Abstract
A method and apparatus for the sizing of a shaped extended element having a longitudinal axis and including lateral surfaces extending substantially parallel to axis. The apparatus includes a wheel rotatable about an axis and with the wheel including at least one planar ring-shaped surface extending perpendicular to the axis of the wheel and centered on the surface. The ring-shaped surface is adapted to cooperate with the lateral surface of the shaped elongated element during a displacement of the wheel relative to the element along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the element. A coating means is adapted to deposit, at least on the outer circumference of the wheel a sufficient amount of glue for allowing a sizing of the lateral surface of the shaped element.
