See full text

An apparatus for applying a vinyl cover to an elongated member utilizes a sheet extruder providing a sheet of pliable vinyl or fiber reinforced polymer of predetermined width, a feed conveyor capable of supporting and rotating an elongated member adjacent the sheet extruder such that a still hot and pliable sheet may be applied thereto beginning at a proximal end as the wooden member rotates. The feed conveyor includes a linear drive urging the member transversely of the sheet extruder to position the member for continuous application of the sheet substantially along the length thereof, a rotary drive engaging the member at the proximal end and capable of rotating the member to continuously apply the sheet over an opposite end of the member.
