Method for manufacturing laminate for honeycomb structure

A method of manufacturing laminate for a honeycomb structure by moving a layering table and a roll housing stand, the roll housing stand moving in a first direction and the layering table moving in an opposite second direction, said roll housing stand including means for feeding the material strip from one roll, a pair of pressing/bonding rolls and a pair of means for applying a plurality of stripes of the adhesive agent, said method comprising the steps of

• (a) feeding a material strip by a predetermined length to an uppermost surface of a folded and layered material strip disposed on a layering table by forwardly moving said layering table by a stroke corresponding to said length in a first direction and by rearwardly moving said roll housing stand in a second opposite direction,
• (b) applying a plurality of first stripes of an adhesive agent to either the uppermost surface of the layered material strip on said layering table or a lower surface of the material strip being fed by one of a pair of means for applying a plurality of stripes of the adhesive agent when said layering table is moved forwardly and said roll housing stand is moved rearwardly,
• (c) immediately pressing the material strip being fed to the layered material strip by one of a pair of pressing/bonding rolls when said layering table is moved forwardly and said roll housing stand is moved rearwardly,
• (d) folding a rear end of said length of the material strip,
• (e) feeding the material strip by the length to a new upper surface of the folded and layered material strip disposed on the layering table by moving rearwardly said table by said stroke and by moving forwardly said roll housing stand,
• (f) applying a plurality of second stripes of an adhesive agent to either said new upper surface or the lower surface of the material strip being fed by the other of said pair of means for applying a plurality of stripes of the adhesive agent when said layering table is moved rearwardly and said roll housing stand is moved forwardly, said second stripes being displaced transversely by a half pitch from the first stripes of the adhesive agent,
• (g) immediately pressing the material strip being fed to the folded and layered material strip by the other of said pair of pressing/bonding rolls when said layering table is moved forwardly and said roll housing stand is moved rearwardly,
• (h) holding the rear end of said length of the material strip, and
• (i) repeating the above steps (a) to (h).
