Method And Apparatus For Producing Shaped Glass Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Articles

US Patent:
4187275, Feb 5, 1980
Filed:
Jun 14, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/479428
Inventors:
Albert J. Bracalielly - Mars PA
Glenn E. Kautz - Sewickley PA
Robert G. Lindner - Sewickley PA
Bernard H. Davis - Stoney Creek, CA
Assignee:
H. H. Robertson Company - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B32B 1308, B32B 1312
US Classification:
264511
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for forming shaped articles from glass fiber reinforced gypsum. An aqueous slurry of gypsum hemi-hydrate, water and glass fibers contains between 22 and 45 parts by weight water, 100 parts by weight gypsum hemi-hydrate and 3 to 10 parts by weight glass fiber. The slurry is deposited as a continuous ribbon on a moving, water-impermeable formable sheet which is pre-shaped and thereafter the slurry ribbon is pressed into a desired profile. The formable sheet and slurry ribbon are maintained in the desired profile until the slurry sets. Thereafter the product ribbon is cut transversely into lengths as desired. The formable sheet may be removed before cutting, or may be retained in engagement with the product ribbon during and after cutting to serve as a protective cover for the surface of the article. The process and apparatus are especially adapted to produce liner sheets for building construction panels. The process and apparatus also are applicable to producing continuous ribbons of other dough-like formable compositions such as glass-fiber reinforced cement.

H. H. Robertson Company - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
B66F 100
US Classification:
521266
Abstract:
An adjustable pedestal adapted to support individually removable panel members in accurate, edge-aligned relation and in a common horizontal, that is level plane. The pedestal includes a head assembly supported on an upper end of a support. The head assembly includes a head member having a generally flat upper surface which is adjustable vertically, rotationally and laterally of the support rod. Abutment means adjustable along the support rod, is engaged by the head member and establishes a position of the head member wherein the upper surface resides in the horizontal plane. Clamping means clamps the head member to the support rod. Radially extending lugs extend above the upper surface of the head member. The arrangement is such that an adjacent pair of lugs of one pedestal cooperates with adjacent pairs of lugs from adjacent pedestals to define a panel supporting surface which is horizontal and which coincides with said horizontal plane.

Abstract:
An underfloor access housing adapted for use with cellular flooring units of the type normally placed in building floors, and which provide plural cells separated by troughs. The access housing presents a dual outlet opening in its top wall, spans across a trough, and is secured to the crests of adjacent cells. Trough closures positioned on opposite sides of the access housing, enclose a trough space accessible through the dual outlet opening. Cell access openings provided in the webs of the flooring unit establish communication between the cells and the trough space. A partition divides the interiors of the housing and of the trough space into separate compartments, each including one of the cell access openings and one including the dual outlet opening. The partition is adapted to support at least one electrical plug receptacle whereby electrical connections may be made beneath the level of the finished floor. Fireproofing material provided as an unobtrusive layer or layers serve to increase the fire resistance of the access housing.
