| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to a forming apparatus for forming a formable material or materials. The apparatus has a first forming tool set, and a second forming tool set. Each forming tool of the second forming tool set is adapted to co-act with one or more forming tools of the first forming tool set, or vice versa, to form a co-acting forming tool in a pressure forming zone. There is a first forming tool set guide or guides about which the first forming tool set can be moved about a first circuit. There is also a second forming tool set guide or guides about which the second forming tool set can be moved about a second circuit. There is also a drive means to drive the tools in a machine direction. At least on part of the circuit, immediately before or after the pressure forming zone, adjacent forming tools of one the forming tool sets are movably supported such that the only relative movement of said adjacent forming tools is towards or away from the forming tools of the other forming tool set with which they co-act.
