  • these flow effects generated by the guide elements 13.1 and 13.2 can be advantageously used to influence the fiber flow in accordance with the desired deposit.
  • the air guide elements 13.1 and 13.2 in the air inlet slots 8.1 and 8.2 with opposite orientations.
  • Fig. 6 an embodiment shown in which at the upper guide end 18.1 and 18.2 of the mold sheets 10.1 and 10.2 a plurality of mutually spaced air guide elements 13.1 and 13.2 are arranged in the form of baffles 14.
  • the baffles 14 have an inclined to guide the sucked secondary air guide surface.
  • the guide elements 13.1 arranged at the leading end 18.1 of the shaped metal sheet 10.1 are shown in a solid line.
  • the angular position of the guide plates 14 can be adjusted in this embodiment, so that the inflow angle formed by the guide plates 14 can be changed.
  • the adjusting mechanism could for this purpose be designed such that all baffles 14 held at a leading end 18.1 or 18.2 can be set collectively in the desired angular position.
  • the adjustment mechanism could also allow a single adjustment to the baffles 14, so that individual adjustment per baffle would be possible.
  • the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention thus offer a high degree of flexibility for the individual influencing of the fiber flow in order to obtain a desired fiber orientation during the filing of the filaments.
  • Fig. 7 a further embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown together with a spinning device. In the in the Fig. 7 illustrated embodiment, only a cross-sectional view is shown.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 7 has a heatable spinning beam 32, which has on its underside an elongated spinneret with a plurality of nozzle bores. The spinneret is not shown here.
  • a cooling device 33 is provided below the spinning beam 32, which has two pressure chambers 34.1 and 34.2 laterally next to the spinning beam 32, which form a spinning shaft 39 via a respective blowing wall.
  • a trigger device 1 is arranged below the cooling device 33, which forms an extraction channel 35 in extension to the spinning shaft 39.
  • the discharge channel 35 is sealingly connected to the cooling device 33, so that the cooling air of the cooling device 33 is guided together with the filament curtain through the discharge channel 35.
  • On the outlet side of the discharge channel 35 a plurality of mold plate pairs 9 and 10 are arranged, between each of which a diffuser 12.1 and 12.2 is formed. Between the draw-off device 1 and the first shaped sheet metal pair 9, the air inlet slots 7.1 and 7.2 are formed, through which the inflow of secondary air is regulated.
  • the storage area is sealed by two guided on the top of the storage belt 20 sealing rollers 36.1 and 36.2.
  • a vacuum box 22 is provided on the underside of the storage belt 20, which is connected to a suction port 23 and a vacuum source, not shown.
  • the storage belt 20 is also made gas-permeable in this embodiment and driven as an endless belt not shown here drives in the tape running direction.
  • the sealing rollers 36.1 and 36.2 could also be assigned lower rollers, which would be held on the underside next to the vacuum box 22.
  • the generation of the primary air is carried out substantially by the cooling air.
  • the fiber flow generated by the extraction device 1 is formed by the cooling air and the filament curtain, which is influenced in the further course of the leadership of the fiber stream by the supplied secondary air.
  • the guide means used in the illustrated embodiments for producing one or more guide paths of the fiber stream are exemplary. Basically can be used as a guide arbitrarily shaped metal sheets or rollers or other shielding to form the guidances. It is essential here that a secondary air drawn in through an air inlet slot is directed via suitable air guide elements in such a way that a partial flow of the secondary air flows transversely to the depositing belt and thus influences the deposition of the fibers in the fiber stream.
  • the secondary air flow has been generated in each case from the environment.
  • an additional air source is connected to one or both of the air inlet slots containing the air guide elements.
  • the secondary air can also be actively fed through an air source.
