Abstract: A device for supporting a plurality of dewatering elements contacting a lower surface of a paper-making belt, wherein the plurality of dewatering elements are pivotably connected with each other through a link, the dewatering elements each being aerially supported by a stand, the stand being provided with a jack capable of reciprocally moving upwardly and downwardly, an upper end of the jack being pivotably connected to the link so that each of the dewatering elements can be aerially supported thereon, the link being pushed up and pushed down by the upward and downward movements of the jack, thereby adjusting inclination of each dewatering element.

Abstract: A head box in a paper machine, has a group of conduction pipes for guiding paper material from a mixing chamber into a slice. The pipes are fixed to a frame at one end of the head box on the side of the slice lip. Long portions of the group of conduction pipes, ending at end portions on the side of the mixing chamber, are not fixed to the frame. A perforated plate disposed at an outlet port side of the mixing chamber is also not fixed to the frame, and is connected to the group of conduction pipes. The group of conduction pipes thus freely expand and contract at their non-fixed ends on the side of the perforated plate. The perforated plate is integrally moved following thermal expansion and contraction of the group of conduction pipes, thereby absorbing the thermal expansion and contraction.

Abstract: A head box has a dispersing section provided with a numerous paper material slurry flowing pores at an inlet side of a paper material slurry passage leading to a slurry slip. A reduced stream section is disposed at an outlet side of the dispersing section. The reduced stream section is adapted to reduce the distance of the paper material slurry passage. An evener chamber is formed between an inlet side of the reduced stream section and an outlet side of the dispersing section. A reduced stream gate is disposed at the reduced stream section. The reduced stream gate is adapted to regulate the distance of the reduced stream section. The reduced stream gate is disposed on a bottom surface of the reduced stream section. The reduced stream gate is provided with a shaft portion pivotable about a fixed supporting point and a circular arcuate gate portion formed in concentric with and projected from the shaft portion along a circular arcuate surface of the shaft portion.

Abstract: A passage to supply the coolant and impellers having scraper vanes extending toward the surface of said passage are arranged in proximal relation to each other in a space for housing the liquid to be cooled. At least one of the coolant passage and the impeller is made movable in relation to the other. By the relative movement of the passage and the impeller, the motion of forcibly removing the cooled liquid from the heat exchange portion of the passage surface and the motion of supplying the high temperature liquid to the said heat exchange portion are repeated.
