High speed multi-cylinder machine for manufacturing a multi-ply paper

Claim 1

HIGH SPEED MULTI-CYLINDER ARRANGEMENT FOR MANUFACTURING MULTI-PLY PAPERS COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF CYLINDER PARTS, EACH CYLINDER PART COMPRISING A WIRE CYLINDER HAVING AN UPPER SECTION AND A LOWER SECTION AND ROTATING AT A HIGH SPEED, AN ENDLESS WIRE SCREEN FIRST MAKING CONTACT WITH SAID WIRE CYLINDER AT SAID UPPER SECTION AND ENCIRCLING A PART OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER AND SEPARATING FROM CONTACT WITH SAID WIRE CYLINDER AT SAID LOWER SECTION, AN ENDLESS FELT ENCIRCLING SAID ENDLESS WIRE SCREEN AT SAID ART OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER SO THAT SAID ENDLESS WIRE SCREEM AND SAID FELT FROM A SHEET FORMING ZONE THEREBETWEEN, SAID WIRE SCREEN AND FELT MOVING AT THE SAME RUNNING SPEED AS SAID WIRE CYLINDER, TENSION MEANS FOR CONTACTING SAID WIRE SECEEN WITH SAID WIRE CYLINDER UNDER PRESSURE, MEANS FOR GUIDING SAID FELT SO THAT PART OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER IS ENCIRCLED WITH SAID FELT AND SAID FELT IS URGED TOWARD SAID WIRE SCREEN UNDER PRESSURE, A FLOW BOX DISPOSED ABOVE SAID WIRE SCREEN AND PROVIDED WTH A BOTTOM APERTURE TO DEPOSIT STOCK UPON SAID WIRE SCREEN SAID FLOW BOX BEING LOCATED ABOVE SAID WIRE SCREEN AT A PREDETERMINED DISTANCE FROM AN INGOING NIP OF SAID SHEET FORMING ZONE, SAID WIRE SCREEN BEING CARRIED ALONG A HORIZONTAL PASSAGE BETWEEN A POSITION BELOW CARRIED BOX AND SAID INGOING NIP, A COUCH ROLLER DISPOSED BELOW SAID WIRE CYLINDER, SAID COUCH ROLLER BEING URGED TOWARD SAID WIRE CYLINDER TO PRESS SAID FELT AND WIRE SCREEN AGAINST SAID WIRE CYLINDER, FIRST AND SECOND ROLL MEANS SPACED FROM SAID COUCH ROLLER, SAID SCREEN EXTENDING FROM SAID LOWER SECTION OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER AROUND SAID FIRST ROLL MEANS WHEREBY SAID FIRST ROLL MEANS DETERMINES THE LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID SCREEN FROM SAID WIRE CYLINDER, SAID FELT EXTENDING FROM SAID SHEET FORMING ZONE AT SAID COUCH ROLLER TO SAIID SECOND ROLL MEANS WHEREBY SAID SECOND ROLL MEANS DETERMINES A LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID FELT AND SCREEN AT SAID COUCH ROLLER, A SUCTION SLIDER LOCATED ADJACENT SAID LOWER SECTION OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER BETWEEN A SURFACE OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER AND SAID WIRE SCREEN ADJACENT SAID LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID SCREEN FROM SAID WIRE/CYLINDER, SAID SUCTION SLIDER HAVING A SUCTION APERTURE FACING IN THE TANGENTIAL DIRECTION OF SAID WIRE CYLINDER AT TION SLIDER LOCATED ADJECENT SAID LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID DER TO DRAW WATER FROM WITHIN SAID WIRE CYLINDER, MEANS CONNECTED TO SAID SUCTION SLIDER FOR APPLYING SUCTION THERETO, AND A SUCTION BOX LOCATED BELOW SAID FELT AND BELOW SAIID WIRE SCREEN OF SAID LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID FELT FROM SAID SCREEN, SAID SUCTION BOX LOCATED BELOW SAID FELT AND BELOW SAID WIRE SCREEN CLOSELY DOWNSTREAM OF SAID SUCTION SLIDER, SAID SUCTION BOX PROVIDED WITH A SUCTION APERTURE CLOSELY FACING THE UNDERSIDE OF SAID FELT FOR HOLDING PAPER FORMED BETWEEN SAIID FELT AND WIRE SCREEN TO SAID FELT AT SAID LOCATION OF SEPARATION OF SAID FELT FROM SAID SCREEN.
