Method of continuously producing foldable panels

摘要

A method of continuously producing foldable panels (1) comprises the steps of cutting a one part panel (2) having a pair of opposing straight edges (27) perpendicularly to the straight edges (27) into at least two panel parts (3) each having a cut edge (5); folding the two panel parts (3) together into a flat side by side configuration; aligning the cut edges (5) of the two panel parts (3) to each other; fixing a flexible tape (9) to that aligned cut edges (5) which have been shaped by cutting the one part panel (2) into the two panel parts (3) for forming a joint (21) between the two panel parts. Alternatively, the method comprises the steps of arranging two one part panels (2) each having a pair of opposing straight edges (27) and a pair of opposing untrimmed edges (26) into a flat side by side configuration; aligning one straight edge (27) of the one panel (2) with one straight edge of the other panel (2); trimming the untrimmed edges (26) of both one part panels (22) simultaneously; and fixing a flexible tape (9) to each of the two opposing pairs of simultaneously trimmed edges (25) of both raw panels (22) for forming two joints (21) between the two one part panels (2).
