A pattern roll especially adapted to form, in an in-line manner, peripheral edges of an article having substantially constant geometry and the pattern roll's method of fabrication are described. A bounded surface region is defined on at least a portion of a pattern roll's cylindrical surface by means of a number of circumferential and longitudinal (relative to the pattern roll's central axis) segments. Beveled surfaces are formed on these rib segments with the angle formed by the beveled surface of the circumferential segment being less that the angle formed by the beveled surface of the longitudinal segment. Notwithstanding this angular difference as between the beveled surfaces of the circumferential and longitudinal rib segments, when the pattern roll is then rotated in opposition to a platen roll so as to define a nip therebetween, and a molten thermoplastic is extruded into the defined nip, a plastic product having a peripheral beveled edge of substantially constant geometry will be formed.

Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
