Abstract: A multi-component shutter assembly for the production of decorative shutters having a nearly infinite variety of different combinations of louvered sections and raised panel sections with a greatly reduced tooling cost. The shutter system includes a base shutter having a perimeter frame and transverse louvers along its length, and a set of elements which are attachable to the base shutter. The elements are manufactured in a wide variety of different sizes, styles, and colors, and any one or more of the elements can be attached to the base shutter at any desired location along its length to produce a shutter assembly of the desired appearance. The elements can be fastened to the front of the base shutter to cover the louvers at that location, or some or all of the louvers of the base shutter can be cut away and removed to form an aperture and the element fastened to the base shutter to cover the aperture.

Abstract: Apparatus for impregnating wood veneer with a liquid impregnant comprises a container having an upper chamber communicated to a lower impregnation chamber. A clamping mechanism is releasably engageable to a peripheral region of the wood veneer and is cooperably received in the upper chamber in a manner to suspend the wood veneer in the impregnation chamber. An elevator overlies the container and is releasably connectable to the clamping mechanism for lowering the clamping mechanism into the upper chamber to suspend the wood veneer in the impregnation chamber therebelow. The clamping mechanism is disconnected from the elevator such that the clamping mechanism remains in the upper chamber during impregnation of the wood veneer with liquid impregnant. The impregnation chamber is evacuated by a vacuum pump after the wood veneer is suspended therein, and liquid impregnant is introduced from a storage tank to the impregnation chamber about the wood veneer. A venting valve is openable to establish ambient pressure in the impregnation chamber to impregnate the wood veneer with the liquid impregnant therein. Following impregnation, the clamping mechanism is reconnected to the elevator to enable removal of the impregnated wood veneer from the container.

Abstract: This relates to a workpiece particularly a simulated raised panel door as used on furniture and kitchen cabinets. Such doors are fabricated from a single sheet of core material and have a panel section machined into its face. In certain specific instances it is desired that the corners of the machined panel section be square and at best of very low radii. Because of this corner design it is virtually impossible and definitely time consuming to machine such corners in volume. The problem is solved by using preformed corner plugs inconjunction with a machined core. The core is composed of standard fiberboard material with a panel section machined into its face and plug housings machined into the face of the core at the panel section's proposed square corners. The corner plug is composed of a plastic material formed in part to that of a typical woodworking plug of cylindrical shape and a square inside corner section formed into the face and edge of the plug. Therefore, the square inside corner is formed by assembling the prefabricated corner plug into the plug housing of the core filling in the plug housing and completing the corner detail of the machined panel section.

Abstract translation: 这涉及一种工件，特别是用于家具和厨柜的模拟凸起面板门。 这样的门由一片芯材料制成并且具有加工成其表面的面板部分。 在某些具体情况下，期望加工面板部分的角部是正方形的，并且最好是非常低的半径。 由于这个角落设计，在体积上加工这些角落几乎是不可能的，绝对是耗时的。 通过使用与加工芯不相配的预成型角螺钉来解决问题。 核心由标准的纤维板材料组成，其面板部分加工成其表面，插头壳体在面板部分所提出的方角加工成芯部的表面。 角塞由塑料材料组成，其部分形式与典型的圆柱形木工插头的形状和形成在插头的面和边缘中的方形内角部分形成。 因此，通过将预制的角插头组装到填充在插头壳体中的芯的插头壳体中，并且完成加工面板部分的角部细节，形成角内角的方形。

Abstract: An applique used to conceal design limitations in panel doors as used on furniture and kitchen cabinets. The applique comprises of a body which permits its alignment with structural features found on panel doors in the area in and around the inside corner section of the door's panel section. With the application of the said appliques, the resultant is a workpiece comprising of a decorative element that enhances the overall character of the workpiece and also disguises either the joints between components which make-up a conventional door or the curved inside corners found on simulated raised panel doors.
