Abstract: A metal canopy for a structure has an expansion strut which is directly affixed to a wall of the structure and at least one panel assembly for attachment to the expansion strut. More than one of the expansion struts may be affixed to the wall in abutting relationship to lengthen the span of the canopy. The expansion strut has flanges around its edges for attachment of the panel assembly or assemblies. A plurality of outwardly angled tabs are also positioned on the strut. Each of the panel assemblies has at least two panels, each of which has an upwardly extending flange along each of its sides, with adjacent panels aligned with corresponding flanges in abutting relationship. The panel assembly also has first and second end pieces affixed to an outside edge of the panel assembly along the outside edge of the outermost panels, with the end pieces having a bottom edge and a side edge. A  trim strip is affixed to the bottom edge of the at least two panels and a seam cap is affixed atop the abutted flanges internal to the panel assembly. When the flange along the top edge of the panel assembly is inserted into and affixed to the top edge flange of the expansion strut, the bottom edge of the end pieces seats atop the bottom edge flange of the expansion strut, the outwardly angled tabs support the panels from below and the side edge of the end pieces bears against the expansion strut and may be affixed to the side edge flange thereon.

Title: Apparatus and method for winding paper
Inventor: KLAUBERT BRIAN DOUGLAS
IPC: B65H18/10
Filed: 1998-06-17
Abstract: An apparatus and method for winding tissue webs (15) into a parent roll (25) is disclosed which results in greater uniformity in sheet basis weight, machine direction stretch and bulk when comparing the corresponding sheet properties taken from representative locations throughout the roll. The apparatus and method includes engaging the tissue web (15) against a reel spool (26) with a flexible member (18) such as a transfer belt which traverses an unsupported span between two support rolls (21, 22). The web is transferred from the transfer belt (18) to the parent roll (25) as the parent roll is urged against the sheet/transfer belt at a point within the unsupported span. The resulting deflection of the transfer belt (18) is detected and, in response, the reel spool position is changed to control the deflection at a desired level. Accordingly, a predetermined light nip pressure can be applied to the roll as the tissue web (15) is wound thereon and large parent rolls of high bulk tissue can be manufactured with desired properties when unwound.
