Abstract

993,092. Seaming non-metallic sheet material. CANADIAN INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 4, 1963 [Sept. 6, 1962], No. 34960/63. Heading B5K. Thermoplastic films are sealed together by bringing together layers 1, 1a of film of the same thermoplastic in overlapping and heat sealable contact; applying a molten strip or filament 5 of thermoplastic material on to the outside surface of the top layer along the overlap area, the strip 5 having a sufficient heat content to fuse the interfaces of the layers 1, 1a along the application zone S of the strip 5; maintaining the layers 1, la in non-slip contact with each other during the fusing operation; and cooling the strip 5 after fusion has been effected. As shown, the overlapping layers 1, 1a of polythene film are unwound from a roll 2 on to a driven conveyer belt 3. A polypropylene filament 5 heated to a temperature of 600‹ F. is directly extruded from an extruder 6 on to the layer 1 and fuses the layers 1, 1a along the zone S of deposition. Preferably the layers 1, 1 are conveyed faster than the filament extrusion speed so that the filament 5 is stretched as it is deposited on the layer 1. Nozzles 7 supply cooled compressed air to rapidly cool the filament 5 and then the assembly of the layers 1, 1a and the filament 5 pass around idler rolls 9 in a water bath 8 maintained at 60‹ F. A rubber coated steel roll 10 may be provided to press the layers 1, 1a together in the cooling area. The sealed film passes around idler rolls 11 and is wound on a roll 12. Where practicable, the cooled filament 5 may be stripped from the film, wound on a roll 13 and returned to the extruder for re-use. The nozzles 7 may be replaced by a chilled metal roll. Solid or hollow strips or filaments 5 of circular, elliptical, flat or triangular cross-section may be provided and the thermoplastic material of the strip or filaments may be the same as or different from the film layers. Specified materials are polythene, polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chloride. More than two layers may be scaled by this method and the invention may be applied to packages, tubes or sheets.
