The time to get serious about gun violence is right now
Any politician, any opinion-maker, who is too afraid of the gun lobby, or says there's nothing to be done, and will not take leadership and act to better control handgun access in America that enables total lunatics to run wild even in an elementary school should be defeated, recalled or otherwise abandoned in favor of a citizen movement to save our children, temple worshippers, movie-goers, spa customers or people just sitting on their front porches.
Enough with the excuses and talking-point stupidity.
Update: The White House has this all wrong:
White House: Today is not the day for gun-control debates
White House press secretary Jay Carney says President Obama has been briefed on the shooting, but that today is not the day to discuss policy. The following report comes from Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker.
For starters, we need long waiting periods for handgun purchases, magazine capacity limitations, and an assault weapon sales ban.
And a national movement to overcome lethargy and fear.
Further update (2:00 p.m.): Most mass, school shootings worldwide occur in the US, data show.

Why is it that some Mac Apps are perfectly happy to be simply copied into the /Applications folder, and others require installation-wizard software? Are there advantages to the wizards?
You may be interested in what Apple has to say on the subject. This is in Software Delivery Guide.
In particular, check out the two chapters Manual installs and Managed installs.
Some of the points in favor of package installers are:
In some cases it is necessary for an application to install support files in other locations; for example, some programs add libraries in "/usr/local/lib" or add binaries in "/usr/local/bin"; others need to install support files in "/Library/Frameworks" or in "/Library/Application Support". For those situations, using the *.pkg and *.mpkg installers is really the best solution available, since dragging and dropping the app won't cut it.
That said, if it is possible to simply drop your application into "/Applications", then distributing a ".dmg" file with your application in it and with instructions to drag-and-drop it to "/Applications" is a much better way of distributing your application than to rely on the "*.pkg" and "*.mpkg" installers. There are also some major downsides to using the *.pkg and *.mpkg installers... they can very easily clobber permissions and destroy important system files, so a drag-and-drop solution is much safer, simpler, and cleaner.

§ 228. Believers are to Reign with Christ.
Matthew mentions in this connexion (xix., 28) the promise of Christ to his disciples, that, when the Son of Man should appear with dominion corresponding to his glory in the renewed and glorified world, they should "sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." The word "judging" includes the idea of "governing," according to its ancient acceptation. The collocation of this passage may be one of those instances in which Matthew arranges his matter more according to the connexion of thought than of time; but there is no reason to question its originality. The idea of a participation of believers with Christ in the government and judgment of the future world is bound up with the whole mode of representing the kingdom of God in the New Testament;618618 Cf. p. 225. Various passages of Paul (1 Cor., vi., 2, &c.) presuppose such sayings of Christ. our duty must be to separate the idea from its symbolical form derived from the old Theocratic mode of thought, and to recognize the new Spirit that was to be developed from it. The passage (like the other promises in the context) recognizes degrees in the share of government and judgment allotted to believers. Not only 336the Head, but also all the organs of the kingdom of God are to share in its dominion; because its dominion is to be universal. This is an important idea for Christian ethics. There are to be "judges" and "judged," "rulers" and "ruled"—but in an exalted sense—in the new form of the Theocracy as well as in the old.

2004 Cadillac DeVille DHS Review
Condition: Like new, garage kept, nonsmoker. It has every convenience known to man including heated and cooled seats even with lumbar massaging for front seats. OnStar, phone, Bose sound, even vanity mirrors and privacy screens for rear seat passengers.
Biggest con is gas milage but for 26 on the road and 18 in town is probably not that bad for such a nice riding car.
Wife Should Have Kept The Car. I Will Do Everything Her New One Does. — One of the best trip cars I've riden in. However, a bit hard for me (6' 2") to get low enough to get in and out. Really quite and smooth ride. Perfect for ladies who need a smooth and safe ride.

Has been very reliable
Check engine light comes on for everything
Not Bad — I've had the car for about a year and its gotten up to 164k miles with few problems. Had an oil leak issue, o2 sensor go bad but overall pretty decent value for the price I paid. I just wish it was a bit sportier

Large sedan with plenty of passenger and storage room. Good power, handling and smooth suspension
Looks are typical of a luxury sedan, mpg
2004 Cadillac Deville — A big car for a big man/woman or family. Luxury, comfort and prestige. Very reliable with the exception of the window regulators. I've had to replace window regulators on every Cadillac sedan I have every owned including 3 on this model.

