Abstract
An apparatus for cutting and splicing sheets of wood veneer includes two pairs of dies is in opposed cooperating relationship with spacing between the pairs of dies sufficient to receive at least two sheets of wood veneer in an overlapping relation therebetween. In each pair of dies, one die in opposed cooperating relationship with the other die, and one die in each pair is transversely moveable, serving as a holding die, and the other die in each pair is stationary in relation thereto and serves as a cutting die. Means are also provided to move the dies so that upon movement of the dies the overlapping sheets of material are cut and spliced in one operation.
Claims11
An apparatus for cutting and splicing sheets of wood veneer, comprising:
- a support assembly for two pairs of dies and means to move the dies in a cutting and splicing relationship with each other;
- a first pair of elongated dies in opposed cooperating relation, a first die being a holding die and being transversely moveable within a second die, said second die being a cutting die and being stationary in relationship with said first die;
- a second pair of elongated dies in opposed cooperating relation, a third die being a holding die and being transversely moveable within a fourth die, said fourth die being a cutting die and being stationary in relationship with said third die;
- said first and second pairs of dies being mounted in spaced parallel relationship, said first pair of dies being transversely moveable toward said second pair of dies;
- a spacing between said first and second pairs of dies of sufficient thickness to receive at least two sheets of wood veneer material disposed in overlapping relationship therebetween;
- and
- means to move the dies in a cutting and splicing relationship with each other.
