Abstract: A landscape edging form assembly for forming a concrete edging in place, includes first and second sidewalls and a series of flexible connectors extending between and interconnecting the sidewalls. The flexible connectors are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the length of the landscape edging form and enable the landscape edging form to be extended from a non-erected width where the flexible connectors are in a slack condition to an erected width where the flexible connectors are in a taut condition. Preferably, the sidewalls and the interconnecting flexible connectors of the landscape edging form assembly are a prefabricated component of the assembly. Another form assembly includes bendable sidewalls, spacers, and positioning brackets and is used to form a sinuous concrete landscape edging in place.

Abstract: At least one longitudinally extending series of cuts and separable connectors is formed in a fibrous insulation blanket with one or more rotating compression-cutting blades and a cooperating anvil to form separable blanket sections in the insulation blanket. The size and configuration of the teeth and notches in the compression-cutting blade, which may be determined through the use of an empirical equation, insure that the insulation blanket has the integrity to be handled and installed as a unit, but can be separated by hand into the blanket sections. The anvil has a moving surface that drives the compression-cutting blade at the velocity blanket is being fed between the cutting blade and the anvil.

Abstract: Resilient fibrous insulation batts are formed with the fibers of the batts being randomly oriented and entangled together and predominately lying in planes that extend substantially perpendicular to the major surfaces and the end surfaces of the batts and substantially parallel to the lateral surfaces of the batts to facilitate a widthwise compression of the batts. The batts are formed by collecting fibers into a blanket with the fibers being collected in layers lying in planes extending substantially parallel to the major surfaces of the blanket and the blanket having a thickness equal to the widths of the batts to be formed. The blanket is then cut longitudinally and transversely, in directions perpendicular to the major surfaces of the blanket, into sections having thicknesses and lengths equal to those of the batts to complete the formation of the batts.
