PATENT APPLICATION
TITLE: A MULTI-PLY WEB FORMING APPARATUS
Background of the Invention Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multi-ply web forming apparatus. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-ply web forming apparatus for forming a top ply on a base ply.
Information Disclosure Statement
Bel Bond™ top wire formers permit upward removal of water from stock so that the resultant web has more uniform surface characteristics thereon.
More specifically, when stock is ejected from a headbox onto a fourdrinier wire, water is drained downwardly, leaving a fibrous web on the upper surface of the wire. Thereafter, the fibrous web is transferred to a press section for removing more water from the formed web.
The aforementioned downward drainage of water causes uneven surface characteristics on the resultant web. The Bel Bond™ unit is a top wire unit which includes a looped top wire which cooperates with the lower fourdrinier wire to define therebetween a forming section.
Water is removed upwardly from the stock during passage thereof through the forming section such that more even surface characteristics are imparted to the resultant formed web.
However, in the formation of a multi-ply web, a base ply is initially formed on the lower fourdrinier wire, and a secondary headbox is disposed immediately upstream relative to a top wire Bel Bond™ apparatus.
Although the aforementioned arrangement has proved successful in the formation of a multi-ply web, there exists a tendency for the top ply to crush during subsequent pressing thereof.
More particularly, when the stock is ejected from the secondary headbox, there exists a tendency for a fibrous mat to form on the underside of the top wire, such fibrous mat tends to trap lower consistency stock therebelow so that in the subsequent pressing operation, crushing of the web occurs.
The present invention seeks to overcome the aforementioned problem by removing water evenly from the top ply resulting in a more uniform consistency of stock in a "Z" direction.
Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a multi-ply web forming apparatus which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages of the aforementioned apparatus and to provide a considerable contribution to the art of multi-ply web forming.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of a multi-ply web forming apparatus which inhibits crushing of the resultant web, particularly heavy weight webs.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of a multi-ply web forming apparatus which includes a vacuum slot for assisting in the upward removal of water.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a consideration of the detailed description contained hereinafter, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multi-ply web forming apparatus for forming a top ply on a base ply. The former includes a looped lower forming wire for receiving the base ply thereon. A top looped forming wire cooperates with, and is disposed above the lower wire, for defining therebetween a generally horizontally disposed forming section having a first and a second end. A turning bar defines a curved surface, which is disposed beneath the lower forming wire and upstream relative to the first end of the forming section for guiding the lower wire. A secondary headbox is disposed closely adjacent to the turning bar such that stock ejected from the secondary headbox towards the first end of the forming section is deposited on the base ply, the stock ejected from the secondary headbox generating the top ply.
A curved dewatering shoe is disposed beneath the lower wire and adjacent to the first end of the forming section. The curved shoe has a center of curvature which is disposed below the lower wire such that a portion of water from the top ply is ejected through the top wire.
A vacuum slot means is disposed above the top wire and immediately downstream relative to the dewatering shoe for collecting the portion of water upwardly away from the top wire.
An inverted vacuum box is disposed immediately downstream relative to the vacuum slot and on the opposite side of the top wire relative to the dewatering shoe. The box defines a curved face having a center of curvature which is disposed above the top wire.
A plurality of dewatering blades are disposed in spaced relationship in a machine direction along the curved face. Each blade extends in a cross- machine direction such that the blades are disposed between the curved face and the top wire for guiding the top wire therepast.
A plurality of dewatering foils are disposed on an opposite side of the wires relative to the blades such that the consistency of the stock forming the top ply is increased during passage thereof through the forming section while maintaining the consistency of the top ply uniform in a "Z" direction so that crushing of the resultant web is inhibited.
In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the turning bar is adjustable such that positioning of the secondary headbox closely adjacent to the lower wire is permitted so that the stock ejected from the secondary headbox is ejected substantially parallel to the lower wire from the turning bar to the dewatering shoe.
The curved surface of the turning bar in one embodiment of the present invention is ceramic.
The curved dewatering shoe also includes a plurality of spaced bars which are spaced in a machine direction. Each bar extends in a cross- machine direction, and the bars include an upstream bar.
The dewatering shoe also includes a vacuum box in fluid communication with the spaces defined between each adjacent bar.
The stock is ejected from the secondary headbox so that such stock impinges on the base ply adjacent to the upstream bar of the plurality of spaced bars.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the dewatering shoe has a radius of curvature within the range 12 to 18 meters.
The vacuum slot means is an auto-slice which includes a lip means for directing the portion of water ejected from the top ply through the top wire. The auto-slice also includes collecting tank means associated with the lip means for collecting the portion of water therein.
In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the vacuum slot means includes a plurality of vacuum slots which are spaced relative to each other in a machine direction, each vacuum slot including an adjustable lip. The vacuum slot means also includes a collecting tank disposed above each lip, the arrangement being such that in use of the apparatus, water removed from the top ply through the top wire due to tension of the lower wire and a converging wire wedge defined between the wires is removed through the vacuum slot means so that trapping of lower consistency stock within the top ply by the formation of a fiber mat on the opposite side of the top wire relative to the vacuum slot means is inhibited.
