It is an object oF the present invention to go some way towards alleviating the above difficulties or to provide the public with a useful choice.
,, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In a first aspect the present invention consists in an edge banding machine comprising a heating means for blowing heated gas onto one surFace of a tape, to heat it, the heating means having a fixed no~le through which the gas can be directed onto the tape, a feeding means for feeding a tape past the heating means, an applying means downstream of the heating means for pressing heated tape onto a surface to which it is to be adhered, and a severing means upstream of the heating means for cutting the tape to -the length of the surface :
333a i : ` to which it is adhered, the construction and arrangement `~ being such that, in use, when tape is being fed past the heating means the gas is directed t.hrough the nozzle directly onto the tape, and while no tape is being fed past the heatiny means the heated gas issuing through the nozzle is directed onto an empty space and not directly onto the applylng means.

The above gives a broad outline of the present invention, a preEerred embodimen-t of which will now be described by way of example and with reference to -the accompany-ing drawings in which:
Figure 1 is an isometric view of an edge ban ding ma chine a ccor ding to the inven t ion;

15 In its preferred form the apparatus of the present invention comprises a horizontal rectangular base plate 1, typically a cast aluminium plate 23cm by 25cm. At one corner of the plate there is mounted an applying rneans, typically in the form of an 20 application roller 2 mounted on spindle 3 extending vertically from the plate. The roller is typically mounted on roller bearings (not shown) ~ the spindle extending underneath the pla te and beiny provided with a sproclcet wheel 5 so that the roller can be chain 25 driven. Extendiny approximately diagonally across ~ .
3 3 3 ~
. .
the rectangular plate, and tangentially to the application roller, is a tape path 6, which is a straight guide path for tape 7 which is to be adhered to the edge of a board (not shown). At the -~ 5 corner of the plate opposite the appli~ation roller is a pair of drive rollers 8 and 9 which form a nip between whlch the tape must pass. One of the rollers 8, is mounted on a shaft 10 which extends below the base plate, the lower portion of the sha~t having mounted thereon an electric motor (not shown) for ; driving the drive rollers. Also connected to the shaft is a sprocket wheel (not shown) for driving a chain 11 for drivin0 the application roller as indicated above~
The other drive roller 9 is freely rotatable, being driven by friction contact as the tape is fed through , " .
the nip between it and the first driven roller ~. This roller (9) is mounted on a lever 12 pivoted to the plate about a vertical axis. The lever exte~ds parallel to the tape path, and the far end of the lever is attached to a knife blade 13 for shearing the tape to cut it to length~
:
~ 17~3~
Actuation of the lever is effected by means of a solenoid 1~, typically mounted under the base plate and pivotably connected at 15 to a substantially vertical lever 16, the upper portion of which, extend-ing above the base plate, comprises the shearing blade.
The connection between the solenoid and the knifelever typically comprises a pin 17 across the end of the rod which is actuated by the solenoid, and a slot 18 within the end of the knife lever. This slot fits over the pin so that as the solenoid rod moves back and forth it can slide within the slot as it pulls the knife blade for its cutting stroke.
The blade co-acts with a fixed blade 19 mounted on the base plate. Normally the shearing blade is held open so that the tape can pass along the tape path between it and the fixed blade, but when the solenoid is actuated the movable blade moves across the tape path to meet the fixed blade and cut the tape, simultaneously moving the lever 12 which the second drive roller is mounted on, so that the roller moves away from the driven drive roller. Thl~s the tape ~ ~ ~33~
is no longer gripped in the nip between -the two rollers, and it is therefore no longer driven along the tape path.
The lever 12 upon which the second guide ro:Ller is mounted may be biased by spring 21 towards the rlrivirlg position, so that while -the solenoid ls not activated, the spring holds the knife blade open and urges the driving rollers together to drive the tape that is he-tween themO
, Positioned on the plate adjacent the tape path is a hot air manifold 22, having a nozzle comprised of an open side 23 of the manifold immediately adjacent the tape path. The nozzle is in the form o-f a rectangular opening in the side of the manifold, slightly ra:ised Erom the plate to bring the nozzle into close proximity with the path of the tape. The downstream side of the raised nozzle is, however, rebated by about a millimetre -to allow hot gas -to travel along the direction of move-ment of the tape to continue to heat the surface of the tape downstream of the nozzle.
_ 9 _ `:
~ ~3~38 The lower edge of the tape guided along the tape path ; passes along one or more slotted guides 24 to help keep the tape within the straight line path a~ross the apparatus. Also, extending down the tape path between the shearing blades and the application roller is an upper edge guide 25 comprising a flat bar with a slot 30 in its lower edge within which the upper edge . of the tape can fit. This bar is mounted on a mounting ` block 26 which is in turn mounted on a pair of vertical guide bars 27 and 2~ along which the block can slide up or down. The block is held in position on the guide . bars by means of thumb screws 4. By temporarily un-doing the thumb screws the bloclc can be slid up or down to allow the upper edge guide member 25 to be moved up or down to accommodate different widths of tape within the tape path between the lower and upper :; edge guides.
The flat side of the guide member adjacent the nozzle covers that portion of the nozzle whlch is not normally covered by the tape. Thus, the rectangular nozzle can be sized so as to blow air across the full width of the widest tape which it is comtemplated w~l be fed through the device, yet will not allow much hot gas to _ ~0 --~ 1~333~-escape past the tape if a narrower tape is being used, as the upper portion of the nozzle is then blocked off by the guide bar.
The mounting block 26 and the guide bar 25 are typically formed together as a single aluminlum casti~g. The guide rods 27 and 28 are typically positioned along the cutting plane which is the plane within which the co-acting surfaces of the fixed and moving knife blades lie. Thus the lower edge of the tape is guided along substantially the whole of the distance between the pair of drive rollers and the application roller, while the upper edge of ~he tape is guided for substantially the whole distance between the knife blades and the application roller. The tape is thus held steady as the hot gas is blown against its surface. The tape then passes around the application roller with the heated side of the tape facing away from the roller and if, the edge of a board is held against the application roller, the rotation of the roller causes the board to move along it, and the heated surface of the tape is simultaneously pressed onto it to adhere to it.

