Abstract

This invention relates to methods and apparatus for manufacturing shaped polymeric articles by substantially continuous vacuum forming. The method includes providing a sheet (10) of hot polymeric material which is disposed onto a rotating belt (18) having a mold impression (11). Vacuum pressure is applied to the polymeric material through the belt (18) so as to draw the hot polymeric material into intimate contact with the mold impression (11) to form a patterned sheet portion and a remaining sheet portion. This method thereafter cools at least the patterned sheet portion below a heat deflection temperature of the polymeric material, forms the remaining sheet portion, and then cools the remaining sheet portion below the heat deflection temperature so that features other than the central pattern, such as nail and butt edges, can be mechanically worked into the polymeric sheet (10).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 10 July 2000 (10.07.00); original claim 1 amended; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
1. A method of manufacturing a shaped polymeric article by substantially continuous vacuum forming over a flexible rotating belt, comprising:
(a) providing a sheet of extruded hot polymeric material;
(b) disposing said sheet onto said rotating belt, said rotating belt including a mold impression therein and a plurality of apertures therethrough;
(c) applying vacuum pressure to said hot polymeric material through said belt, so as to draw said sheet into intimate forming contact with said mold impression to form a patterned sheet portion and remaining sheet portion;
(d) cooling at least said patterned sheet portion below a heat deflection temperature of said polymeric material;
(e) further forming said remaining sheet portion;
(f) cooling said remaining sheet portion below said heat deflection temperature to produce a relatively continuous shaped sheet; and
(g) severing a length of said shaped sheet to produce a shaped polymeric article.
2. The method of Claim 1 wherein said cooling step (d) comprises water cooling said patterned sheet portion.
3. The method of Claim 2 wherein said cooling step (d) comprises substantially shielding said remaining sheet portion from said water cooling.
4. The method of Claim 3 wherein said shielding step comprises disposing a hooded chamber above said rotating belt for blocking a water spray from contacting a pair of lateral edge portions of said extruded sheet.
5. The method of Claim 1 wherein said shaping step (e) comprises mechanically forming a pair of lateral edge portions of said sheet.
6. The method of Claim 5 wherein said lateral edge portions are formed into a butt-edge and hanger-edge of a siding panel.
7. The method of Claim 6 further comprising mechanically punching said hanger-edge of said siding panel to provide apertures for fasteners.