The inverted vacuum box has a greater radius of curvature than the radius of curvature of the dewatering shoe.
Each blade of the plurality of dewatering blades is spaced at a distance relative to an adjacent dewatering blade. The distance is greater than the distance between adjacent bars of the dewatering shoe.
Each foil of the plurality of foils is disposed between adjacent blades of the plurality of dewatering blades such that the blades and foils impart dewatering pressure pulses to the multi-ply web during passage of the web between the blades and foils.
More specifically, the foils cooperate with the blades and are disposed opposite to the blades from an upstream blade along a portion of the machine direction length of the vacuum box.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the foils cooperate with the blades and are disposed opposite to the blades and downstream relative to an upstream blade to a downstream blade of the vacuum box.
Each dewatering foil includes a pair of threaded rods which are disposed parallel and spaced relative to each other and adjacent to one end of the foil.
A further pair of threaded rods are disposed spaced and parallel relative to each other adjacent an opposite end of the foil.
A yoke portion cooperates with the pair of rods such that vertical adjustment of the yoke relative to the rods is permitted.
A further yoke cooperates with the further pair of rods such that vertical adjustment of the further yoke relative to the further rods is permitted.
A foil bar having a first and a second end is arranged such that a first end of the foil bar is journalled within the first yoke, and a second end is journalled within the second yoke such that vertical adjustment of the foil bar is permitted. The journals permit rotational adjustment of the foil bar relative to the lower wire. Pneumatic tube means are disposed beneath the foil bar for adjustably loading the foil bar against the lower wire.
Many variations and modifications of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art by a consideration of the detailed description contained hereinafter. However, such modifications and variations fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Detailed Description of the Drawings
Figure 1 is a side-elevational view of a multi-ply web forming apparatus, generally designated 10 according to the present invention, for forming a top ply 12 on a base ply 14.
The former 10 includes a lower looped forming wire 16 for receiving the base ply 14 thereon.
A top looped forming wire 18 cooperates with and is disposed above the lower wire 16 for defining therebetween a generally horizontally disposed forming section 20 having a first and a second end 22 and 24, respectively.
A turning bar 26 defines a curved surface 28 which is disposed beneath the lower forming wire 16 and upstream relative to the first end 22 of the forming section 20 for guiding the lower wire 16.
A secondary headbox 30 is disposed closely adjacent to the turning bar 26 such that stock 32 ejected from the secondary headbox 30 towards the first end 22 of the forming section 20 is deposited on the base ply 14, the stock 32 ejected from the secondary headbox 30 generating the top ply 12.
A curved dewatering shoe 34 is disposed beneath the lower wire 16 and adjacent to the first end 22 of the forming section 20. The curved shoe 34 has a center of curvature disposed below the lower wire 16 such that a portion of water, as indicated by the arrow 36 , is ejected through the top wire 18.
A vacuum slot means, generally designated 38, is disposed above the top wire 18 and immediately downstream relative to the dewatering shoe 34 for collecting the portion of water 36 upwardly away from the top wire 18.
An inverted vacuum box, generally designated 40, is disposed immediately downstream relative to the vacuum slot 38 and on the opposite side of the top wire 18 relative to the dewatering shoe 34. The box 40 defines a curved face 42 having a center of curvature disposed above the top wire 18.
A plurality of dewatering blades 44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54, 55 and 56 are disposed in spaced relationship in a machine direction MD along the curved face 42. Each blade 44 to 56 extends in a cross-machine direction such that the blades 44 to 56 are disposed between the curved face 42 and the top wire 18 for guiding the top wire therepast.
Figure 2 is a side-elevational view of a further embodiment of the present invention showing a multi-ply web forming apparatus generally designated 10A.
The web forming apparatus 10A is essentially identical to the apparatus shown in Figure 1 , except in that the forming apparatus shown in Figure 2 further includes a plurality of dewatering foils 58,59,60 and 61
disposed on an opposite side of the wires 16A and 18A relative to the blades 44A to 56A such that the consistency of the stock forming the top ply 12A is increased during passage thereof through the forming section 20A while maintaining the consistency of the top ply 12A uniform in a "Z" direction so that crushing of the resultant web is inhibited.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the turning bar 26,26A is adjustable such that positioning of the secondary headbox 30,30A closely adjacent to the lower wire 16,16A is permitted so that the stock 32,32A ejected from the secondary headbox 30,30A is ejected substantially parallel to the lower wire 16,16A from the turning bar 26,26A to the dewatering shoe 34,34A.
The curved surface 28, 28 A of the turning bar 26, 26 A is fabricated from ceramic material.
Figure 3 is a side-elevational view of yet another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 shows a multi-ply web forming apparatus, generally designated 10B, which includes all of the essential features shown in the embodiment of Figure 1. However, the curved dewatering shoe, generally designated 34B, includes a plurality of spaced bars 62,63,64,65, 66,67,68,69,70,71 ,72,73,74,75,76 and 77 spaced in a machine direction MD. Each bar, as for example bar 62, extends in a cross-machine direction, and the spaced bars 62 to 77 include an upstream bar 62.
