  • Patent number: 7032323
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for compacting a continuously conveyed fiber composite (V) by means of heat (W) impingement. A heated treatment medium (L) is blasted towards the fiber composite (V) by means of at least one nozzle arrangement (2a, 2b). Said nozzle arrangement (2a, 2b) comprises a plurality of adjacent blasting nozzles (4) which are disposed at a distance (a) from each other. An intermediate space (5) is formed between two adjacent nozzles (4). Said intermediate space (5) between blasting nozzles (4) is essentially closed to the fiber composite (V) counter to the conveying path (F) such that an overpressure (P) can be created in a pressure chamber (6) located between the nozzle arrangement and the surface (O) of the fiber composite (V), whereby the treatment medium (L) can be blasted through the entire thickness of the fiber composite (V) even when said fiber composite has a great thickness.

  • Patent number: 6827785
    Abstract: In a device for depositing coating material with the manufacture of coated and/or impregnated sheet formations the thickness of the coated sheet formation is monitored with two metering rollers (11, 13) rotating against the sheet formation. The distance measurement between the contact surfaces (12, 14) of the metering rollers (11, 13) is carried out by way of measuring surfaces (16, 18) concentric to the metering rollers (11, 3) which have a smaller diameter (d1) than the contact surfaces (12, 14).

  • Patent number: 6425344
    Abstract: With a method and a device for coating a continuously delivered, web-like sheet formation (2) a first layer (3) of a paste-like plastic is deposited in sections. A second layer (4) of powder-like thermoplastic plastic is subsequently flatly scattered on. The coated sheet formation (2) is subsequently subjected to thermal treatment. Before the thermal treatment, the powder (7) deposited between the sections of the first layer (3) is swirled up by an air jet (L) directed obliquely against the surface (6) of the sheet formation (2) and is simultaneously sucked off by a suction means (10).

  • Patent number: 6295706
    Abstract: For fibrillating a continuously conveyed, textile sheet material (3) a fluid under high pressure is delivered through a wide-slot nozzle (6) as a continuous fluid curtain (14) onto the sheet material (3). With this gentle way of fibrillating all types of fabrics may be fibrillated, in particular also light materials. The wide-slot nozzle (6) can be manufactured simply and inexpensively.

  • Patent number: 5893933
    Abstract: There is disclosed a device for the continuous fulling of a material web (6) of textile woven fabrics and knitted fabrics with a guiding passage (15) through which the material web (6) can be guided through and accelerated by means of a fluid. At the end of the guiding passage (15), there is provided an impact surface (16, 17), against which the material web (6) can be flung by the fluid. Between the impact surface (16, 17) and the guiding passage (15) there are additionally provided guiding means (26, 26') by means of which the material web (6), which is broadly guided in the guiding passage, can be brought together to a material strand (25) before impinging on the impact surface (16, 17).

  • Patent number: 5845355
    Abstract: A method and a device for fibrillating cellulose fibers contained in a fabric web (3) comprise the fabric web (3) being withdrawn from a fabric storage chamber (6), accelerated through a guide slot by means of liquid flowing at high speed and then flung against a rebound surface (13). The fabric web can be transported alternatingly in both directions through the guide slot (7) and flung onto the first rebound surface (13) and a second rebound surface (16).

  • Patent number: 5820539
    Abstract: A device (1) for continuous plaiting of web-shaped material with a plaiting table (2) and a plaiting arm (3) possesses auxiliary depositing means (5) insertable between the plaiting arm (3) and the plaiting table (2). The auxiliary depositing means (5) enable continuous plaiting of the material, even when the material stack (4) laid on the plaiting table (2) is being unloaded from the plaiting table (2). Apart from that, in order to attain the most regular possible layering of the web-shaped material, the plaiting table (2) and the auxiliary depositing means (5) are arranged to be height adjustable. Additionally, the auxiliary depositing means (5) possesses recesses (15) that can be penetrated by the supporting elements (16) of the plaiting table.

  • Patent number: 5588170
    Abstract: The textile web (1) is guided through a relatively narrow shaft the limits of which are formed at least partially by the surface of rollers (2, 3). Nozzles (7), from which a treatment medium can be applied onto the textile web, are arranged in the curved sections (6, 6') of the shaft. Straight sections (8) between the rollers can be kept very short. The device is especially suitable for the treatment of tension-sensitive textile webs.

  • Patent number: 5564200
    Abstract: The material web (1) is acted upon by heated circulating air which permeates with the aid of a fan (7) from a pressure chamber (14) via inlets (6, 6') into the nozzle casings (4, 4'). In order to achieve laminar flow and thus an improved distribution of air, the fan (7) is removed as far as possible from the inlets (6, 6') and preferably suspended beneath the cover-wall (16) of the housing (2). This results in a relatively large and longitudinally extended pressure chamber (14) between the inlets (6, 6') and the pressure side (12) of the fan (7).

  • Patent number: 5402658
    Abstract: The fabric (1), which is pre-treated wet and is supplied in strand form, is inflated to form a balloon (15, 15', 15", 15'") by means of a gaseous medium, is then combined again to form a strand and in strand form is guided through an overflow pipe (17, 17', 17", 17'"). Subsequently, these process steps are repeated a plurality of times in analogous sequence.

  • Patent number: 5309613
    Abstract: The material web (3) to be treated is supplied continuously to a first material web store (1) and stored there in sections, is removed therefrom by being pneumatically conveyed and is hurled compressively against a first impact surface (4). Thereafter, the material (3) compressed in this way is supplied to a second material web store (2) and stored there in sections. Then, the same procedure is carried out in the opposite direction of conveying from the second material web store (3) against a second impact surface (4') and thereafter to the first material web store (1), but with a smaller length advance of the material web, this alternating movement is repeated alternately, and the difference in advance between these length sections of material web moved to and fro is guided away continuously from the second material web store (2).
