US Patent:

46675949, May 26, 1987

Filed:

Apr 29, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/727921

Inventors:

Albert W. Eddy - Winona MN

International Classification:

B41F 1700
B41F 1720

US Classification:

101 35

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for applying a printed image to an interior surface of a hollow article is disclosed. The method involves using a mandrel with an expansible block having an outer surface for transferring an image, and means for exerting a force on the block to cause the block to expand in the cavity of the hollow article to effect image transfer. Use of mechanical compression and fluid pressure as alternatives for expanding the block are disclosed.

39970523, Dec 14, 1976

Filed:

Dec 2, 1974

Appl. No.:

5/528787

Inventors:

Albert W. Eddy - Winona MN
Roger W. Lyngklip - Winona MN

International Classification:

A44B 700
B23P 1102
B29C 1704
B65B 4710

US Classification:

206348

Abstract:

A method for fabrication of a relatively low cost display or communicative novelty button in which a consumable restrictor sheet is placed over a vacuum draw type female mold cavity. The restrictor sheet may be of cardboard and be apertured with a diameter smaller than the mold cavity diameter. A thermoplastic sheet material is then placed over the restrictor sheet, heated to reach a formable state and vacuum drawn through the restricted aperture and down so that the sheet comes into contact with and generally conforms to the desired shape defined by the mold cavity. The plastic sheet material may then be trimmed near the edge of the restrictor sheet to leave a button shell mounted on a restrictor sheet which may then be used for purposes of display. The restrictor sheet also enables fabrication with an inwardly facing peripheral groove that may be used to secure a pin fastener. An alternate form of fastener in which a portion of the remaining plastic sheet is used is also disclosed.