More specifically, the dewatering shoe includes a vacuum box 78 which is in fluid communication with spaces defined between adjacent bars, such as between bars 62 and 63.
The stock 32B ejected from the secondary headbox 30B impinges on the base ply 14B adjacent to the upstream bar 62 of the plurality of spaced bars 62 to 77.
The dewatering shoe 34B has a radius of curvature within the range 12 to 18 meters.
Figure 4 is an enlarged view of the vacuum slot means 38 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 4, the vacuum slot means 38 includes an auto-slice 80 which includes lip means 82 shown in Figure 4 for directing the portion of water 36' ejected from the top ply 12 through the top wire 18. The auto-slice 80 also includes collecting tank means 84 associated with the lip means 82 for collecting the portion of water 36" therein.
As shown in Figure 4, the auto-slice 80 more specifically includes a plurality of slots 86,87,88,89 and 90 which are spaced relative to each other in a machine direction with each slot 86 to 90 including a lip 82, 92, 93,94 and 95, respectively.
Each slot 86 to 90 includes a collecting tank 84,97,98,99 and 100 disposed above an associated lip 82 and 92 to 95, respectively. The arrangement is such that in use of the apparatus, water 36' removed from the top ply 12 through the top wire 18 due to tension of the lower wire 16 and a converging wire wedge 102 defined between the wires 16 and 18 is removed through the vacuum slot means 38 so that trapping of lower consistency stock within the top ply 12 by the formation of a fiber mat on the opposite side of the top wire 18 relative to the vacuum slot means 38 is inhibited.
In each of the embodiments shown in Figures 1-3, the inverted vacuum box 40 has a greater radius of curvature than the radius of curvature of the dewatering shoe 34.
Each blade, for example 44B, of the plurality of dewatering blades 44B to 56B is spaced at a distance D relative to an adjacent dewatering blade 45A, as shown in Figure 2. The distance D is greater than the distance d between adjacent bars 62 and 63 of the dewatering shoe 34B shown in Figure 3.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, each foil of the plurality of foils 58B,59B,60B and 61 B is disposed between adjacent blades of the plurality of dewatering blades 44B to 56B such that the blades 44B to 56B and foils 58B to 61 B impart dewatering pressure pulses to the multi-ply web during passage of the web between the blades and foils.
Figure 5 is a side-elevational view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention which is very similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 3. However, the foils 58C59C60 and 61 C cooperate with the blades 44C,45C,46C and 47C and are disposed opposite to the blades 44C to 47C from an upstream blade 44C along a portion of the machine directional length of the vacuum box 40C.
As shown in the embodiment of Figure 3, the foils 58B to 61 B cooperate with the blades 44B to 56B and are disposed opposite to the blades 44B to 56B and downstream relative to an upstream blade 44B to a downstream blade 56B of the vacuum box 40B.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the foils 59 to 61 are disposed upstream relative to the dewatering shoe 34A and opposite to the auto-slice 80.
In operation of the apparatus according to the present invention, in each of the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 5, and as more clearly shown in Figure 4, the stock forming the top ply 12 impinges on the top wire 18 in the vicinity of the leading lip 82 of the slot 86.
The lips 82 and 92 to 95 are adjusted such that as the top wire 18 extends around lips 82 and 92 to 95, the radius of curvature of the top wire 18 around the auto-slice 80 is approximately 15 meters.
Additionally, water present on the inside of the Bel Bond™ wire 18 due to the tension of the base wire 16 and the converging wire wedge 102 is removed.
No vacuum is applied within the collecting tanks 84 and 97 to 100.
The objective of the present invention is to increase the consistency of the in-coming stock in a uniform manner throughout the slurry, rather than forming a fiber mat on the outside of the Bel Bond™ wire 18 with a lower consistency beneath trapped by the base ply 14. The present invention eliminates crushing, which occurs at heavy weights in existing designs.
Also, the auto-slice unit 80 and the lead-in roll ahead of the auto-slice are both fully adjustable for optimum performance.
The present invention also includes an arrangement similar to that shown in Figure 5, but with the auto-slice removed so that a vacuum slot only is provided within the loop of the top wire for removing water upwardly.
Additionally, the radius of curvature of the upstream portion of the curved surface of the inverted vacuum box, that is the portion having opposing foils, has a radius of curvature of approximately 15 meters, while the remainder of the curved surface of the inverted vacuum box has a raidus of 5 meters.
Also, in another embodiment of the present invention, that portion of the inverted box adjacent to the opposing foils is flat, while the remainder of the curved surface is curved.
The various embodiments of the present invention enable even dewatering of the top ply in a multi-ply former so that the consistency of the stock forming the top ply is increased during passage thereof through the forming section while maintaining the consistency of the top ply uniform in a "Z" direction so that crushing of the resultant web is inhibited.
