  • Vacuum chamber 54 is bounded on the sides by supports 58 which in turn are attached to bridge 36 by supports 60.
  • Supports 56 are attached to supports 58 by any suitable means, for example, a pair of brackets 62 are spaced and attached to each support 58 such as by welding. Supports 56 are placed between each pair of spaced brackets 62 and secured thereto such as by bolting the flanges 64 of supports 56 to brackets 62.

  • Attached to the outboard surface of each rectangular plate 76 is a rectangular block 80 which serves as additional support for piston 74.
  • a hollow tube 82 is placed through each rectangular plate 70 at substantially the midpoint of each plate 70 with the length of tube 82 being greater than the distance between the outboard surfaces of each plate 70; thus the ends of tube 82 will extend beyond the outboard surface of each plate 76.

  • Each piston 74 has either .right or left hand female threads engageable with the corresponding male threads of shaft 84; therefore, when shaft 84 is rotated, each piston 74 will move simultaneously toward the center of vacuum chamber 54 or away from the center of vacuum chamber 54 depending on which way shaft 84 is b'eingrotated. Movement of pistons 74 toward or away from the center of vacuum chamber 54 decreases or increases the volume of the space in chamber 54 between each piston 74, thereby regulating the operating width of vacuum chamber 54 by limiting the application of subatmospheric pressure to web 12 through perforations 67 in plate'68 located between pistons 74.
  • Each piston 74 has a support bar 90 on each side of control shaft 84 extending through each piston 74.
  • Each bar 90 is supported at one end by restraining plates 70 and at the other end by stop plates 72.
  • These support bars 90 are provided as guides and supports for pistons 74 as pistons 74 move along their respective paths when control shaft 84 is rotated.

  • hose 108 may be secured along support 56 and then along support 58 by hose clamps 112.
  • Suction device 100 also contains an exhaust nozzle 114 which is preferably connected to a conventional muffler and exhaust system 103 by flexible hose for reducing the noise generated by suction device 100.
  • damper device 116 or preferably a conventional air relief valve, may be used and can be mounted on top cover 66 with an access port extending to the interior of vacuum chamber 54. It is preferable to mount damper 116 at substantially the midportion of top cover 66 in order to maintain a substantially uniform subatmospheric pressure inside vacuum chamber 54.
  • Damper 116 may be of any suitable type which will provide proper regulation of the magnitude of subatmospheric pressure applied to vacuum chamber 54. For example, the damper 116 may be progressively opened to vent the interior of chamber 54 to atmosphere thereby reducing the magnitude of the pressure. However, the pressure may also be controlled by increasing or decreasing the speed of suction device 100.

Vacuum means 14 is supported above bridge 36 by end supports 58, as previously described.
  • Web 12 is fed over input roller 118 and under perforated plate 68 so that the smooth surface 16 of web 12 is in contact with perforated plate 68 and the fluted surface of web 12 is in contact with input roller 118. Web 12 is then fed over output roller 118, around preheater roller 44, and into double facer 51.
  • Motor 86 is energized by suitable conventional controls (not shown) thereby rotating control shaft 84 in the desired direction. Since pistons 74 are engaged with control shaft 84, rotation of control shaft 84 will simultaneously move pistons 74 toward each other, thus, toward the edges of web 12. As illustrated in FIGS.

  • the machine operator by activating motor 86, can move guide plates 98 along their path of advance until they are in contact with the edges of web 12, at which time motor 86 is deenergized by the operator, which stops any further advance of guide plates 98.
  • the guide plates 98 are then in a position to guide web 12 along its path of advance by being in contact with the edges of the web.
  • pistons 74 are also positioned since both are interconnected, by motor 86 and control shaft 84.

  • guide plates 98 are in contact with the edges of web 12, the separation distance between each piston 74 will be substantially the same as the width of web 12. Thus, no, suction is lost through the perforations lying outside the width of web 12.
  • suction device 100 causes subatmospheric pressure to be applied in inner cavity 55 between pistons 74 in vacuum chamber 54.
  • the smooth side 16 of web 12 is thereby lifted and pressed against perforated plate 68, thereby causing tension orv a dragging force to be applied to the smooth surface 16 of web 12 between vacuum means 14 and the entrance to the double facer 51.
  • the amount of tension needed will vary depending on several factors such as the amount of wrap around roll 44 to apply the proper amount of heat to web 12, the web weight, and the like.

  • motor 86 is activated to either advance or retract guide plates 98 until they contact the edges of the new web. Regulation of damper 116 applies the correct amount of tension to the new web, and the process begins anew.
  • a conventional overload relay (not shown) may be connected to motor 86 so that in the event the pistons 74 are advanced until they contact restraining means 70, the overload relay will activate and cause motor 86 to shut down, thereby stopping the rotationof shaft 84 and advancing pistons 74.
  • a conventional limit switch 120 may be positioned on the inboard surface of stop 72 to deactivate motor 86 should pistons 74 be separated to their maximum limit thereby stopping the rotation of shaft 84 and retracting pistons 74.
  • the foregoing has presented a novel web guiding and tensioning device which is capable of guiding an advancing web along its path of advance and at the same time applying a controlled tension to the smooth surface of the web thereby greatly reducing flute crush and noise levels created when flutes are caused to pass over a conventional guiding and tensioning device.
  • the apparatus for guiding and tensioning the web has been illustrated as being positioned above the bridge because as the web moves along the bridge, the smooth surface of the web is facing up and in order to apply tension to the web, the webs top smooth surface must contact the bottom perforated plate of the apparatus.

As the web moves along the bridge the smooth surface of the web can then pass over the perforated plate for applying tension thereto. It should be noted that additional devices may have to be used, such as air blowers or mechanical guides, to straighten the loops prior to the web passing over the perforated plate.
