A composite wood panel is manufactured from thin wood laminae cut from wood unsuitable for peeler logs or dimensional lumber. At least one bonding agent is applied to the wood laminae, and they are formed into a randomly oriented mat that is compressed into a thin wood web that can be a corrugated web or a flat web that is permanently set in a single press operation.

In one aspect, a method of preparing a composite wood panel is provided herein which includes: providing a flat core formed of cellulosic material having opposing top and bottom faces, wherein a density profile is defined across the core representing density of the core at different locations between the top and bottom faces, the density profile including a first density profile portion extending from the bottom face towards the top face and including a first maximum density, a second density profile portion extending from the top face towards the bottom face and including a second maximum density, and a third density profile portion extending between, and connecting, the first and second density profile portions; removing the top face, and an adjacent layer, of the core to remove the second maximum density and to define an exposed face; and, adhering, using an adhesive, a veneer to the exposed face.

A glass laminate article includes an adhesive film attached to a base material, and a glass substrate layer attached to the adhesive film, wherein the glass substrate layer has a side surface that is inclined with respect to an upper surface thereof by an obtuse angle. According to the glass laminate article and a method of manufacturing the glass laminate article, the glass laminate article has an excellent appearance and safety and may be easily manufactured at a low cost.

A wood sheet according to the present disclosure includes a protective layer, a support layer, a wood material made of natural wood provided between the protective layer and the support layer, a first adhesive layer provided between the protective layer and the wood material, a second adhesive layer provided between the first adhesive layer and the wood material, a thermoplastic shape conforming layer provided between the wood material and the support layer, and the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are not integrated, and a boundary is provided between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.

An apparatus for forming a laminated product by positioning a veneer onto a substrate while on a moving conveyor, including an elongate conveyor having an infeed end, a downstream outfeed end and adapted for moving successive known lengths of substrates having an upper surface carrying an adhesive along a longitudinal axis from the infeed end to the outfeed end at a known rate. At least one veneer supply source is positioned in a known location laterally offset from the longitudinal axis of the conveyor for supplying successive lengths of veneer to be applied onto a top surface of the moving lengths of substrate. A related method of operating the apparatus is disclosed.

Insulated building studs and methods of manufacturing the insulated building studs are disclosed. The insulated building studs includes a first portion, a second portion, an insulated portion with a first side and a second side, wherein the first portion is coupled to the first side of the insulated portion and the second portion is coupled to the second side of the insulated portion to form a building member, and at least one mesh coupled to at least one of a top and a bottom of the building member. A method of manufacturing insulated building studs is also disclosed.

A fitting attachable to a cross-laminated panel provides a chase, plumbing space, airflow duct, or wiring route on an edge of the cross-laminated panel. The fitting may run between edges of multiple cross-laminated panels that contain integral hollow members, forming a customizable network of contiguous coplanar routing paths, accessible without installing pipes and wires behind, or in front of the cross-laminated panels. The fitting may also provide a vertical chase for single or multiple cross-laminated panels. The fitting takes advantage of one or more hollow members in the cross-laminated panels to provide contiguous routing paths for wires, pipes, and venting within the cross-laminated panels themselves, extending across any layout of multiple cross-laminated panels. The fitting may additionally serve as mechanical support for attachment of adjacent panels. Further, the fitting may provide structural connection for the CLT panels as required to meet structural code requirements for the building.

Manufacturing decorative panels by using a web-fed inkjet printer. During the feeding of the to-be-printed substrate, the tension of the substrate is controlled by a dancer unit (720) which includes a dancer roll (200), having a connector (120) on both side ends of said roll, and wherein both connectors (120) are connected to a pair of parallel guiders (110) for floating said roll along a floating path (210); and wherein the step of controlling comprises the step of moving one guider (110) of said pair of guiders (110) parallel to said floating path (210) whereby the dancer roll (200) is tilted.

A novel engineered wood product and method of making same that withstands the stresses, both natural and man-made, that cause warp, twist and bow.

The invention relates to a double-layer wood engineered floor and method for making the same. The double-layer wood engineered floor comprises a plurality of front boards and a plurality of backboards, and each of the front board and each of the backboard are pasted together through an adhesive layer to form a double-layer wood structure. The double-layer wood engineered floor reduces the number of adhesive layers, that is, only one adhesive layer is used, which reduces the emission of harmful gases. The special structure of the backboard, that is, the horizontal and vertical staggered wood grain direction, greatly improves the structural stability of the double-layer wood engineered floor. It solves the problem that the other double-layer wood engineered floor has poor deformation resistance, and the problem that the traditional three-layer or multi-layer wood engineered floor has many adhesive layers, which releases excessive harmful gases.
