Patent number: 5833106Abstract: An equalizing roll and web tracking apparatus to be used in manufacturing for providing equal tension across a web during winding operations such as used in polymer film applications, corrugators, paper machines, printing presses, cloth winders, and metal winding operations.The equalizing roll utilizes a common axis shaft mounted horizontally on two bearings or clamped rigid supports allowing for rotation. Mounted in the center of the axis shaft is a bearing assembly having convex and concave portions disposed within a sleeve. The bearing assembly is centrally mounted inside a hollow cylinder or roll machined to be in balance with respect to the centrally disposed bearing assembly. The mating of the concave and convex portions of the bearing permits a selected degree of lateral rotation in a range of from about 1 degree to about 10 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1996Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: The Servants, Inc.Inventor: J.

Patent number: 5794542Abstract: This invention relates to a lightweight, high strength disposable or recyclable corrugated collapsible container pack providing a compact collapsed shipping container including an integral corrugated pallet and providing top or side access in the erected state.Corrugated leg wrap supports utilizing a sheet of corrugated material having a plurality of score lines folded inwardly forming a generally rectangular conduit support member are used in combination with at least one corrugated sheet to form a corrugated pallet. Within the hollow conduit of the leg wrap supports, individual support members are formed from one or more layers of a narrow strip of corrugated material having a plurality of scores cut therein along the surface of one side for bending the strip into a generally square configuration. The flutes of the corrugated material comprising the support member and opposing panel support legs are oriented in the vertical plane to maximize the strength to weight ratio.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1996Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: The Servants, Inc.Inventor: Larry G.

Patent number: 5603258Abstract: A lightweight, high strength disposable or recyclable corrugated pallet. The corrugated pallet is formed from one or more sheets of flat corrugated material, at least one of which is scored and cut to form a plurality of spaced apart opposing panels. The panels are hingedly connected to the primary sheet and folded downwardly normal to the bottom surface of the sheet(s) defining a pair of opposing panel support legs. A generally square aperture is formed in the surface of the sheet upon folding of the panels. A support member complementary sized and shaped according to the aperture formed in the sheet and the length of the opposing panel support legs is inserted through the aperture and secured between the pair of opposing panel support legs, preferably with an adhesive. The support member is formed from one or more layers of a narrow strip of corrugated material having a plurality of scores cut therein along the surface of one side for bending said strip into a generally square configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1994Date of Patent: February 18, 1997Assignee: The Servant's Inc.Inventor: Larry G. Besaw