2004 Cadillac DeVille DTS Review
Huge trunk, huge interior space, reliable
Petrol thirsty, unwieldly in tight spaces, dated styling
Good For Cadillac Lovers, Not For Anyone Else — First off this car is a whale and its noticable. Lane changes must be done with great care as this car's girth creates massive blind spots. The same applies when backing out and parking in tight spaces. The engine, Northstar V8, has plenty of power to propel this mastodon quickly enough, but of course fuel economy is not this car's strong suit. Passenger and luggage space are however as the trunk can best be described as cavernous and the seats are comfortable. This car also has amenities galore though the layout is not always logical. All in all this car is best suited for long distance cruising but don't expect a nimble performance sedan.

2004 Cadillac DeVille DTS Review
luxurious and stylish sedan. DTS trim with center console and gear shift knob give the feel of large sports car with 300hp Northstar. Silver / Black combination very eye-catchy.
maintenance costs; mileage
Overall Great Road Vehicle For Long Trips. Comfrotable, And Stylish With Nice Ammenties — Maintenance costs on Cadillac is high. Everything is expensive to repair and some parts reliability below par. Last of the big luxury sedans before downsizing began. You'd have to get a Ford F-150 or Chevy Suburban to get this much interior space in a car now.

Large seating capacity and cargo area, comfortable ride, LED tail lights and powerful engine.
Repairs can be expensive and I noticed a significant increase in my insurance cost on this vehicle.
Smooth, Sleek Luxury Sedan With Power To Spare. — This is my 3rd Cadillac and it has not disappointed. The power and handling are impressive for a car or this size and weight class. I think most people who are commenting on the "size" of this car must be a bit younger and did not grow up driving large vehicles. Lets just say that this is one of the last truly full size luxury sedans out there and does exactly what it was meant to do... The overall handling and performance is more than adequate. The Northstar engine is very fast off the mark considering the weight it has to move and the braking is excellent assuming you do your maintenance. (don't skimp and buy the cheep brake pads...remember you're stopping over 4,000lbs!) The exterior/interior styling is what you expect from Cadillac and everything is laid out with the driver in mind. The ride is smooth and quiet. I especially appreciate the heated and cooled seats as I live in a northern climate ans have a dark gray interior. Overall a great car, excellent safety features, drives and handles nicely and looks good too!

Egypt's new president has a window of opportunity to pull the economy from the brink of disaster, but he will have to chart a careful path to convince a host of deeply sceptical players at home and abroad that his is a government they can trust.
June 26, 2012 10:29 by Reuters
After winning the country's first freely contested election for head of state, the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Mursi, 60, brings with him strongly free-market policies that would delight investors were it not for Egypt's daunting economic challenges and fraught politics.
He also brings a detailed economic plan meticulously drawn up over the course of a year, supported by the Brotherhood's well organised political machine.
However, to spur growth and win over investors to trust Egypt for the long term, Mursi will have to restore stability to a country rocked by sometimes violent political turmoil in the 16 months since an uprising forced Hosni Mubarak from power.
To do this, he will have to build up a working relationship with generals who stripped the presidency of many of its powers in the week before the result of the presidential election was announced on Sunday.
He also faces the prospect of a new constitution to replace the current interim constitution which is vague on the full extent of presidential powers.
But analysts say the popular mandate handed to Mursi in the election makes it harder for political opponents to obstruct reforms he initiates.
"There is definitely a window of opportunity. I think there is goodwill out there because of the nature of the result, because it was a clear result," said one Western diplomat.
"If we get a cabinet that is broad based and brings in good economic expertise as well as people who have credibility outside Egypt, then … it's probably quite good news in the short term," the diplomat said.
Egypt's uprising hammered the economy by chasing away tourists and foreign investors and prompting government employees to strike for higher wages. The economy contracted by 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 2011 and stagnated in the following three quarters.
The Brotherhood's economic plan relies on private Egyptian and foreign investors and the group has pledged to move fast to negotiate a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) once it forms a government. "We trust Egypt but, with no security, investors will flee. Change is very hard and bumpy," said Adnan Ahmed Yousef, president of the Union of Arab Banks and chief executive of Bahrain-based Albaraka Banking Group.
An army-backed interim government kept the economy on the rails since Mubarak's overthrow through a series of short-term measures that have brought the country dangerously close to fiscal collapse. These include financing a burgeoning budget deficit by selling domestic treasury bills and bonds at steadily rising interest rates and shortening maturities.
The pile of local currency debt has built up to well over 600 billion Egyptian pounds ($99 billion) from about 500 billion pounds just before the uprising.The borrowing has stretched the lending ability of local banks, causing the average yield on 1-year T-bills to surge to almost 16 percent, its highest in more than a decade, from 10.4 percent in January 2011.
The interim government borrowed an additional $6 billion in T-bills denominated in U.S. dollars that the new government, strapped for foreign currency, will have to repay or roll over when the first begin maturing in November.
The interim government has also drawn down foreign reserves by more than half, to about $15.5 billion, to support the currency, partly out of fear that an increase in the cost of imported goods would fuel inflation and political discontent.
The dangerously low level of reserves has left the country with less than three months of import coverage.
Brotherhood officials have said that once a new government is in place they plan to pick up from the previous government's stop-start negotiations for a $3.2 billion IMF loan.
An IMF agreement could bring further billions in aid pledged by Arab and international donors – money that Mursi's election could help unlock.
The IMF has made any loan conditional on a credible programme to get the country's finances under control, that the programme have broad domestic political support and that Egypt line up additional financing from foreign donors. This could take months to pull together but, with so much short-term debt coming due in the second half of the year, the clock is ticking.
"To a large extent, it depends on who they've got, who they'll bring into the cabinet, who they'll bring in as finance minister. It will take a little bit of time to get clarity," the diplomat said. "There is still a certain lack of clarity over the distribution of powers, and the risk – you don't have parliament to offer endorsement, you have the military involved in the economy."
Since the uprising, the Brotherhood has been putting together a detailed economic and social programme called al-Nahda (The Renaissance).
The programme aims to shore up the new administration's support among Egyptians though a 100-day campaign in five areas that yield immediate social benefits.

