Abstract: The invention relates to a road surface marking tape intended for temporary use and being of the kind that includes a base-layer of non-cured or non-vulcanized soft elastomeric material, and reinforcing material embedded in the base layer. The reinforcing material is comprised of short fibres of non-metallic material distributed generally uniformly in the base layer in an amount corresponding to 5-50 %, preferably 10-20 % of the weight of the base layer. The reinforcing material is preferably comprised of fibres of fabric, plastic or carbon with lengths generally between 0.5 and 5 mm, preferably between 1 and 3 mm. The elastomeric material is usually a rubber of the acrylnitrile-butadiene type. The invention also relates to a method of temporarily marking the surface of a road or highway with the aid of the inventive tape, wherein the tape is applied to said surface in the form of an elongated web taken from a tape reel with the aid of an appropriate mechanical tape-laying device, and removed when the traffic markings are no longer required, by freezing the tape to a brittle state and disintegrating the tape to a powder form and collecting said powder mechanically. Freezing, disintegration and collection of the tape material can be effected mechanically in one single step. The tape is conveniently disintegrated by brushing with a rotating steel brush or the like, and the resultant tape scrap is removed by suction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coarse dirt collector ( 7 ) for removing coarse material from a pulper ( 1 ). The coarse dirt collector ( 7 ) comprises a support arm ( 8 ) with a collecting basket ( 9 ). The collecting basket ( 9 ) consists of a frame ( 11 ) on which tines (Z) are fixed by means of a grid. The coarse dirt collector can be pivoted into and out of the pulper, to which end it moves about an axis of rotation (A) positioned at an angle to the plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (P) of the pulper. Said angle is between 20° and 40°. The advantage of said device is that the coarse dirt collector ( 7 ) has to carry out only one movement between its collecting and unloading position and unloading can take place automatically without need for a special scraping device. Because of the position of the tines (Z) there is no risk of undesirable loss of coarse material prior to unloading. This minimizes the mechanical and control-engineering related complexity of the device provided for by the invention in relation to the prior art and reduces the raking process cycle time. The coarse dirt collector is constructed such that it has as large a capacity as possible for the collection of coarse material. The coarse dirt collector also makes it possible selectively to remove only light-weight coarse material from the pulper.
