Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roller for spreading glue for edge-banding panels.
  • the invention relates to an edge-banding roller of the above type, designed and manufactured in particular to spread a certain quantity of adhesive substance, such as, in particular, glue, on a side edge of a panel for coupling an edge tape, but which can be used for any purpose where the application of glue to surfaces needs to be adjusted.
  • adhesive substance such as, in particular, glue
  • edge-banding systems are used, generally applied to the sides of a sliding surface, on which the panels to be edge-banded are made to slide by means of a suitable edging tape.
  • said edge-banding systems comprise a glue applicator, a roller, on the lateral surface of which said applicator applies the glue to be spread on the edge of the panel as it passes, so that said roller, sliding on the lateral edge of the panel, applies glue, a reel of tape and pressure rollers that make the edge-banding tape adhere to the edge of the wooden panel.
  • the panel is further finished with suitable cutters in order to cut and round off the excess of the edge-banding tape previously applied.
  • This edge-band or tape can be made of different materials such as, for example, plastic, wood, or metal, and has variable sizes according to the size of the side surface of the same panel, on which it has to be applied.
  • rollers for spreading the glue used in these known systems have fixed layouts and are made in one piece, i.e., they require the presence of a single cylindrical element.
  • the lateral surfaces of said rollers for spreading the glue generally have workings or irregular surfaces.
  • rollers have only a minimum and a maximum level of glue that they can hold adhering to the side surface before applying it to the edge of the panel.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a roller for the edge-banding of panels, which allows the glue to be retained on the roller during the operations of glue spreading on the lateral surface of the panel, preventing the same glue from dripping from the edge-banding roller.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a roller for the edge-banding of panels, which is highly reliable, relatively simple to manufacture, and at competitive costs if compared to the prior art.
  • an edge-banding roller for spreading an adhesive substance, such as glue and the like, on at least one side surface or edge of a panel, such as a panel made of wood, fiberglass, plastic and the like, wherein said edge-banding roller comprises a support cylinder, rotatable around its own axis of symmetry, and wherein said edge-banding roller is characterized in that it comprises a cladding arranged on the lateral surface of said support cylinder, which presents a plurality of application cavities for keeping said adhesive substance, wherein each application cavity has variable dimensions.
  • said support cylinder may have a plurality of adjustment cavities
  • said cladding may have a cylindrical development and can be rotated with respect to said axis of symmetry of said support cylinder, so that each cavity of said plurality of application cavities is superimposable even partially with a respective adjustment cavity of said plurality of adjustment cavities.
  • said edge-banding roller may be capable of assuming a first operating position, wherein each application cavity of said plurality of application cavity is superimposed to a respective adjustment cavity of said plurality of adjustment cavities, and a second operating position, wherein each application cavity of said plurality of application cavities is partially overlapped to said respective adjustment cavity of said plurality of adjustment cavities.
  • said adjustment cavities may have a shape adapted to make any residues of glue removable by a subsequent rotational movement of said cladding equipped with application cavities, and said roller may comprise a plurality of extensions capable of cleaning said adjustment cavities of said underlying support cylinder.
  • each adjustment cavity of said plurality of adjustment cavities may have a substantially elliptical or polygonal section along a line of section A-A perpendicular to said axis of symmetry
  • each application cavity of said plurality of application cavities may have a section substantially elliptical or polygonal along said section line A-A perpendicular to said axis of symmetry.
  • said edge-banding roller may comprise a rotation shaft, coupled to said support cylinder, for the rotation of said support cylinder, and a housing arranged between said support cylinder and said cladding, in which a tool can be inserted to vary the relative position of said cladding with respect to said support cylinder.
  • said support cylinder may be made of metallic material and is coupled to heating means, so that, when said support cylinder is heated up to a predetermined temperature, each application cavity of said cladding is expanded, varying its size.
  • said edge-banding roller may further comprise a first conical element and a second conical element opposite to said first conical element, wherein said first and second conical elements are made of a non-deformable material with respect to said support cylinder and said cladding, and they are arranged inside said support cylinder, such that the tops of each of said first and second conical elements are arranged facing each other.
