International Classification:

B65H 19/22

US Classification:

242533, 2425331, 2425332

Abstract:

A plurality of upper spool rails arranged over a reel-up device. Each elevated rail temporarily stores reeling spools that are successively loaded into a reeling station to wind a web and form finished reels of paper. The elevated spool rails include: a first pair of parallel upper spool rails extending over the reel-up device and adapted to support a plurality of a first type of reeling spools; and a second pair of parallel upper spool rails spaced above the first pair, and adapted to a plurality of a second type of reeling spools.

International Classification:

D21F 106
D21F 136

US Classification:

162348

Abstract:

A system for forming a web from a dilute, aqueous slurry of fibers wherein a thin, horizontally-extending aqueous stream of fibers is projected onto a travelling foraminous forming wire. The forming wire is disposed to travel over a forming board which has a leading lip which is deflected downwardly with respect to the oncoming jet stream. The lower surface of the jet stream is disposed substantially parallel with the surface of the travelling foraminous wire wire at the point where the stream contacts the wire to minimize turbulence at the point of initial contact of the jet stream on the wire and subsequent spouting of the fibrous stock downstream in the forming zone.

International Classification:

US Classification:

427356

Abstract:

A coater apparatus is disclosed for applying a primary flow of coating material to a moving web of paper. The apparatus includes a frame and a first and a second guide roll rotatably supported by the frame. The first and second guide rolls rotate respectively around first and second rotational axes. The second axis of rotation is disposed spaced and parallel relative to the first axis. A backing blanket extends around and is guided by the guide rolls. The blanket defines an endless loop around the guide rolls such that the web of paper is supported by the blanket during movement of the web from the first guide roll to the second guide roll. The blanket is disposed between the web and the guide rolls. A short dwell coater is disposed adjacent to the web and between the guide rolls for applying the primary flow of coating material to the web. While the web supported by the blanket is moving between the guide rolls, the web is moving in a plane disposed tangentially relative to the guide rolls such that secondary flows within the coater are inhibited.
