  • Device for continuously measuring and correcting tackiness of sheet of unvulcanized rubber material
    Patent number: 5049057
    Abstract: A device for continuously measuring and correcting a tackiness of a sheet of rubber material including a feeding unit for continuously feeding an unvulcanized rubber sheet along a flat support surface and a rotatable roller in contact with the unvulcanized rubber sheet, whereby the roller is rotated by the movement of the unvulcanized rubber sheet, and entrained in the sheet feed direction due to a tackiness of the unvulcanized rubber sheet. A load cell is connected to the roller via a linkage, for measuring a resistance to the rolling of the roller, i.e., a change of a position of the roller entrained in the sheet feed direction.
