Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a relatively long laminated plate by use of numerous relatively short plate elements.
  • a method of producing laminated plates is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 51-104006.
  • a number of relatively short plate elements are arranged and bonded one after another in a sequentially overlapping configuration and each with an inclination which is calibrated to counteract external forces. Then, opposite end portions of each plate element which appear on both major surfaces of the laminate are cut off so as to finish the major surfaces flat.
  • a method of producing a laminated plate of the present invention comprises the steps of (a) preparing a pair of blocks in each of which a plurality of plate elements overlap .[.ech.]. .Iadd.each .Iaddend.other in an inclined position such that the plate elements have one end portions .[.apearing.].
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of an aggregate of inclined and overlapping plate elements which is representative of one particular step included in an embodiment of the method of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a mechanism for implementing the method of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of a laminated plate produced by using the aggregate of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 4 to 21 are views representative of other various embodiments of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings there is shown an aggregate 10 of a number of overlapping plate elements 12 which are each inclined at a predetermined angle to the horizontal direction as viewed in FIG. 1.
  • the plate elements 12 are assumed to comprise veneers by way of example.
  • the veneers 12 are positioned such that their fibers extend substantially horizontally as viewed in FIG. 1.
  • Each veneer 12 has a length l 1 along the fibers and a thickness t.
  • the opposite end portions 12a and 12b of each veneer 12 respectively are spaced in predetermined distance l 2 from those of the nearby veneers 12 in the horizontal direction (see FIGS. 2 and 3).
  • the end-to-end distance l 2 may be expressed as:
  • the end-to-end distance l 2 and the thickness t may each be determined to match them to particular mechanical strength and thickness T which are required of the product.
  • the arrangement includes an aligning device 14 having a transport surface which is provided with numerous stepwise support portions, or shoulders, 14a. As shown, each of the shoulders 14a is spaced the previously mentioned distance l 2 from nearby ones in an intended direction of plate transport.
  • the veneers 12 are sequentially laid on the aligning device 14 such the veneers 12 individually abut against the shoulders 14a at their one end 12a. In this condition, the veneers 12 overlap each other in a predetermined inclined position with the nearby ends 12a and 12b spaced respectively the distance l 2 from each other in the horizontal direction.
  • the aligning device 14 is driven as indicated by an arrow A to transport the aligned veneer aggregate 1 toward a pressing device 16.
  • the pressing device 16 sequentially presses the veneers 12 to bond them together.
  • the veneers 12 do not always have to be completely bonded by means of adhesive and may even be bonded only temporarily.
  • the gist is that the bonding strength be great enough to maintain the veneers 12 in the overlapping configuration as described even when the aggregate 10 is cut as will be described.
  • the pressing device 16 may employ either one of the cold press principle and the hot press principle as the case may be.
  • a cutting device 18 is located downstream the pressing device 16 with respect to the intended direction of plate transport.
  • the cutting device 18 may be implemented by a knife, a circular saw, a band saw, an oscillation cutting device, etc.
  • the split 20 is undulated at one major surface 20a because the end portions 12a of the veneers 12 sequentially appear in steps at the .[.pitchs.].
  • the split 22 is undulated at one major surface 22a due to the end portions 12b which appear at the same pitches as the end portions 12a while being cut flat at the other major surface 22b.
  • the point of the aggregate 10 which is split by the cutting device 18 is such that the opposite end portions 12a and 12b of the veneers 12 are left uncut on the opposite surfaces of the aggregate and the mechanical strength of a laminated plate is little affected by the thicknesses t 1 and t 2 (see FIG. 3) of the splits 20 and 22, respectively.
  • Adhesive is applied to one major surface of one of the two splits 20 and 22. In this particular embodiment, it is assumed to be applied to the surface 20a of the split 20. Then, the split 20 is turned over and mated with the other split 22 in such a positional relationship that the end portions 12a appearing on one surface of the split 20 abut against those 12b appearing on one surface 22a of the other split 22.
  • the splits 20 and 22 which are bonded together in the above-stated interlocked position constitute a laminated plate as generally designated by the reference numeral 24.
  • the laminated plate 24 has flat major surfaces and the predetermined thickness T.
  • the splits, or blocks, 20 and 22 may be produced by any one of three different sequence of steps: one which cuts the aggregate 10 into pieces having a desired length and then splits each of the pieces, one which splits the aggregate 10 into two and the cutting the splits into pieces having a desired length, and one which bonds the splits 20 and 22 to form the laminated plate 24 and then cuts in into pieces having a desired length.
  • the splits 20 and 22 are stacked and bonded together in such a position that the end portions 12a protruding from one surface 20a of the split 20 and those 12b protruding from one surface 22a of the split 22 abut against each other.
