Claims24
A slide bar for use in a veneer joining apparatus comprising:
- a cover formed at least partially of a thermal insulating material with a groove formed therein along a longitudinal axis of the cover;
- an insert formed at least partially of a heat conducting material having a channel formed therein along the longitudinal axis, wherein the insert is retained within the groove;
- a heating element formed at least partially of an electrically conductive material positioned within the channel and at least partially surrounded by the insert;
- and
- coupling means for coupling the slide bar to the veneer joining apparatus.
A veneer joining apparatus comprising:
- first and second opposing slide bars, each slide bar having a thermally conductive insert with a channel formed therein along a longitudinal axis and an electrically conductive heating element positioned within the channel;
- pressure applying means for applying pressure to at least one of the first and second slide bars;
- and
- electrical means for supplying electricity to the heating elements of the first and second slide bars.
A veneer joining apparatus having at least one slide bar along which veneer pieces to be glued are guided, wherein the slide bar includes a groove extending along a longitudinal axis of the slide bar and an insert made of a flexible, heat conducting material positioned in the groove, and wherein the insert includes a reception groove for at least partially receiving a heating element therein.
