Method for producing shade material

摘要

A method and apparatus for producing an expandable material from a strip material by longitudinally reciprocating a carriage on a frame between first and second rolls containing supplies of the strip material. The carriage is alternately engageable with the strip material of a first supply roll and the strip material of a second supply roll. The carriage includes an adhesive application device that applies an adhesive to a top surface of a stack of sheets of strip material positioned between the first and second supply rolls using the adhesive application device by moving the carriage. The strip material is then pressed and stacked by a press and stacking device that are driven by cams.
