Abstract

Abstract A continuously and synchronously operated plastics coating device for elongated bamboo poles or the like consists of a plastics feeding unit having a plastics injection unit planted in a perpendicular relationship to a molding member. Plastic is injected thereout in a film state through a round fissure so to coat a continuously forward-moving bamboo pole with a film of plastics. The pole is fed through one end of the assembly and moves into the film of plastics so that a continuous coating process is effected thereby.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 364 words
A continuously and synchronously operated plastic coating device for coating bamboo poles with a plastic molding means, comprising: a tubular body, having an open-ended duct extending therethrough and a connecting duct extendedly mounted onto a wall of said tubular body, said connecting duct having a smaller diameter than said open-ended duct and having a circular fixing plate disposed on the top thereof, said connecting duct being communicable with said open-ended duct and located perpendicularly with respect to one another; a open-ended form central jacket duct having a front portion thereof having a smaller diameter than a rear portion thereof, said jacket having a funnel-shaped portion extendedly disposed directly behind a frontmost journal end, a connector duct defined directly behind said funnel-shaped portion, and a flange member defined at a rear end of said jacket duct; a central guide member having an internal openended duct disposed therein and a flanged end, said internal duct being defined to have a tapered surface with one end having a larger diameter than a second end thereof; a fixing ring having a central hole with a diameter substantially equal to that of the second end of the central guide member for fixedly securing said central guide member inside said tubular body; four thermal elements having a flat ring form and outwardly extended fixing lugs for permitting said elements to be fixed at both ends of said tubular body and the outside of said central guide member, said connecting duct having a thermal source line connected respectively to said elements for heating up plastic molding means; and means defining a small gap formed between said funnel-shaped portion of said central jacket duct and said internal tapered surface of said central guide member, said gap extending to the second end of said central guide member to define a round fissure through which said plastic molding means is squeezed out to form continuous plastic film to coat a surface of the bamboo pole guided through said device via the central hole, located at the frontmost journal end of said central jacket duct, and said tubular body so that the bamboo pole can be continuously and synchronously coated with the plastic film thereby.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 364 words
A continuously and synchronously operated plastic coating device for coating bamboo poles with a plastic molding means, comprising: a tubular body, having an open-ended duct extending therethrough and a connecting duct extendedly mounted onto a wall of said tubular body, said connecting duct having a smaller diameter than said open-ended duct and having a circular fixing plate disposed on the top thereof, said connecting duct being communicable with said open-ended duct and located perpendicularly with respect to one another; a open-ended form central jacket duct having a front portion thereof having a smaller diameter than a rear portion thereof, said jacket having a funnel-shaped portion extendedly disposed directly behind a frontmost journal end, a connector duct defined directly behind said funnel-shaped portion, and a flange member defined at a rear end of said jacket duct; a central guide member having an internal openended duct disposed therein and a flanged end, said internal duct being defined to have a tapered surface with one end having a larger diameter than a second end thereof; a fixing ring having a central hole with a diameter substantially equal to that of the second end of the central guide member for fixedly securing said central guide member inside said tubular body; four thermal elements having a flat ring form and outwardly extended fixing lugs for permitting said elements to be fixed at both ends of said tubular body and the outside of said central guide member, said connecting duct having a thermal source line connected respectively to said elements for heating up plastic molding means; and means defining a small gap formed between said funnel-shaped portion of said central jacket duct and said internal tapered surface of said central guide member, said gap extending to the second end of said central guide member to define a round fissure through which said plastic molding means is squeezed out to form continuous plastic film to coat a surface of the bamboo pole guided through said device via the central hole, located at the frontmost journal end of said central jacket duct, and said tubular body so that the bamboo pole can be continuously and synchronously coated with the plastic film thereby.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said tubular body comprises a plurality of screw holes symmetrically disposed at substantially equal distances from one another on two sides and the wall of said tubular body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said circular fixing plate comprises a plurality of recess cuts set along the periphery thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said connector duct comprises a protrusion block mounted thereon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said flange member of said jacket duct comprises a plurality of screw holes disposed thereon for fixing said jacket duct inside said tubular body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said fixing ring comprises a plurality of screw holes arranged thereon in accordance with those corresponding screw holes of said tubular body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 14 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said plastic molding means comprises melted plastic.
Claim 9
