AUTOMATICALLY BUNDLING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF FLEXIBLE ENDLESS BAND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically bundle a predetermined number of flexible endless bands such as endless belts by housing a flexible band in the inner side of its outer flexible band.;SOLUTION: The endless belt B1 is supplied to a position such that it encloses the outer circumferential side of a pair of width narrowing members 11 and 12. A pushing member 13 advances from the starting position to push the outer circumferential surface of the endless belt B1 and moves between the pair of the width narrowing members 11 and 12 to the terminal position. Then the pair of the width narrowing members 11 and 12 approach each other and the second endless belt is supplied so that it encloses the outer circumference of the first endless belt. The pair of the width narrowing members 11 and 12 separate from each other and the pushing member 13 descends to be released from the two endless belts and returns to the starting position.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
