Abstract
An apparatus for wetting an advancing filament bundle. A fluid is applied by means of a nozzle in the form of a fluid spray jet to the filament bundle advancing in spaced relationship with the nozzle. A portion of the spray jet is shielded before impacting upon the filament bundle, so that the application of fluid to the filament bundle is determined by the degree of shielding of the spray jet. With that, the invention is adapted for finely adjusting the fluid application to the filament bundle.
Claims9
An apparatus for wetting an advancing filament bundle, comprising
- a spray box which includes an inlet and an outlet for guiding the advance of a filament bundle therethrough,
- a nozzle mounted within the spray box in spaced relation to the advancing filament bundle, with the nozzle being connected to a source of fluid and located to direct a fluid spray jet toward the filament bundle, and
- a shielding member arranged in the spray box between the nozzle and the advancing filament bundle, such that the fluid spray jet produced by the nozzle is partially shielded and impacts only in part upon the filament bundle.
