Filed: 1994-05-18
Abstract: ABSTRACT    A twin-wire web former in a paper machine, having a single--wire initial portion, after which a twin-wire zone starts in the area of a ribbed deck of a first forming shoe placed inside one of the wire loops.  After the first forming shoe, a pressure-loaded dewatering unit is arranged and which includes opposite sets of ribs and dewatering chambers.  A first dewatering chamber in the dewatering unit is placed above the first forming shoe so as to remove water that drains from the area of the curved ribbed deck of the first forming shoe through its suction-deflector duct.   The first  dewatering  chamber  is  followed  by  a  second  dewatering chamber, whose lower part is connected with a set of dewatering and guide ribs having gap spaces into which a drain duct of the second dewatering chamber opens.  Against the set of dewatering and guide ribs, a set of loading ribs operates, which is placed inside the opposite wire loop and which operates by means of the medium pressure of loading hoses.

Patent CA-2131009-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NELSON RICHARD
IPC: G03G7/00
Filed: 1993-02-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing multi-layered carbonless sheets on which indicia can be xerographically produced with little or no non-specific development. The process involves coating a sheet with a CB composition containing a carboxymethyl cellulose polymer, a crosslinker, a salt of a polyvalent metal ion and a small amount of a wall forming acrylic resin. The CB coating formed resists breakage and release of dye when non-specific pressure is applied to the sheet thereby resulting in CF copies having improved brightness and reduced non-specific development.