If you buy one of the more expensive SDHC cards from Sandisk, they include a photo recovery disc with it.
It works on all cards not just theirs.

Eco-Chic Master Bedroom
A shabby, outdated bedroom is transformed into an environmentally friendly oasis with big visual impact.
Earl is a dedicated high-school science teacher who lives in the upper floors of a lovely three-story house. What once was a third-floor attic is now a master bedroom that opens onto a deck, where he entertains friends on warm summer evenings. To get outside, guests have to walk right through his bedroom, and Earl was unhappy with the space's shabby and outdated look.
Earl practices what he preaches to his students: "Leave as small a footprint on the Earth as possible." So when he asked me to redesign his bedroom, he requested that I make it both stylish and eco-friendly.
The first order of the day was to divide the space into three zones to make it more functional. I created a comfy sleeping area along one wall, a sitting area near the deck and a small home-office area in which Earl could create mind-boggling exams for his students.
I chose a shade of light blue for the walls in an eco-friendly paint low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). For the floors, I opted for carpet tiles from a company that has one of the best green programs around. The recycled tiles are low in VOCs and toxic dyes, and the company will even pick them up and recycle them again when you no longer need them.
I chose a mixture of all-natural fabrics and finishes for the room-no bleaches, no harsh dyes and no pesticides. The bedding is a mixture of blue and tan organic cotton, the bed's dramatic new headboard is a rectangular pattern of chocolate-brown hemp, and the window treatment mixes hemp drapes with bamboo, grass and reed blinds.
Earl wanted to minimize the use of air conditioning, so I installed a gorgeous stainless-steel ceiling fan to help cool the room. To brighten things up, I used highly efficient, low-energy LED lighting.
When it came to furniture, I kept it simple: a queen-size bed flanked with two bedside tables and mirrors, two chairs filled with soy-based foam and a few ottomans. The older pieces were taken out of the bedroom and used elsewhere.

