Patent ID: 8443858

Claim:
An edge banding machine comprising: a machine body unit including a mounting plate; a glue-applying unit including a glue container mounted on said mounting plate, and a glue-applying roller extending into said glue container and rotatable relative to said glue container; a transmission unit including a pair of front and rear conveying wheels disposed pivotally on said mounting plate and located respectively to two opposite sides of said glue-applying roller, a transmission member connected between and driven by said front and rear conveying wheels to rotate said glue-applying roller, and a motor operable for driving said front and rear conveying wheels to rotate, said front conveying wheel being disposed in front of said rear conveying wheel; and a feeding unit including two juxtaposed vertical rods disposed on said mounting plate and in front of said front conveying wheel and spaced apart from each other in a left-to-right direction by a passage distance, and two elongate projecting blocks disposed on said mounting plate, located respectively in front of said vertical rods, and spaced apart from each other by a distance that reduces gradually in a direction toward said front conveying wheel, each of said projecting blocks having a proximate end proximate to and spaced apart from a corresponding one of said vertical rods by a gap distance, and a distal end opposite to and spaced apart from said proximate end along the front-to-rear direction by a length distance, a ratio of the gap distance to the passage distance being not more than 4, a ratio of the length distance to the passage distance being not less than 5.
