Abstract: An apparatus and a method for coating of surfaces with a combination of a solid material and a binder, so that despite of the unevenness of the area to be coated, a desired evenness is obtained controllably. In the invention the filler is slung through the liquid binder and that binder not captured by the filler particles onto their surfaces is recovered and reused.

Abstract: A plate-processing device intended for bending and cutting of bending and bendable plate-like objects. A bending and cutting tool is arranged to be moved by actuators. At least two tube sectors, which are arranged within each other and move relative to each other, of which the tube sector that revolves around the axis of revolution has a bending or cutting tool. The mutual movement of the tube sectors is brought about by actuators acting between the tube sectors and expandable by means of pressure of a medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plate-processing device intended for bending and cutting of bending and bendable plate-like objects, which device comprises a bending and cutting tool arranged to be moved by actuators. The device comprises at least two tube sectors (1, 2), which are arranged within each other and move relative to each other, of which the tube sector (2) that revolves around the axis of revolution has a bending or cutting tool (7). The mutual movement of the tube sectors (1, 2) is brought about by actuators (4) acting between the tube sectors (1, 2) and expandable by means of pressure of a medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for packing connector plates or the like. The apparatus comprises a horizontal conveyor (V) for conveying connector plates (N) to a stacking station (P) at the end of the horizontal conveyor (V) with the plates oriented so that the teeth point substantially upward. A turning conveyor (K) conveys connector plates (N) to the stacking station (P) in an inverted orientation so that nested pairs of connector plates are formed. The horizontal conveyor (V) is in the same longitudinal line with the turning conveyor (K) and partly inside the turning conveyor. The turning conveyor (K) includes two substantially vertical support walls (4) which are provided for rotation around a horizontal axle (6), and a support mechanism (5) attached therebetween.

Abstract: A beam or the like, substantially manufactured from rather thin sheet metal either by bending or some other suitable technique and comprising at least one side as well as a fastening strip joining with its edge and positioned at a straight or inclined angle relative to said side. The beam fastening strips and in some cases intermediate strips are provided with studs having a rather dense spacing in longitudinal direction. As the bearing member of a jointing structure, said beam is intended to be secured to a building panel or the like made of wood or a similar material, such as woodboard, boarding chipboard, gypsum board or concrete slab by pressing it against such a panel, so that said studs penetrate into a panel and secure the beam, or by placing said beam on top of a just cast, fresh concrete slab, whereby the studs effect the securing as the concrete sets.

Abstract: A spike plate which is used mainly in joining wooden parts and which is made by punching from a strip of steel sheet a set of projecting spikes. The joining capacity of the spike plate is improved by making on the broad surface of the spikes toothing or roughening so as to increase the gripping force of the spikes. The roughening or toothing is first made on the blanking strip of the spike plate at the places where the spikes will be punched out, after which the spikes are formed. Making of the roughening is made still easier by forming the blank with elevations at the places of the spikes. In the device for making the spike plates, the roughening tool may be used as a feeding device of the blanking strip. The punches and dies of the tool forming the spikes may be placed on rollers rotating in conjunction with each other, between which the blanking strip moves at the same speed, the spikes being cut and turned from the blanking strip between the punches and dies which sequentially enter a cutting position.
