate a suitable sheet of material such as paper to define a plurality of fold lines on the sheet. The device includes a template alignable on the sheet so that a particular design or coloration can be applied to the sheet to add realistic characteristics to the projectile. A nose piece is frictionally secured to one edge of the sheet to maintain the folds and add a predetermined amount of weight to aid in flight control.
