Abstract:
A method is provided for producing discrete three-dimensional cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure in a rotary forming mould system. The method includes providing an air-formed cellulose blank structure, wherein the cellulose blank structure is air-formed from cellulose fibres; transporting the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a the rotary forming mould system; feeding the air-formed cellulose blank structure to a position between a first mould part and a second mould part, and heating the air-formed cellulose blank structure; forming the three-dimensional cellulose products from the air-formed cellulose blank structure in the rotary forming mould system, by pressing the heated air-formed cellulose blank structure with a forming pressure.
Abstract:
A method for the three-dimensional shaping of flat material made from in particular, natural fibers, such as for example, paper or cardboard, using 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 deep-drawn material corresponds at least approximately to the diameter of the die.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a shaped paperboard product. According to the invention, a paperboard blank is shaped by means of a shaping tool (2) comprising a female tool element (3) and a male tool element (4), of which tool elements one is moved relative to the other tool element, and a frame tool element (5) arranged in connection with the male tool element, and the brim of the paperboard product being formed is evened by means of the frame tool element in connection with shaping. The invention also relates to the use of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A corrugated display sign with a former panel secured to a backer panel. The former panel includes a central section opposed by two lateral sections, two support members partially cut away from the central section and maintaining a connection with the central section via at least one fold line, and two or more preformed slots, with one slot positioned adjacent to the support members. The display sign further includes a graphic panel operable to be wrapped around exterior edges of the lateral sections, and having ends secured to the backer panel. The display sign is capable of being erected from a knockdown configuration to an erected configuration by folding the lateral sections away from the central section and wrapping the graphic panel about the lateral sections.
Abstract:
Forming die assemblies for producing pressware are provided. In one or more embodiments, a forming die assembly can include an upper forming die, a lower forming die, and one or more lower forming springs coupled to the lower forming die, where the lower forming springs can be configured to spring load the lower forming die against the upper forming die when the forming die assembly is disposed in a closed position. The upper forming die can include an upper knockout, a forming punch, and a pressure ring aligned along a central axis of the forming die assembly, and the lower forming die can include a lower knockout and a contour rim aligned along the central axis of the forming die assembly. The lower surfaces of the upper forming die can form a punch profile and the upper surfaces of the lower forming die can form a forming profile.
Abstract:
Method of correcting a bending operation performed by a press brake, the bottom beam of which contains deformation compensation cylinders, in which a calibration nomogram is pre-recorded using very short calibration pieces, this nomogram establishing a correspondence between the forces measured at the side frames and the pressures applicable to the compensation cylinders in order to keep the bottom beam substantially straight. During a subsequent bending operation, pressure values resulting from this nomogram are applied to the compensation cylinders according to the forces measured at the side frames. A bottom dead center is recalculated by taking account of the deformation of the top beam, the deformation of the side frames, the actual length and thickness of the piece, and the spring effect.
Abstract:
An electrically insulating formed channel member is made of a sheet of an electrically insulating material capable of being press formed that is cut to provide radially projecting portions. Thereafter, the sheet is press-formed to form a formed channel member including the channel portion and the projection portions and bent to extend along the inner corner of a rectangular pancake coil with the web located at the inner side of the corner curvature. The sheet material may preferably be a dray paper press board. Ripples may be provided in the sheet material prior to the step of press-forming. The moisture in the sheet material may also be adjusted prior to the step of press-forming.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for accurately sizing pieces of insulation and for placing formed pieces of insulation into slots of a magnetic core. Dielectric strip material is fed to a sizing and forming station by a strip accumulating and urging device, and dielectric material pieces of preselected sizes are precisely formed. The core is precisely aligned relative to the forming member so that the insulation pieces may be inserted into a core slot which the insulation piece has been particularly formed to fit. Preferred form of apparatus includes constant force mechanisms for accurately returning strip material length determining, severing, and forming mechanisms to respective dwell positions; positive acting cams, e.g., conjugate and face cams, in selected mechanism drive trains; and positively controlled compensating means for selectively positioning a core support relative to a datum plane of the apparatus. Means in the form of relatively movable pressure bars are urged, by constant force mechanisms, toward forming devices having different sizes and shapes to form insulators there against. In another embodiment, a modified guide ring for forming and inserting devices is provided.
