An apparatus for manufacturing wood samples has a rotatable mount (36) for a roll (38) of wood veneer such that the wood veneer may be substantially continuously dispensed from the roll (38). Veneer guides (72, 84, 150) direct the veneer through a sprayer (88) for applying a treatment to the wood veneer and a dryer (154, 158) for the wood veneer. A backing material (194) is applied to one side of the wood veneer (44) by an adhesive. A cutter (230) cuts the backed wood veneer into sample chips of a desired size. Optical and linear sensors (300, 336) control the cutting of the wood veneer and backing material. A method of continuously manufacturing wood sample chips whereby a roll (38) of wood veneer is directed through a spray booth (88) for applying a wood treatment. The treated wood veneer is directed through a dryer (154, 158). The dried wood veneer is directed over an adhesive-applying roller (166) such that adhesive is applied to one side of the veneer. Backing material (194, 458) is pressed against the side of the veneer having the adhesive. The veneer and backing (458) material is then cut in accordance with preselected size specifications and the sensed movement of the veneer and backing (458). The method or apparatus produce a length of treated wood veneer which may be sized for use as wood samples, slats for blinds, or other purposes. |

The aim is to provide an improved method for removing water from an adhesive compound and/or for protecting an adhesive compound against water from the surroundings. This is achieved using a method in which water is removed from a release liner up to a maximum water content of 75 wt.% of the water content in the release liner at a temperature of 23°C and 50% air humidity, and the release liner is brought into contact with the adhesive compound. |

A method of transferring a portion of a functional film (1) onto a substrate from a base plate (100) comprises the formation of a groove (S1) which passes through the said functional film and also a separating film (2) placed between the functional film and the base plate. A portion (2p) of the separating film is then detached from the base plate with the portion of the functional film. The portion of said separating film protects the portion of the functional film in the rest of the method. According to one improvement, the portion of the functional film which is detached from the base plate comprises a useful portion (1p) and a margin (1m) that are connected together by the portion (2p) of the separating film. The useful portion (1p) of the functional film may then be gripped and handled via the margin (1m). |
