Abstract:
An improved palletized container construction, characterized by the provision of overlapping interlocked bottom flaps to which are secured support blocks for supporting the container in an elevated position relative to a fixed surface. More particularly, a first side bottom flap is slotted at its free extremity to define a center interlocking portion contained between a pair of outer interlocking portions. The center interlocking portion carries at least one support block that is arranged for longitudinal alignment with corresponding support blocks carried by the other side bottom wall adjacent its free corner portions. Additional rows of support blocks are carried by said side bottom flaps adjacent and parallel with their hinge lines.
Abstract:
Apparatus for impregnating corrugated cardboard during the manufacturing process forming the said corrugated cardboard. A vacuum is formed within the corrugations of the cardboard and impregnating material is introduced into the corrugations under the influence of the said vacuum. The impregnating material is introduced under conditions which may be varied with respect to composition, temperature, viscosity and other variable process parameters. The apparatus of this invention includes a means for producing a suction on one edge of a corrugated cardboard while introducing impregnating material at the other edge of the corrugated cardboard as it passes through the impregnating apparatus.
Abstract:
A device for nailing together a framework including a first support for elements of the framework, and a second support movable relative to the first support, the second support having opposed nailing gun means thereon which are operable by trigger arrangements activated upon engagement by members of the framework to be nailed, there being means biasing the framework members inwardly to impose a compressive force on them, together with pulley means for properly aligning the framework members at the time nails are driven. A traction unit may be used to pull the nailing unit over the first support in the nailing operation, while being capable of lifting the nailing unit above the first support during return movement in which the nailing unit is inoperative. The nails are driven while the device is in motion.
Abstract:
Carton means adapted for use in connection with dispensing apparatus including a plurality of container means for simultaneously discharging separate pressure fluids, respectively, characterized by the provision of support means for supporting the containers in vertical side-by-side relation within and spaced from the ends of said carton, and carrying handle means adjacent the top of said carton for the manual transport thereof in a vertical orientation. In accordance with one feature of the invention, valve-operating means are provided adjacent the handle means for operating the discharge valves of all the containers to permit a user with one hand to both carry the apparatus and to simultaneously operate all the discharge valves associated therewith. According to a second feature, the carton includes improved container support means comprising additional bottom panel means and handle panel means arranged at the lower and upper ends of the carton, respectively, for achieving a greatly strengthened rugged carton construction.
Abstract:
Thermosetting resinous adhesives, useful particularly as plywood or lumber laminating adhesives, comprise a phenol-, resorcinol-, urea-, or melamine-formaldehyde resin and an extender therefor. The extender comprises an aqueous cellulosic pump used in relative proportions of from about 1-50 parts by weight extender for each 100 parts by weight resin, dry solids basis. Water is included in amount sufficient to impart to the compositions a viscosity of 1,000-12,000 centipoises. The cellulosic pulp extender preferably comprises the pulp mill paper making waste sludges containing the discarded cellulosic fines separated from the pulp products of the mill. Its inclusion has the effect of holding the water at the glue line and accordingly of improving significantly the assembly time characteristics of the adhesive.
Abstract:
METHOD FOR IMPREGNATING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS FORMING THE SAID CORRUGATED CARDBOARD, AND RESULTANT PRODUCT. A VACUUM IS FORMED WITHIN THE CORRUGATIONS OF THE CARDBOARD AND IMPREGNATING MATERIAL IS INTRODUCED INTO THE CORRUGATIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SAID VACUUM. THE IMPREGNATING MATERIAL IS INTRODUCED UNDER CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE VARIED WITH RESPECT TO COMPOSITION, TEMPERATURE, VISCOSITY AND OTHER
VARIABLE PROCESS PARAMETERS. THE APPARATUS OF THIS INVENTION INCLUDES A MEANS FOR PRODUCING A SUCTION ON ONE EDGE OF ACORRUGATED CARDBOARD WHILE INTRODUCING IMPREGNATING MATERIAL AT THE OTHER EDGE OF THE CORRUGATED CARDBOARD AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE IMPREGNATING APPARATUS.
Abstract:
Apparatus for impregnating longitudinally travelling corrugated board having transversely extending flutes, including suction means arranged adjacent one longitudinal edge of the board for establishing a vacuum in the flutes to draw a material, such as an impregnant, therethrough. The invention is characterized by the provision of retaining means for preventing undesirable lateral displacement of the board in the direction of the suction means. In the preferred embodiment, the retaining means comprise longitudinally extending endless belt means responsive to the vacuum established in the flutes for clamping the moving board against lateral displacement without crushing the flutes or causing damage to the board. Preferably the endless belt means are provided with longitudinal ribs that extend within corresponding grooves in the rollers upon which the belts are mounted, thereby preventing lateral movement of the belt meansand the board-relative to the rollers. In accordance with an important feature of the invention, flow control means are provided for accurately controlling the speed and/or extent of longitudinal penetration of the material through the flutes.
