Application inea Juiy 23,
In the Fourdrinier section (of a paper making machine the Fourdrinier wire often becomes worn or breaks requiring thev 're-l placement of thewire b a new one. This 6 necessitates the shutting own of the machine for aconsiderable length of time to permit' changing oit the wire. There Vare two 1mv proved arrangements for the mounting forpasses through a suspended wire and entersl into the trunnion of the couch roll.
ln the first arrangement above referred to, this invention relates more particularly f to an arrangement `wherein an improved carriage and reel is provided to carry the Fourdrinier wire properly wound on reel .poles so that the carriage carrying an auxiliary `carriage and the roll of wire may be conveniently moved into position between the Fourdrinier frame and the couch frame to permit the new wire to be mounted in place of an old one which has worn out or broken. rlhe invention also covers a second methodl whereby the properly reeled wire is adapted to be moved into position over the lower couch roll over the suspended outer end of said roll.
It is an. obj ect of this invention to provide y a portable wire carrying reel mechanism or a9 .carriage adapted tol facilitate the mounting /of a new wire in the Fourdrinier section of a paper making machine in a comparatively short time. I
lt is also an object of the invention to a5 vprovide a portable main carriage adapted to be moved transversely into the couch roll end .of a Fourdrinier frame and carrying a reeled up wire on an auxiliary .reel carriage which is adapted to-be run oil of the main 5U carriafre and lonoitudinall alono the Four drinier Jframe as the wire is unreeled and placed in position on temporary supports .until the removed Fourdrinier section is pushed transversely back into the Fourdrinier frame. y

, Supported on the main carriage frame sills 12 is a movable reel mechanism or auxiliaryj carriage comprising a reel frame 21 having a pole carryingbox or crib 22 formed thereon to carry a pile of poles 15 as illustrated in Figure 2. The pole carrying end of the auxiliarycarriage is supported on rollers or wheels 23 while the other end of the auxiliary carriage is supported by reel rollers or wheels 24. The two reel rollers i .24 are each formed with double brackets 25 Referring to Figure 1 a Fourtlrinier framev ers 24 to form a wire reel.
lill) cord brace bars 29 which are integrally formed in the rollers 24. The reel poles 26 are thus held in position connected with roll- Screws 30 are engaged through the rims ot the rollers 24 and threaded into suitable apertures 1n the carriage sills 12 to hold the reel locked on the main carria e.
In the modified arrangement illustrated in Figures 8, 9 and 10 the reference numeral 31 illustrates a lower couch roll the back bearing 32 of which is supported on a pedestal or block 33. The front bearing 34 of the couch roll is normally supported on a removable supporting block 35, which, in supporting position is adapted to be seated on a pedestal 36. The wire 37 has one bight thereof engaged on a third pole 38 on which the wire is originally engaged. The remainder of the wire is rolled up on a pair of reel poles 38 on which the wire originally is received wound in a; manner similar to that illustrated in Figure 7. Reel rollers or wheels 39 are engaged on .the ends of two Yof the reel poles 38. The tworeel poles 38 are suspended at points to .the inside of the rollers 39 by means of suspending Cords 40 carried by hoist hooks 41. The third pole on which' the wire originally comes is removed from the wire leaving a looped portion of the wire to permit a pipe or rod 42 to be engaged through the wire andinserted into the front end of the couch roll trunnion 43. The outer end ot the pipe 42 is suspended from a hoist 44.