  • said first and second conical elements are relatively movable, so as to move close and move away their tops within of said supporting cylinder, so as to elastically deform said support cylinder and said cladding, so that when said first and second conical elements are at a first distance between them, they exert a pressure on the walls of said support cylinder, causing a widening of said application cavities of said cladding, and when said first and second conical elements are at a second distance between them, wherein said second distance is greater than said first distance, said support cylinder and said cladding return to the initial dimensions, so that also each application cavity of said cladding returns to the initial dimension.
  • said cladding may be interchangeable.

  • each adjustment cavity 10 has a substantially elliptical section along the A-A' section line, perpendicular to said axis of symmetry B, and is obtained along the lateral surface of said support cylinder 1 at a predetermined distance from the next or previous cavity 10.
  • the section of each adjustment cavity 10 can be polygonal.
  • the arrangement of said adjustment cavities 10 forms a first matrix on the lateral surface of the support cylinder 1.
  • each adjustment cavity 10 can be different.
  • the cladding 2 according to the present invention is hollow and cylindrical and is open on the bases.
  • said cladding 2 is rotatably movable, even by a few millimeters, with respect to said support cylinder 1.
  • said cladding 2 is also able to rotate with respect to said axis of symmetry B.
  • said cladding 2 is interchangeable, i.e., it can be replaced, according to the needs, by further claddings 2, having different shapes and sizes.
  • Said cladding 2 has on its external surface a plurality of application cavities 20 for holding said glue, which can be overlapped on said plurality of adjustment cavities 10 of said support cylinder 1.
  • each application cavity 20 has a substantially elliptical section along the section line A-A', perpendicular to said axis of symmetry B, and is obtained along the lateral surface of said cladding 2 at a predetermined distance from the next or previous application cavity 20.
  • the section of each application cavity 20 can be polygonal.
  • the arrangement of said application cavities 20 forms a second matrix on the lateral surface of the cladding 2.
  • each application cavity 20, as well as the distance between said application cavities 20 can be different.

  • Figure 1B shows a second operating position of said edge-banding roller R, in which each application cavity 20 of said cladding 2 is partially overlapped on each respective adjustment cavity 10 of said support cylinder 1.
  • the quantity of glue retained by said roller R is reduced or less than the relative position between the cylinder 1 and the cladding 2 of figure 1A , or with respect to said first operating position.
  • the glue is applied on the lateral surface of said support cylinder 1.
  • the glue is applied by means of suitable applicators or dispensers (not shown in the figures).
  • said cladding 2 is arranged on the lateral surface of said support cylinder 1, so that said application cavities 20 of said cladding 2 are totally or partially overlapped on said respective adjustment cavities 10 of said support cylinder 1.
  • said edge-banding roller R is used to spread the glue on the lateral surface of the panel to be machined.
  • Figures 2, 2A, and 2B show a second embodiment of the edge-banding roller R according to the present invention.
  • Said second embodiment of said edge-banding roller R further provides, with respect to the first embodiment described above, a rotation shaft 3, coupled to said support cylinder 1, to which an electric motor can be keyed (not shown in the figures) for the rotation of said support cylinder 1, and a housing 4 arranged between said support cylinder 1 and said cladding 2, in which a suitable tool (not shown in the figures) can be inserted to vary the relative position of said cladding 2 with respect to said support cylinder 1.
  • each adjustment cavity 10 of said support cylinder 1 has a substantially triangular section along the perpendicular section line A-A' to said axis of symmetry B. This allows said support cylinder 1 to prevent the glue from stagnating within the cavity of said support cylinder 1.
  • each adjustment cavity 10 can be different, in order to geometrically generate a suitable system that eases the evacuation of the glue because it does not stagnate once the corresponding relative rotations between cladding 2 and cylinder 1 occur.
  • Figures 3, 3A, and 3B show a third embodiment of the edge-banding roller R according to the present invention.
  • said edge-banding roller R always comprises a support cylinder 1 and a cladding 2.
