  • Publication number: 20070212531
    Abstract: A process of recycling fibrous materials, specifically carpet and diaper remnants, or high melting polymers, specifically PET, by using low melting polymers, i.e. agricultural film and other products made from polypropylene and polyethylene, to create parts of high compressive strength. The carpet, fibrous materials, or PET and low melting polymers are ground separately and then blended in a predetermined ratio. The blend is then sent through a pellet mill and then heated until the low melt polymer is melted, or approximately 450° F. The melted mixture is then injected into a partially opened cavity mold, which is then closed without allowing the excess material to escape. Closing the mold increases the internal pressure on the molten material. The cavity mold is then rapidly cooled.

  • Publication number: 20050204964
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for use in the packing of an appliance containing a pallet, corner members, and truss members are provided. The pallet comprises first and second support members, a connecting cross member, and at least one truss member for providing peripheral and oblique force absorption, wherein the cross member is substantially perpendicular to the first and second support members. The first and second support members include attachment holes, wherein the attachment holes allow for the attachment of the pallet to the appliance. The first and second support members and the cross member are manufactured from a synthetic substance and are substantially hollow. The system further comprises an available plurality of articulable corner support members, corner junction end caps with tenons, closed cell design elements, and standoffs used to protect, support, separate and/or stabilize the appliance in a container.
