Abstract: A punch roll which may be used in existing roll piercing systems. The punch roll has radially oriented punches which cooperate with dies upon coordinated rotation to pierce holes in material. The punch roll features a two-piece construction. The two pieces include an annular ring which is maintained in coaxial relationship with a cylindrical member. In the preferred embodiment, the cylindrical member has axially oriented spline-like recessed portions formed in the peripheral surfaces thereof. The recessed portions are preferably oriented parallel to the axis of the member. In the punch roll annular member, the radially oriented bores provide a close tolerance sliding fit with a first portion of a punch. The second portion of the punch has a larger cross-section than the first and is received in the recessed portion located between the annular ring and the cylindrical member.

Abstract: A facia system for shielding the periphery of the framework of a building opening adjacent a building surface including a first channel extending orthogonal to the building surface, a second channel extending parallel to the building surface and a facia having first and second planar portions joined together to define an L-shaped cross-section; wherein the facia has edges for insertion into the first and second channels.

Abstract: This taping attachment or device applies a ribbon or adhesive-coated tape to an article moving relatively thereto, such as around a coil of strip material being wound upon a rotating mandrel, in order to prevent subsequent unwinding of the coil. This taping attachment or device consists of a tape roll holder mounted above the carrier for the article to be taped, such as a mandrel, adjacent a reciprocatory fluid pressure motor. The latter includes a piston rod having mounted on its lower end a pivoted tape applicator with a tape cutter thereon urged or positively driven in a downward tape-severing direction.
