Abstract: A door is made from a rigid core plate, two side bars, two end bars, a pair of face panels, and a pair of cover sheets. The core plate and bars are cut to respective sizes, and then the bars are manually fitted around the core plate, are pressed against edges of the core plate to form a door core, and are secured together at corners of the core. This core is displaced on an upstream core conveyor to a core-holding station. One of the face panels is loaded manually onto a face-panel conveyor and fed thereby through a glue applicator to a face-panel holding station and one of the cover sheets is manually set in a cover-sheet holding station. The one cover sheet is picked up and laid in a stacking station, then the one face panel is picked up and set atop the one cover sheet, and then the core is picked up and set atop the face panel.

Abstract: An arrangement for pressing flat workpieces that includes first and second heatable pressure plates forming a continuous channel therebetween and movable toward each other. First and second transport and pressure belts are associated with the first and second pressure plates, respectively. Each belt is endless and movable through the continuous channel. At least one electrically conductive abrading device is disposed in the exit region of the first transport and pressure belt from the first pressure plate with the abrading device in contact with the first transport and pressure belt.

Abstract: This invention relates to a multistory press (1) whose press frame ( 2 ) is provided with pairs of supports ( 3, 4 ) and pressure transmitting sections (21) that are each integrally formed so as to simplify the assembly thereof and to reduce the manufacturing costs.
