| 20120071312 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREPARING FOLD LINES - The method and the apparatus are used for preparing fold lines on laminated materials on the basis of cardboard. At least one region intended for providing the fold line is subjected to heat such that an at least partial local reduction of shear fracture stresses of the material is produced in said region. The application of heat is done using a heating device, which is disposed adjacent to a guide device for the laminate. The local reduction of the shear fracture stresses supports local delamination, which supports the formation of a folding joint. | 03-22-2012 |

The printing mechanisms include a print and impression cylinder, the latter being mounted in a vacuum housing that also holds drive rolls for moving the boards along the path during which the boards are held against the rolls by vacuum in the housing. The latter is movable substantially above the print cylinder to provide convenient access for maintenance of the print cylinder or replacement of its printing plates. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20120015793 | DROP AND SLIDE MECHANISM FOR USE WITH DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE AND METHOD - An apparatus comprising a dunnage conversion machine ( | 01-19-2012 |
| 20160184142 | DUAL SKID ABSORBENT ARTICLE CONVERTER - The present disclosure relates to a dual skid absorbent article converter. The converter provides for a first skid and a second skid. The first skid provides a plurality of modular unit operations each capable of at least partially modifying a substrate where the plurality of modular unit operations collectively modify the substrate to form the absorbent article. The second skid provides at least one modular unit operation enabling device for cooperative association with a respective modular unit operation of the plurality of modular unit operations disposed within the first skid. | 06-30-2016 |

| 20110111941 | SHEETS OF MATERIAL HAVING A FIRST PRINTED PATTERN ON AN UPPER SURFACE THEREOF AND A SECOND PRINTED PATTERN ON A LOWER SURFACE THEREOF - Sheets of material having a first printed pattern or color disposed on or visible through an upper surface thereof and a second printed pattern or color disposed on or visible through a lower surface thereof are disclosed, as well as methods for producing same. Such sheets of material may be employed to provide a decorative cover for a floral grouping or a decorative cover for a flower pot; or to form a preformed flower pot cover for covering a flower pot; or to provide a sleeve for wrapping or covering a floral grouping or a flower pot; or to provide a ribbon material. The sheets of material of the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) may be constructed of a single layer of material or multiple layers of material. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20120165175 | FOLDED SHEET PRESSING DEVICE, SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A folded sheet pressing device including: a folded sheet pressing unit configured to enhance a folded edge of a sheet subjected to a folding process; and a curving unit configured to curve the sheet in a sheet conveying direction when the sheet is supplied to the folded sheet pressing unit. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120252649 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT FLATTENS FOLDED SPINE OF SHEET BUNDLE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS - A sheet processing apparatus which is capable of stabilizing a stop position of the sheet bundle, to thereby enable creation of a high finish quality product, and is compact in size and can be manufactured at low costs. Conveyance belts convey the sheet bundle to a flattening position. A pressing roller flattens the folded spine of the sheet bundle by pressing the folded spine. Clampers hold the sheet bundle such that the sheet bundle is not moved when flattening is performed. A CPU starts to stop driving of the conveyance belts when the sheet bundle is conveyed to a predetermined location upstream of the flattening position in the conveying direction of the sheet bundle, and stops the sheet bundle at the flattening position by holding the sheet bundle with the clampers before the conveyance of the sheet bundle is stopped. | 10-04-2012 |
