Abstract: A shipping rack for transporting rolls of flexible material includes a generally flat base for supporting a lower end of the rolls of flexible material thereon. A lid is spaced from the base for supporting an upper end of the rolls of flexible material, and a plurality of upright columns extend vertically between the base and the lid at a perimeter of the base. At least two hinges are defined in each of the upright columns to permit each of the upright columns to be moved between a vertical extended configuration wherein lower, intermediate and upper portions of the upright column are aligned and a collapsed configuration wherein the lower, intermediate and upper portions are obliquely arranged with respect to one another. A latch is associated with each of the hinges to selectively maintain the upright columns in the extended configuration.

Abstract: A flexible ferromagnetic strip is used to induction-weld seams in polymer pipes. The strip is a blend of strontium ferrite, a surfactant, and an LDPE binder. A process to produce the profile is to mix the ingredients together followed by granulation and extrusion or calendering. The strip is used in conjunction with an induction coil sized to fit over a polymer pipe coupling containing the strip and separate segments of polymer pipe. The strip is heated by induction current induced by an electromagnetic field generated by the coil. The heated strip causes the polymer pipe segments to be thermoplastically welded together.

Abstract: A sheet-feeder system for multiple feeding of magnetizable sheets from a stack through a portable magnetizer designed for on-site use, enclosed in a portable case which is hand-carryable. A sheet advancer advances single magnetizable sheets from the stack in a stack positioner. The sheet advancer includes a single-sheet separator configured to separate single magnetizable sheets from the stack during advancement. Magnetic attraction between a magnetizable sheet and a magnetic field generated by a sheet magnetizer configured to permanently magnetize single magnetizable sheets as they are advanced by the sheet advancer assists the sheet advancer to advance the single magnetizable sheets from the stack through the sheet magnetizer.

Abstract: Manufacturing methods and systems providing continuous rolls of polyvinyl materials printable on one side and “sticky”-adherable on the other side. Such continuous rolls may be thereafter cut into sizes appropriate for signs, bumper stickers, and other information and/or design objects which are affixable to appropriate surfaces for a variety of advertising and/or design uses.

Abstract: A non-linear multi-pole magnetization pattern is used to magnetize flexible magnetizable sheets. The non-linear pattern is produced by a magnetizing mechanism having a set of angled magnets. Shifting of magnetic sheet positions in a stack is eliminated by randomizing the positions of the multiple magnetic poles in such manner that as the magnetic sheets are stacked, each sheet will have a multi-pole configuration different from the adjacent sheets below and above it on the stack.

Abstract: A magnetic sheet system providing flexible magnetic sheets that are digitally printable on both sides and that serve as magnetic postcard stocks for production of customized magnetic postcards.
