ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treating a moving web of laminated composite material of the type having a relatively thin film layer adhered to a relatively thick paper layer for eliminating the tendency of the web to curl toward the film layer side thereof subsequent to being stored on a spool with the film layer of the web positioned inwardly of the paper layer of the web, the film layer and paper layer each having an exposed surface and an attached surface, the attached surfaces of the layers being adhered together, the paper layer having an outwardly positioned thickness portion which terminates at the exposed surface thereof, an inwardly positioned thickness portion which terminates at the attached surface thereof and an intermediately positioned thickness portion positioned between the outwardly positioned thickness portion and the inwardly positioned thickness portion, the outwardly positioned thickness portion being relatively stretched, the inwardly positioned thickness portion being relatively shrunk, the intermediately positioned thickness portion being relatively unstretched and unshrunk, the film layer being relatively shrunk through storage of the composite web on the spool, comprising: composite web supply means, film heating means, paper heating means; the stretching occurring in the inwardly positioned portion of the paper and in the film layer and the shrinking occurring in the outwardly positioned portion of the paper layer being of an amount whereby oppositely positioned portions of the film layer and the paper layer of the web are of substantially equal length in an unstressed state subsequent to treatment by the apparatus whereby the tendency of the composite web to curl toward the film layer side is eliminated.
