The kind of floor known as a mosaic parquet, which consists of a number of small wooden strips not directly connected to one another, is generally, with a view to being subsequently laid in a building, prepared on the manufacturers premises by the assembly of small wooden strips into a pattern, the strips so assembled being then connected together by means of a sheet of paper or other suitable means. In the past this assembly of the individual wooden strips has been performed almost exclusively by manual labor, the individual wooden strips,
preferably of rectangular shape, being assembled in different directions in order to impart a pleasing appearance to the finished floor. A pattern of chess-board type, in which a specific number of strips with their graindirections parallel are assembled into squares, the squares then being laid side by side with their respective graindirections offset by 90", is very popular.
The object of the present invention is a machine characterized by the fact that the individual wooden strips are conveyed by two feed devices, which are approximately at right angles to each other, to a gate portion whose positively controlled gates open the exit from the feed devices for a certain number of strips at a time in the sequence necessary for the assembly of the desired mosaic pattern.
A typical embodiment of the machine is illustrated in the annexed drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a plan view of the machine,
Fig. 2 is a view in the direction of the arrow a in Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line II in Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 is a plan view of an alternative machine in which one conveyor belt is used to carry away the strips fed by two conveyor belts,
Fig. is a view taken in the direction of the arrow b in Fig. 4,
Fig. 6 is a section of the common conveyor belt according to Fig. 4, and
Fig. 7 is a plan view of another alternative machine in which a table is used as the common conveying means for the strips.
Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a strip feeding means in the form of a shaking table. The strips 12 are raised by means of the conveyor belt 2 from a machine or discharge station and fall on to the shaker plate 4a. Said plate is loosely attached to the frame 26 by means of springs 25, so that it can be shaken by a vibrator not shown in the drawing. The shaker plate 4a is provided with ribs 4b forming the channels 5 in which the strips are aligned in a direction transverse to the conveyor belt and are transferred to the conveyor belt 6 via the transfer plate 27 at the lower end of the shaker plate 4a.
Instead of only two conveyor belts, it is also possible to use a larger number of conveyor belts converging upon one such belt.
An alternative embodiment of the machine is shown in Figs. 4 to 7.
The strips are brought up by the conveyor belt 31 and by the conveyor belt 32 approaching said belt at a right angle. Between said two conveyor belts is disposed at common conveyor belt 33 which merely receives squares of strips from the two conveyor belts and conveys them to the collecting table 34, said conveyor belt 33 moving intermittently.
Said conveyor belt 33 is provided at both edges, over a distance equal to the length of one square of strips, with stops 37 to 40 arranged in such a manner that they permit the forward feed of strips from belt 31, at the same time blocking the feed of strips from belt 32, and vice versa. By means of the pushers 35 and 36 squares of strips are fed alternately on to the conveyor belt 33, which moves forward by paces each equal to the length of one square. As each successive group of four squares of strips used for the formation of a block of sixteen squares has a different sequence of longitudinally and transversely aligned squares, the stops must be arranged accordingly, that is to say in such a manner that on the side of the belt that is the left side in the direction of travel the stops 37 and 38 permit the charging of the transversely aligned strips and on the right-hand side of the belt the stops 39 and 40 permit the charging of Patented Apr. 1, 1958 the strips aligned in the direction of conveyance, from belt 32. If the first sequence terminates with a square of transversely aligned strips, then the next sequence likewise begins with a square of transversely aligned strips, the following sequence being thereby yielded: ll- 1 1 1ll -1-1 11- and so forth. Four squares at a time are discharged by a pusher 42 on to the block assembly device or table 34, on which sixteen individual blocks or squares of strips are joined together into a composite block by the gluing on of a sheet of paper or the like.
Fig. 6 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a part of the belt 33 in which the groups of stops 37 and 38 and 39 and 40 respectively are mounted. The movement of the pushers 35 and 36, which must likewise take place in accordance with the aforesaid rhythm, may be elfected by a pressure medium controlled by a control instrument and acting upon a piston, none of these instrumentalities being shown.
A further alternate embodiment is illustrated in Fig. 7. In this embodiment the conveyor belt 33 is replaced by a pusher 4-5 which pushes forward the squares of strips discharged by the pushers 35 and 36 on to the common conveyor table 46. This embodiment necessitates the use of stops 4? which arrest or release the supply from belt 32. Said stops 47, andthe pushers 35, 36 and 45 may likewise be operated by a pressuremedium or electrically through a control instrument.
Various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and it is intended that such obvious changes and modifications be embraced by the annexed claims.
