Abstract
Rope guide arrangement, deflection device, and method for guiding a leader strip of a material web through a device. The arrangement includes at least two ropes being arranged offset relative to one another in a first plane defined by a machine direction and a transverse machine direction. Further, the at least two ropes are arranged offset relative to one another in a second plane oriented at a non-zero angle from the first plane.
Claims27
A rope guide arrangement for guiding a leader strip of a material web through a device, comprising:
- at least two ropes being arranged offset relative to one another in a first plane defined by a machine direction and a transverse machine direction;
- and
- the at least two ropes being arranged offset relative to one another in a second plane oriented at a non-zero angle from the first plane, thereby forming a double offset of the at least two ropes,
- wherein the double offset is maintained over at least part of a transfer section of the device.
A deflection device for a rope guide in a material web production machine, comprising:
- a rope placement area having a contoured surface in an axial direction;
- the contoured surface comprising at least one rope groove and a structure adjacent the least one rope groove,
- wherein the contoured surface is structured and arranged to create a clamping force between a first rope positionable in the at least one rope groove and a second rope positionable to face the structure.
A method of guiding a leader strip of a material web through a device, comprising:
- clamping the leader strip between at least two ropes arranged to be offset relative to one another in a first plane defined by a machine direction and a transverse machine direction and to be offset relative to one another in a second plane oriented at a non-zero angle from the first plane;
- and
- guiding the leader strip through the device.
