APPARATUS FOR JOINING VENEERS

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for joining veneers, comprising a plurality of driven transporting rolls arranged along one axis, at least one counterpressure roll arranged parallel thereto, as well as heating means and pressing means. In order to achieve a simple construction and reliable operability the apparatus according to the present invention comprises a jacket of the transporting and pressing roll which is frictionally connected to a drive shaft by means of a slip clutch. This construction furthermore ensures the transportation and alignment of even very thin veneers with uneven longitudinal edges in such a way that the longitudinal edges can be aligned in a desired gluing direction in a direction transverse to the passage direction.
