Abstract

1420022 Conveying sheet material by gas cushion SAINT-GOBAIN INDUSTRIES 9 Feb 1973 [10 Feb 1972] 6461/73 Heading B8A [Also in Division C1] Sheet or strip material is carried by a gaseous cushion generator comprising at least one elongated panel having opposite the material a smooth face provided with intake orifices and discharge orifices, the panel being fixed to a body comprising chambers communicating with the orifices and connectable to a source of gas under pressure or vacuum source, each orifice comprising a bore containing a plug having a longitudinal relieved portion over the whole of its length to provide a slot between the plug and the bore. In the figures, sheet 3 is supported by a gaseous cushion generator comprising a panel 1 having intake orifices 4 connected through chambers 8 of body 7 to a source of gas under pressure and discharge orifices 5 connected through chambers 9 of body 7 to a suction source, the gas passage being defined by plugs 15 in the orifices.
