US Patent:

40162338, Apr 5, 1977

Filed:

Mar 10, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/557045

Inventors:

John Philip Pringle - Allen TX

Assignee:

Capital Wire and Cable, Division of U.S. Industries - Plano TX

International Classification:

B29J 502

US Classification:

264122

Abstract:

A process for making a flexible structural member is disclosed in which the member is formed from a mixture of scrap particles of thermoplastic wire and cable insulation, wood particles, comminuted paper, sawdust, and a suitable resin binder. The fabrication process is carried out by initially forming a mixture of reclaimed thermoplastic wire or cable insulation, a thermosetting binder, and one or more wood-like fillers, such as wood chips, comminuted paper, sawdust, and a mold release agent. The mixture is then placed in a mold and is subjected to heat and pressure to form a flexible structural member.

US Classification:

264112

Abstract:

A process for making a laminated structural member is disclosed in which the member is fabricated with one layer of sheet material such as plywood or fiberboard and an adjacent layer bonded thereto and formed from a mixture of scrap particles of thermoplastic wire and cable insulation, wood particles, comminuted paper, sawdust, and a suitable resin binder. The fabrication process is carried out by initially forming a mixture of reclaimed thermoplastic wire or cable insulation, a thermosetting binder, a wood-like filler, and a mold release agent. The mixture is then placed in a mold with the sheet material and subjected to heat and pressure to form a laminated structural member.
