Apparatus for gluing of veneer sheets

Apparatus for applying glue to veneer sheets comprises elements for transporting veneer sheets, supported substantially in a horizontal position, to the gluing, a glue applying device for administering glue onto the veneer traveling under it, as well as elements for directing the glued veneers, supported substantially in a horizontal position, to a further processing, said conveying elements being located with respect to each other so as to leave in the direction of transport a transfer gap aligned with the glue administering device. The device further includes means for forcing the veneer to be glued and the glued veneer at its center portion in the direction of transport to a different level than the edge portions thereof in the direction of transport.
