An adhesive and release liner application system and method. A bottom table is slidable with respect to a frame and a middle table is slidable with respect to the bottom table. An elevator drive subsystem between a top table and the middle table is configured to adjust the elevation of the top table relative to the middle table. An adhesive head, connected to an adhesive supply subsystem, a release liner applicator, a release liner cutter, and a staple gun are mounted to the top table for applying the adhesive to a surface of a structural member positioned adjacent the top table, for applying a release liner over the adhesive on the surface, for inserting at least one staple through the release liner and into the surface, and for cutting the release liner.

A glued rod insert (GRI) for use in mass timber construction comprising a generally cylindrical collar having: an internal concentric threaded bore for receiving a threaded rod, circumferential ridges or ribs on the exterior for securely seating within a hole drilled in wood, and a relief channel for excess glue. A method using the glued rod insert (GRI) to install threaded rods in wood components in mass timber construction.

The present disclosure features tube insertion devices that are configured to allow a user to manually insert a hollow tube into a receiving bore, e.g., a pen tube into the bore of a blank. The disclosure also features methods of using such devices. In some implementations, the devices comprise (a) a pair of elongated arms, each arm comprising a gripping portion and an insertion portions, each of the insertion portions terminating in a distal tip, and (b) a connecting portion joining the arms such that the arms pivot about the connecting portion in a plane defined by the arms when the gripping portions are pressed together by a user. Each of the insertion portions preferably includes a relatively wider proximal portion and a relatively narrower distal tube-carrying portion, the change in width between the proximal portion and the distal portion defining a stop surface.

A structure comprising a softwood-ceiling/hardwood-floor formed of a single set of adjacent boards. Each of the boards including a hardwood layer bonded to a softwood layer, the board having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge having a tongue, the second edge having a groove, the first edge having a first chamfer on the softwood layer, the second edge having a second chamfer on the softwood layer. All boards securely attached to carrying beams that span the walls between two levels within a building.

A faux bamboo shade is formed from a panel of faux bamboo slats. The faux bamboo slats are elongated, preferably plastic, strips having a front face and a rear face. At least one face of each strip is printed with an array of colors selected and applied to simulate color and texture of a real bamboo slat. These strips may be printed or deformed to simulate a grain pattern and at least one bamboo knot. The plastic strips may also be printed in a manner to simulate a scorch pattern.
摘要:
A method of producing a virtually fireproof plywood from perennial grasses such as Arundo donax Ligneous, various bamboo strains, or a blend thereof, by first weaving the stalks of these plants into a mat and then layering these mats and binding each layer with any one of several commercial resins mixed with potash for the purpose of enhancing the board's fire retardant quality. The result is the formation of a finished product with structural board attributes and an exceptionally high flash point in relation to other manufactured board products made from forest materials.

A jig for cutting box joints on a table saw, including guide bar clamps adapted to be joined to guide bars of a table saw; a spacer joined to the guide bar clamps; a spacer strip joined to the spacer, the spacer strip defining spacer apertures; a board clamp joined to an engagement pin, the engagement pin engaging one of the spacer apertures of the spacer strip; and mechanism for offsetting pairs of boards such that grooves and projections on a pair of boards is cuttable offset from a corresponding pair and method of use including joining a jig to a table saw; clamping at least two pairs of boards to the jig; positioning the clamped boards relative to the table saw; cutting a groove through all boards; repositioning the clamped boards relative to the table saw; cutting another groove spaced apart from the first groove; repeating the steps of repositioning and cutting another groove until grooves have been cut from one edge to an opposing edge with projections disposed between the grooves; and interlacing the projections and grooves of the pairs of boards to form a box joint.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for manufacturing bamboo nails. The method includes horizontally laying down small bamboo plates, obtained by cutting a bamboo piece radially from the center axis thereof, in a press. The small bamboo plates are then pressed perpendicularly to the fibers to produce a compressed flat plate. Finally, the compressed flat plate is cut in the shape of a multangular column. Thus the strength of a wooden material is increased.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a post, beam or header from elongated lumber pieces, which includes providing a plank made of elongated, edge-glued lumber pieces, cutting the plank into elongated boards of predetermined dimensions calculated to minimize cutting and trimming waste. After preparing the elongated boards for gluing each of the gluing surfaces is glued and the boards assembled into a post, beam or header. Finally, the gluing surfaces are compressed using a conventional one-dimensional press. By cutting the edge-glued planks to dimensions that allow for minimum waste in preparing the boards for gluing, the cost of fabricating beams can be minimized. By using a conventional one-dimensional press, complexity and capital costs are minimized, overall manufacturing costs are reduced, and more sophisticated glue-up patterns are possible.

Method for spectroscopically monitoring resin applied to a planar surface of veneer-wood sheets during travel in an assembly line. Spectroscopic instrumentation for monitoring applied resin is calibrated by measurements of predetermined resin applications to reference-test-samples, so as to provide a pre-determined relationship enabling monitoring of applied resin, during commercial production of a veneer-wood product using the visible light spectrum and near infrared extending to 2500 nm. Monitoring of selected radiation absorbance by the applied resin is carried out by spectroscopic measurement of non-absorbed electromagnetic radiation, as reflected back by the wood-veneer matrix; selected wavelengths are utilized for determining average resin-weight per designated surface area of a sheet. Selecting penetrative wavelengths enables use of multiple types of hardwood and softwood for veneer sheets during in-line production, providing for separate calibration for selected wood type and resin combinations measuring instrumentation.
