ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making a laminate has a rack having upper and lower vertically displaceable platforms adapted to support respective stacks of upper and lower foils and set up so that the uppermost foils of the respective stacks are always positioned at respective upper and lower levels. A central conveyor has an upstream stretch extending horizontally between the upper and lower platforms from a position upstream of these platforms to a position spaced downstream therefrom, so that it can displace a board in a transport direction between these platforms to an assembly location downstream of the platforms. Upper and lower horizontally displaceable carriages provided generally at the respective levels with suction lifters are displaceable between upstream positions above the respective stacks and downstream positions above respective upper and lower conveyors whose downstream ends terminate at the assembly location so that the uppermost foils can be picked off the stacks at these levels and deposited by the suction lifters on the upper and lower conveyors. In their turn the upper and lower conveyors transport these foils to the assembly location where they are applied to the upper and lower faces of the board, and the thus-formed sandwich is then transported away for pressing into a decorative laminate.
