Laminating machine

Abstract

A laminating machine including an improved laminating pull roll mounting assembly and an improved roll height adjustment mechanism. The roll mounting assembly is formed of a pair of inwardly and downwardly extending slots. The slots include a recess on which one hub of a pull roll can be placed prior to placing the roll into the slot. The recess allows a second roll to be placed on the machine while a first roll is being secured to the machine frame. The second roll is then secured to the frame of the machine by a height adjustment mechanism including a pair of pivoting plates connected to the frame by springs. The springs push the plates upwardly to increase the space between the first and second rolls. A winding mechanism also connected between he frame member and the plates can be selectively operated to adjust the space between the first and second rolls by acting against the bias of the springs.
