Abstract: An improved method of manufacturing support posts that are commonly formed from wound paper tubes. With this invention, a number of material layers are laminated together and formed in a continuous manner while they are still pliable. Materials are taken from a number of rolls that is equal to the number of layers required within the finished product. The individual layers are drawn through a glue station where adhesive is applied between each layer. The finished shape is created by bringing together all of the layers, then progressively folding them around a heated mandrel that has been shaped to match the inner hollow space of a formed paper tube corner post design.

Abstract: An improved article of manufacture for corner post construction having multiple, independent or related layers of material formed together into a wave pattern, comprised of semicircles, triangles, flat spots, squares or any other geometrical shape.

Abstract: An improved article of manufacturing for metal siding, which can be formed into or painted to have the texture and hand of raised grain which has the colors and appearance of weathered, rough sawn, or had hewn wood.

Abstract: A sheet of corrugated paperboard formed into eleven panels, with a central panel, two end panels, and eight intermediate panels, that are interconnected at fold lines so that the sheet can be folded to form a rail for withstanding a load. The sheet can be folded to form a rail with only six vertical support panels and two diagonal support panels, only two folds against the prevailing fold direction, and only three glue areas. Also, the sheet has openings that, when the sheet is folded into the rail, align to form channels for receiving forklift arms.
