Abstract
The improved racla device to be mounted in an apparatus for coupling fabrics by means of a glue, contains a reservoir for collecting the glue, a knurled roller and the reservoir is in contact with the surface of the knurled roller. Further the device is composed of a slab which is provided at its lower end with a metallic lamina which closes the bottom of the reservoir, while keeping always the contact with the surface of the roller.
Claims4
An improved racla device for use with an apparatus for coupling two fabrics by means of a glue interposed therebetween, said glue being dissolved by the combined action of heat and pressure to from an intermediate bonding agent, said racla device being adapted to deposit glue on a knurled surface of a rotating roller which in turn deposits a layer of micro-drops of said glue on a surface of a first fabric which slides in contact with the knurled surface of said roller, a second fabric is placed in contact with the glue covered surface of said first fabric and the two fabrics are pressed together and coupled by the compression action of two counterposed cylinders so as to form a fabric with two layers, said racla device comprising:
- a) a slab (10) extending the length of said knurled roller (3);
- b) a metallic lamina (11) being removably supported at a lower end of said slab (10), said metallic lamina (11) being formed of harmonic steel having a high degree of elasticity and a thickness in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter;
- c) a lower block (15) secured to a base of said slab (10) and defining a seat (14) therewith for slidably receiving said metallic lamina (11), the height of said seat (14) being determined by a spacer (16) which is substituted as a function of the thickness of said metallic lamina (11);and
- d) a package of electrical resistances (12) applied on a terminal part of said slab (10) for maintaining said glue at a correct temperature,
- whereby said metallic lamina (11) is mounted in said seat (14) under compression conditions with a rear end thereof placed against said spacer (16) and a protruding end (17) which is curved with an apex (18) placed in contact with the knurled surface (19) of knurled roller (3) in a direction opposite with respect to the direction of rotation of said knurled roller so that an action of cleaning by scraping on the knurled surface (19) is achieved, and
- whereby a reservoir for collecting said glue and being in contact with the knurled surface (19) of knurled roller (3) is formed bv said slab (10) and said protruding end (17) of said metallic lamina (11).
