Patent attributes
A laminating machine with upper and lower laminating rollers and upper and lower laminating film supply rollers is disclosed. An upper laminating film extends onto the upper and lower laminating rollers and a lower laminating film also extends onto the laminating rollers. First and second frame members support the laminating rollers and the film supply rollers. A removable tray extending between the first and second frame members adjacent the nip between the laminating rollers carries a film insertion member which is moveable far enough to press the films into the nip. A spring-loaded chuck mounted on one of the frame members and supporting the end of a laminating film supply roller is also disclosed, as is an idler bar mounted in a bracket depending from the tray and engaging the film from the lower laminating film supply roller when the tray is in place. There is also a film deflector which overlies the upper laminating film as it exits from the laminating rollers located intermediate the upper laminating roller and an upper draw roller which is downstream.
