Abstract

A method and apparatus for the sizing of a shaped extended element having a longitudinal axis and including lateral surfaces extending substantially parallel to axis. The apparatus includes a wheel rotatable about an axis and with the wheel including at least one planar ring-shaped surface extending perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and centered on the surface. The ring-shaped surface is adapted to cooperate with the lateral surface of the shaped elongated element during a displacement of the wheel relative to the element along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the element. A coating means is adapted to deposit, at least on the outer circumference of the wheel a sufficient amount of glue for allowing a sizing of the lateral surface of the shaped element.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A process for sizing a profiled elongated element having a longitudinal axis, a bottom surface, and two lateral surfaces parallel to said longitudinal axis and disposed substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a wheel having an axis, an outer circumferential surface and at least two ring-shaped surfaces, substantially perpendicular to the axis of the wheel,
moving said profiled elongated element relative to the wheel along a plane parallel to said longitudinal axis of said profiled elongated element,
coating at least the circumferential surface of the wheel with a sizing, and
applying the sizing on the profiled elongated element by transferring the sizing from the outer circumferential surface of said wheel to said bottom surface and to the respective lateral surfaces of the profiled elongated element.
