Apparatus and method for adjusting the track of a granule-coated sheet

Номер: US20120141657A1
Автор: David P. Aschenbeck
Принадлежит: OWENS CORNING INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL LLC

A method for adjusting the track of a granule-coated sheet includes moving a granule-coated sheet around a drum. The granule-coated sheet includes first granules. A track of the granule-coated sheet is sensed at the drum. A first signal is generated when the granule-coated sheet has moved off a pre-designated track. Second granules are applied to a lane portion of the granule-coated sheet prior to the drum in response to the first signal. The second granules make the granule-coated sheet thicker in the lane portion relative to a thickness of the granule-coated sheet outside the lane portion.

A granule applicator for an apparatus and method for applying granules onto an asphalt-coated sheet moving in a machine direction with improved resolution and edge definition of the applied granule patches and blends. In one embodiment a blend drop conveyor has an upper flight urged into a concavity by an outside, third roller. The conveyor is configured to receive granules at a first speed in an area near the convergence of the upper flight and the third roller, and to traject them on a second path at a second speed near the sheet speed of the substrate below. The applicator thus changes the speed and direction of the granules, to cause them to land on the substrate with good edge definition and minimal splatter.

The present invention relates to an absorbent structure, preferably for use in absorbent products, such as used in the food, consumer, household, building and construction, beauty and medical industry, and as used in the personal hygiene industry. The substantially cellulose free absorbent structures continuously immobilise absorbent polymer material via initial smaller pockets and subsequently larger compartments allowing excellent fluid management of the absorbent polymer material in dry, partially and fully liquid loaded state. Preferably such absorbent structure volume increases are result of temporary secondary attachment patterns made in combination with substantially permanent primary attachment grids allowing the release of bigger volumes from the initial smaller volumes by detachment of the secondary attachments. Furthermore the absorbent structure according to an embodiment of the invention non-homogeneously swells to form a liquid-managing surface structure as a result of exposing the absorbent structure to liquid. The present invention foresees in the need for improved flexible, thin, lightweight absorbent structures which overcome the absorbency problems of the prior art during absorption, distribution and retention of liquids with optimal fit.

The substantially cellulose free absorbent structures continuously immobilise absorbent polymer material via initial smaller pockets and subsequently larger compartments allowing excellent fluid management of the absorbent polymer material in dry, partially and fully liquid loaded state. Preferably such absorbent structure volume increases are result of temporary secondary attachment patterns made in combination with substantially permanent primary attachment grids allowing the release of bigger volumes from the initial smaller volumes by detachment of the secondary attachments. Furthermore the absorbent structure according to an embodiment of the invention non-homogeneously swells to form a liquid-managing surface structure as a result of exposing the absorbent structure to liquid. The present invention foresees in the need for improved flexible, thin, lightweight absorbent structures which overcome the absorbency problems of the prior art during absorption, distribution and retention of liquids with optimal fit.
