Method and an arrangement for manufacturing a web and a web manufactured in accordance with said method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing a material web of synthetic textile material for conversion into table-cloths. Here, two material webs produced according to standard procedure are joined along their respective side edges to a material web folded to a V shape for obtaining a total width on the produced web that is greater than the maximum width of a web produced by standard procedure. The inventive apparatus includes two reels (1, 2) on which are would webs (3, 4) of standard manufacture, which may be rolled off the reels and into mutual proximity with the aid of a roll nip (6) disposed after the reels, there also being a folding plate (8) for folding a third web (5) into a V shape which may be joined to both webs (3, 4) along their respective juxtaposed side edges by its free side portions (12, 13) to form a material web (11) having a total width which is greater than the maximum width of a web produced by standard procedure. A web (11) produced in accordance with the method and apparatus includes at least three webs (3, 4, 5) spliced to each other along their respective side edges, at least one web (5) having its free side portion (12, 13) overlapping and joined to the longitudinal edges (9, 10) of the juxtaposed webs (3, 4).