The operation is as follows: When a Fourdrinier wire breaks in a Fourdrinier section o'a paper making machine the wire is removed and the Four-- driniei:2 section is removed transversely from the frame by any suitable method. A new wire-to be mounted in the machine is delivered to the paper mill on three poles 26 iliary carriage 21 is nowplaced in position.,
on the carriage sills 12 as shown in Figure 2 and the outer bight of thewire 2 is opened up and is supported inposition by a plu rality of poles 15 and the third original ole 26 which is vsupported in the hooks 14, o the arms 13 while the remaining` oles 15 are supported by means of the chains 14a as il- .lustrated The movable block 9 is swung infto an `out of the way position illustrated in Figure 1 to adord a gap beneath the front couch roll bearing. The main carriage having the reel carriage thereon is`now rolled along the guide rails 11 transversely into the machine between the Fourdrinier frame 1 and the couch roll frame 5. As the main carriage is moved into position adjacent the couch roll end of the Fourdrinier frame il the open bight of the wire 2 passes over the i015 lower couch roll 7. The main carriage sills 12 are positioned to align with the frame' sills 1.` With the main carriage and the auxiliary reelcarriage in the position illustrated in Figure 1 the supporting poles 15 on the arms 13 are removed, permitting the bight of the wire to engage around the lower couch roll 7. The removed poles 15 .are deposited in the box 'or holder 22 of the aux.- iliary reel carriage 21 as illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 2. The locking screws 30 are released and the auxiliary carriage 2l is then advanced from the main carriage sills 12 along the Fourdrinier frame sills 1 toward the dotted line` position of Figure 1 adjacent the breast roll supports 4. After the auxiliary carriage is 'moved into the frame sills 1 the main carriage is removed from the machine. As the auxiliary carriage is advanced over the sills 1 the wire 2 is gradually unwound from 'the reel poles 26.
As the wire is unwound poles l5 are taken from the box 22 and are positioned transversely beneath the upper lap of the wire 2 with the projecting ends of the poles suppor-ted in the hangers or hooks 10. When the wire has been fully unwound the auxiliary carriage 21 is removed from themachine frame and the reel rolls 24`are rewire 2 is no w properl supportedI in draped ower couch roll 7 bight of the wire. l
osition in the Four r'inier :frame with the proecting through one The -removed Fourdrinier section is now pushed back into place and the various sup porting poles 15 and 26 are removed from the respective sup orts. Whentliis is done the upper lap of ty e wire is supported upon the Fourdrinier table rolls witl one bight of the wire passinoaround the breast roll and the other bight engaging around -the lower couch roll 7 as hereinbefore described.
Inthe modified arrangement illustrated in F'gures 8 to 10 inclusive, the wire is original y reeled up on 'three reel poles. 38 two of which are supported by the hoist members 40 and 41. The reel wheels 39 are engaged on the ends of the two reel poles 38.
The third pole 38 is now removed from the wire and a pipe or rod 42 is passed through the wire and engagedv in` the end of the couch roll trunnion 43.' The outer end of the pipe42 is suspended by a hoist mechanism 44.A The front of the couch roll is slightly lifted to permit the removable block 35, to be swung' into an. out of the way position to afford a gap below the front couch roll bearing 34 as illustrated in Figure 8. The suspended reel and the wire. carried thereon is moved into the Fourdrinier `frame with the looped hanging portion of the wire passing through the gap tov engage around the couch roll 31. After the wire'has been engaged on the` couch roll the reel poles.'38
' are lowered to permit the reel rollers 39 to track-on the Fourdrinier frame sills 1 as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10. The auxiliary carriage 45 is now placed on-the reel rollers 39 with said reel carriage carrying 'a plurality of poles sufficient to support the Fourdrinier when in removed position are i. the brackets 48 and 49 which support the'y guide 'rollers 50. The rollers 5() are provided for the purpose of temporarily supporting the ends of poles 46 while said poles are being placed transversely of the machine preparatory to being deposited in 1 l the pole box of theauxiliary carriage 45.
Previous to the time that a new wire is adapted to be mounted in position it will is first cut o i and that the breast roll is moved from the breast roll supports onto the removable Fourdrinier` section or table portion of the machine.. The removable .Fourdrinier section or table is adapted to be removed from the machine on suitable track' beamsconnected with the Fourdrinier frame byfany suitable arrangement desired.
vIt/will be seen thatlby the use of either 1ot' the methods described in this a plicamethods which required approximately 16 l men working for about 4 hours while the present arrangements require a force of only about 8 men for a period of 1 hour or less.
