Plastic film stretching apparatus

摘要

A plastic film is drawn by a method different from a conventional one. The plastic film is intermittently fed in the longitudinal direction. A drawing member and a support base are installed in a plastic film feeding path, oppositely to each other, on both sides of the plastic film in the thickness direction. When the plastic film is temporarily stopped, the drawing member advances toward the support base between the lateral both side edges of the plastic film and is pressed against the plastic film and the support base to draw the plastic film in the longitudinal direction. Then, the drawing member retreats from the support base, and is separated from the plastic film.

主权项

1. An apparatus for stretching a plastic film longitudinally thereof, the apparatus comprising:
a plastic film feeder by which the plastic film is fed longitudinally thereof and intermittently, the plastic film having opposite surfaces and opposite side edges; a stretching member and a board disposed on opposite sides of the plastic film to be opposed to the surfaces of the plastic film and to each other when the plastic film is fed longitudinally thereof; and a drive by which the stretching member is advanced toward the board to be pressed against the plastic film and the board between the side edges of the plastic film to stretch the plastic film longitudinally thereof when the plastic film is stopped temporarily, the stretching member being then retracted from the board and kept apart from the plastic film by the drive, wherein the stretching member comprises an elongated rod extending widthwise of the plastic film, the rod being advanced toward the board to be pressed against the plastic film between the side edges of the plastic film, the rod being then retracted from the board and kept apart from the plastic film.
