Claims
- 1. An apparatus for drying a veneer sheet comprising a plurality of juxtaposed rotary heaters adapted to feed a veneer sheet in a predetermined direction; two sets of elongated resilient members passed over said rollers to hold the veneer sheet between said two sets, each elongated resilient member including a coil spring, each rotary heater having recesses therearound to receive the elongated resilient members to bring the veneer sheet held between said sets into a contact engagement with the rotary heater; and speed-reducing means for decelerating the rotary heaters to a progressively larger extent toward a down stream side with respect to the veneer movement.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said deceleration is performed in correspondence with veneer contraction.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each two adjacent elongated resilient members in each set are spaced from each other by a distance 150 times the veneer thickness.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein each two adjacent elongated resilient members in each set are spaced from each other by a distance 150 times the veneer thickness.
