the work projecting laterally from between the members l and 2 and press them toward the longitudinal center of the machine, that is toward each other. 'lhese pressure rolls are conveniently arranged' in groups ol tour,
each group comprising two upper rolls, lll,` lying on oppositel sides ot the members l and 2 and close to the latter, together with two lower rolls, 15, each lying just below and cooperating with one of? the members le. rlhe pressure rolls are so disposed that their axes are not quite parallel with the axes of the feed rolls, the axes ot all of the pressure rolls -on each side of the machine being parallel with each other but making an angle slightly greater than ninety degrees with the longitudinal axis ot the machine, and the two sets or pairs of rolls being syn?- metrically disposed relatively to the longitudinal axis olib the machine; the larger angle between the axes ot the two pairs of each group being toward `the iront ot the ma.-
chine.
, The result ot' this constructionis that when two strips oit veneer,l such as indicated at and E in Figs. 3 and l, are Jfed between the endless bands by the leed rolls, glue having first been applied to the ed es to be joined, the marginal portions ol the strips will be dattened and brought into registration with each other by the members l and 2 and the bands, andthe protruding portions otJ the strips will be gripped between the pressure rolls; the movement of the strips causing the pressure rolls-to rotate and exert a distinct pressure on each of the strips in the lateral direction toward the longitudinal center of the machine. 'lhus the effect of the pressure rolls on the strip, A, as viewed in F ig. d, is lto force this strip toward the right while the pressure rolls acting on. the strip B tendto force it toward the left. The surfaces to be glued together are therefore accurately aligned yand pressed y into intimate contact with each other while at the same time the heat from the steam chests l and 2 penetrates the joint, permitting the glue to .set under the influence oit heat and pressure. l
The inner faces of the Hexible endless bands are thoroughly oiled so as to maintain a film ot oil between each band andthe correspondingy steam chest. Consequently, as the work passes throughthe machine, the frictionI between the work and the bands is much greater than between the latter and the steam chests, so that the band moves along with the work. Any glue that oozes out of the joints adheres to the bands instead of to the steam chests and, by wiping the bands manually at some point or points where their working faces are exposed, they may be kept clean without making it neces sary to stop the machine itor the purpose of removing accumulations of glue.
i ,assess The parts which l have heretofore described niay be assembled upon any suitable frame structure which will hold them in proper relation to each other. ln the arrangement shown, there is a base, i6, from which rise standands, 17, on which the lower pressure rolls, l5` and the member l are supported. There is also an upper hori- Zontal beam, 18, parallel with the members l and 2 and supported from the base by suitable iframe members, 19. rllhe upper pressure rollers, l, are journaled in downs wardly-opening bearings, 2G, in the lower ends pedestals. 2l, projectingdownwardly from the upper beam. Suitable be provided for the endless bands. Thus, in the arrangement shown, there are guide wheels, 22 and 23, at the ends of the mein'- bers l and 2 respectively; similar guide wheels, 24, at the ends ot the base for receiving and guiding' the depending portion ol' the lower band; and still another set of wheels or guides, 25, at'the ends of the top member, 18, of the frame, these latter wheels or guides engaging and directing the upper portions ont the upper endless band. All these features are, however, mere details of design, the principle of my inventionbeing embodied in what may be termed the yieldable heating and clamping elements and the means associated therewith' for exerting latera'l pressure on two strips being fed through the heating and clamping means.,`
While have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred form of my invention, l do not desire to be limited to the exact structural details. thus illustrated 'and described; but intend to cover all forms and arrangements which come within the terms employed in the denitions oit my invention constituting the appended claim Y ll claim:
l. ln a machine of the character described, two parallel work-engaging members one of which bears yieldingly toward the other and adapted to engage opposite faces ot two strips lying edge to edge between them,
i means independent of said members for feed? ing such strips between the latter, and means at opposite sides of said members for engaging the said strips and pressing them lati orally toward each other.
2. ln a machine of the character described, two parallelheated work-engaging members one of which bears yieldingly toward the other, said members being adapted to engage the opposite faces of two strips lying edge to edge between them, means independent of said members lor feeding such strips between saidmernbers, and means at opposite sides of said members for engaging the said strips and pressing them laterally toward each other.
