Definitions
- Gne method of producing unexpanded honeycomb materlai from sheet involves indin g the sheet material in the form of two webs, one at least of which is tensioned, one
- the apparatus employed includes a rotary former, means for feeding a pair of continuous webs of the sheet material, at least one of which is tensioned to the former in such a manner that as the former is rotated the webs are wound together thereon and at least one printing I device for applying adhesive to the material in positions such that the wound mat rial the adhesive is distributed such that each layer has the bands on one side thereof staggered with reference to the bands on the other side thereof.
- the sheet material may be used in the form of one or other odd number of webs, that is to say a single web wound alone or together with an even number of other webs.
- a method of producing unexpanded structural honeycomb material by winding sheet material upon a rotary former and applying to the sheet material, during the windoperation, an adhesive which is distributed in bands positioned such that the material accumulated on the former is, when sliced, expandable to the cellular state, charact rised in that the sheet material consists of one web thereof which is wound on the former alone or together with an even number of other webs, whilst adhesive is applied to the web or webs in hands by gluing apparatus adapted and arranged to locate the bands such that the bands on any layer of the accumulated material which is derived from the web, or any one web as the case may be, are staggered with respect to the bands on the next preceding layer so derived.
- apparatus for producing structural honeycomb material by winding sheet material on a rotary former characterised by means for supplying the sheet material to the former in the form of a single web, with or without an even number of other webs, and gluing apparatus operable to print bands of adhesive on the web or webs, during the winding thereof, in positions such that the bands on any layer of the accumulated material which is derived from the web or any one web as the case may be, are staggered with respect to the bands on the next preceding layer so derived.
- the adhesive is applied to the web by a printing roller which is movable axially between two positions related such that the bands applied in the first position are staggered in the wound material relative to the bands applied in the second position, said roller being reciprocated between the two positions in synchronism with the rotation of the former.
- a pair of printing rollers which are brought into their printing positions alternately to give the same effect. 7
- the printing roller is mounted to apply the adhesive to said web at a position where said web has been received upon the former.
- This arrangement ensures automatically that the bands of adhesive are correctly positioned relative to the former itself and consequently relative to one another.
- the adhesive may however be applied to the web as'it approaches the former if preferred.
- the change from bands in one position relative to the former to bands in the staggered position should always occur at the same angular position of the former, e.g. at a corner thereof when a polygonal former or other former having planar faces is employed, and should take place over as short a distance as possible.
- a single change per revolution is all that is necessary, though any other convenient odd number of changes, e.g. at alternate corners of a hexagonal former or at each corner of a pentagonal one, may be provided at the cost of increased complexity.
- FIGURE 1 shows one embodiment ot the apparatus 3 running in the direction of the web, there is provided a printing head having a printing roller 9 supplied from a reservoir 11 via an intermediate roller.
- the printing head is carried by-a spring loaded linkage 12, 13, 13 suspended from a carriage 14 mounted for. motionin a direction parallel with the axle 6 upon rails 17.
- a cam-plate 22 having a pair of diametrically opposed, oppositely inclined cam surfaces, which is geared to the axle 6 for rotation at half the'speed of the drum is engaged at its periphery by pins 25 carried by an arm 27 keyed to a vertical axle 28.
- the adhesive bands printed during any revolution are staggered relative to those printed during 1 v the preceding revolution and the accumulated material can be expanded to the cellular state after removal fromthe drum followed by slicing parallel with the axle 6.
- FIG- URE 3 there is provided between the supply roll 1, and a hexagonal drum (like the drum 3 but not shownin this figure) a resinating trough 32, a drying chamber 33 and an axially movable printing head 34.
- the sheet material drawnfrorn the roll 1 is impregnated with a solution of a thermosetting resin in the trough 32 and subsequently dried in the chamber 33 to convert. the resin to the solid but still curable state'by a current of hot air which leaves "together with entrained solvent vapours at outlet 36.
- the dried material then passes through the printing head 34 which is automatically moved from one extreme position to the other by a pneumatic ram (not shown) actuated by a trip on the drum itself. As the material is the next always corresponds "with acorner. The direction of rotation ofthe drum is anti-clockwise.-
- the printing roller may be of a form such as to apply the bandsacross .the direction of the Web, i .e. parallel with the axle of the former or the apparatus may be constructed with a spring loaded or counter-balanced pressure roller; or a system of tensioned belts operating on the underside of the druminstead of or in addition to theroller '7.
