Patent ID: 7135091

Claim:
An arrangement for threading a pulp web from a press section of a pulp machine to a dryer of the pulp machine in a machine direction, the arrangement comprising a closing tail threading cord arranged to convey a narrow tail end formed on the pulp web to and inside the dryer, where the tail threading cord normally travels outside the edge of the normal web line of the pulp web, which tail end can subsequently be broadened into a normal-width pulp web, the arrangement further comprising a third mechanism for gripping the tail end in order to bring the tail end inside/between the closing tail threading cord, whereby the gripping mechanism is arranged to function at a normal running speed of the pulp machine, the arrangement comprising: a first mechanism operably engaged with and configured to move the tail threading cord laterally inwards from its normal route in the machine direction, towards the pulp web, such that the tail threading cord travels in a substantially same route in the machine direction as the tail end, whereby the tail end is conveyed inside and received by the tail threading cord; and a second mechanism operably engaged with and configured to move the tail threading cord and the tail end received thereby laterally outward, back to the normal route of the tail threading cord located outside the edge of the pulp web, before the pulp web enters the dryer.
