Patent number: 8623489Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Cascades Canada Inc.Inventors: Diego Depaoli, Martin Parenteau, Michael Kumar, Patrick Laroche, Hugues Prud'Homme, Ernie Carnegie

Publication number: 20120027963Abstract: A cardboard three-dimensional tree comprises: two primary substantially triangular sheets and four secondary substantially triangular sheets, each having an apex, a base edge opposed to the apex, and two side edges connecting the apex and the base edge. A first primary sheet has a primary slot extending downwardly from the apex and a second primary sheet has a primary slot extending upwardly from the base edge and engageable in the downwardly extending primary slot defined in the first primary sheet. Each primary sheet has two secondary slots extending upwardly from the base edge. Each secondary sheet has a primary slot extending downwardly from the apex and engageable in one of the secondary slots defined in the primary sheets. The primary and the secondary sheets are engageable in an interlocking intersecting relation at the slots and cooperating to form a self-standing generally substantially triangular three-dimensional structure generally in the form of an evergreen tree.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: CASCADES CANADA INC.Inventors: Christian Dube, Jean Doyon, Francois-Xavier Saint-Georges, Louis Gagnon

Patent number: 7909963Abstract: A method is provided for measuring hydrophobic contaminants distributed in paper pulp suspension. The method comprises: adding a fluorescent dye (18) to the paper pulp suspension (12) including fibers and hydrophobic contaminants, the dye (18) interacting with the hydrophobic contaminants of the paper pulp suspension (12); submitting the paper pulp suspension (12) including the fibers, the hydrophobic contaminants, and the dye (18) to light characterized by a wavelength exciting the dye (18) to produce light emission signals; and detecting the light emission signals and evaluating the signals to measure the hydrophobic contaminants.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Cascades Canada Inc.Inventor: Nicolas Di Cesare

Patent number: 7681785Abstract: A stackable corrugated box made from a foldable blank comprising a base having two opposed first edges and second edges, wall portions extending from the first edges, side wall portions extending from the second edges. The wall portions comprise a first part connected to the base and a second part connected to the first part, provided with flaps. The first parts include crush and knife cut features capable of flexing outward. When the box is erected, the side wall portions are folded perpendicularly to the base and connected via the flaps to upwardly directed walls defined by the first and second parts also folded perpendicularly to the base. The upwardly directed walls are provided with projecting tabs, so that when the box is stacked on another similar box, the crush and knife cut features flex outward creating space for the tabs from the box placed below.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Cascades Canada Inc.Inventor: Steve Grigor

Patent number: 7537180Abstract: The invention provides a paper roll, a bushing for a paper roll and a combination of a paper roll with a dispenser. The paper roll comprises a hollow paper roll core with two opposite extremities. The bushing has a cylindrical body press-fitted into at least one of the extremities of the paper roll core and the bushing further comprises a circular end wall frangibly fixed to a first end of the body and closing the extremity of the paper roll core. The end wall is provided with a central pin-receiving hole. The end wall is designed to breaks off when removing the paper roll from the dispenser. Thus, the bushing cannot be reused. Therefore, this invention participates in the enhancement of a quality control system.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2006Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Cascades Canada Inc.Inventor: Michel Morand
