Abstract
Abstract A dehydrating blade for a paper machine comprising a surface portion made of ceramics, a base portion made from a synthetic resin material and having a T groove on the undersurface thereof, and a reinforcing material the top portion of which contacts with the undersurface of the surface portion and is placed in a groove formed by two projecting portions formed on the undersurface of the surface portion and which is buried in the base portion, is improved in preventing the blade from warping. When the base portion has on or more slits therein, the warping of the blade can be prevented completely.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A dehydrating blade for a paper machine comprising a surface portion made of ceramics and a base portion made from a synthetic resin material and having a hollow portion on the undersurface thereof, said surface portion having at least two projecting portions on the undersurface thereof for burying them in said base portion, said two projecting portions forming a groove therebetween, and a reinforcing material being buried in said base portion and the top portion of the reinforcing material contacting with the undersurface of the surface portion and placed in said groove formed by the projecting portions of the surface portion, wherein the reinforcing material is made of steel and in the form of the letter "T", wherein the base portion has a plurality of slits, with the slits being formed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base portion, and wherein the slits are formed with a constant distance alternately on one side and then on the other side of the base portion separated by the reinforcing material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A dehydrating blade for a paper machine comprising a surface portion made of ceramics and a base portion made from a synthetic resin material and having a hollow portion on the undersurface thereof, said surface portion having at least two projecting portions on the undersurface thereof for burying them in said base portion, said two projecting portions forming a groove therebetween, and a reinforcing material being buried in said base portion and the top portion of the reinforcing material contacting with the undersurface of the surface portion and placed in said groove formed by the projecting portions of the surface portion, wherein the reinforcing material is made of steel and in the form of the letter "T", wherein the base portion has a plurality of slits, with the slits being formed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base portion, and wherein the slits are formed with a constant distance alternately on one side and then on the other side of the base portion separated by the reinforcing material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A dehydrating blade according to claim 1, wherein the reinforcing material is made of two L-type steel members combined so as to make the form of the letter "T".
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A dehydrating blade according to claim 1, wherein said slits each have a width of 0.05 mm to 0.5 m.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A dehydrating blade according to claim 3, wherein the width of each of the slits is 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
