Abstract
Sheet products, such as card stock, envelopes and other paper products ( ) are advanced on a vacuum surface conveyor belt ( ) beneath a glue applicator drum ( ). The glue transfer strips ( and ) of the glue applicator drum apply stripes of glue ( and ) at the ends of the sheet product, leaving a belt engaging space ( ) without glue between the glue stripes. The sheet product is grasped by overlying conveyor belts ( and ) at the belt engaging space ( ), thereby exposing the wet glue stripes on opposite sides of the belts. Hot air is applied on opposite sides of the conveyor belts ( and ), drying the glue. The glue transfer strips ( and ) of the glue applicator drum can be adjusted in size, shape and position so as to apply glue to one end, the other end, or both ends of the sheet product, and if glue is applied to only one end, one of the dryers ( or ) can be deactivated, saving energy.
