shown in Figure VI, the diameter of the hole 88 is greater than
that of pin 90. The letter pressing device 1 also includes a4
collar 108 slidably disposed on a tubular member 94 and has a
hold-down member or hanger 110 welded or otherwise rigidly
secured thereto. A set screw 112 extends through the wall of
collar 108 and engages tubular member 94 to adjustably secure
collar 108 relative thereto. The collar 108 and hanger 110 may
be adjusted by loosening set screw 112 to maintain a cap 114 in a
taut condition on the pressure head 50.5
Johnston teaches the use of a method of molding curved
veneer laminated stock. Johnston's method utilizes press platens
8 and 9. The curved pressing surfaces 13 and 12 of the press
platens 8 and 9 do not conform to one another when the surfaces
are in their closed position, as shown in Figure 6. However,
when the pressing surfaces are in their ultimate pressure
position, as shown in Figure 5, all points on pressing surface 13
are equal distance from corresponding opposite points on pressing
surface 12. Furthermore, curved consolidated composite 1 has a
