Abstract
Abstract At a location between a single facer machine and a glue machine, a web of corrugated paperboard has the flutes crushed in a narrow zone longitudinally of the web. A bonding agent is applied only to the uncrushed flutes. Preprinted liners are applied to the bonding agent on the uncrushed flutes with the liners being spaced from one another by said narrow zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A method of making corrugated paperboard with liners in a corrugator comprising the steps of producing a moving web of single faced corrugated paperboard, crushing a narrow zone of flutes on the web in a longitudinal direction of the web while the web is moving, which narrow zone separates two zones of uncrushed flutes, applying a bonding agent only to the uncrushed flutes on both sides of the narrow zone while the web is moving, and applying liners to said bonding agent on the flutes on both sides of said narrow zone to thereby provide a pair of liners side by side and transversely spaced by said narrow zone while the web is moving.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
114 words
A method of making corrugated paperboard with liners in a corrugator comprising the steps of producing a moving web of single faced corrugated paperboard, crushing a narrow zone of flutes on the web in a longitudinal direction of the web while the web is moving, which narrow zone separates two zones of uncrushed flutes, applying a bonding agent only to the uncrushed flutes on both sides of the narrow zone while the web is moving, and applying liners to said bonding agent on the flutes on both sides of said narrow zone to thereby provide a pair of liners side by side and transversely spaced by said narrow zone while the web is moving.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 including using preprinted liners, slitting said zone to remove the same after the liners have been bonded to the uncrushed flutes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said flutes are crushed while the web is moving in a downward direction between a pair of mating rollers whose location has been predetermined with respect to a side edge of the web.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 including using preprinted liners, applying said liners simultaneously from a pair of rolls which are offset with respect to a side edge of the web.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
164 words
A method of making corrugated paperboard in a corrugator comprising the steps of producing a moving web of single faced paperboard having only one liner joined to one side of a medium having transverse flutes, crushing a narrow zone of flutes on the web in a longitudinal direction of the web while the web is moving, which narrow zone spearates two zones of uncrushed flutes, applying a bonding agent only to the uncrushed flutes on both sides of the narrow zone while the web is moving, applying preprinted liners to said flutes on both sides of said narrow zone via said bonding agent to thereby provide a pair of liners side by side and transversely spaced by said narrow zone while the web is moving, applying said liners simultaneously from a pair of rolls which are offset with respect to a side edge of the web, and slitting said web to remove said zone after the liners have been bonded to the uncrushed flutes.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
164 words
A method of making corrugated paperboard in a corrugator comprising the steps of producing a moving web of single faced paperboard having only one liner joined to one side of a medium having transverse flutes, crushing a narrow zone of flutes on the web in a longitudinal direction of the web while the web is moving, which narrow zone spearates two zones of uncrushed flutes, applying a bonding agent only to the uncrushed flutes on both sides of the narrow zone while the web is moving, applying preprinted liners to said flutes on both sides of said narrow zone via said bonding agent to thereby provide a pair of liners side by side and transversely spaced by said narrow zone while the web is moving, applying said liners simultaneously from a pair of rolls which are offset with respect to a side edge of the web, and slitting said web to remove said zone after the liners have been bonded to the uncrushed flutes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method in accordance with claim 5 including crushing said flutes while the web is moving in a downward direction between a pair of mating rollers whose location has been predetermined with respect to a side edge of the web.
