  • Publication number: 20030209115
    Abstract: A line of tool heads are individually positioned along a track and locked in operative position from a transport position along the track in which each of the tool heads is releasably connected to the next adjacent tool head in the line and the tool head at one end of the line is similarly releasably connected to a drive engine. The engine moves the train of coupled tool heads to an initial position where the first tool head at the end of the train is locked in its operative position and then uncoupled from the train. The remaining tool heads are sequentially positioned, locked and released from the train. The next to last of the tool heads being locked in place and then uncoupled from the engine which runs on the same track, carries the last tool head and is also locked in its final operative position.

  • Patent number: 5690601
    Abstract: Corrugated paperboard box blanks are formed with corner fold lines defined by a colinear slit and score. The score deflects one slit edge of the liner out of the plane of the blank such that, when a subsequent lateral fold is made on the line, one slit edge tucks consistently under the other along the full length of the fold line. The resultant box blanks fold more squarely than prior art folded boxes with no significant loss in the compressive strength of the box.
