Abstract
Abstract The auxiliary roll of the separating system is located downstream of the main roll and is spaced from the main roll at a distance less than 0.25 times the diameter of the auxiliary roll and greater than the combined thickness of the two wires and paper web therebetween, e.g. a distance of 10 millimeters. A separating wall is located between the main roll and main wire on the upstream side to block the entry of air between the main wire and main roll. The spacing of the two rolls ensures a positive separation of the paper web on the main wire.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A separating system for separating two wires in a double wire paper making machine comprising a main wire of a given thickness; an auxiliary wire of a given thickness for conveying a paper web with said main wire in a given direction; a main roll having a solid circumferential surface with said main wire trained thereon; and an auxiliary roll having said auxiliary wire trained thereon; said auxiliary roll being disposed downstream of said main roll relative to said direction and being spaced from said main roll at a distance less than 0.25 times the diameter of said auxiliary roll and greater than the combined thickness of said wires and said web whereby a conveyed paper web is separated from said auxiliary wire and advanced with said main wire during operation of said system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A separating system for separating two wires in a double wire paper making machine comprising a main wire of a given thickness; an auxiliary wire of a given thickness for conveying a paper web with said main wire in a given direction; a main roll having a solid circumferential surface with said main wire trained thereon; and an auxiliary roll having said auxiliary wire trained thereon; said auxiliary roll being disposed downstream of said main roll relative to said direction and being spaced from said main roll at a distance less than 0.25 times the diameter of said auxiliary roll and greater than the combined thickness of said wires and said web whereby a conveyed paper web is separated from said auxiliary wire and advanced with said main wire during operation of said system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A separating system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said distance is less than ten millimeters.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
A separating system as set forth in claim 1 which further comprises a separating wall between said main roll and said main wire upstream of said main roll, said wall extending from the surface of said main roll to said main wire to close a space between said main roll and said main wire.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A system as set forth in claim 3 which further comprises a stripper edge on said separating wall at an end of said wall facing said main wire for stripping surplus water on said main wire.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary roll has a smaller diameter than said main roll.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the distance between the axis of said auxiliary roll and the axis of said main roll parallel to a portion of said auxiliary wire between said rolls is 0.03 to 0.5 times the diameter of said auxiliary roll.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary wire has a loop angle at said auxiliary roll of no more than 90°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary roll has a solid surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary roll has a surface with blind recesses.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said auxiliary roll has a surface formed with apertures to allow air to flow outwardly from the interior of said auxiliary roll.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
170 words
A separating system for separating two wires in a double wire paper making machine comprising a main wire of a given thickness; an auxiliary wire of a given thickness for conveying a paper web with said main wire in a given direction; a main roll having a solid circumferential surface with said main wire trained thereon; an auxiliary roll having said auxiliary wire trained thereon; said auxiliary roll being disposed downstream of said main roll relative to said direction and being spaced from said main roll at a distance less than ten millimeters and greater than the combined thickness of said wires and said web whereby a conveyed paper web is separated from said auxiliary wire and advanced with said main wire during operation of said system; and a separating wall between said main roll and said main wire upstream of said main roll, said wall extending from the surface of said main roll to said main wire to close a space between said main roll and said main wire.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
170 words
A separating system for separating two wires in a double wire paper making machine comprising a main wire of a given thickness; an auxiliary wire of a given thickness for conveying a paper web with said main wire in a given direction; a main roll having a solid circumferential surface with said main wire trained thereon; an auxiliary roll having said auxiliary wire trained thereon; said auxiliary roll being disposed downstream of said main roll relative to said direction and being spaced from said main roll at a distance less than ten millimeters and greater than the combined thickness of said wires and said web whereby a conveyed paper web is separated from said auxiliary wire and advanced with said main wire during operation of said system; and a separating wall between said main roll and said main wire upstream of said main roll, said wall extending from the surface of said main roll to said main wire to close a space between said main roll and said main wire.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
47 words
A system as set forth in claim 11 wherein the distance between the axis of said auxiliary roll and the axis of said main roll parallel to a portion of said auxiliary wire between said rolls is 0.03 to 0.5 times the diameter of said auxiliary roll.
