GLUE APPLICATION SYSTEM FOR A COLLATING MACHINE

摘要

An improved glue application system includes at least one flexible tapered nozzle (32) having a tubular body (90) and a tip (94) having an end (95) which contacts a supported surface (96) of a selected web (20) at an angle normal to the supported surface, the nozzle being mounted on the collating apparatus such that the tubular body flexes in response to variations in distance from the supported surface to the tubular body so that the end remains in contact with the supported web during operation of the apparatus. The nozzle communicates with a source of glue by a feed line (46).
