Improvements in or relating to structures comprising longitudinally juxtaposed slats

Processes are disclosed allowing the manufacture of integral roller door structures of any desired length and width, and comprising longitudinally juxtaposed slats (10) separated by integral hinge formations (12). Such a structure having slats of any desired length can be produced by a semi continuous moulding process in which a molten plastics material and a foaming agent are injected into a mould (14, 16, 18), the part (28) of the structure so formed being allowed to solidify before removing the solidified structure partially from the mould, then closing mould about the remaining portion of the structure, thereafter moulding a further part of the structure within the mould onto the remaining portion of the previously moulded part and repeating the cycle as often as required. A product of any desired width, measured transversely to the slats, can be produced by welding, edge-to-edge a plurality of lengths of the product produced by the moulding technique, by means of an apparatus (310 to 322) incorporating a heated knife (320) which is advanced along the gap between opposing edge faces of the lengths of moulded structures to be welded, to fuse the material of said opposing faces, and further incorporating an extruder (310) which follows the knife and injects molten plastics into said gap to unite with the plasticised opposing edge portions and form a uniform weld, the temperatures of the knife and the extrudate being independently controllable to prevent, sub­stantially, distortion of the product being produced by the welding step.

1,176,813. Moulding foamed articles with integral hinges. ROLINX Ltd. 16 July, 1968 [26 July, 1967; 30 April, 1968], Nos. 34400/67 and 20470/68. Heading B5A. [Also in Division B8] A hinged article comprising two foamed thermoplastic polymeric articles, each with an integral solid skin joined by an integral hinge of non-foamed material is made by injecting a composition containing a thermoplastic polymeric material and (at least in part) a blowing agent into a mould comprising a pair of opposed surfaces and a hinge defining component. The polymer temperature is above the activation temperature of the blowing agent, but the mould surface temperature is below, causing a non-foamed skin to form on the foamed members. Foaming is prevented at the hinge by the small spacing between the hinge defining component and the opposite wall. In the mould shown, the hinge is formed by heated member 5 which is pushed downwards into the position shown, destroying the foam structure. In a second embodiment, a non-foaming mixture is introduced into the mould to form the skin and hinge, the top of the mould 1 excluding the hinge defining member 5 is raised and a foaming polymer is injected into the preformed skin. In another embodiment, a preformed hinge of non-foamed polymer or textile fabric is clamped between the hinge defining member 5 and a projection from the base 2 with its ends extending into the moulding cavities and the foamed members are formed in the cavities and become integrally bonded to the hinge. The polymer may incorporate fillers or pigments such as glass or asbestos fibres or glass or mica plats and the polymer may be polypropylene, a polyamide, a polycarbonate, ABS, a polyacetal, a polyphenylene oxide, a polysulphone, PVC, polyethylene or polymethylmethacrylate. The process may be used to produce blanks for boxes or similar containers, the sides, base and top being foamed sheets with a non-foamed outer layer joined by moulded hinges with optional unfoamed tags ( ...

Method for shaping cover materials

A method for three-dimensionally shaping cover materials such as woven or knitted fabrics, vinyl, leather, and the like is performed by providing a cover material (18) and a layer of foamable liquid reaction mixture such as polyurethane which changes from liquid to a viscous state (16') at the beginning of the gas generating reaction, compressing the combined cover material and the foamed layer in a mold (21,22) having surface configurations corresponding to desired final three-dimensional shapes with the compression being performed when the foam layer has substantially completed rising, but before substantial curing thereof takes place, and then allowing the foamed layer bonded to the cover material to proceed in curing reaction. The three-dimensional cover material shaping is performed by this method without external heat or high pressure so that the cover material can retain its original appearance and high quality. By changing locally the spacings between mold halves (21,22), the resultant foam layer bonded to the cover material can be provided with portions having different local thicknesses and hardnesses.

The average density in each part of the component is the same after introducing the foam particle mixture. Densities of elements of the component may be equal after compression of the foam mixture from an initial volume or the densities of the elements may vary depending on the amount of compression in each area. In a prodn process, foam particles, esp from recycled foam, of given size and hardness are mixed with liquid polymer components to coat the surfaces, fed into a closed tool cavity (28) with gas vents and the polymer is reacted and expanded using either temp and pressure or steam.

Next, a movable mold (53) of the mold assembly (50) is moved to partially expand the cavity (54) so that foaming is promoted at the part where the cavity (54) is expanded. Therefore, a strongly foamed part (21, 2a) having voids therein and a weakly foamed part (22, 22a) having a lower expansion rate than the strongly foamed part (21, 21a) are formed. integral in the resin molded article.

The present invention relates to a method of forming at least one compressed region in a solid cellulose foam, said method comprising the step of: a) Providing a solid cellulose foam; b) Providing at least one cutting line of a predetermined depth of cut into at least one surface of said solid cellulose foam, whereby the at l ast one cutting line defining at least one pattern on said at least one surface; and c) Pressing at least one pressing tool into said at leas one pattern of said at least one surface of said cellulose foam thereby forming at le st one compressed region. The invention further relates to a solid cellulose foam product formed by the method.
