The dunnage can be used for protecting edges of articles such as wood furniture during shipping and has a honeycomb panel having a first and second opposed faces, and a first and second adjacent panel sections folded relative to each other along a V-groove extending into the first face, a layer of antiskid cohesive material applied on the V-groove and maintaining said first and second adjacent panels in said folded configuration, and also applied on a substantial portion of one of said first and second adjacent panel sections, on the first face. The cohesive on the exposed face of the folded dunnage acts as an antiskid which reduces the likelihood of the dunnage sliding once applied to the edge of the article, and also reduces the abrasiveness of the honeycomb panel. A process of production is also disclosed where the V-groove can be made on line. |

A method for producing an envelope having improved seal integrity, comprising the steps of (i) applying a first conductive material to the flap of the envelope in an first area corresponding to a first seal location between the flap and the body portion of the envelope and (ii) applying a second conductive material to the body portion of the envelope in a second area corresponding to a second seal location between the body portion and flap of the envelope, the first and second seal locations being selected such that an end of the first conductive material contacts an end of the second conductive material when the conductive materials are arranged in a substantially common plane. The method further comprises the steps of sealing the flap to the body portion by closing the flap onto the body portion of the envelope to cause the conductive materials to lie in the substantially common plane, and inspecting the sealing interface to determine whether the conductive materials exhibit a property of electrical continuity thereby confirming that a seal has been formed between the flap and body portion of the envelope. A system and article is also described for producing an envelope having improved seal integrity. |

An apparatus for manufacturing cellular laminate structural panels includes one or more supply stations of a flexible strip material including folding rollers for sequentially folding the strip material into cellular structures and feeding the cellular structures into a conveyor where the cellular structures are held in compression. The apparatus further includes a laminating station where the folded cellular structures are laminated to an upper and/or lower sheet material to which lines of a bonding medium have been applied prior to engagement with the cellular structures. The folded cellular structures are heated before engaging the sheet material so as to enhance the bonding of the sheet material to the cellular structures and subsequent to bonding, the laminate is passed through a cooling station to set the bonding medium. Downstream from the laminating station, the laminate passes through a side edge folding station where edges of the sheet material are folded over side edges of the laminate to finish the side edges of the laminate and subsequently the laminate is passed into a cutter for cutting the continuous laminate into predetermined lengths. Ends of the cut panels then receive rigid edge strips to fully finish the panel. The method of the invention includes the steps performed by the components of the apparatus. |

A method for producing a cellular window covering product includes the steps of pleating a continuous length of material, bonding together opposing faces on one side of the product to form a series of enclosed cells, bonding together opposed faces on the other side of the product to form another series of enclosed cells, and removing creases from one side of the product to open one of the series of enclosed cells while the other series of enclosed cells remains intact and connected. The creases may be removed by abrading the material along the creases. The opposed faces may be bonded by applying a bead of adhesive to one of the faces and compressing the faces together. Also provided is a window covering having an expandable and collapsible body. The body has a number of strips of material that are creased in the center parallel to the long edges, which are joined together to form a tab. Each of the strips of material define an elongated cell bounded by the creased fold on one side and the tab on the other. Successive cells are joined together by bond lines intermediate the folds and the tabs. A headrail is connected to the top of the body, and a bottom rail is connected to the bottom of the body. The body is provided with a means for raising and lowering the bottom rail with respect to the headrail. |

A laminated material relatively large in thickness and having a curved surface of small radius, wherein a laminated material (170) as a raw material is provided in which surface plates (181, 182) are fixed to both surfaces of a core material (183) and the surface plate (181) on the internal side of an arc is not fixed to the core material (183) and, with one end side of the laminated material (170) fixed to frames (30, 40), the other end of the surface plate (181) is moved in the direction apart from the core material (183) so as to bend it in arc-shape, the other end being not fixed to the core material (183). |

An apparatus for making expandable honeycomb structures suitable for use as window coverings. In one embodiment, folded tubular strips with adhesive lines are fed continuously through a cutter which cuts them into predetermined lengths. The cut strips are then accelerated to a stacker for further processing before the next cut strip arrives. In another embodiment, webs of material are fed continuously in a downstream direction, adhesive lines are applied, a middle web is slitted into strips, and the strips bonded along opposite edges to the outer webs. By choosing for the outer webs transparent or porous material, and for the middle web opaque material, a light or air controlling honeycomb structure results. |

A structural panel for use in building structures or in the formation, finish or decoration thereof includes an outer sheet and a connector sheet with a plurality of collapsible or compressible dividers therebetween. The panel in a rest condition is expanded and of a desired thickness for final use but can be compressed into a relatively thin thickness or profile for shipping purposes. The panel is very lightweight but structurally strong and can be selectively bent in one transverse direction if desired. The panel can be easily cut or formed into any predetermined size or shape. |

A method of constructing a honeycomb structure generally undetectable by radar. The method includes winding first and second sheets of radar absorbent material onto a central roller. A first printer prints a plurality of parallel adhesive linear deposits on the first sheet of material as it passes across the first printer. A second printer prints a plurality of parallel adhesive linear deposits on the second sheet of material as it passes across the second printer. The first and second linear deposits are offset with respect to each other. The first and second sheet materials overlap one another during winding onto the central roller. Once the first and second sheets are overlapped onto one another, the adhesive deposits secure sheets together to form a non-expanded honeycomb structure. The non-expanded honeycomb structure is removed from the central roller and is expanded to form the expanded honeycomb structure. |

Metal, fiber or plastic panels are fabricated by the attachment of planar imperforate and/or partially perforated outer sheets to a specially formed center member comprising a web or sheet having a deformed surface defining an array of adjacent triangular projections and depressions. The center member is produced by the longitudinal cutting and folding of the web as it passes between two forming cylinders which mesh with one another, the cylinder peripheries carrying complementary arrays of spaced triangular-shaped tooth elements having their base lines aligned in the opposing cylinders, to shear and thereby relieve the passing web laterally so as to produce intermittent parallel cuts and angular folds in the web while gathering the web longitudinally thereby to form triangular, flat-topped cells in the center member. Instead of using two outer sheets, the formed center member can be used per se, e.g., as a packing medium, or it can be combined with only one outer sheet to form a single-face product. |
