US Patent:
55651593, Oct 15, 1996
Filed:
Mar 29, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/412462
Inventors:
Daniel Cykana - Sheboygan WI
Steven F. Schick - Sheboygan WI
Assignee:
Bemis Manufacturing Company - Sheboygan Falls WI
International Classification:
B29C 4788

Method And Apparatus For Extruding A Rod Of Homogeneous Plastic Material

View page
US Patent:
57560307, May 26, 1998
Filed:
Apr 24, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/639081
Inventors:
Daniel Cykana - Sheboygan WI
Steven F. Schick - Sheboygan WI
Assignee:
Bemis Manufacturing Company - Sheboygan Falls WI
International Classification:
B29C 4788
US Classification:
26417113
Abstract:
A method of extruding a homogeneous plastic rod substantially free of shrink voids, the method having the steps of: extruding a rod central portion of plastic material having a glass transition point and a Vicat softening point below the glass transition point, the rod central portion having a center core and an outer skin; cooling the rod central portion while maintaining the outer skin above the Vicat softening point until the center core is cooled to approximately the Vicat softening point; using an extruder to extrude around the rod central portion a sheath of the same plastic material, the sheath having an outer skin and inner and outer portions, such that the rod central portion acts as a heat sink for the inner portion of the sheath, and such that, at the extruder, the plastic material forming the outer skin of the rod central portion is melted upon contact with the plastic material forming the sheath and the plastic material of the rod central portion and the plastic material of the sheath form the homogeneous rod, and such that the plastic material forming the center core of the rod central portion remains at a temperature below the glass transition point; and cooling the sheath while maintaining the outer skin of the sheath above said Vicat softening point until the inner portion is cooled to approximately the Vicat softening point.

Space Dividing Partition System Having An Electrical Raceway

US Patent:
50655566, Nov 19, 1991
Filed:
May 15, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/523776
Inventors:
Ronald B. DeLong - Belmont MI
Brian J. Persing - Grand Rapids MI
Charles G. Raabe - Leonard Heights MI
James R. Bouse - Belmont MI
Peter F. Bemis - Sheboygan WI

Daniel Cykana - Sheboygan WI
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
E04F 1906
US Classification:
52221
Abstract:
An office space dividing partition having an electrical raceway. The raceway includes an extruded plastic spine having a vertical web; a top portion which includes an extruded mounting slot; a bottom portion which includes first and second extruded grooves and a noise seal; and, an intermediate portion which defines four passageways for communication and power wiring. First and second extruded plastic side panels are telescoped into engagement with the first and second extruded grooves of the spine. An extruded panel-to-raceway connector connects the spine to the bottom edge of an office space dividing panel. Raceway stabilizers extend outwardly from the spine to engage support posts which support the panels. Raceway shrouds, which conceal the posts adjacent to the ends of the raceways, are positionally keyed to the spine for accurate mating with the side panels of the raceway.
