An apparatus for covering a surface and the edges of panels of wooden material with a sheet of thermodeformable plastic material, of the type for application to a press with a lower heated bed of elastically yieldable material and a rigid upper platen, the distance of which from the lower bed is variable between a maximum value which enables said sheet of thermodeformable material, the panels to be covered, the retainers and the spacers to be interposed, and a minimum value at which the pressing stage is effected, characterised by comprising: a frame (10) of spacers (11) removably attachable to the upper platen (2) of the press (1); a plurality of spacers (11) applied to said frame (10), each spacer (11) being provided with at least one hole (12) connecting its lower surface to a suction circuit (13) connected said frame (10), and seal means (14) surrounding said hole; a conveyor (19) for conveying thermodeformable plastic laminate sheets (8) from a position outside said press (1) to a position within it, said conveyor being provided with means (25) for picking up and discharging said sheets (8); a jig (27) for positioning a plurality of panels (7) to be covered, and provided with said spacers (11) on said frame (10); and means (19) for transferring said positioning jig (27) from the outside to the inside of the press (1) and for raising it when inside the press, in order to bring the panels (7), located in their respective seats, into contact with the corresponding spacers (11). |
