Abstract

Abstract Apparatus for joining the aligned edges of superposed plies of sheet material by means of an adhesive joining strip comprises a retractable nozzle for applying adhesive to the strip, and a forming plate which is curved for guiding the strip towards said edges and which defines a channel for bending the strip into U shape so that the edges come to lie between the limbs of the U.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
An apparatus for applying adhesive rider strips to the flattened end edges of tube sections or sacks, comprising a curved forming plate over the convex outer side of which the rider strip-forming web is guided and which, starting from its rectilinear run-up edge up to the transverse apex line of the curvature, is increasingly curved about its axis lying in the direction of web travel and, behind the apex line up to its run-off edge, is increasingly oppositely curved into the shape of the rider strip framing the edge, characterised in that the groove of the forming plate (5) that embraces the end edges and deforms the web to U shape is disposed in a substantially horizontal plane and the run-up edge is so inclined to the groove that it includes an acute angle with the upper side from its medial plane, and that the hot melt-applying adhesive nozzle (8) is formed by a plate (8.1) which is provided with a slot or bores, is disposed closely above and parallel to the web (6) running up the oblique run-up edge, and is displaceable between its front operative position and a retracted inoperative position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 193 words
An apparatus for applying adhesive rider strips to the flattened end edges of tube sections or sacks, comprising a curved forming plate over the convex outer side of which the rider strip-forming web is guided and which, starting from its rectilinear run-up edge up to the transverse apex line of the curvature, is increasingly curved about its axis lying in the direction of web travel and, behind the apex line up to its run-off edge, is increasingly oppositely curved into the shape of the rider strip framing the edge, characterised in that the groove of the forming plate (5) that embraces the end edges and deforms the web to U shape is disposed in a substantially horizontal plane and the run-up edge is so inclined to the groove that it includes an acute angle with the upper side from its medial plane, and that the hot melt-applying adhesive nozzle (8) is formed by a plate (8.1) which is provided with a slot or bores, is disposed closely above and parallel to the web (6) running up the oblique run-up edge, and is displaceable between its front operative position and a retracted inoperative position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 89 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, characterised in that the rear plate (10) having the oblique run-up edge is separate from the forming plate (5) and connected thereto by a hinge (11) of which the pivotal axis is substantially parallel to the direction in which the web (6) moves over the plate (10), and that a fixing screw (12) is provided with which one can set the angle between the plate (10) and the adjoining edge of the forming plate (5) to set equally long limbs for the rider strip.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterised in that the plate (10) and/or the forming plate (5) are heatable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
Apparatus according to one of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the feed rollers (9, 15) compressing the rider strips (6) are disposed between the knives (17) severing the rider strips (6) and the forming plate (5).
