This device is characterized in that the nozzle is formed by an open-ended tubular body provided at least with one opening in its periphery and fitted with a tubular, rotationally positionable plug peripherally provided with openings of different diameters provided to selectively face the openings of the tubular body in order to control the outflow of the water jet being ejected for the flushing of the swimming pool bottom. The top plug is selectively secured by means of a bayonet attachment into a number of positions when fitted to the tubular body of the nozzle.

Abstract: In the method in moistening of a web, water is applied with a wetting device (2) in a predetermined point on the surface of a paper web (W) or the like passing by the point, and the web is thereafter passed to a calender (C). The liquid is applied at such an early stage that before the surface treatment, the fibres exposed to wetting in the paper web (W) or the like have the time to absorb it at least 80% of the amount of liquid they are capable of absorbing. The distance travelled by the web between the drying section and the calender is increased with rolls (1) which guide the web (W) along a winding path.

Abstract: A seat capable of exhibiting improved seating characteristics. A backing cloth member of a one-piece structure is stretchedly arranged form a seat back section of a seat frame to a seat cushion section thereof. A net-skin member of a one-piece structure is laminated on a front surface of the backing cloth member so as to extend from the seat back section to the seat cushion section. The net-skin member includes a front mesh layer, a rear mesh member and a number of piles arranged between the front mesh layer and the rear mesh layer to connect the front and rear mesh layers to each other therethrough. Such constriction permits a central region of the net-skin member which exhibits maximum cushion characteristics to be arranged at a position corresponding to the hip to waist of a person on the seat, to thereby eliminate a hard feeling of the frame member positioned at an interface between the seat back section and seat cushion section, resulting in seating characteristics of the seat being highly improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a former-press section (100, 110) of a paper machine and to a method of transferring a web from a former to a press section. Between the former section (100) and the press section (110) there is a pre-press zone (PP) which removes water from the web (W) and through which the web (W) is passed as a closed draw from the former section (100) to the press section (110). The upper wet wire (10) or the equivalent transfer wire (10A) of the former section (100) is passed through the pre-press zone (PP), the web (W) being passed on the lower face of said wire into and through the pre-press zone (PP). Inside the loop of the upper wet wire (10) or of the equivalent transfer wire (10A) and/or inside the loop of the lower wet wire (20) there are transfer devices (15, 15a, 16, 26) based on the use of a pressure difference.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method in winding of a web in a centre-drive winder, wherein the roll that is being formed is loaded and/or supported by means of a rider roll unit (40) whose position can be varied and which consists of at least two rolls (42). In the method, the force that is applied by the rider roll unit (40) to the roll face in the radial direction and/or the distribution of said force between the rolls (42) in the rider roll unit (40) is/are measured by means of a detector of detectors (31 . . . 36) directly connected with the winding head of the rider roll unit (40). The nip force of the rolls (42) in the rider roll unit (40) and/or the distribution of said nip force is/are regulated on the basis of the measurement signal given by the detectors.
