APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRESSING A WORKPIECE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009918 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRESSING A WORKPIECE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus for pressing a multi-layered skateboard deck with varying thickness. The apparatus includes a mold assembly, a first liner, and a second liner. The mold assembly consists of a first mold with a first surface and a second mold with a second surface. These surfaces collectively define a mold cavity to receive the skateboard deck. The first liner is placed adjacent to the first surface, and the second liner is placed adjacent to the second surface. When the skateboard deck is placed in the mold cavity, the mold assembly applies a load. Either the first liner or the second liner is designed to deform in response to the applied load, resulting in the compression of the skateboard deck with a uniform pressure.

  • The apparatus is designed to press multi-layered skateboard decks with varying thickness.
  • It includes a mold assembly with two molds that define a mold cavity for the skateboard deck.
  • The first and second liners are placed adjacent to the mold surfaces.
  • When the skateboard deck is placed in the mold cavity, a load is applied.
  • One of the liners is designed to deform under the load, ensuring uniform pressure on the skateboard deck.

Potential Applications:

  • Manufacturing of multi-layered skateboard decks with varying thickness.
  • Production of high-quality skateboard decks with consistent compression.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures uniform pressure and compression on multi-layered skateboard decks with varying thickness.
  • Eliminates the risk of uneven compression and potential structural weaknesses in the skateboard deck.

Benefits:

  • Consistent and uniform compression results in high-quality skateboard decks.
  • Improved structural integrity and durability of the skateboard deck.
  • Efficient manufacturing process for producing skateboard decks with varying thickness.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for pressing a multi-layered skateboard deck having a variation in thickness is provided. the apparatus includes a mold assembly, a first liner, and a second liner. the mold assembly includes a first mold having a first surface and a second mold having a second surface. the first surface and the second surface are configured to collectively define a mold cavity configured to receive the multi-layered skateboard deck. the first liner is disposed adjacent to the first surface and the second liner is disposed adjacent to the second surface. the mold assembly is configured to apply a load when the multi-layered skateboard deck is disposed in the mold cavity. at least one of the first liner or the second liner is configured to deform in response to the applied load such that the multi-layered skateboard deck is compressed with a substantially uniform pressure.