"Fifty Shades" movie production team probably already has at least a couple of actors in mind for the Christian Grey role. Now, Chace Crawford seems to be telling them, don't count the "Gossip Girl" hottie out.
RELATED | 'Fifty Shades' of Sculpted Abs: 'Arrow' Star Stephen Amell to Play Christian Grey? [PHOTOS]
Crawford, who played trust-fund-rich-but-nice-guy Nate Archibald in The CW series Gossip Girl, is currently unemployed. GG ended its 6-year run in December last year, and Crawford is understandably missing some filming action.
"I would love the challenge. I have not read the books, but what I know is that it is risqué, and to be honest, anything to shake up from the way I have been going would be good," Crawford told FOX411.
The GG finale showed Archibald looking dapper and sophisticated as he got off his publishing company (The Spectator)'s private plane. Many "Fifty Shades" fans might have seen in him Anastasia Steele's Mr Grey in that scene.
"Hey, if they ask me to come and read, I would definitely do so. I don't even know what the character is like; I haven't read anything or heard anything about it!" The actor continued. After realizing during the interview that lots of sex scenes and sadomasochism figure in the plot, Crawford played it cool.
"I am only comfortable with S&M sex scenes! The other ones are just too simple and boring for me," he joked. Then he said, ""I actually think, whether it is a sex scene, or screaming at something to get something across.

