An improved multi-station machine is disclosed for assembling ring-type closures from generally cylindrical paperboard cylinders and generally circular paperboard discs. The machine employs a rotatable dial plate, carrying eight mandrels and an improved ring clamping system, which dial plate is incrementally rotated by an automatic indexer assembly relative to the various operating stations which consist of a ring feed station, a disc feed station, an adhesive dispensing station, a curling station, a grooving station and a closure ejecting station. Means are provided for controlling the operation of the various stations so that they operate in substantial synchronism with one another and with the rotatable dial plate. The improved disc feed station automatically feeds the lowermost disc from a stack of discs to a position over a ring on the dial plate and simultaneously forms a peripheral skirt on the disc and positions it in an open end of the ring. The adhesive dispensing station employs a pair of tube pumps to dispense adhesive and lubricant on partially assembled ring-type closures. The grooving station automatically forms a peripheral groove and a corresponding radially inwardly extending rib in the cylindrical wall of an assembled ring-type closure. The closure ejecting station provides vacuum means for withdrawing a completed closure from a mandrel on the dial plate and pressurized air means for assisting in the automatic removal of the closure from the mandrel and for automatically propelling the thus removed mandrel from the machine. The ring feed station provides means for preventing the introduction of rings onto the dial plate in response to an indication of insufficient discs at the disc feed station. Control means are provided for manually indexing the dial plate as well as prevention of disc feed, and adhesive and lubricant dispensing if an appropriate ring is not present on the dial plate, as well as control means for preventing ring feed if sufficient discs are not available at the disc feed staton. Various other control features are disclosed for the prevention of operator injury, material waste and machine jamming. |

Lorenzo Diaz |
Apparatus for manufacturing bolsters used to form the core for fabric windings includes apparatus to apply glue to specific areas of pre-sized cardboard cards, crimp the cards at specific locations to produce edges for the finished product, fold the crimped card, and compress the card to insure proper adhesion of the edges to the surfaces they contact, to form the finished bolster. The bolsters are produced by a method of passing a pre-sized cardboard card through the steps of gluing, crimping, folding and compressing, to provide a finished bolster of any predetermined length. A bolster is produced from a cardboard card of sufficient stiffness to provide for a substantially hollow construction, other than for a central stiffening spline used to determine the height of the bolster and provide rigidity to the bolster. |

A machine for manufacturing "sleuters" or other articles of folded plasterboard is described. Sleuters are employed as spacers or risers between stacks of plasterboard or other sheet material and have the advantage that they do not physically mark or discolor such plasterboard, as conventional wooden sleuters sometimes do. Plasterboard remnants are cut to a standard length, and then conveyed intermittently between work stations where they are scored to provide fold lines, folded into two pleated members while simultaneously breaking such members apart from each other, and then stapled. The folding apparatus includes upper and lower folding arms which are moved toward the plasterboard and pivoted to fold and break such board into the two pleated members. The pleated plasterboard members are transmitted from the folding section through a guide to compress them while their layers are stapled together to form the completed sleuter. The stapled sleuters are fed to a transfer means which turns them on one side and slides them into an accumulator to provide a row of sleuters. A complete row of sleuters is dropped onto a stacking mechanism that rotates 90.degree. between each row. |

A pallet 12 includes a number of runners 14 which may be sandwiched between upper and lower face sheets of corrugated paperboard. One system for manufacturing a pallet according to this invention includes a runner 14 holding station adapted to receive a supply of runners. A conveyor is used to transfer selected runners 14 from the runner holding station toward an assembly station 50. The assembly station 50 receives an upper deck sheet 16 and a lower deck sheet 18 and the selected runners 14 from the conveyor and assembles them into a pallet 12. A gluing station 80 applies an adhesive to each of the deck sheets 16, 18 prior to assembly with the selected runners 14 at the assembly station 50. A stacking station receives each of the assembled pallets 12 and forms a stack of pallets with each newly added pallet being added to a bottom of the stack such that the weight of the stack is supported by the newly added pallet to set the adhesive joining the deck sheet and the selected runners of the newly added pallet together. The up-stacking capability of the stacking station offers convenience and efficiency to the manufacturing process by collecting the assembled pallets 12 for shipping or use while utilizing the weight of the stack of pallets to set the glue which joins the runners 14 to the individual deck sheets 16, 18 of each pallet 12 in the stack. |

A folding and gluing machine is provided for converting a corrugated blanlc into a panel having at least two parallel struts formed from the blank. The machine forms the struts by having compression chains on each side that exert pressure on the sides of the blank so that struts are formed .along weaken lines that have been formed in the blank by a slitter. The struts are formed along an L shaped anvil which has creasing rollers to start the formation of the struts. Each strut is composed of two legs which are glued together. The slitter may be incorporated as a part of the folding and gluing machine. |

The invention relates to an assembly and structuring system comprising the insertion of pieces of laminated cardboard into punched grooves in panels of corrugated cardboard in order to obtain three-dimensional structures that are very resistant in terms of the materials used, as well as being light and self-supporting. The applications are multiple, ranging from items of furniture such as chairs, tables, beds, items for loading products or display units, shelves and packagings, to construction elements such as mezzanines. The assembly system is also designed to be set up in such a way that it is practical and easy for the user, without needing to use tools. It enables and facilitates the transport of the structures in parts arranged in a compact manner, occupying a relatively small space. |
