Abstract: An apparatus and method for winding tissue webs into a parent roll includes a rotatable reel drum having a flexible outer shell for engaging a web of tissue paper against a reel spool. A deflection sensor is mounted adjacent to the inner surface of the outer shell for measuring the amount of deflection of the flexible outer shell caused by the paper roll. The amount of deflection is related to the pressure at the nip point and, by moving the reel spool and flexible reel drum away from each other as the diameter of the paper roll increases, the pressure can be controlled at a desired level. Accordingly, a predetermined light nip pressure can be applied to the roll as the tissue web is wound thereon and large parent rolls of high bulk tissue can be manufactured with desired properties when unwound.

Abstract: The electrodes (29) have jet openings (26) which jet the electrolyte (31) to the steel strip (1), that is to say, the electrode is integrated with the nozzle which jets an electrolyte. By jetting the electrolyte to the steel strip in the air and applying a voltage to the electrode, the scale on the surface of the steel strip is removed. By jetting the electrolyte in the air, there is reduction in the size of an electrolyte tank storing the electrolyte, because the required quantity of an electrolyte decreases. Therefore, the descaling apparatus is miniaturized. Short-circuit electric current through electrolyte between electrodes decreases, and thereby the electric power efficiency improves. By individually adjusting the jet pressure of the electrolyte jets, the waving and the flexure of the steel strip is prevented, and we can arrange the electrodes close to the steel strip to reduce electric power. Providing many electrodes is accomplished because of the reduction in short circuit current and the improves the speed of the descaling because the electric current to the steel strip increases. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lower pre-heat block assembly (9) for use with a metal scarfing apparatus (5) is disclosed. The lower pre-heat block assembly has a lower block (38) and an extension (39) engaged upon and in overlying relationship with a front face (46) of the lower block. A gas discharge outlet (56) is defined within the front face of the block. The extension may partially overlie the gas discharge outlet such that a gas discharge orifice (70) is defined in the front face of the block by the extension. The extension includes an upper face (58) which extends forwardly from the front face of the block, and is recessed with respect to an upper face (41) of the block. So constructed, when a sheet-like oxidizing gas flow (82) is passed over the upper faces of the block and the extension, respectively, and as a fuel gas (85) is emitted through the gas discharge outlet, the fuel gas is pneumatically compressed between the oxidizing gas flow and the upper face of the extension such that the fuel gas is substantially uniformly distributed along the longitudinal length of the lower pre-heat block assembly and forms a uniform sheet-like fuel gas flow (90) which underlies and adjoins the sheet-like oxidizing gas flow so as to prevent ambient air from aspirating into the oxidizing gas flow and thereby result in a smooth and uniformly scarfed surface on the metal workpiece. <IMAGE>
