The present invention relates to a method of producing a glued wood product for use in construction, comprising the steps of: providing at least two wooden pieces each piece comprising at least one joining face; creating a groove in at least one of said joining faces where the groove is arranged between a pair of peripheral edges; applying adhesive onto at least one of the joining faces of at least a first of said two wooden pieces; arranging said first wooden piece so that the joining face which comprises the applied adhesive meets a corresponding joining face of said second wooden piece, wherein at least one of said two joining faces comprises said groove; pressing the two joining faces towards each other so that the adhesive is compressed between said two wooden pieces, and maintaining said pressing for a sufficient time to bond the wooden pieces to each other; wherein the applied pressing force is strong enough to force the wood tissue to collapse at a contact area until the pressure force is transmitted primarily through the adhesive, wherein said contact area is defined by the surface area whereat the two joining faces of said wooden pieces contact each other upon being pressed together.

The present disclosure provides a structural member (10), such as a beam, a stud or a joist, presenting a predetermined bending direction (B). The structural member comprises a plurality of glued-together wood lamellae (20a, 20b), each having a lamella cross section which is parallel with a cross section of the structural member (10) and a longitudinal direction which is parallel with a longitudinal direction of the structural member and with a principal grain direction of the wood lamellae (20a, 20b). In the structural member, the lamellae (20a, 20b) are formed as radial sections of a log and present cross sections which are triangular or trapezoidal and present a respective base surface (bs1) that is formed at a radially outer part of the log. The lamellae (20a, 20b) are arranged as at least one layer in which base surfaces (bs1) of a pair of immediately adjacent lamellae (20a, 20b) face opposite directions. The base surfaces (bs1) are perpendicular to the bending direction (B).

A semi product for building panels or structural elements comprising several wood lamellas (5) fixed by distance elements (4), a building panel with such a semi product and a method of producing the semi product and the building panel. A method of producing a semi-product for a structural element or for a core for a building panel, wherein the method comprises the step of: attaching at least two distance strips by an adhesive to a first wood board; attaching a second wood board to the distance strips by an adhesive; and cutting the first and the second wood boards and the distance strips in the length direction of the wood boards.

An adhesive and release liner application system and method. A bottom table is slidable with respect to a frame and a middle table is slidable with respect to the bottom table. An elevator drive subsystem between a top table and the middle table is configured to adjust the elevation of the top table relative to the middle table. An adhesive head, connected to an adhesive supply subsystem, a release liner applicator, a release liner cutter, and a staple gun are mounted to the top table for applying the adhesive to a surface of a structural member positioned adjacent the top table, for applying a release liner over the adhesive on the surface, for inserting at least one staple through the release liner and into the surface, and for cutting the release liner.

A fitting attachable to a cross-laminated panel provides a chase, plumbing space, airflow duct, or wiring route on an edge of the cross-laminated panel. The fitting may run between edges of multiple cross-laminated panels that contain integral hollow members, forming a customizable network of contiguous coplanar routing paths, accessible without installing pipes and wires behind, or in front of the cross-laminated panels. The fitting may also provide a vertical chase for single or multiple cross-laminated panels. The fitting takes advantage of one or more hollow members in the cross-laminated panels to provide contiguous routing paths for wires, pipes, and venting within the cross-laminated panels themselves, extending across any layout of multiple cross-laminated panels. The fitting may additionally serve as mechanical support for attachment of adjacent panels. Further, the fitting may provide structural connection for the CLT panels as required to meet structural code requirements for the building.

A machine for conical machining workpieces of wood and plastics has a support supporting the workpieces during feeding in a transport direction through the machine. Rotatably driven tools are provided to machine longitudinal sides of the workpieces extending in the transport direction. At least one of the rotatably driven tools is adjustable transverse to the transport direction. A tongue and groove guide guides the workpieces through the machine in transport direction. In a method for conical machining workpieces, the workpieces prior to or during feeding are measured in regard to the conicity to be machined. A form-fit element is produced on the workpieces and interacts with a counter form-fit element during feeding of the workpieces so as to guide the workpieces in transport direction. At least one of the rotatably driven tools is adjusted transverse to the transport direction during feeding of the workpieces based on the measured conicity.

An automatic machine for width gluing of wooden lamellas into laminated plates of optional dimensions according to the invention consists of a press and a glue application device and enables fast continuous gluing of wooden lamellas of optional lengths, widths and thicknesses into laminated plates also of optional dimensions. The press is characterized by a modular construction, which consists of innovative supporting framework segments with intermediate work modules in a sequential string, which together enable transport of wooden lamellas, their pressing and gluing in the same plane within the entire construction of the press. Each work module consists of a work table assembly, a pressure shoes assembly and a segment pushers assembly. Within these assemblies, innovative constructions of segment pushers, long pressure shoes and short pressure shoes are characteristic.

The invention relates to an embryo loading device used for veneer horizontal jointing machine. The embryo loading device is characterized by comprising a clutch gear wheel part (3) and a rolling wheel part (4), wherein the clutch gear wheel part (3) is formed by a left shaped box frame (3T) and a right shaped box frame (3P), a clutch wheel (3.1), two drive shafts (3.2) and pinion (3.3). The rolling wheel part (4) according to the first embodiment of the invention is formed by a pair of two double roiling wheels (4K) composed of a rolling wheel rim (4.1), a main rolling wheel (4.2), an auxiliary rolling wheel (4.3), a polycentric coupling (4.4) and a sliding rail (4.5). In the rolling wheel part (4) according to the second embodiment of the invention, two clutch rollers (4.1C) are replaced for two double rolling wheels (4K).

The present invention relates to a flexible sheet of wood strips for use in the fabrication of engineered floor boards or wood sheets and including the machine and method of manufacture of the flexible sheet of wood strips. The wood strips provide a wood floor which has much more stability than a solid wood plank which is much more affected by the temperature in a room and the moisture under the floor board. Also solid wood planks are much more expensive than engineered wood planks where only a very thin layer of quality wood material is utilized. The transverse wood strips are constructed of inferior wood material. Two or more treads of flexible material may be secured transversely to the wood strips to provide additional retention of the wood strips in the flexible sheet.
