METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREASING PLANAR MATERIAL

摘要

A method and apparatus (10) for creasing planar material (18) includes a pair of confronting drums (12, 14) between which the material is passed with at least one of the drums having at least one electrical filament (34) thereon adapted to engage the planar material as it passeS between the drums for melting the planar material to a predetermined depth (24). The filaments are preferably quick heating and also dissipate heat quickly so that they can be activated and deactivated in short intervals so that the drums upon which the heat filaments are mounted do not heat up between the filaments.
