Abstract: A guide for supporting transporting pallets and to be located between the legs of the transporting pallet has a one-piece integral body composed of fibers with a heat-hardenable binder, and both end parts of the body have a density which is greater than a density of the central part. The high density of the end parts can be provided by narrowings formed in the region of the end parts and extending either at one side or at both sides of the longitudinal axis of the body. A device for making the guide is formed to increase density of the end parts of the guide.

Abstract: An improved pallet is provided that has a support surface sloped from the outside edges or perimeter to the center of the pallet so that boxes stacked on the pallet will tend to lean toward the center of the pallet. The pallet also is provided with ventilation holes arranged in the surface of the pallet to be aligned with ventilation holes in fruit and vegetable boxes stacked thereon so that cooling air may be circulated through the bottom of the pallet and up through the boxes. Racking members are also provided on the underside of the pallet to offer structural integrity when the pallet is resting on racks.

Abstract: The process for making a molded article from a nonflowable mixture of chip and/or fiber material and a thermally hardenable binder, includes pressing the mixture in a press with a mold closed on all its sides, hardening the mixture in the mold with thermal energy, and feeding a hot gas, especially steam, in the mixture during the pressing to supply at least a portion of the thermal energy required for hardening. To heat and harden the molded article in a minimum time, the hot gas is fed into the mixture in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pressing direction. Introduction of steam begins at least as soon as the onset of the pressing, but ends prior to the end of the pressing. A suitable apparatus for performing this process is described in which the mold cavity has walls containing feed ducts for the hot gas which feed the gas perpendicular to the pressing direction.

Abstract: An insertable hub-shaped bracing device for preserving the shape of large coils, consisting of a circular disk having a U-shaped cross-section and a cylindrical opening in its center, the disk being insertable in the cylindrical cores of large coils.

Abstract: A plug for plugging wrapped sleeves of paper or cardboard includes a hollow rotation-symmetrical body one half of which is cylindrical and another part of which is frusto-conical. The outer edge or rim of the cylindrical part is provided with a thickening which continually increases towards the end face of the plug.

Abstract: In an apparatus for producing shaped bodies of non-swelling mixture, of fiber materials with a heat hardenable binding medium, the shaped body of a complex shape can be formed so that at its visible side seams are not formed during pressing, by means of an additional pressing of a pre-pressed mixture in a one piece cavity press member before it reaches its final shape.

Abstract: A power press for manufacturing profiled bodies from a thermohardening bonding agent mixed with fibrous materials and utilizing at least two hot pressing steps, including an inner pressing tool part having a first surface, an outer pressing tool part having a second surface and engaging the inner pressing tool part wherein the first and second surfaces of the inner and outer pressing tool parts are shaped to correspond to the shape of the profiled body to be pressed, and a holding arrangement for holding the profiled body to be pressed fixed during at least two of the hot pressing steps so that the power press acts at the same place on the profiled body to be pressed during each one of the hot pressing steps and thus prevents damage to the profile body to be pressed caused by shrinkage occurring during at least one of the hot pressing steps.

Abstract: A one-piece pallet formed of a non-risable mixture of fibers and a heat-hardenable binding agent is designed so that in loaded condition it can be supported in a transporting device or suspended on a stand and two edges of the pallet are supported on the supports wherein trough-shaped corner legs of the pallet are connected with one another by channel-like connecting webs which are curved inwardly and do not contact any other legs of the pallet.

Abstract: In an arrangement for and a method of producing shaped parts of a non-swellable mixture of fibers and heat-hardenable resin, a pressing mass divider is introduced into lower pressing tool during filling of the mixture.

Abstract: A covering profile for structures is manufactured by pressing a non-swelling mixture of fibrous materials and thermosetting binding agent. The covering profile has an elongated body whose upper surface is provided with grooves extending parallel to the elongation of the body and being regularly spaced from each other. Associated to each groove in the upper surface are two countergrooves in the rear surface of the body. The method for manufacturing a so-shaped covering profile includes the prepressing in a prepressing tool having plane surfaces while the grooves and countergrooves are produced in the hot pressing.

Abstract: A device for the manufacture of pressed profiled bodies from a non ascending mixture and including a raisable and depressable heated pressing tool upper part formed as a flat plate, at least one pressing tool lowerpart disposed below the pressing tool upper part and having a cavity containing the mixture to be pressed, a reversible raisable and depressible frame surrounding the cavity and having a side facing the pressing tool upperpart, and a frame part disposed on the side of the frame and movable towards the pressing tool upper part.

Abstract: In an arrangement for and a method of producing shaped parts of a non-swellable mixture of fibers and heat-hardenable resin, a pressing mass divider is introduced into lower pressing tool during filling of the mixture.

Abstract: A nonswelling mass of fibers and a thermosetting synthetic resin are cold pressed into a preform body having a predetermined primary volume. This preform body is then hot pressed into an intermediate body having a secondary volume smaller than the primary volume. The press is then opened and a thermosetting synthetic-resin skin is applied to at least a portion of the surface of the intermediate body. Thereafter the skin and body are together pressed into a final integrated body having a volume smaller than the secondary volume. The skin is applied to the intermediate body as a foil.

Abstract: A display pallet has a rectangular load-bearing wall, two supporting walls extending along the longitudinal sides of the load-bearing wall, and a plurality of depressions provided in the walls and spaced from one another in the direction of elongation of the pallet. Each of the depressions has an extension formed at the lower end of each of the supporting walls and extending inwardly of the pallet.

Abstract: A pallet is a unitized structure formed from a mixture of lignocellulose-containing fibers and a thermosetting bonding agent which is subjected to heat and pressure. The unit structure has conical feet and crosspieces which have integrated stacking members to permit the pallets to be stakced without damage to the stacking members and without jamming.

Abstract: A pourable substance is introduced into a container having a perforated bottom which defines, together with a mold, a forming space which is to be filled with the pourable substance. The forming space has a configuration substantially corresponding to that of the preform to be made, and the pourable substance passes through the perforations of the bottom of the container and is distributed throughout the forming space, owing to vibrations to which the perforated bottom of the container, either alone or together with the container, is subjected. The pourable substance is compacted within the forming space due to the vibration of the perforated bottom so that the preform can be subsequently taken out of the mold and compressed elsewhere into a profiled article, or the profiled article can be produced from the preform directly in the mold.
