Abstract:
An expandable insulation blanket (10) includes a body of insulation material (12) having a first edge (14) and a second edge (16) wherein the first and second edges are opposite one another. A first slit (18) defines a first hinge point (20) between a first end (21) of the first slit and the first edge, a second hinge point (22) between a second end (23) of the first slit and the second edge and a third hinge point (24) between a third end (43) of the first slit and the first edge. A first hinge body (26) is outlined by the first slit, the first hinge point and the third hinge point. A second slit (28) extends across the first hinge body and defines a fourth hinge point (30) between the second slit and the first slit. When expanded the insulation body includes a substantially triangular shaped opening (62).
Abstract:
A building system comprising rectangular strips (1), that can be attached to each other using tabs (2) and notches (3). The building system uses software to simulate and print the models. The software manipulates similar rectangular strips. The surface of the rectangular strips, of the building system as well as the software, comprises a plurality of folding lines (5, 6), regularly distributed over that entire surface. Each strip (1) can be folded along these folding lines to become a curved surface in space. Several curved strips (1) can be attached to each other to form a 3D-model, both physically with the building system as well as virtually with the software. The software can be used to print the model with an digital image. In particular one can deform an ordinary photo to a realistic 3D-image.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (10) for forming expandable-collapsible articles (20) comprises a horizontally oriented frame (46) which receives one or more webs of sheet material from a feeding mechanism (12a, 12b), a pusher bar (16) having upper (98) and lower (100) gripper members engageable with the sheet material and a stripper bar (18) having upper (172) and lower (174) stripper members movable between folding position and discharge position with respect to the frame (46). One or more linear actuators (134, 136) are provided to move the pusher bar (16) toward and away from the stripper bar (18), and the extent of linear movement of such actuators is adjustable so that different lengths of sheet material can be advanced by the pusher bar (16) into contact with the stripper bar (18) thus forming fold lines in the sheet material with varying spaces therebetween. An expandable-collapsible product (20) is formed having an accordion fold configuration with an outwardly facing surface of essentially any desired contoured shape.

Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de réalisation d'une paroi gaufrée ou plissée dont le motif de base comprend deux dièdres adjacents, l'un concave et l'autre convexe, dont le contour des faces est un parallélogramme et dont les arêtes sont dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre et ont des projections dans un plan horizontal sensiblement colinéaires (D), caractérisé en ce qu'on imprime sur une bande plane (10) par emboutissage (11) une ébauche de gaufrage, en ce qu'on contraint (12,15) la bande à une diminution progressive de sa dimension prise perpendiculairement à la projection plane susdite des arêtes jusqu'à atteindre un seuil déterminé de résistance à la déformation et en ce qu'on procède (17) à un dépliement progressif contrôlé de la bande ainsi déformée jusqu'à l'obtention de l'épaisseur voulue.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method for the production of a multi-layered sandwich-lightweight building board (2). According to the invention, a thermoplastic supporting core (3) is connected to at least one cover layer (4) made of a plate-shaped element. The cover layer (4) is made of a fibre material (6) in the form of fibres, fibre tissue, non-woven and rovings or similar arrangement and liquid thermoplastic material which are guided together and the liquid thermoplastic material is rolled into or walked into the fibre material (6) under pressure. Said cover layer (4) is subsequently guided to the supporting core (3) and is thermoplastically connected to the supporting core (3) with the aid of the liquid thermoplastic material thereof.
Abstract:
A sheet of material which is made two dimensional which inlcudes portions that are removed that allows the sheet to be folded to create a three dimensional structure without the need for cutting and darting.
Abstract:
A new pattern for cellular core material used in sandwich type structural materials. The new pattern involves star shaped cells (10) intermixed with hexagonal shaped cells (11). The new patterned cellular core material includes star shaped cells (10) interconnected at points thereof and having hexagonal shape cells (11) positioned adjacent the star points. The new pattern allows more flexibility and can conform more easily to curved shapes.
