A method and device for use in the method for forming a reinforcing filamental network is the subject of this application. The network includes a pair of straight filaments (54, 56) which can extend generally parallely with respect to one another and be spaced at a given distance. A serpentine filament (58) is made to sinuate across the straight filaments (54, 56), and can be bonded thereto at intersections by means of a hot melt adhesive which impregnates the filaments (54, 56, 58) and which has a measure of flow potential when subjected to pressure.The device for forming the network includes a cylindrical cam (100) which is disposed for rotation about an axis generally parallel to the axis of one of two pressure rollers (76, 90) which effect cold flow of the hot melt adhesive with which the filaments (54, 56, 58) are impregnated. The cam (100) has a groove (110) formed in its outer surface. A shoe (108) of a reciprocating filament guide (102) rides in the groove (110). The groove (110) extends both circumferentially and axially in the outer surface of the cam (100). The cam (100) is geared to rotation of one of the pressure rollers (76, 90) so that, as the pressure rollers (76, 90) feed the filaments (54, 56, 58) therethrough, the reciprocating guide (102) will move axially along the rollers (76, 90) in order to effect sinuating of the serpentine filament (58).

A tape dispenser includes an automatic tension control mechanism and provision for auto-splicing the tail portion of one tape to the leading portion of another. The tensioning mechanism includes a brake band that extends at least partially about a tape spindle and is tensioned in response to the position of a spring-biased tensioning roller over which the tape is routed.

摘要:
An apparatus is disclosed which applies hot melt tape to substrates such as cartons or boxes which are fed through the apparatus in a timed, spaced manner. The requirement of applying the tape to each spaced carton is met by integrating the feeding and cutting of the tape to the timing of the carton or box feeding machine. The tape is applied to a predetermined location with a desired cut length determined by the configuration of the apparatus. The apparatus can be mounted on existing machines such as folder gluers or mounted on dedicated machines.

An applicator (10) for applying a string or tape (72) coated with a thermoplastic adhesive to a moving substrate (14) is the subject of this patent application. The applicator (10) includes a first roll (28) about which the string (72) is fed. Thereafter, the string (72) is led over a second roll (30). The string (72) is, successively looped about both of the rolls (28, 30) a number of times. One of the rolls (28) is heated by use of a plurality of heating elements (26) embedded in a casting (24) surrounding the roll (28). The second roll (30) is pivotable about an axis and in a plane generally parallel to an axis of elongation of the first roll (28). Loops of the string (72) can, thereby, be spaced axially along the rolls (28).
摘要:
Apparatus for dispensing a plurality of string members, in particular thread or filaments coated with hot melt adhesives, to a machine wherein the string members are applied to a moving web. The apparatus includes a device for simultaneously regulating the tension on each of the string members. In the preferred embodiment, the tension regulating device includes a pair of cylindrical rollers disposed transverse to the direction of string member travel and about which the string members are wrapped. A braking mechanism is included to provide controlled resistance to the rotation of the cylindrical rollers and thereby regulate the tension on the string members.
