A device for compressing plant material to extract fluids/oils/rosin. The device is composed of a press and stand. The press is rotatively coupled to the stand such that a press bed of the press may move between a horizontal orientation and a vertical orientation. When disposed in the vertical orientation, fluids pressed out of the plant material may drip out of the device to a collection location.

An apparatus and method for forming a tray is provided including a forming plate and the complementary aperture in the mandrel formed to define a space therebetween that deforms the blank into the desired shape of the tray. The space between or tolerance defined by the forming plate and the mandrel is less than the actual thickness of the tray at one or more sections and/or points on the tray, such as at the corners of the tray, in order to crush the foldable material forming the tray at the one or more sections. The crushing of the foldable material at these sections effectively removes any shape memory from the foldable material, such that the tray including the crushed sections retains the shape of the tray without the need for additional securing materials on the tray but without degrading any leak-proof functionality of the tray.

A press apparatus including: a frame including a support surface, the support surface allowing a lower die support for supporting a lower die to rest on the support surface in close contact therewith; a press shaft configured to support an upper die facing the lower die from vertically above the lower die and to vertically move the upper die relative to the frame in a state where the lower die support rests on the support surface; a chip discharge mechanism configured to rotate the lower die support around a horizontal axis; a force detection unit configured to detect a pressing force of the lower die support against the support surface; and a control unit configured to control the chip discharge mechanism so that the pressing force detected by the force detection unit is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold.

A frame structure includes a C-shaped frame having a front side that opens in a forward and rearward direction among the forward and rearward direction, a leftward and rightward direction and an upward and downward direction, which are perpendicular to each other, an upper action section supported by an upper front portion of the C-shaped frame, and a lower action section supported by a lower front portion of the C-shaped frame, wherein, when a reaction force is applied through the upper action section, the C-shaped frame is deformed such that a displacement of the upper action section in the forward and rearward direction, which occurs according to an elastic deformation of the C-shaped frame, is canceled out and such that a displacement of a pivotal movement about a leftward and rightward direction axis of the upper action section is canceled out.

A heat press device is provided that includes a support structure, a first platen and a heating element assembly that includes a heating element and a second platen. The heat press device further includes a movement assembly configured to change a pressure state between the first platen and the second platen when the heat press device is in a closed configuration. The heat press device can also include an indicator that is configured to convey the pressure state between the first platen and the second platen when the heat press device is in the closed configuration.

The present invention relates to a movable laminator and a plastic flooring laminating device applied by same. A laminating mechanism, a driving mechanism and a conveying mechanism assembled on a rack compose the laminator which can make continuous reciprocating movements. The movable laminator is then disposed in an automatic production line for plastic flooring to cooperate with an extruder, a rolling unit and a drawing mechanism to laminate a plastic flooring material composed of a substrate layer, a printed layer and a wear-resisting layer into a finished plastic flooring product in an automatic operation manner. Because the time of the lamination of the material by the movable laminator can match the speed at which the material is conveyed and moved, the laminating mechanism is driven by the second power source to move from the front section position to the rear section position on the rack.

The present disclosure relates to a mounting press for hot mounting a sample, comprising: a mounting cylinder for receiving the sample, having a main cylinder axis and a cylinder opening, the main cylinder axis extending inside the mounting cylinder and out through the cylinder opening, a sliding closure with a sliding carriage, an upper piston and a closing lever that is operatively connected to the upper piston, wherein the sliding carriage is configured so as to be displaceable in a direction transverse to the main cylinder axis, for example by means of the closing lever, and wherein in a position of use of the sliding carriage the upper piston can be driven to or into the cylinder opening of the mounting cylinder, wherein the closing lever has at least one open position and one closed position and can be transferred from the open position into the closed position, and wherein the closing lever cooperates with the upper piston such that the upper piston closes the cylinder opening when guiding the closing lever from the open position into the closed position when the sliding carriage is in the position of use.
