Abstract:
Rows of wood fillets are assembled into panels by step-wise advancing the rows through two stages of wedge-shaped heating and gluing blocks where the edges of the fillets are pre-heated and then coated with a hot melt adhesive before being brought together with a strip of polyethylene foam between the edges of the fillets. The first stage assembles selected groups of the rows and the second stage joins the several groups so that the entire assemblage is accomplished over a relatively short distance and time. The resultant assembly exhibits improved flexibility and cohesiveness.
