Abstract: A press for applying an overlay to a substrate which includes multiple, individually reciprocal and selectively controlled depressers actuatable to force the overlay in a progressively expanding area against the surface of the overlay.

Abstract: A press for applying an overlay to the exterior surfaces of an element where such surfaces have a convexity extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the element. A tensed forming sheet is included in the press which is caused to wrap around the element to which the overlay is applied.

Abstract: A press for applying an overlay to the front and sides of an elongate workpiece. Elongate edge margins of a forming sheet are manipulated through actuation of arrays of sheet-manipulating and positioning piston-cylinders to cause the forming sheet to wrap around the workpiece and during such wrapping to press an overlay against the workpiece. Tray assemblies support a workpiece while the overlay is applied, and these are mounted from movement from within to outside the press, to facilitate reloading of the press.

Abstract: A doorjamb assembly that includes an elongate jamb element and an elongate doorstop element secured through fasteners to the face of the jamb element. Provision is made for sealing the two elements. The jamb element has a recessed channel receiving the doorstop element.

Abstract: An overlay molding press which includes a pair of oppositely disposed jaw members. Each jaw member is provided with an elongate shoulder extending therealong and each jaw member has a forming surface extending its length with an edge of the surface at the shoulder of the jaw member. The forming surfaces of the two jaw members collectively form a mold cavity. The jaw members are rockable about an axis extending where their shoulders meet to produce a folding together of their forming surfaces and a decrease in the lateral dimension of the mold cavity.

Abstract: A panel installation comprising a layer of panel pieces supported on a supporting surface. An anchoring element secures adjacent pieces to the supporting surface which has wing flanges seated in slots presented by adjacent panel pieces. A cover strip seats within a receptor channel defined in an anchoring element.