Crawford's statement seems to be telling Archibald is ready to take on the Man of Steel (Henry Cavill in Superman 2013) and Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer in White Collar) and win the play Christian Grey challenge. What do you think - does Crawford have the eyes, hair, gorgeously-toned body, and sexy billionaire vibe of the hero in E.L. James' erotic series? (Crawford has not been clean-shaven lately, by the way.)
Crawford is probably not aware that even before he could know more about Christian Grey, Australian actress Lauren Watson has already pegged him for the role. Watson herself has earlier expressed interest in playing Anastasia Steele. She has also considered some potential Mr Grays. "I'm a big fan of Chace Crawford. He could play anyone and it would work for me! I really like Matt Bomers look and Jessie Pavelka is another top candidate for me when I think of Christian's physical image," Watson said.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to manufacturing rigid plastic articles from continuous sheets of thermoformable plastics, such as foamed polystyrene and the like. It particularly relates to devices and methods for minimizing warping of such articles along the sides and edges thereof. It especially relates to a thermoforming technique and an improved mold design to maintain or restore the desired shape of a polystyrene foam article, such as a meat tray, during molding of the subsequent shot of articles.
2. Review of the Prior Art
Thermoformed articles are often manufactured by roll-fed thermoforming machines equipped with matched metal molds, consisting of both plugs and cavities which contain the detailed shapes that are desired on the inside and outside, respectively, of the articles being thermoformed from a continuous sheet of heat-softened plastic, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, nylon, polycarbonate, oriented polystyrene, foamed polystyrene, polypropylene, and the like. With the exception of some minor post-mold expansion that is generally inherent with thermoformed foamed products and some overall parts shrinkage that typically occurs, it is desirable that the thermoformed part otherwise remain dimensionally consistent to the size and shape of the production mold.
When thermoformable plastics are extruded and formed into a sheet, selected amounts of cross-machine and machine-direction orientation are generally built into the sheet by stretching the extruded sheet in both directions as it cools, in order to obtain a number of desirable properties. When such as sheet is later heated to a critical temperature, it tends to shrink in both directions, thereby creating stresses in the plane of the sheet if this shrinking is resisted.
During the manufacture of plastic articles by continuous thermoforming operations on a thermoformable sheet of this type, the roll-fed sheet initially passes through an oven while its edges are being gripped by endlessly moving pins which are mounted on a pair of parallel belts or chains. Cross-machine tensile stresses in the extruded sheet are thereby relieved somewhat and utilized to maintain the sheet in horizontal posture, i.e., to prevent significant sagging of the sheet while it is passing through the oven.
However, the machine-direction orientation stresses are simply passed along to the continuously interconnected sheet passing through the thermoforming machine. These stresses are frequently manifested at the inlet end of the forming section of the machine, particularly after the molding period when the mold opens and the sheet is being indexed out of the forming station of the machine. For this reason, the rear wall of the rearmost row of articles is apt to be deformed by being pulled to a shallower angle (relative to the horizontal plane), even before the succeeding shot begins. Such distortion or deformation reduces the overall height of the molded product and creates a condition that causes inconsistent product trimming.
It is believed that certain stresses additionally occur in the heat-softened thermoplastic sheet when it is formed between the mold cavities (female) and the mold plugs (male). These stresses are balanced in the thin strips between adjacent molded articles, both in the machine direction and in the cross machine direction. However, at the edges of a roll-fed thermoforming machine, there are no opposing stresses to balance the inward stresses in the cross-machine direction created by the outermost mold plugs except for the pins of the sheet conveying mechanism along the edges of the sheet. This characteristic is particularly noticable in the machine direction at the exit end of the mold and along the rearmost edge of a shot of newly thermoformed articles.
For example, in high-speed thermoforming operations of a roll-fed thermoforming machine, the thermoformable sheet is indexed forward an amount approximately equal to the length of the molds while the molds are in open position. This indexing operation moves the finished parts of a completed sheet out of the mold area and moves a sheet of moldable material from the oven into the mold area.
As the sheet indexing operation is nearly completed, the mold sections begin to close. One mold section, containing the cavities, generally closes to the sheet line before the other mold section, containing the plugs, reaches the other surface of the sheet.
During the interval between the time that the mold cavities contact one surface of the sheet and the time that the mold plugs reach their full closed position, tensile stresses occur in the plane of the sheet as the plastic articles are thermoformed to the desired shape. Along the forward edge in the machine direction, these stresses are transmitted as stretching forces to the rearmost row of newly thermoformed articles of the previous shot that are alongside the molding machine, thereby tending to draw the rearmost edges of these existing articles into the mold area while the current mold shot is being formed. To cope with this condition, known past practice has been alternatively to provide a sheet clamping bar on the inlet (oven end) of the mold, provide a sheet clamping bar on the exit end of the mold, to pinch the sheet prior to the mold closing, or to extend the fixed mold by an additional cavity, or portion thereof, on the exit end for remolding the last row of thermoformed parts. U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,981, for example, teaches the use of clamping bars in the form of gates at both the inlet and exit ends of the mold station of the machine. Each of these techniques only partially solves the problem of part distortion, because the clamping bar does not reshape the thermoformed part if the part has already become distorted and because the overlap thermoforming technique allows the mold, as it is forming the new shot, to stress the rear side of the last row of parts before the overlap section of the mold fully contacts the previously thermoformed parts.
