Abstract: The invention relates to a forming head for dry forming a fibrous web, which forming head is positioned above a forming wire opposite a suction unit. The forming head is divided into at least two independent interconnected distribution units, each of which comprises at least one revolving roller provided with protruding spikes. By dividing the forming head into a plurality of interconnected distribution units, a more efficient disintegration of agglomerates, shadows and/or lumps in the fibre material is achieved compared to the known forming heads, thereby ensuring a more homogenous final product.

Abstract: An absorbing article has a hydrophobic, liquid impermeable back side layer and a liquid permeable top layer together with an interposed hydrophilic core layer. The article is made so that at least the back side layer comprises hydrophobic vegetable fibers, preferably kapok fibers, and that the top lay can comprise wool fibers. Such an article is advantageous since it may be used for keeping the user warm in situations where there is need for liquid absorption without the risk of unintended temperature elevation known from plastic products.
