Abstract: A method for the production of a packaging for a CD-like storage medium, by means of a lower die, with a recess and an upper die with a working stamp corresponding to the recess. A card of deep-drawable material is placed between the upper and lower die and an elastic body is placed between the card and the lower die or between the card and the upper die.

Abstract: A tool for forming articles from sheets of conformable material comprises a base and a handle. The base includes a circular-shaped groove formed in a face thereof whereby the circular-shaped groove defines a circular-shaped protrusion encompassed thereby. The handle includes a circular-shaped annular extension engagable within the circular-shaped groove for enabling an engaged portion of a sheet of conformable material positioned between the base and the handle to be conformed within the circular-shaped groove by forcibly engaging the circular-shaped annular extension within the circular-shaped groove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a packaging for a CD-like storage medium, by means of a lower die, with a recess and an upper die with a working stamp corresponding to the recess. The invention further relates to the following method steps—a card of deep-drawable material is placed between the upper and lower die and an elastic body is placed between the card and the lower die or between the card and the upper die.

Abstract: Methods for setting-up a female blanking die for a die cutting machine for die cutting and/or blanking a carton blank, and universal press frames for use in such setting-up are all provided herein. The first stages in the erection of the female blanking die, which includes a rectangular framework of a front rail, a rear rail and two side rails, involve accurate placement of a template within the rectangular framework. All the rails are provided with a dovetail groove along its inside edges. This is achieved by the use of centre line orientation cylinders on a template, a centre line rod through aligned holes in the centre line orientation cylinders and centre line brackets at the precise centre point of the front and the rear rails. The template is mounted atop the centre line brackets by means of the centre line rod and rests loosely on template corner locking clamps.

Abstract: A roll and a process of making a roll for smoothing a web. The roll includes a roll core having an outer surface. A covering layer disposed on the outer surface of the roll core, the covering layer having an inner surface and an outer surface. The covering layer includes a resilient matrix material and fibers. The number of fibers varies radially from the inner surface to the outer surface of the covering layer. The process includes providing a roll core having an outer surface, and applying a covering layer on the outer surface of the roll core the covering layer having an inner surface and an outer surface. The covering layer includes a resilient matrix material and fibers, wherein the number of fibers varies radially from the inner surface to the outer surface of the covering layer.
