Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
In combination with a paper-making machine having a permeable element for forming a paper web; a casing; a pulp-feed including a guide device on said casing and a nozzle duct communicating with said guide device and terminating at said permeable element to deliver pulp thereto; an adjustably mounted lip laterally bounding said nozzle duct relative to said permeable element; an adjusting mechanism connected to said lip for moving said lip relative to said permeable element to adjust the height of said nozzle duct; and a support means supporting said adjusting mechanism and said lip thereon and forming a structural unit therewith, said structural unit being adjustably mounted on said casing for moving said lip away from said permeable element and said guide device to expose said nozzle duct and said guide device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
In combination with a paper-making machine having a permeable element for forming a paper web; a casing; a pulp-feed including a guide device on said casing and a nozzle duct communicating with said guide device and terminating at said permeable element to deliver pulp thereto; an adjustably mounted lip laterally bounding said nozzle duct relative to said permeable element; an adjusting mechanism connected to said lip for moving said lip relative to said permeable element to adjust the height of said nozzle duct; and a support means supporting said adjusting mechanism and said lip thereon and forming a structural unit therewith, said structural unit being adjustably mounted on said casing for moving said lip away from said permeable element and said guide device to expose said nozzle duct and said guide device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said structural unit is pivotally mounted on said casing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The combination as set forth in claim 2 wherein said support means includes parallel walls, at least one support parallel to said lip and connected to said adjusting mechanism and between said walls, and a pin connecting each respective wall to said casing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said pulp feed further includes a distributing box in said casing for distributing pulp through said guide device into said nozzle duct.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
93 words
In a paper making machine, the combination comprising a casing housing a pulp distributing box and a guide device for distributing pulp supplied from said box; a structural unit movably mounted on said casing, said unit including a lip for bounding a nozzle duct leading from said guide device and an adjusting mechanism connected to said lip for moving said lip to adjust the height of said nozzle duct; and means for moving said structural unit relative to said casing and said guide device to expose said nozzle duct and said guide device.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
93 words
In a paper making machine, the combination comprising a casing housing a pulp distributing box and a guide device for distributing pulp supplied from said box; a structural unit movably mounted on said casing, said unit including a lip for bounding a nozzle duct leading from said guide device and an adjusting mechanism connected to said lip for moving said lip to adjust the height of said nozzle duct; and means for moving said structural unit relative to said casing and said guide device to expose said nozzle duct and said guide device.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
In a paper making machine as set forth in claim 5, said guide device including a number of fine ducts for distributing the pulp.
