    Abstract: A forming device for gathering the width of a traveling web is disclosed. The forming device includes opposing arrays of flute-forming bars that can be interlaced to define therebetween a longitudinal flute-forming labyrinth effective to reduce the width of a web traveling therethrough by a preselected take-up ratio. The flute-forming bars are curved beginning at an entry end of the forming device such that they converge in a lateral direction as they proceed in the machine direction. In this manner, individual elements of the web traveling between the respective arrays in the machine direction follow contour lines along the curved bars or between adjacent ones of the curved bars so that no such element crosses any flute-forming bar in the cross-machine direction as the web travels and is fluted. A corrugating die for introducing a near-net shape to the intermediate-fluted web is also disclosed, as are a corrugating line incorporating these operations and methods for its operation.

    Abstract: An article is provided comprising a plurality of straight spaced parallel extruded elements separated by a regularly undulated extruded element having an aspect ratio of at least about two, with undulations having opposed apexes on either side thereof, with apexes on one side of the undulated element being bonded to one of the parallel extruded elements and the apexes on the other side of the undulated element being bonded to the other of said parallel extruded elements. The article is formed by extruding a first filament-forming extrudable plastic mass to form a plurality of straight spaced continuous parallel elements, extruding (at a faster extrusion rate and between adjacent parallel elements) a second filament-forming extrudable plastic mass to form an undulatable element which is thinner than it is wide to provide a cross-section with an aspect ratio of at least about two, causing the undulatable element to undulate in its thin dimension and to bond to the straight spaced continuous parallel elements, and changing or permitting the change of the formed, extruded plastic mass so that subsequent bonding will no longer occur and so that the elements have sufficient structural integrity to maintain their extruded bonded shape.

The article is formed by extruding a first filament-forming extrudable plastic food mass to form a plurality of straight spaced continuous parallel elements, extruding (at a faster extrusion rate and between adjacent parallel elements) a second filament-forming extrudable plastic food mass to form an undulatable element which is thinner than it is wide to provide a cross-section with an aspect ratio of at least about two, causing the undulatable element to undulate in its thin dimension and to bond to the straight spaced continuous parallel elements, and changing or permitting the change of the formed, extruded plastic food mass so that subsequent bonding will no longer occur and so that the elements have sufficient structural integrity to maintain their extruded bonded shape. The food mass may be cereal, pasta or candy.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for forming sheet material having openings therein extending for substantially the entire length of the sheet. In one form, the sheet is formed of plastic and, while in a heat softened condition, openings are provided therein by the insertion of tooling into the sheet at spaced apart intervals which tooling displaces material of the sheet to form cavities or holes therein. In a particular form, the sheet is predeterminately expanded to form enlarged openings either while the tooling is retained within the sheet or thereafter while the sheet is in an expandable condition. The sheet may be post formed by suitable dies or rollers after it has been expanded to control or predetermine its shape.
