Splicer apparatus for cross-flute corrugated board

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Apparatus is disclosed for splicing together successive sections of single facer corrugated board having planar and corrugated fibrous layers which, sections are initially conveyed colinearly in spaced relation at uniform speed with the flutes extending in the direction of travel of the sections charac-, terized by the provision of a reciprocatory vacuum bar feed member operable initially to accelerate a subsequent section relative to a preceding section to a position in which a protruding layer portion at the trailing end of the preceding section is in superposed relation relative to a protruding layer portion at the leading end of the subsequent section, and subsequently to displace the …
