  • Patent number: 4748067
    Abstract: A padded book panel which utilizes three flat chipboard layers between which are positioned an upper undulating layer and a lower undulating layer.The undulating layers are of generally longer fiber length than the flat chipboard layers.In a preferred embodiment, the upper undulating layer has longer arms or flutes thereon so that, when passed through a treating pressure roller, the arms of the upper undulating layer are permanently bent or creased. The arms of the lower undulating layer, being of shorter height, are not bent during the roller treating softening process.The resulting structure is then utilized as an economically manufactured and high-quality padded book panel.

  • Patent number: 4734308
    Abstract: A method of producing paperboard and a paperboard structure wherein the grain lines of upper and lower chipboard panels are aligned at right angles in relation to the undulations formed in a midstratum layer to yield an overall panel assembly having a high degree of bending resistance.The invention also relates generally to a panel assembly having a particular novel layered construction. In place of a conventional solid chipboard laminated construction, an undulated midstratum layer is utilized in such manner that air cells or pockets are formed within the structure. An overlayer and an underlayer are adhesively applied to the undulated midstratum layer. The invention results in a panel assembly which may be much more economically manufactured while yielding superior end product strength and durability. The invention has widespread utility as a superior substitute for the currently used solid laminated chipboard design.
