Abstract:
An apparatus and method for simultaneously pressing together longitudinally a plurality of individual strips of wood, each strip being provided with a finger joint at each end. The strips are jointed end to end in a number of rows to form a floorboard. The apparatus includes a mechanism for simultaneously applying longitudinal pressure to each of the rows of wood strips during the curing process. The resulting floorboard is mechanically improved, has greater protection against humidity and increases the fatigue resistance of the floorboard, which can be used for trailer floors or the like.
Abstract:
In producing a sheet of wood veneer having a large area and elaborate designed wooden patterns adaptable for mass-production and adaptable to be made with various wood patterns, a log is sawn or sliced into a plurality of individual flitches which are smoothened on the surfaces to be glued and subsequently glued by adhesive to form a composite flitch. The composite flitch is subsequently sliced to form a sheet of wide wood veneer which may be glued to a substrate or a veneer by adhesive. Throughout the process, all steps are carried out while the wood is maintained at a moisture content more than the fiber saturation point of the wood.
Abstract:
Building panels, such as a floor panels or wall panels. The panels include a first mechanical locking system at respective parallel and opposite third and fourth edges, such as long edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking between two adjacent building panels, preferably by means of a folding motion. The panels further include a second locking system at respective parallel and opposite first and second edges, such as short edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking of two adjacent building panels. An upper edge portion of one of the third edge or fourth edge, preferably the third edge, includes a first lower lip portion configured to cooperate with a first upper lip portion of an upper edge portion of the other of the third and fourth edge of an adjacent panel when the third and fourth edges are arranged in locking engagement.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a wood-plastic composite product including improvement features associated with assembling wood pieces into unitary multi-piece units, before or after impregnation and irradiation operations; selection of impregnant materials and associated methods of impregnating and irradiating the wood pieces to optimize the treatment and to minimize attendant problems, such as laking, and associated finishing techniques.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the step by step pressing of material which is fed continuously, particularly wood laminate such as laminated parquet, and the like, in which the pressing is carried out by means of a press which can move to and fro in the feed direction of the material and supported by rollers or wheels. The press carries out the pressing and the heating of the laminate in order to harden the glue while moving in the feed direction of the material and which is open during the return movement, and the press is pushed forward by the material sheet itself and one thereby achieves a desired mutual compression of the lamellae in the horizontal direction.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing composite wood floor includes a step of obtaining top layers, a step of coloring, a step of applying adherent, a step of forming composite unit, a step of machining, and a step of applying protection layer. The tissues of the top layers infiltrated with colors, and the colored top layers are combined with at least one base material to form a composite solid wood floor. The solid wood floor is easily maintained to remove scratches.

Abstract:
THE SUBJECT OF THIS INVENTION IS A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING BUILDING BOARDS IN WHICH THE SURFACE LAYER IS MADE OF VENEER STRIPS STANDING ON THEIR NARROW EDGE AND BEING SECURED TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE BASE AND IN WHICH BOARD THE FIBER DIRECTION OF THE VENEER STRIPS IS PARALLEL WITH THE BASE. THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURE COMRPISES JOINING TOGETHER WOOD VENEERS MANUFACTURED IN A CONVENTIONAL MANNER SO THAT THE FIBER DIRECTION OF THE VENEERS WILL BE PARALLEL TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE DESIRED FINAL PRODUCT. THE VENEERS SO JOINED TOGETHER ARE, BY GLUING AND PRESSING, CONVERTED INTO A COMPOSITE BOARD WITH THE FIBERS IN EACH LAYER OF THE COMPOSITE BOARD PRODUCED LYING IN PARALLEL ALIGNMENT AFTER WHICH THE COMPOSITE BOARD IS SAWN INTO STAVES IN ONE OR MORE STEPS THE WIDTH OF THE STAVES BEING ABOUT TWICE THE THICKNESS OF THE SURFACE LAYER OF THE FINAL PRODUCT, THE STAVES ARE THEN TURNED FOR 90 DEGREES SO THAT THE TRANSVERSE, HORIZONTAL THICKNESS OF THE SINGLE VENEER STRIPS IN THE STAVES IS THEIR SMALLEST DIMENSION, AND ARE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER TO FORM A CORE BOARDS. THE ORIENTATION OF THE VENEERS IS UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE CORE BOARD. A BASE BOARD IS ATTACHED TO EACH SIDE OF SAID CORE BOARD SO THAT THE NARROWEST FACES OF THE VENEER STRIPS IN THE STAVES ENGAGE THE BASE BOARD AND THE THICK BOARD COMPRISING THE CORE BOARD AND BASE BOARDS, EITHER AS SUCH OR AFTER SAWING IT INTO MORE NARROW BOARDS, IS CUT THROUGH THE CORE BOARD INTO TWO THINNER BUILDING BOARDS, A SURFACE LAYEROF EACH OF WHICH CONSISTS OF VENEER STRIPS STANDING ON THEIR NARROWEST FACES, WHEREUPON SAID SURFACE LAYER IS GROUND AND SURFACE TREATED IN A DESIRED MANNER.
