Abstract:
An apparatus for positioning and locking a glue roll supported on the frame of the glue machine and moving the glue roll into operative position with respect to a corrugating roll supported on the frame of a single facer machine, said apparatus comprising:a pair of laterally spaced front wheels attached to and supporting the glue machine frame on a rotatable front pivot arm; a pair of laterally spaced rear wheels attached to and supporting the glue machine frame on a rotatable rear pivot arm; and, an actuator device connecting said front and rear pivot arms and operable to initially rotate the front pivot arm to move the front wheels from an idle position supporting the front of the glue machine frame on a horizontal support surface to a locked position with the front wheels lifted from the horizontal surface and the front of the glue machine frame lowered vertically into a pivotal position on laterally spaced supports defining a common axis on the single facer machine frame and the glue machine frame and, said actuator device operable thereafter to rotate the rear pivot arm and move the rear wheels over the horizontal surface to rotate the glue machine frame about the axis of the supports from the locked position to a running position defined by a glue machine frame abutment surface in contact with a single facer machine abutment surface.
