Method for producing continuous compressed honeycomb

Abstract

Abstract A MACHINE FOR MAKING A CONTINUOUS UNEXPANDED HONEYCOMB PRODUCT FROM A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WEB OF UNEXPANDED MATERIAL THAT INCLUDES A SEVERING ASSEMBLY FOR LONGITUDINALLY SEVERING THE WEB INTO A PLURALITY OF STRIPS OF MATERIAL, AN APPLICATOR ASSEMBLY FOR APPLYING LONGITUDINALLY SPACED, TRANSVERSE STRIPS OF ADHESIVE TO THE ONE FACE OF EACH OF THE SEVERED STRIPS OF MATERIAL, IN AN ASSEMBLY FOR TURNING THE SEVERED STRIPS INTO FACE TO FACE ENGAGEMENT WITH ONE ANOTHER, A CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY TO PRESS THE ADHESIVE STRIPS OF ONE OF MATERAL AGAINST THE ADJACENT STRIP OF MATERIAL TO PROVIDE A MULTIPLE LAYER O JOINED STRIPS OF MATERIAL WHILE THE STRIPS OF MATERIAL ARE PINNED TO ANOTHER, A FLYING SAW ASSEMBLY TO TRANSVERSELY SEVER THE MULTIPLE LAYER TO BE OF A PREDETERMINED LENGTH, A STACKING BOX ASSEMBLY FOR JOINING ONE FACE OF ONE MULTIPLE LAYER OF ADHERED STRIPS OF MATERIAL TO A FACE OF ANOTHER MULTIPLE LAYER OF ADHERED STRIPS OF MATERIAL, AND A TRIMMER ASSEMBLY FOR TRIMING THE JOINED MULTIPLE LAYERS TO A PREDETERMINED HEIGHT. ADJUSTMENTS ARE PROVIDED FOR SEVERING DIFFERENT WIDTHS STRIPS, FOR CONTROLLING THE APPLICATION OF ADHESIVE STRIPS, AND FOR VARYING THE THICKNESS OF THE JOINED MULTIPLE LAYERS. ALSO, DURING MAKING OF THE HONEYCOMB PRODUCT THE STRIPS OF MATERIAL ARE PARTIALLY SEVERED TO A READILY PERMIT A BLOCK OF HONEYCOMB PRODUCT BEING PULLED APART TO PROVIDE TWO HONEYCOMB STRUCTURES. ALSO A METHOD OF MAKING HONEYCOMBED IS DISCLOSED.
