Abstract: A building stud for forming a framework for mounting wall panels can include a first and a second flange portions and a web portion interconnecting the flange portions. The flange portions can include a planar, elongated wood fibre member, and the web portion can include a polymer based and/or cellulose fibre based sheet member. The web portion can include a first and a second rectilinear line of weakness. The lines of weakness can be parallel and along which the sheet member is foldable to enable folding the building stud from a retracted storage position to an expanded mounting position.

Abstract: Flatbed applicator comprising a table having a working surface (23), a roller (30), and a roller support structure (40) having a carriage configured to guide the roller between a raised configuration in which the roller is separated from the surface and a second, clamped configuration in which the roller is actively pressed against the surface. A pair of shuttles rotatably carry the roller and, for each shuttle, an actuating unit comprising a rotatable actuator shaft is configured to linearly actuate the shuttle, the actuator shaft being rotatably actuated by a stepping motor. A switch is configured to be activated when the roller is brought into direct or indirect contact with the surface to trigger the stepping motor to perform a predetermined number of final stepping motor steps to press the roller against the surface to bring the roller to the clamped configuration. A related method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A wall construction (10) comprising a wooden stud (14), a wall panel (12) with a predetermined thickness (T), and a fastener (20) in the form of a nail or a staple with a pre¬determined length (Ls) is described. The stud (14) comprises a flat mounting surface (16) and at least one continuous recess (18), arranged in parallel with and at a predetermined distance (D) from said mounting surface (16), and exhibiting, in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface (16), a predetermined width (B). The wall panel (12) is attached to the mounting surface (16), and fastened to the wooden stud (14) by the fastener (20) being driven through the wall panel (12) and into the wooden stud (14) to a depth which is greater than the sum of said predetermined thickness (T) and said predetermined distance (D), and less than the sum of said predetermined thickness (T), said predetermined distance (D) and said predetermined width (B). A method for forming such a wall construction (10) is also described.

Abstract: Building stud (10) for forming a framework for mounting wall panels, comprising a first (12) and a second (14) flange portion and a web portion (16) interconnecting the flange portions. The flange portions comprise a planar, elongated wood fibre member (18, 20), and the web portion comprises a sheet metal member (22) including a first (24) and a second (26) rectilinear line of weakness, which lines of weakness are parallel and along which the sheet metal member is foldable to enable folding the building stud from a retracted storage position to an expanded mounting position.

Abstract: A toothbrush includes a handle, a head at a distal end of the handle comprising a bristle plate, a hole extending through the bristle plate, a plurality of bristles at least partially disposed in the hole and extending from the hole in a direction away from the head, and a reservoir in fluid communication with the hole. Fluid in the reservoir enters the tuft holes and is wicked out of the head of the toothbrushes by capillaries formed between the bristles.

Abstract: A fastening system for attaching a board-shaped structural element (5) to a profile rail (3) by nailed joint including a first flange portion (8) for interaction with the structural element (5), a second flange portion (9), and a web portion (10), wherein the first flange portion exhibits a first, external surface (25) for interaction with the structural element, and a second, internal surface (26) facing toward the second flange portion. The fastening system also includes a fastening unit (21), which includes a fastener (22), and is adapted to be mounted in the profile rail, wherein the fastener abuts against the internal surface and forms an attachment point for a nail (27) which passes through the structural element, the first flange portion and holds in the fastener to form the nailed joint.

Abstract: A method to safely mount a building board on a bedding, so that the front surface of the boarding does not get penetrated during the time glue applied between the board and the bedding is curing or getting stiff. The method is characterized in that friction increasing elements are applied at the bedding in connection to its lower part, that glue is applied to the bedding, preferably in the shape of a string, that the board is fit up against the bedding and adjusted, and then a force is applied on the lower part of the boarding at the position of rearward arranged friction increasing elements such that these element are activated and penetrate the rear surface of the board and assist in holding the whole weight of the board.

Abstract: A method for applying a pattern onto a support for a sign utilizes a foil comprising a pattern layer and a carrier layer with an adhesive layer uniting them. The pattern is cut out in the pattern layer of the foil by using a controlled cutting device, after which the foil is placed on a laminating table in an application device. A traverse is passed in controlled manner over the foil placed on the laminating table, and a self-adhesive transfer film supplied from a roll over and around a rotatably journalled press roll of a press device, is applied under pressure on the foil. The carrier layer and spill of the pattern layer are removed and the pattern parts remaining are brought into contact with the support, with the adhesive layer of the pattern parts now exposed. The press roll is then again passed over the transfer film, pattern parts and support so that the pattern parts are transferred permanently to the support, after which the transfer film is removed from the support.
