Abstract:
Process of folding and securing at least one edge of a relatively flexible larger sheet over a corresponding edge of a relatively stiff smaller board positioned on and in contact with a surface of said sheet bearing an adhesive coating in contact with said board to form a laminated work-piece providing at least one extending edge of said sheet, said process comprising the steps of:moving said work-piece in a first direction to a first work-station wherein said extending edge is engaged and folded over said corresponding edge of said board at said first work station so that said extending edge, when folded, adhesively adheres to the opposite surface of said board;clamping said folded edge of said work-piece to secure an adhesive bond between said extending edge and said board;moving the clamped work-piece by holding said clamped edge, to effect transport of said work-piece in a second direction substantially opposite to said first direction.
