  • Patent number: 4242161
    Abstract: A method and a machine for producing a latticework structure composed of cells of essentially parallelepipedon shape from e.g. paper coated on one side with synthetic resin. The web is formed over a mandrel into a sleeve of square cross-sectional shape while being successively advanced, and the sleeve is cut into bits which are flattened and by a step-by-step feeding mechanism positioned adjacent one another with one bit overlapping the following one over halfway in the transverse direction. The bits are bonded together while so positioned whereby flat elements are formed. These flat elements are stacked on top of one another by a mechanism ensuring that the elements are displaced by one cell width in their longitudinal direction and the stack of elements is then cut into pieces having the desired height of the cells. When extended, these pieces form the desired cellular latticework structure.
