The spaces between the ribs are filled with filler material such as foam plastic, and the cells in the cellular core are filled with the filler material. The filler material is introduced as layers of the material stacked alternately with plies and adhesively attached. Slices of such a stack, sliced parallel to the grain of the plies (if wood) are called ribbed fillers. Stacking ribbed fillers and plies produces a stack having a cross section which, when sliced, produces filled cell cellular cores.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Inventor: Peter Sing

Patent number: 6811647Abstract: A method and an apparatus for producing extra-wide veneers and using them for the production of continuous laminated wood boards by gluing and pressing them from a chain of extra-wide veneers assembled in several layers over and behind one another. The method invention consists in the fact that the veneers arriving with a producible width and grain running crosswise are brought together end to end to form a chain of veneers, stitched together at the junctions or attached with adhesive tape and the veneers thus assembled are cut to a given oversize in the direction of the grain so that the seams or junctions between the veneers are distributed irregularly across the width of laminated boards, not in line one over the other.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2000Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Dieffenbacher GmbH + Co. KGInventors: Matthias Graf, John Holbert

Patent number: 6746745Abstract: A blinds slat has a major portion being strips of bamboo and a minor portion being one or more pairs of wooden strips that are located at or near opposite side extremities of the slat. The resulting composite bamboo and wooden slat as exemplary resistance to warping and other deleterious effects of exposure to sun and moisture. Also disclosed is a method for producing the slats that is particularly advantageous in avoiding environmental harm, in that only small amounts of wood are used.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: Nien Made Enterprise Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ming Nien

Patent number: 6701984Abstract: The process is used for making individual wood boards (52) from a plurality of wood pieces (10). In this process, wood pieces (10) of similar length and are joined side by side so as to form a panel (30). The panel (30) is then cut in a longitudinal direction with reference to the wood pieces (10) into panel sections (40) having a similar width. These panel sections (40) are jointed end to end to form a continuous wood board (50), which is then cut into individual wood boards (52). This process allows to manufacture wood boards (52) with a high degree of structural integrity and dimensional stability. It also allows to efficiently use small wood pieces (10) that could have been considered otherwise waste or low-grade materials, thereby increasing the yield of the sawmill.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: 9069-0470 Quebec Inc.Inventors: Ghislain Lamontagne, Oliver Lamontagne

Patent number: 6576079Abstract: Wooden tiles and a method for making the same is disclosed. The wooden tiles are sliced from a rectangular, elongate composite beam which is formed by assembling and securely adhering together a plurality of elongate wood pieces and possibly one or more non-wood products. The beam is then sliced into individual tiles having a substantially uniform tile thickness and a predetermined pattern of primarily end grain wood which is substantially consistent among all of the tiles.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Inventor: Richard H.

Publication number: 20030079804Abstract: This invention discloses a new method of manufacture of the processed bamboo slats for top quality window blinds. The method comprises six (6) steps: 1. slicing and smoothing, 2. steaming and boiling, 3. drying, 4. further smoothing, 5. assembling, and 6. cutting. Through a refinement process with chemical substances and physical efficiency, the bamboo slats can become pressure-resistant, moisture-proof, and insects-proof The processed bamboo slats can be manufactured by an integrated operation of mass production, which will dramatically lessen the cost of production of top quality bamboo window curtains.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2001Publication date: May 1, 2003Inventor: Angela S.H.
