Patent ID: 8136473

Claim:
A gluing mechanism for a tissue paper winding machine for dispensing glue onto predetermined positions at a gluing side of a continuous long tape of tissue paper feeding via an inlet end and moved along a predetermined feeding path towards an outlet end; the gluing mechanism comprising: a glue dispensing roller having a roller surface adapted to evenly catch a sufficient amount of glue thereto; the glue dispensing roller being located at a predetermined distance from the gluing side of the tissue paper; at least one gluing member being located near the predetermined feeding path of the tissue paper to orient towards a contact side of the tissue paper opposite to the gluing side; and the gluing member including a pivot end and an action end, the gluing member having an elastic pad mounted to the action end thereof; and a driving mechanism connected to the pivot end of the gluing member for driving the gluing member to turn about the pivot end, so that the action end of the gluing member is moved to a glue dispensing position oriented towards the glue dispensing roller or away from the glue dispensing position; whereby when the tissue paper is moved from the inlet end of the winding machine along the predetermined feeding path between the glue dispensing roller and the gluing member, the gluing member is driven by the driving mechanism to turn the action end of the gluing member to the glue dispensing position, so that the tissue paper passing through between the glue dispensing roller and the gluing member is pushed by the action end to touch the roller surface of the glue dispensing roller, and an amount of glue is dispensed from the roller surface onto the gluing side of the tissue paper.
