Adhesive dispensing device in a reel-up in a paper machine

An adhesive-dispensing device in a web reel-up for applying an adhesive agent to the web before the web is wound onto a reeling drum, said device comprising:

• a screen mounted on the reel-up adjacent to the web at a position upstream of the reeling drum and at an orientation generally transverse to the advancing web and associated air currents;
• a spray rack supported by the screen and extending transversely across the web;
• and
• a plurality of spray nozzles mounted along the spray rack for spraying an adhesive agent onto the web in a pattern which extends in a direction across the web.

A reel-up for reeling a web of fibrous material into reels on exchangeable reeling drums, said reel-up comprising:

• a stand for supporting at least one of the reeling drums;
• a rotatable winding surface adjacent to the stand for pressing the advancing web against the reeling drum and causing the web to be wound thereon;
• a spray rack supported by the stand and extending transversely across the web;
• a plurality of spray nozzles mounted along the spray rack and over the web for spraying an adhesive agent onto the web, said spray nozzles being selectively closable to stop the flow of adhesive agent;
• an inlet line for supplying the adhesive agent to the spray nozzles;
• and
• an outlet line for removing unused adhesive agent from the spray nozzles to prevent any adhesive agent from falling unintendedly onto the web after the nozzles have been closed.
