  • Publication number: 20010046530
    Abstract: An adjustable forming assembly for molding laminate sheet material against a curved edge of a core. A plurality of wheels or other pressure members are arranged in an angular relationship so as to define the radius of curvature that matches the curved edge of the core. The pressure members move alternately towards and away from one another so as to selectively decrease and increase the radius of curvature to match curved edges of cores having different radii. The supports for the roller wheels are mounted to first and second frames that are moved together and apart by a drive mechanism, with the wheel supports being mounted to the first frame for radial movement and to the second frame for transverse movement, so that the wheel assemblies move together and apart while maintaining the same angular relationship. The adjustable forming assembly may be included in a ______-type laminate post-forming machine.
