Filed:

Oct 2, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/677580

Inventors:

Karl Guddal - Seattle WA 98107

International Classification:

B32B 712

US Classification:

428343, 4283173, 4283177, 428 98, 428402

Abstract:

An apparatus for applying an improved adhesive to a series of sheets of insulation having drainage channels, wherein the apparatus includes a frame with a power-driven conveyor, a magazine for receiving sheets in stacked relation, and an elongated adhesive dispensing hopper adapted to apply an adhesive mixture having spacer beads or particles mixed therein on the top surface of each sheet of insulation adjacent to the drainage channels and including a shutter mechanism for forming transversely extending substantially adhesive-free pathways between the drainage channels and a screed attached to the hopper having optional scraper blades which wipe away any adhesive that may flow in the drainage channels.

Appl. No.:

8/123783

Inventors:

Karl Guddal - Seattle WA

International Classification:

B05C 309
B05C 318
B05C 1100

US Classification:

118686

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for sequentially applying a predetermined amount of adhesive to a series of sheets of insulation having a frame with a conveyor mounted at one end, a magazine adapted to maintain and dispense sheets of insulation, one at a time onto the conveyor, a floating adhesive dispensing hopper is positioned adjacent to the conveyor, and a sheet stopping mechanism located on the other side of the hopper at the opposite end of the frame. In operation, a plurality of sheets of insulation are loaded into the magazine, dispensed onto the conveyor one at a time, then driven by the conveyer under the floating adhesive dispensing hopper which applies adhesive to the entire width of the sheet of insulation as the sheet passes under the hopper. The stopping mechanism beyond the hopper stops the movement of the sheet of insulation by deactivating the conveyor until the sheet with the adhesive applied thereon is removed.