  • the end portions 12a and 12b therefore, cooperate to constitute, so to speak, an intermediate layer of the laminated plate 24 which little influences the mechanical strength of the latter.
  • the end portions 12a and 12b of the veneers 12 are positively and effectively utilized to eliminate the need for the step of cutting them off and, thereby, to enhance the yield as a whole.
  • FIGS. 4-14 the same or similar structural parts and elements will be designated by like reference numerals to avoid redundant description.
  • FIG. 4 a first alternative embodiment of the present invention is shown.
  • the splits 20 and 22 in the laminated plate 24 are interlocked and bonded in such a manner that spaces 26 are defined between the opposing end portions 12a and 12b of the nearby veneers 12, that is, the opposing end portions 12a and 12b do not abut against each other.
  • the spaces 26 may be calibrated to, for example, increase the total thickness T 1 of the laminated plate 24 while decreasing the specific gravity of the same. If desired, the spaces 26 may be filled with an insecticide for adding special value to the product.
  • the veneers 12 in an aggregate are arranged such that the fibers of each plate element extend substantially perpendicularly to those of the nearby plate elements.
  • the splits 20 and 22 produced by cutting the so arranged aggregate are mated with the end portions 12a and 12b abutting against each other as stated in relation to the first embodiment, thereby completing the laminated plate 24.

  • a number of such composite veneers 32 are combined in an aggreaget (not shown) and, then, the aggregate is cut into splits, or blocks, 34 and 36. Thereafter, the splits 34 and 36 are interlocked and bonded together with one end portion 32a of the composite veneers 32 and the other end portion 32b which neighbors the end portions 32a abutted against each other.
  • a laminated plate shown in FIG. 7 may be obtained as follows: A single continuous plate member .Iadd.38 .Iaddend.is prepared, and is placed between the splits 34 and 36 that it makes contact with the respective stepwise surfaces 20a and 22a thereof. Then, the whole is pressed together, so that the two opposite surfaces of the middle plate member in contact with the stepwise surface 20a and 22a come to generally conform thereto while the former surfaces and the latter surfaces come to closely contact each other, thus bonding together the whole to produce a laminated plate.
  • the splits 34 and 36 and the single plate member are so oriented that the fibers of the plate member extend in directions perpendicular or parallel to the directions of the fibers of the splits 34 and 36 (although the fibers of the middle plate member 38 extend in the perpendicular directions in the illustrated embodiment).

  • the veneers 102 with adhesive are curved at one end 102a thereof to the above-mentioned curvature complementarily to the shoulders 100a and locked to the shoulders 100a one after another to be transported by the aligning device 100.
  • the veneers 102 are put one over another with a curvature and at an inclination which is determined by the distance l 2 and the thickness t.
  • the veneers 102 are then pressed by a pressing device (not shown) to become a fast aggregate (not shown) which is curved as viewed in a section perpendicular to the transport direction.
  • the aggregate is cut in a direction substantially perpendicular to the thickness of the aggregate and at a substantially intermediate point of the thickness which does not interfere with opposite ends 102a and 102b of the veneers 102, which appear stepwise on the opposite surfaces of the aggregate, and insures desired strength of a product 104.
  • the resulting splits respectively are shown in FIG. 20 and designated by the reference numerals 106 and 108, respectively.
  • the ends 102a and 102b of the veneers 102 are positioned on surfaces 106a and 108a of the splits 106 and 108 each at the previously mentioned intervals l 2 along the fibers and with a curvature.
  • the other surfaces 106b and 108b of the splits 106 and 108 which are cut as above stated each extends flat in the horizontal direction.
  • the splits 106 and 108 are bonded together in a predetermined positional relationship in which the ends 102a of the veneers 102 appearing on one surface 106a of the split 106 and those 102b appearing on one surface 108a of the split 108 abut against each other or face each other through an intermediate plate or plates.
  • the laminated plate 104 produced by the above procedure has flat major surfaces, i.e. the surfaces 106b and 108b.
  • both the major surfaces 106b and 109b and the opposite cut ends of the plate 104 present unique curved patterns which resemble the rings of a tree, thereby adding special value to the product.
  • the bonding of the splits, with or without an intermediate plate member or members is made by the application of an adhesive and pressing the splits together, as is commonly done on the art.
  • the pressing force applied to the aggregate of veneers for bonding the veneers together is relatively weak.
  • the pressing force may be increased to such an extent that veneers 112 which constitute an aggregate 110 are bent in the thicknesswise direction to cause their opposite ends 112a and 112b to appear substantially flat each on one surface of the aggregate 110 at the previously stated intervals l 2 .
  • the present invention provides a method which produces an elongate laminated plate efficiently with a high yield utilizing even the ends of plate elements heretofore cut off and wasted. Despite that each of the plate elements is short, they are capable of providing a laminated wood which features unprecedented mechanical strength.