. .
The plate is provided with an edge sensing means 37 to sense the end of the edge of the board, so that as the edge of the board passes the sensing means the solenoid is actuated to activate the cutter blade and to disengage the drive rollers as described above.
The tape is thus no longer being driven past the knife position, but the severed end of the tape continues to pass between the guides downstream of the knife blade, past the hot gas nozzle to the application roller and the board. The trailing edge of the tape wlll coincide exactly with the trailing end of the boar~.
The hot gas nozzle is thus no longer covered by the tape, and the hot gas will be blo~ln across the tape path into an empty space above the base plate between the application roller and the vertical rods upon which the mounting block is mounted. Between the application roller and this empty space there is a baffle plate 29 to ensure that none of the gas heats the roller.
However, the position of the nozzle is such that none of the gas is blown directly onto the baffle plate, but instead all of the gas is directed into the empty space. Insulating material may be placed around the guide blocks and guide rods and around the baffle :

plate to help ensure that no heat from the heated gas affects any part of the apparatus. If desired, there may be positioned, immediately above the space into which the hot air is exhausted, a fan or other suction device to direct the gas away from the apparatus. Thus the application roller remains un-heated? and there is no tendency for the tape to adhere to the roller.
~ 10 The hot gas being fed into the manifold is typically fed along a tubular duct (not shown) which has a heat-ing element ~not shown) mounted within it. The heating e,lement typically comprises a former in the form of a pair of mica or other insulating stiffeners arranged ' so that the construction has a cross-shaped cross-section. Heating wire is wound around the former.
Air or other gas being directed past the element can thus be h~eated by the heating wire. If desired, the air inlet to the heater may be directly above the empty space into which the hot air is exhausted, so that the heat is not simply directed away but can be recycled. The element may be controlled by means of " a thermostat to ensure that the air entering the mani-; 25 fold and passing out through the nozzle remains within ., .

an optimum temperature range.
It is convenient to mount the apparatus of the present invention on a support such as that shown as 31 in ; Figure 1~ To ensure that a person using the apparatus is protected from moving parts of the apparatus, a casing 32 is placed around these. The casing also serves as a convenient support for a control box 33 which houses the electrical controls, ancl a tape sup-port disc 34 on which the supply reel of tape 35 is mounted. In order to leave the hands of an operator free to manipulate a board and apparatus, a oot control switch 36 is provided to control the tape cutting mechanism. An upright member 38 is provided to assist an operator to correctly align a c~luide and board to which a veneer is beihg pressed with respect to the application roller~
Many modifications to the above may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as broadly defined. The configuration of the base plate may be varied and more than one base plate may be used bu~ it is important, however the various components are arranged, that the hot-air nozzle not be pointed or directed towards the applying meansO
