Abstract

Abstract An air nozzle for drying a fabric web supported on a supporting frame has a nozzle head which is arranged transversely in relation to the fabric web. This nozzle head has a number of rows of adjacent nozzle holes extending in the nozzle head direction and located on the side facing the fabric web. The blowing direction of the nozzle holes in the discharge direction of the air blast, from the nozzle center to the edges thereof, decreases in steepness from one row to the next. Nozzle holes located in the same row have the same cross-section, where the cross-section of the individual nozzle holes, measured from the center of the air nozzle to the nozzle edges, increases from row to row. The total cross-section of the nozzle holes of each row, however, is constant, and the distance of the nozzle holes from the point of impingement of the appropriate jet core, from the center of the air nozzle to the nozzle edges, progressively increases from row to row. The nozzle holes may be provided in a perforated plate which has a number of strips which are bevel-edged at different angles. One of the aforementioned rows of nozzle holes is located in a respective one of the strips.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim 171 words
Air nozzle for drying a fabric web supported on a supporting means, comprising a nozzle head which is arranged transversely in relation to the fabric web, and which has a number of rows of adjacent nozzle holes extending in the nozzle head direction and located on the side facing the fabric web, characterised in that the blowing direction of the nozzle holes in the discharge direction of the air blast, from the nozzle center to the edges, decreases in steepness from one row to the next, nozzle holes located in the same row having the same cross-section, where the cross-section of the individual nozzle holes, measured from the center of the air nozzle to the nozzle edges, increases from row to row, where the total cross-section of the nozzle holes of each row is however constant, and where the distance of the nozzle holes from the point of impingement of the appropriate jet core, from the center of the air nozzle to the nozzle edges, progressively increases from row to row.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
Air nozzle in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the nozzle holes are provided in a perforated plate which has a number of strips which are bevel-edged at different angles, and each of which one row (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) of nozzle holes is located.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 209 words
In combination with a supporting means, an air nozzle for drying a fabric web supported on the supporting means, the air nozzle comprising an elongate nozzle head which is arranged transversely to the fabric web, and which has a number of rows of adjacent nozzle holes extending in the nozzle head direction and located on the side facing the fabric web, characterized in that the nozzle holes in the same row have the same cross-section, the cross-section of the individual nozzle holes, measured from the center of the air nozzle to the transverse nozzle edges, increases from row to row, the blowing direction of the nozzle holes in the discharge direction of the air blast, from the nozzle center to the transverse edges, decreases in steepness from one row to the next, the nozzle holes being provided in a perforated plate which has a number of strips which have a backwardly slanting bevel at predetermined angles relative to a plane of symetry of the air nozzle, in each of which strips one row (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) of nozzle holes is located, and a flow component of each air blown stream is directed toward the nxet outer air blown stream of the rows of the nozzle head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 209 words
In combination with a supporting means, an air nozzle for drying a fabric web supported on the supporting means, the air nozzle comprising an elongate nozzle head which is arranged transversely to the fabric web, and which has a number of rows of adjacent nozzle holes extending in the nozzle head direction and located on the side facing the fabric web, characterized in that the nozzle holes in the same row have the same cross-section, the cross-section of the individual nozzle holes, measured from the center of the air nozzle to the transverse nozzle edges, increases from row to row, the blowing direction of the nozzle holes in the discharge direction of the air blast, from the nozzle center to the transverse edges, decreases in steepness from one row to the next, the nozzle holes being provided in a perforated plate which has a number of strips which have a backwardly slanting bevel at predetermined angles relative to a plane of symetry of the air nozzle, in each of which strips one row (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) of nozzle holes is located, and a flow component of each air blown stream is directed toward the nxet outer air blown stream of the rows of the nozzle head.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 173 words
Air nozzle for drying a fabric web which is supported on a supporting means, the nozzle comprising an elongate nozzle member transversely arranged in relation to the fabric web, the nozzle member being provided with a multitude of substantially straight, substantially planar strips, each provided with a row of adjacent nozzle holes which extend along the longitudinal direction of the member and having axes which intersect the planar strips perpendicularly, characterized in that the nozzle holes located in the same row have the same cross-section, the cross-section of the individual nozzle holes measured from the center of the air nozzle to the longitudinal edges, increases from row to row, the discharge direction, and thus, the direction of the nozzle holes is less inclined in the flow-direction of the blown air from the nozzle center to the transverse edges of the nozzle member from row to row of the nozzle member, whereby a flow component of each one blown-air stream is directed toward the next outer ones of the rows of the nozzle member.
