A rotatable roll is provided under a planing cylinder rotating at a fixed position. A front feed unit and a rear feed unit having an upper and a lower roll for gripping the plate are provided upstream and downstream of the planing cylinder with respect to the feed direction of the plate. A front movable body and a rear movable body having an upper and a lower roll for gripping the plate member are provided between the planing cylinder and the front feed unit and between the planing cylinder and the rear feed unit. The upper and lower rolls of the front and rear movable bodies are forcibly moved up and down. The plate member is supported at three points and deflected downward to prevent floating of the plate during cutting and to prevent the formation of depressions in the plate near its front and rear ends during cutting.

An apparatus for and a method of bonding veneers without problems in manufacturing process even if logs, which causes disorder of veneers after dried are used. The veneer bonding apparatus for bonding veneers to each other comprises: a bonding face machining device for machining both end portions of a veneer to be bonded to bonding faces; a bonding agent applying device for applying bonding agent to at least one bonding face of the machined bonding faces; an adjusting device for adjusting a front end bonding face of a succeeding veneer to a rear end bonding face of a preceding veneer such that a face side of the preceding veneer with the applied bonding agent and a backside of the succeeding veneer with the applied bonding agent are flush with each other; and a pressurizing device for pressurizing the adjusted bonding faces to each other.

Veneer bonding apparatus, veneer bonding method, bonded veneers, and

An apparatus for cutting opposed irregularly shaped ends of veneers to produce opposed inclined end faces and for bonding the veneers together at the inclined end faces thereof, has a cutter which cuts an irregularly shaped end of a veneer to produce an end face inclining from an upper edge to a lower edge a little ahead of the upper edge. The apparatus also has an adhesive-material supplying device with outlets from which an adhesive material is projected. The outlets are located substantially directly above, and in immediate proximity to, an inclined front end face of a following veneer on a first support member. When a second support member is pivoted to bring an inclined rear end face of a preceding veneer thereon into contact with the inclined front end face of the following veneer, the inclined rear end face of the preceding veneer picks off the adhesive material projected from the outlets of the adhesive-material supplying device immediately before coming into contact with the inclined front end face of the following veneer.

A method and apparatus of splicing a train for veneer sheets being fed in a horizontal direction on infeed and outfeed conveyors operated by electric sensors that signal the conveyors to start or to stop at predetermined appropriate times when the preceding and succeeding veneer sheets pass certain predetermined positions, coordinated with application of a strand and beads of a thermoplastic adhesive onto said train of the veneer sheets on conveyors by a cold press. According to this method and apparatus, the splicing of veneer sheets may be achieved with an increased speed and strength of splicing in the transverse direction, in comparison with conventional method and apparatus.