There is consequently a need for a device and method that will: (a) obviate transmittal of these in-sheet stresses from the molding machine to the last row of newly formed thermoformed articles, (b) preserve the shape of the newly thermoformed articles along this last row, and (c) if necessary, even reshape these newly thermoformed articles if distortion has developed such as through the indexing operations or from contracting forces in the thermoformable sheet during the molding operation, due to machine-direction orientation.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide a device which shape-preservingly clamps at least a portion of the last row of newly thermoformed articles of a completed shot as the indexing operation is completed and before the main surface area of the mold plugs contact the sheet.
It is another object to provide a device that continues to exert a desired clamping pressure for restoring and/or maintaining the desired shape during the molding of the succeeding shot.
It is further an object to provide a device that maintains this clamping pressure while the mold plugs are withdrawing from the thermoformed articles of the succeeding shot.
In accordance with these objects and the principles of this invention, a shape-preserving device is herein provided that exerts a desired clamping pressure upon a selected portion of the last row of newly thermoformed articles, of the previous shot, beginning as the indexing operation is completed and ending before the next indexing operation begins. This shape-preserving device comprises a support die or cavity and a pressure-exerting remolding shoe assembly.
The shape-preserving device of the present invention overcomes the limitations of current practices by providing a means for: (a) clamping the previously formed parts in the desired shape as the mold is closing, (b) holding the formed parts in the desired shape while the next segment of thermoformable material is being formed by the mold, (c) maintaining the desired shape during a portion of the mold opening, and (d) extending to a ready position for the next cycle as the mold fully opens.
More specifically, the shape-preserving device of this invention broadly comprises a portion of a mold cavity, which is rigidly attached to the mold cavity platen, and a remolding shoe assembly which comprises a floating remolding shoe, a pressure means for pushing the shoe towards the sheet at a constant pressure, such a 1-10 psi exerted on the selected portion of the thermoformed articles, a base plate which is rigidly attached to the mold plug base, and a guide means for slideably connecting the shoe to the base plate and for maintaining the shoe in parallel alignment with the adjacent mold plug. The pressure means is preferably a pressurized fluid-actuated cylinder and its piston rod, to one end of which the shoe is attached. The pressurized fluid is preferably compressed air. The cylinder is attached to and supported by the base plate and is in unimpeded flow communication with a source of compressed air. The guide means is preferably a pair of guide rods which are slideably attached at one end to a rigid foundation and at the other end to the remolding shoe. The guide rods preferably straddle the piston rod. The remolding shoe is a remolding plug shoe which precisely corresponds to the reform or remolding cavity, less the mold gap designed into a selected portion of the mold cavity and mold plug while a corresponding selected portion of a newly thermoformed plastic article, such as a meat tray, is clamped therebetween. The selected portion of a meat tray is preferably the outer wall and adjacent floor of the last tray of the preceding shot.
The support die is preferably attached to the cavity platen and reciprocates with it. The pressure-exerting shoe assembly is preferably floatingly attached to the plug platen and also reciprocates with it while moving independently thereof to a desired extent. However, the attachments of the support die or cavity and the remolding shoe assembly can be interchanged if desired.
Other fluids than air are satisfactory for use in the pressure means, and an axially loaded helical compression spring is also suitable but less desirable. In general, any pressure-creating means that will maintain a selected pressure or pressure range may be used for exerting a clamping force between the die and the shoe whenever they are brought into sufficiently close proximity by reciprocating movement of the cavity and plug platens.
Instead of connecting a fluid-actuated cylinder in unimpeded flow communication with a source of a pressurized fluid, it is alternatively feasible to utilize a position sensing means for detecting the position of the mold section supporting the remolding shoe assembly and a fluid control means for releasing pressurized fluid from the cylinder and for admitting such fluid thereto in synchronization with the molding machine. Instead of installing a special position sensing means, such as a limit switch, it is also satisfactory to connect the fluid control means, such as solenoid-operated valves, to one of the existing limit switches that are used to control the indexing operation, for example; on to an independently mounted position sensing device.
The cylinder for cylinder rod 41 is thereby operated in a programmed manner as a selectively operable fluid motor. An advantage of doing so that partly compensates for additional complexity is the savings in length of travel of the mold section supporting the floating shoe assembly.
FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional elevation of an oven and molding machine having the shape-preserving device of this invention attached thereto, with the cavity and plug platens in closed position upon a heat-softened thermoplastic sheet.
FIG. 2 is another sectional elevation, similar to FIG. 1, wherein the cavity and plug platens have moved apart, and the heat-softened thermoplastic sheet is partially indexed to the right and horizontally through the molding machine.
FIG. 3 is also a schematic sectional elevation, similar to FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein the top mold section is fully closed to the sheet line and the bottom mold section is in process of closing and is at the position where the elevated remolding shoe has pinched or clamped the last tray in each row of the previously thermoformed shot and remains in this position, relative to the opposing mold cavity, while the bottom mold section continues to close toward the sheet.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one shoe in elevated position and of a portion of one mold plug adjacent thereto.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the floating remolding shoe, as a mold plug.
FIG. 6 is a side elevation (partially in section) of the floating remolding shoe seen in FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of a remolding mold cavity and a portion of one tray adjacent thereto.
FIG. 8 is a sectional elevation of the mold cavity seen in FIG. 7.
