Definitions

  • a machine for forming a random fiber web comprising means for fiberizing fibrous material received from a supply means into a mass of substantially individual fibers, decreasingly tapering fiber conveying air duct means for receiving and conveying therethrough the mass of fiberized fibers from the fiberizing means and for reducing the width of the mass of fibers from the fiberizing means to the other end of the air duct means, a plurality of air nozzle means extending into the air duct means in spaced positions transversely across the air duct means with individual regulator means for controlling the flow of air through each air nozzle means whereby the transverse cross-sectional distribution of fibers in the decreasingly tapering air duct means may be controlled and balanced, and rotating foraminous means including suction means therein to receive the mass of air conveyed fiberized fibers from
  • This invention relates to an improved machine for forming a random fiber web and more particularly to an improved machine for forming a random fiber web of wood pulp fibers in which the width of the random fiber web is substantially reduced from the width of the wet pressed wood pulp supply sheet which is fed into the machine and is fiberized into individual fibers for forming the random fiber web.
  • the major problem with reducing the width of the random fiber web produced is a resulting uneven distribution of the individual fibers in the random fiber web.
  • the resulting reduced width random fiber web normally had a tendency to have an excess of fibers at the edge portions due to the mechanical arrangement of a tapering air duct or other similar means for reducing the width of the random fiber web which resulted in bunching up of the fibers at the tapering edges of the duct.
