Abstract:
A foil coiling apparatus is described wherein a plurality of pairs of spindles are mounted upon a rotating member and moved to four successive stations including an in-feed station for cores to be gripped by the spindles, an inspection station, and two coiling stations. Arcuate plates associated with each pair of spindles guides the leading edge of the foil about a core held between said spindles to initiate coiling of the foil upon the core. A reciprocating member at the first coiling station moves into and out of cooperation with each arcuate plate in succession to extend the guiding surface of said plates assist in initiating the wrapping of the foil about the core.
Abstract:
A ventilation member composed of top and bottom component sections, which sections have holding flanges to secure soundabsorbing material between the sections, provides an economical and efficient ventilating system. The component sections are easily fastened, their design facilitates subsequent installation, and each component section has air passage openings.
Abstract:
The panel holder disclosed is in the form of a flat plate generally in the shape of a pie plate including a flat central section provided with opposite panel-supporting segments projecting from one surface for respectively engaging the opposite margins of a panel, said segments being parallel to the plane of the wall or ceiling finish and having an arcuate peripheral shape in said plane. Opposed attachment tabs extend from the opposite face of the plate for securing the holder to a support, the segments and tabs alternating around the peripheral portion of the holder with the tabs arranged to engage a support when the holder is rotated relative thereto. The holder may be cut from sheet plate material and cut and formed to provide the panel-supporting segments and the attachment tabs.
Abstract:
A panel system is disclosed including panels to provide decorative or acoustic functions or both. The panels comprise essentially hollow elements having two oppositely disposed facing sheets and an internal connecting member joining the two facing sheets. The panels may be secured edge to edge along their longitudinal edges to provide a plurality of adjacent panels. The facing sheets may be perforated and the interior provided with suitable sound absorbing material. The panels may be supported from the ceiling, wall or other fixed structure in a grid-like pattern.