The shape-preserving device that is shown in FIGS. 1-8 involves additional hardware that is added to a typical matched metal polystyrene foam production mold, as an example, and its use involves a method for correcting product distortion in the last row of molded parts in each mold shot. Specific vacuum, cooling, and adapter plates are not illustrated in the drawings. FIGS. 1-3 illustrate the concept schematically and show how the remolding shoe pinches, and reshapes if necessary, the rear section of the formed parts in the previous mold shot while the current mold shot is being formed. Capture of the previously formed part in this manner corrects the possibilities of the existing part being deformed by machine-direction orientation forces or by tensile forces in the sheet while the current mold shot is being formed.
As seen in FIGS. 1-3, a thermoformable sheet 15 passes through a heat-softening oven 10, comprising a top oven 11 and a bottom oven 13, and then enters the thermoformer molding station of the molding machine 20 which comprises an upper platen 21, a lower platen 23, a plurality of mold cavities 25 in mold plate 24, a mold plug base 27, and a plurality of mold plugs 29. While upper platen 21 and lower platen 23 are clamped together with thermoformable sheet 15 therebetween, as seen particularly in FIG. 1, a plurality of trays 17 are formed. Formation of trays 17 may be assisted by a vacuum exerted through channels in mold cavities 25 and/or mold plugs 29. Trays 17 are solidified or hardened by cooling between mold cavities 25 and mold plugs 29 for a brief time interval, as is known in the art.
At the expiration of this time interval, upper platen 21 and lower platen 23 move apart in respective upward movement 26 and downward movement 28, as seen in FIG. 2. Remolding shoe assembly 35, comprising horizontal extension 32 of mold platen 24 which contains remolding cavity 31, remolding shoe 37, base plate 39 as a horizontal extension of mold plug base plate 27, piston rod 41, and guide rods 43, continues to exert upward pressure, while lower platen 23 moves downwardly, until piston rod 41 is fully extended. This upward pressure is exerted against rearward wall 18 and a portion of the adjacent floor of the last row of trays of the preceeding shot. The upward pressure is resisted by remolding cavity 31, as a horizontal extension of the plate containing mold cavities 24. When platens 21, 23 have moved upwardly and downwardly, respectively, an additional slight distance that allows the intervening strips between adjacent trays 17 to clear remolding shoe 37, the indexing of thermoformable sheet 15 occurs in direction 16, as seen in FIG. 2.
As indexing operation 16 is completed, platens 21, 23 move toward each other, as indicated by their respective arrows in FIG. 3, so that mold cavity 31 and shoe 37 almost immediately contact and clamp rearmost wall 18 and the adjacent floor of the last tray of the preceding shot. This wall 18 is adjacent to strip 19 along which deformation stresses are exerted while molds 25, 29 are coming together on the succeeding shot. At this time, piston rod 41 is fully extended so that clamping pressure is exerted against adjacent wall 18 and the bottom of the last tray 17 between shoe 37 and mold cavity 31 which simultaneously contacts the other side of wall 18 and a corresponding portion of the floor of last tray 17. As this clamping action occurs, deformed rear wall 18 of a rearmost tray 17 is reformed or remolded to the proper shape and held in shape position while forming platens 21, 23 continue to close, thereby forming the next group or shot of plastic articles.
Lower platen 23 continues to move upwardly, thereby decreasing the length of piston rod 41, until mold plugs 29 contact softened sheet 15 and form it into the desired product shape as shown in FIG. 1, possibly being assisted by a vacuum exerted through channels in mold cavity 25 and/or mold plugs 29.
Extension 39 of mold plug base plate 27 has a notch 45 for piston rod 41 and guide holes 46 to accept guide rods 43. Remolding shoe 37 has a pair of circular recesses 47 for ends of guide rods 43. Horizontal extension 39 of mold platen 27 supports remolding shoe 37. Extensions 32,39 each extend in forward direction 16 approximately the same distance laterally beyond the usual forward edges of the respective platens 24,27 in straddling relationship to rearmost wall 18 after forward indexing of sheet 15 in direction 16.
Mold cavity 31 and remolding shoe 37 are shaped, sized, and positioned so that they close on adjacent wall 18 and a portion of the floor of the last tray 17 and recreate the same mold gap, against each other, which is provided in the rear of the molding machine when the part was formed in the previous shot. As the bottom mold section continues to close, remolding shoe 37 remains in this position relative to cavity mold 31, thereby maintaining the desired product shape. However, as the bottom mold closes, it slides up on the guiding hardware, i.e., piston rod 41 and guide rods 43 of remolding shoe assembly 35, so that in the full mold closed position, remolding shoe 37 is at the same height as plugs 29 of the male mold section.
As the mold close time is completed and the molding machine begins to open, remolding shoe 37 remains in contact with wall 18 until piston rod 41 is again extended to full stroke. Remolding shoe 37 remains in this extended position while separating from wall 18 as the molding machine continues to open to full open position; it is ready to repeat the cycle after the next index of the foam material.
Lower platen 23 moves downwardly in direction 28 a distance that is typically no more than one inch greater than the depth of the thermoformed article. Meat trays are designed in several sizes such as 2S, 4S, 8S, and 12S and the like. The outside depth of a typical tray of this series, for example, is 0.300 to 0.700 inch or more, and the vertical depth inside a tray is typically 0.200-0.500 inch or more. The extensible length of piston rod 41 is about 1.0 inch when used with such trays but would be longer when used with trays of greater depth. Although this embodiment has been described with respect to meat trays, it is applicable to any type of thermoformed article, such as egg cartons, fast food containers, tote boxes, protective packaging inserts, and the like.
A suitable pressure for operating the cylinder to which piston rod 41 is attached is 20 psi. However, any pressure that is satisfactory for an individual machine may be used. Moreover, a long-stroke helical compression spring within a hollow piston rod 41 or other similar device may be used to replace a pneumatic system operating a cylinder as described hereinbefore.
Because it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the thermoforming art that innumerable variations, modifications, applications, and extensions of these embodiments and principles can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, what is hereby defined as such scope and is desired to be protected should be measured, and the invention should be limited, only by the following claims.
