Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An air foil web stabilizer is constructed with its opposite ends disposed generally at a slight angle to provide a lateral component to the air discharge in the general direction of web movement to thereby remove wrinkles from the web.
  • the present invention provides an effective wrinkle remover usable without direct contact with the web, wherever there is any tendency for a moving web to wrinkle.
  • the device of the present invention may be employed wherever it is desired to prevent wrinkling of a moving web, as well as for removing wrinkles from a web.
  • an air foil web stabilizer which as previously constructed and employed extended straight across the web normal to the direction of web movement and with its discharge of air in either the direction of or against web movement, is constructed with its opposite end portions disposed at a slight trailer angle to give the air discharging forwardly therefrom a lateral component which tends to stress or stretch the web laterally and progressively as it moves forwardly.
  • the present invention eliminates the need for a bowed roll.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating employment of the invention in a part of a paper machine
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 with parts broken away and sectioned;
  • FIG. 3 is a detail section of the air foil construction taken on line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a variation in construction of the stabilizer
  • FIG. 5 illustrates another variation in the stabilizer construction.
  • the invention is illustrated as applied to a web of paper 1 leaving the sizing press turning roll 2 and passing over a second roll 3 in its course through a paper machine. Notice that numerous wrinkles or waves 4 appear in the web 1 as it leaves the turning roll 2.
  • an air foil stabilizer 5 is disposed transversely above the web and a second air foil stabilizer 6 is disposed transversely below the web as shown in Flg. l.
  • the air foil stabilizers 5 and 6 are of the construction generally illustrated and described in application Ser. No. 817,834, referred to above.
  • each stabilizer 5 and 6 comthe trailing side of the chamber 7 'ust behind the curved air for] surface.
  • the air follows the an oil surface 10 forwardly in between the plenum chamber 7 and the web 1 in the general direction of movement of the web as indicated by the arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the plenum chamber 7 instead of being straight from end to end, has its opposite end portions angled approximately from 5l0 from the center line 12 in a trailing direction relative to the direction of movement of the web.
  • the angular end portions of the plenum chamber 7 extend straight from each corresponding end to near the center where the supply pipe 9 connects with the plenum chamber and the plenum chamber points either in the direction of web movement or opposite thereto.
  • the exact angle employed for the end portions of the plenum chamber may vary as shown in F IG. 4 where end portions 13 are disposed at a greater angle and are generally shorter, leaving a central portion 14 that is parallel to the center line normal to the direction of web movement.
  • FIG. 5 A more expensive construction is illustrated in FIG. 5, where the plenum chamber 15 is curved from end to end with the ends gradually trailing from the center and simulating the effect of the earlier described angular constructions.
  • An air foil web stabilizer comprising a generally tubular plenum chamber extending transversely of a moving web with a longitudinally extending air discharge slot directed toward the web and an air foil surface including a curved portion to which said slot discharge is generally tangential and a substantially flat portion merging therewith and disposed generally in a plane parallel to and adjacent the web for controlling the flow of air along the surface of the web in the general direction parallel to web movement, characterized by having the end portions of the stabilizer angularly offset in a trailing direction of air flow in the general plane of the web to provide a lateral component of air direction generally stressing the web transversely thereof to avoid wrinkles in the web.
