Abstract

Abstract A single facer of the type wherein a core paper sheet is corrugated by means of a pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls and has its crest portions applied with paste, and then a liner introduced from a different direction is pasted on the corrugated core sheet while passing between the lower corrugated roll and a pressure roll to form a single-faced corrugated sheet, is improved in that at least one pair of additional upper and lower corrugated rolls having a different shape of corrugation from first mentioned pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls are supported on a rotatable frame jointly with the first pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls, and structure for rotating the rotatable frame is provided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 178 words
In a single facer of the type wherein a core paper sheet introduced in a first direction is corrugated by means of a pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls, said rolls having a corrugated circumferential configuration, the corrugated core paper sheet has its crest portions applied with paste, and then a liner introduced to said single facer from a second direction different from said first direction is pasted on the corrugated paper sheet while passing between said lower corrugated roll and a pressure roll to form a single-faced corrugated sheet, the improvement wherein: said single facer comprises a rotatable frame supporting said pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls; and at least one pair of additional upper and lower corrugated rolls also is supported from said rotatable frame and has a different shape of circumferential corrugations from that of said first mentioned pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls; and means for rotating said rotatable frame for bringing a selected said pair of corrugated rolls into operative position with said pressure roll for performing a corrugating operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 178 words
In a single facer of the type wherein a core paper sheet introduced in a first direction is corrugated by means of a pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls, said rolls having a corrugated circumferential configuration, the corrugated core paper sheet has its crest portions applied with paste, and then a liner introduced to said single facer from a second direction different from said first direction is pasted on the corrugated paper sheet while passing between said lower corrugated roll and a pressure roll to form a single-faced corrugated sheet, the improvement wherein: said single facer comprises a rotatable frame supporting said pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls; and at least one pair of additional upper and lower corrugated rolls also is supported from said rotatable frame and has a different shape of circumferential corrugations from that of said first mentioned pair of upper and lower corrugated rolls; and means for rotating said rotatable frame for bringing a selected said pair of corrugated rolls into operative position with said pressure roll for performing a corrugating operation.
