ACTIVATION DEVICE FOR A DEVICE FOR APPLYING EDGE STRIPS, WHICH CAN BE HEAT-ACTIVATED WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE IN PARTICULAR, ONTO PLATE-LIKE WORKPIECES

摘要

The invention relates to an activation device for a device for applying edge strips (1), which can be heat-activated without an adhesive in particular, onto plate-like workpieces, having at least one hot gas inlet (9) for supplying heated and pressurized hot gas (12) into an activation chamber (26), in which the hot gas (12) heats the heat-activatable layer of the edge strip (1), and at least one catching device (8) for catching and discharging the heated hot gas (12) from the activation chamber (26). The activation chamber (26) is bordered such that the hot gas (12) flowing through the activation chamber (26) is conducted from the hot gas inlet (9) to the catching device (8) for the hot gas (12) almost completely within the activation chamber (26) without being able to exit the activation chamber (26).
